PAGE TWO THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1937 Proper Foods Will Cure And Prevent Pellagra RALEIGH, August 25. No med ical treatment, no serums, only the right kind of foods in sufficient amounts, are necessary for the pre ention and cure of pellagra, which , is purely a dietary disease as was pointed out here by I Jr. Koy Nor ton, assistant director of the divi . sion of preventive medicine, state board of health. "There, are foods that , cure pellagra," he said, "foods that are 'good' for it, others that are 'fair' while some have little or no effect." Others he described as 'poor. lie also gave some rules for the prevention of this ailment. Foods that cure pellagra, accord ing to Dr. Norton include: powder ed yeast, green vegetables the greener the 'better eggs, lean meat and liver, fresh milk, wheat germ, and canned salmon. In the group of foods "good" for pellagra Dr. Norton placed : rabbit meat, lean pork shoulder, canned chicken, sweet milk, buttermilk, lean beef (fresh or corned), pork, mutton, fish, fowl, pork liver, powdered yeast bakers' dried and brewers' eggs, tomato juice, peanut meal, canned salmon, canned kale, can ned collards, canned green peas, canned turnip greens, , liver extract and wheat germ. Among the "fair" foods he classi- M,. mm- . it W --J HV. SO.m as plants appear above ground. Transplant to field 6 to 8 weeks later.

Wood ashes or hydrated lime broadcast over the soil a month be fore plants are transplanted wili aid in maturing the celery. Sugar corn should be planted early in August excGpt in sections fied : evaporated peaches and can ned haddock, while the following he described as "poor": cotton seed meal, canned lettuce, and canned green onions. The foods having "little or , no I where frost is delayed.

It should be used with early hatched -S'0 tension service arc urged to start P"ets to prevent a partial or com planting their gardens as soon as possible. The first step recommended by extension specialists is that of pre paring the soil and supplying it with plenty of stable manure or other organic matter. Among the vegetables that may be planted in August are: Broccoli, mustard, Swiss chard, endive, let tuce, cauliflower, cabbage, turnips, plete molt ; with late hatched pul lets to hasten production in the fall; with laying hens to keep up production until October, and with breeding hens to hasten production in January. Three pounds of the regular laying mash moistened with hot water or milk for each 100 birds will give excellent results This should be fed about two o'clock in the afternoon. Q. Is there any fertilizing value Pine Beetles Ravage ,". Many Valuable Trees Southern pine beetles have been ravaging valuable pine trees over North Carolina this summer, ac cording to Rufus II. Page, Jr., as sistant extension forester at State college. Beetles are. most often found .where pine debris has been left on the ground to give them a breeding place, he stated. To breed in sufficient numbers to successfully attack and enter healthy trees, the beetles must first enter deseased or damaged trees or freshly cut pine 'stumps or pine debris. Delaying pine cutting until the middle of September will check beetle attacks, Page continued. But if pines arc being cut before that time, a number of precautions can be exercised to protect the living trees. Remove all the trunk and limbs of felled pines that arc more than two inches in diameter. Lop small er limbs and brush and scatter well so they will be exposed to wind and sunshine. Peel all high, freshly cut pine i stumps to ground level and burn or otherwise remove bark from the stand. Clear away pines that display a yellwish-green foliage and around whose base is found reddish sawdust-like material. "S-shaped"" gal leries in the inner bark arc a sure sign of pine beetles. Remove from the stand all trees that are badly diseased, damaged, or otherwise weakened. Many in festations start 4rom a single weakened tree. ' . Cooperation among land-owners is necessary, as little good can be accomplished by cleaning one area if timber in adjacent areas serves as a source of infestation, Page warned. PULP WOOD WORNING The growing demand for pulp wood is inducing some farmers to destroy their woodlands in an ef fort to sell as much pulp timber as they can, The Progressive Farmer warns its readers. In an article in that magazine R. W. GraeTier, ex tension forester, urges farmers to sell only inferior, overcrowded trees for lumber and other more valuable purposes. mi mm a I III 11111 Mother-think of it!

Funeral Benefit Insurance costs so little that no one should do without it, especially those who are dependent on moderate incomes. The rates are far lower than you might ex pect. These rates are based on the death rate within our own organization, a mutual body governed by the laws of North Carolina. In this association the following assessments are now in effect: Ages 1 to 9 years ......... .. 5 Quarterly Ages 9 to 29 years 10 Quarterly Ages 30 to 49 years ............ 20 Quarterly Ages 50 to 65 years 30 Quarterly Benefits are provided in the amount of $100 for persons over 10 years of age and in the amount of $50 for per sons under 10 years of age. In slightly more than a year that this associa tion has been in, operation we have reached a membership of more than 6,000, and during this time we have paid our members over $2,000. Our finances are in excellent shape and with your co-operation we will continue to make this a strong ?ssociation. ' .

Mixed Apples Impart Tang to Sweet Cider The spicy, aromatic flavor and tang of sweet cider depends upon the varities of apples from which the juice is pressed. H. K. Niswongcr, extension hor ticulturist at State ' college, has recommended the following combi nation for making appetizing, zest- ful cider: Sixty per cent 'sweet apples arid a sub-acid variety like Rome beauty; 15 per cent acid varieties like fed winesap, Stayman, York imperial; 10 per cent of delicious, golden delicious, or Bonum, which impart aromatic flavor; 5 per cent crab apple or seedling varieties to give tang; and 10. per cent Ben Davis, black Ben, Wolf river, limb-ertwig. Although cull apples can be used for making cider, Niswonccr point ed out, they, should be free from worms and rot and ripened on the trees. Early windfalls not yet ripe and over-ripe apples should hot be mix ed with those ripened on the trees. I Jo not leav e apples piled on the ground for any appreciable lenirth of time. All fruit should be washed thoroughly. The press and nrrss cloths should be washed clean after each day's run. Place the cloths in boiling water for a short time. After standing a few hours, the pomace may .be pressed aeain. The second run of juice has a deenpr color than the first, and may be added to the other cider to give it the rich color preferred by consum ers. Clear cider mav be , obtained bv placing the juice in containers and allowing the sediment to settle. then siphoning off the clear juice. II I " " I- .
