It is nearly time to dig and
store gladiolus, unless you are
willing to leave the corms to the
untender mercies of the weather
and the moles. 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.

Farm Bureau
The next Farm Bureau meeting
will be Oct. 9th, at 8:00 p. m„ in
the Wakelon High School build

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. The names of those who
join will be published in the Zeb
ulon Record.

3. Military power alone does not
win wars. 4. Economic injustice
must go. 5. Power in the hands of
a few is wrong. 6. Religion is in
dispensable.
