Strip-Cropping Aids In Erosion Control Strip-cropping makes a pretty design on the landscape. At the same time it is one of the most effective means of controlling soil erosion and building , up the fer tility of the soil. Hundreds of fields in the Pied mont and mountain regions of North Carolina' are. planted to strips of close-growing crops, such as small grain, alternating with idle strips which are to be planted in row crops this spring, reports the State College extension service. Strip-cropping reduces run-off and erosion, increases rain pen etration, simplifies the rotation system and in many cases elimi nates the heed for terracing gently sloping lands. As the rain water runs off the row-cropped strip into the strip of close-growing crop, it is filtered and deposits its soil in the thick vegetation, thus gullies are not al lowed to form, A. A. Cone, project manager of the soil conservation service in Mecklenburg county said. Water here in the dense Cover crop strip penetrates into the soil, Cone pointed out. . Point rows can be eliminated by growing the row crops on strips of even' : width while the thick growing crops occupy the uneven strips. To -be most effective strips should be laid out on the, contour, Cone said. gets out of de water, he won't do nothin'. ,D.at Meth'dis'-mule,. all he. do is ter holler an holler, an' den he don't do nothin'.

"Well, suh, it's dis way: dat Bab tis' mule he jes' like togit in de creek an' wade 'roun', but when he Strong-Arm Methods Make Tough Biscuits How much the cook kneads the dough may determine the char acter of baking-powder biscuits. The least possible handling just enough stirring to moisten the in gredients and then dropping the daugh on a baking sheet produced tender, crisp biscuits, uneven in Shape. The same dough spread on a board, cut and baked, produced even,' crusty, flat biscuits. Dough which received 15 to 18 strokes of kneading gave tall, light, flaky, tender biscuits. But too much kneading produced tough,; flat, rln.p-orrainid biscuits ihecause the - ' . gluten in the flour was developed to the point of toughness ' and some of the leavening was lost. These four different types pf biscuits were made from the stand ard receipt which calls for 3 cups of sifted flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 6 table spoons fat, and 1 cup of milk; or enough to make a soft dough, and baking in an oven registering 450 These are some of the findings reported - by the bureau of home economics as a result of recent studies in making quick breads. Biscuits made with, the same in gredients and baked in the same oven may vary widely if the dough has different handling. . This study also showed that fold ing and rolling - the dough several times produced flakier biscuits than kneading it on the board, and that the less flour added to the dough on the rolling board, the 'better. ; Many : Unmarried Colleens The Irish Free State has many spinsers; Uf . tne colleens 25 and 30 62 per cent are single (23 per cent in the United Statesj. 21 JJ. ii4 I LaI -O H Q o 2 1st.
