Cooling Drinks
For Hot Dayi
Raieiah. N C.?"Fruit 'Juices' and
punches are especially useful durtn?
the hot summer months not only for
\helr coolln? properties but. for their
vitamin and mineral content qs well,"
states Miss Mar,- E. Thomas nutri
tion specialist at State College
? "The Juices, however, "should never
be ."weetened too much. Leave the
natural flavor of the fruit and add
sugar or sugar syrup until sweetened
to taste'; The susar syrup may be
made by boiling. one Cup of sugar in
one-half cup water for ten min
utes When the syrup is don* put In
a Jar or bottle and keep In the 'ice
box until needed
Miss Thoma* states that lemons are
an absolutei- necessity for all, fruit
punches as they furnish the tartness,
not supplied by the fruits. A com
bination of lemon, orange and pine
apple Juices may be used as a basis
for manv drinks. To one cup of these
Juices add one cup of the prepared
fruit Juice such as grape, cherrv or
strawberry This should be diluted
with water to make four or Ave cups
.of punch and garnished with a slice'
of fruit or mint. If thfc fruit Juices'
have been sweetened, add Just enough
syrup to Sweeten to taste without
losing thfc.' fruit flavor.
Tp color the punch or drink with
out the use of artificial. coloring.
Juices from red or "black raspberries
or strawberries may be. used. This
gives the ',"nipk lemonade" color so
popular with, children.
"For a more peppy drink ginger ale
may be used or charged water niav

BUICK'S NEW POWER PLANT
HERE IS A SIDE VIEW OF THE 91 HORSE-POWER MOTOR IN THE SILVER ANNIVERSARY BlICK
showing new fuel pump, carburation and manifold system
Increase in horsepower with out a
consequent increase in f Uel consump
tion? . .v.
That was the problem Butck Motor
Company engineers faced in develop
ment,of the Stiver Anniversary Buick.
which has proved a sensation since its
initial presentation
?How well this problem wrfs solved
has been demonsr rated to trie thous
ands; who 'purchased the luxurious
new-cars in the: first few days after
tfieir announcement. For Suick's
six-cylinder valve?4n'-?head engine is
almost one-fifth. more, powerful than
heretofore and the entire chassis has
'undergone commensurate enlargement
This" pcrwer increase, according to
E A ? D e Waters. chief engineer, has
been accomplished through an H per
cent' fnareas^ in .the piston displace
?mertt of the larger engine and an in
trease of 12 |)er pent in .the smaller.
But changes In the carburetor and
manifold system, redesigning of the
camshalt and provision of a new
muffler, in which back pressure is re
duced to a minimum, have kept fuel
consumption virtually unchanged. De
; Waters pointed out.
? ' ' ' !
Marked improvement in the auto- i
ma tie heat control unit built Into the
I fuel intake 'system?was cited by the i
i engineering chlefc' . , ? .
j- "liiis device, which i? exclusively
Bulcks is responsible, for. tile fluick i
? start In the coldest weather," : De
Waters declared .
i "The' butterfly valve which controls ?
'he flow of heat from, the exhaust
manifold toward -tiip carburetor and'
J intake' ildw is made of a .special heat
resisting metal, and Irs shift is' of a
larger ciramcter to prevent bendlhg at ,
1 'extreme heat under tlie pull. c't its ?
spring. * 3
"To insure adequate fuel supply at
the higher speeds for which the new
engine is designed, two high speed
jets are built into, the carburetor in
stead of one The vapuUm tank has
been eliminated, and the mechanical
fuel pump, with which Bulck has
been experimenting successfully for
many months, has been substituted.
ThU feature completely' does away
forever with fuel failure under heavy
engine loads? such as prolonged hisrh
speed or Tsteep ^Tades sometimes im
pose: ;
h' ' ' v*TLi .
"Thus, through these vraious' new
features, the horsepower iii,the smaller
wfreelbase models has been ifipreas?d
from 63 to 74;'and ih the Imagercars

Small Grain Varieties
Best Suited To State
Raleigh. N. Q.?North Carolina's
new- farming system calls for the
lands to be occupied in winter as'
well as. aimmsr and the small grato
grower i- now making' his plans, lor
the. fall planting.
In tests conducted toy the agronomy
workers of State College on the Pied
mont Branch Station farm near
B'tatesvllle. it has been found that
j he Fulcaster. a bearded variety of
Wheat, and Gleason a smooth variety,
has yiverf-the best yields for a per
iod of over five years. Both, of these
two varieties are rust-resistant and.
are well suited for Ranting over the
entire pledomnt section
The tests also show that it Is best
to sow the wheat as near November
first as possible. The variation from
from this date should be towards
October L5, Wheat planted around
November ftrst has made the best
"yields in tests conducted since 1922.
From four, to six pecks of seed grain
per acre has given the best returns.
The station workers reemmend five*
pecks of seed #s a good compromise
The best barley Varieties are the
Tennessee Number-6 and the old'
Hooded variety which has been grown
for years in the State. In fact, the
Tennessee 6 is only a strain of. the
Hooded. The Hooded is about . ten
days earlier than the Tennessee strain
but is mixed with^common barley in
the amount of 10 percent" In tests
made at Statesville. sinctf- 1923. the
Hooded hat yielded an average of
431 bushels per acre While the Ten
nessee has. yielded _ an average of f*-3 -
bujhels of grain per acre .
With. rye. the but variety 4s the
Abruzzi.- This gives better .yields per
acre stands up under cold weather,
makes better growth and is tvell
adapted to both the piedmont . and c.
the coastal plain seStions. However,
the agronomy workers advise grower?
to be sure of the source of their seed
and get only the pure variety.
