Authorities sa3’ the harvesting should be done as soon as the tops turn yellow. Dry them in the sun for a week or two before removing the tops. Wait a month before removing the dried roots, old corms and bulb lets. Most of the little ones will bloom next year, if planted early. Store the corms where they will not freeze. They may be put in paper bags, if the bags are filled only to a depth of not more than three inches and are left open at the top. Now here is the most import ant part. For every 100 corms use one ounce of naphthalene flakes, scattering it among them. The flakes can be bought at the drug store and their use will kill any thrips that may be hidden among the glads. Thrips are those tiny insects that cause yellow foliage and blighted tflboms in summer. It is best to cover the bulbs dur ing this treatment to confine the fumes—and the odor. After a month shake out any flakes that have not. evaporated. I hope you try this. I left it off last year and paid the pen alty during this year’s blooming season. Pressure cookers are again on the market, though not plentiful yet. Prices are very little, if any. higher than before the war. You don't need one very often in sum mer; but if you do any canning of meat in winter, a pressure cooker will be a great help. If not too large for daily use. “pressur ing" meat in the cooker will re duce cooking time two-thirds. Manyof thenew ones have cooking utensils included. If not, you can put the meat in a smaller con tainer and set the whole thing in the larger one. At our church we have a per fectly beautiful new pulpit stand. It is made of solid walnut and the work was done by Mr. Elling ton ot the Wendell High School faculty assisted by Pastor Griffin Zebulon’s claim on Mr. Elling ton is that he married our Dorothy Horton. The old stand was saved from the fire that destroyed the Baptist church here years ago and will still be used, though not in the main au ditorium. Mr. Griffin offered it to me for my class room, and the idea of talking to my girls from behind a pulpit stand got me so flustered I couldn’t bear the idea. Far better for me is the table wo have. Have you learned to' like the butter substitutes we so often hav£ to use now? Do you like it better after mixing in the little package of yellow coloring that comes with it? And do you know why you have to do that mixing yourself? It is because dairymen have had enough influence on Congressmen to get a law passed making it illegal for oleomargar ine to be sold colored. They claim that only butter is entitled to be yellow' and that for substitutes to be the same color is unfair to dairymen. As if butter itself do~s not sometimes have coloring add ed! And if anyone can’t tell the difference between margarine and good butter, there isn’t any, so far as he is concerned. For me there is a big difference: but I prefer a good substitute to sorry butter. Would you have thought that a person in Zebulon had helped raise silkworms for sale? Mrs. A. D. Antone says that when she was a child in Syria her father raised them for his money crop. They also grew the mulberry bushes on which the silkworms feed. After they finished spinning their cocoons of silken thread the worms themselves were killed to prevent their breaking the threads when hatching into moths, and twice a year Mrs. Antone’s father or brother went to Bey ruit to sell the cocoons. Mrs. An tone says they also grew many of the grapes that are dried for raisins, sometimes having to prop up the heavy clusters. She still grows the Syrian eggplant and cucumbers, which differ from the varieties usually seen here.

I ..">(> Per Year, Payable In Advance Farm Bureau The next Farm Bureau meeting will be Oct. 9th, at 8:00 p. m„ in the Wakelon High School build ing. All members are urged to be present and to bring new mem bers. We have a membership of one hundred and fourteen bur. there are twelve hundred farm ers in Little River Township. We should have a majority of farm ers to impress our representatives in Congress. The yearly dues are $3.00 and are applied as fol lows: SI.OO to the national head quarters. SI.OO to the state organ ization. SI.OO to the local order. With this each member receives the Farm Bureau paper. We have already received bene fits from the Bureau in our to bacco prices, from $3.00 to $5.00 per hundred pounds more than was received last year. This was demanded above the Georgia markets to take care of grading. There is a movement now by tthe big tobacco companies to do away with price control, also acreage. If this is done away with, then tobacco farmers can expect low prices. The farmers’ only salva tion is to organize as labor has done. So join the Farm Bureau at your earliest , convenience. You can join through any member. We are expecting at least one hundred colored members. All the stores a d businesses in Zebulon are urged to join Jo show the farm ers that they are working lor ’hem.
