Blister Rust Campaign
Making Progress
With the, close of the fall season
the white pine blister rust control
project is concentrating on map
ping white pine stands in Macon
county and will continue this work
during the winter months until all
white pine in the county will have
been mapped.
To date 16,000 acres of pine have
been mapped and some 30,000 acres
of land have been cleared of cur
rant and gooseberry bushes to
protect this pine.
All currant and gooseberry bushes
within 1,000 feet of any white pine
are potential carriers of the pine
blister rust which is now bordering
on this state. In order to prevent
the disease from damaging North
Carolina's white pines it is neces
sary to locate and destroy the dis
ease carriers. This work must be

It Isn't Christmas
Without Fruit Cake
A good fruit cake adds the fin
ishing touches to the holiday sea
son, said Ruth Current, state home
demonstration agent at State col
lege. , After dining on turkey and other
good things to eat, she continued,
a toothsome slice of fruit cake "is
the very thing to top off the meal."
In the olden days, she went on,
baking was a ritual during the
Thanksgiving - Christmas season
and today many a good housewife
still feels the urge to bake at this
time.
Lucky is the farm housewife,
Miss Current stated, for she has
right at hand most of the ingredi
ents for a fruit cake: butter, eggs,
nuts, dried fruits.
The sooner the Christmas fruit
cake is baked, the better it will
be,' she pointed out, for the cake
mellows and becomes more delicious
with age.
"Here is a recipe so chock full
of good things it is guaranteed to
