They take a walk over tne lirown farmstead. Smith: "John, you've had pretty good' luck this year. Seems like all your crops were better n mine . . . and 1 worked just as 'hard as you aid." . 0 . .. :V , Biown: "Well, I reckon I have , been lucky. But mayue it .ain't al. luck. , iou see, I've ijcen . lotatiug soil-building crops with my cash crops.. That makes tlie soil richer, you know." Smith: "I reckon it "does.-'You didn t use to make any b.etter crops than I did. How did you get start ed on these soil-building crops any way ?" . - . Brown: "I'd been thinking about starting a good crop rotatkm, but somehow 1 just didn't get around to it. Then the government came along with this agricultural conser vation , program " Smith: "What'd that have to do with it?" . ' BroWn : "Under the program, they offered me payments for not plant ing . jtoo much land" to . cash crops and for' growing soil-building crop's and for doing other things to help the land." Smith: "Oh, you mean those pay ments helped you do what you had wanted to do, but couldn't. Can I get in that program too." Brown: "Sure. It's for all farm ers. You just go to the county; agent and tell him you want to sign up for 1938. He'll give you some papers to fill out." ."Then some members of the county committee will come to see you, and help you-work out a farming program like you need. They'll tell you how. much you can earn by doing what they recommend." ' . Smith: "I think I'll look into it. It sounds pretty good."

Miss Til ton had to go to Hollywood to make good in New York. After training in her home town St. Louis she sought a career in the film capital. Benny Goodman heard her there as one voice among many in a "swing chorus." He chose her at once as vocalist for his band, and after a trial tour, now has her singing in New York with one of radio's big time orchestras.

C, Dec. 8.-Tii-tf. principles of, '.wise conserva tion ; have been so veli-applied iii the Hsgah national game preserve near Asheviue, taat oihcials of the i - isg'ah lAitionai' xoiest," in charge oi ihe area, ae emianassed witn the possession of too1 many, rathei tftan too few (leer, in the 9u,UU0 acre tract. - V , For a number of seasons the for est service has conducted a sys tematic program of ? trapping of adult deer, rearing of fawns to maturity, tor transfer to other ref uges and public game hunts to re duce the deer herds in the area, said this year to , exceed 8,000 ani mals' During the. present winter season the forest guardians hope to entice at least 0U adult deer into special box traps and transfer them to other, game refuges in the eastern United States, needing deer for stocking purposes. Trapping of adult deer Has been a part of the regular deer reductio.ii program for a number of years. 'vIn early trapping campaigns' the deer were driven 'into large corrals by long lines of beaters who caught the animals and bulldogged them to the ground tying them for crat ing and shipment to their ultimate destination for liberation. This method was spectacular- but some times resulted in . injury and loss oi deer and occasional injury to .iien handling thenl. Through experimentation a new trap has been evolved which has eliminated all the undersirabie fac tors of the-, old method. The new trap is a crate of two compart ments " baited with apples, an ir resistible lure to deer. The deer enters the first compartment, noses the enticing apple and a gate closes the trap.1 The deer moves ahead into a smaller 'box and a second gate falls., and the animal is in a restricted box where it cannot struggle or injure itself. Foresters, watching the traps, then remove the crate containing the deer and it is shipped at once to another game refuge where the animal is released. By this method, deer are enticed to automatically enter tneir own shipping crates, without injury to themselves. Pisgah forest officials hope that at least 200 of them wiil be enticed into the novel traps during the winter season. Other methods used in herd reduction in the Pisgah preserve include the rearing of 100 motherless fawns each summer and public hunts which bag 500 to 700 deer, annually. Dean , Schaub said. Experience in dosion control demonstration areas in North Carolina,-however, show that fanners can do much to pro tect their fields by terracing them, farming on the contour so that each row is a little terrace, keep ing the land covered with close growing soil-holding and soil-building crops as much as possible, ro tating wops, planting, badly eroded fields and bad strips across good fields to close-growing soil-improving or hay crops, vegetating out lets to safely carry water from terraces, developing meadow strips to protect natural draws in the iield, contouring and improving pas tures, putting ibadly eroded land back to trees, and planting vegeta tion in gullies.

Crowell, ' who has been Jn charge oi organizing tins unit, has reported that more, than 2UU farm ers and business men in Cherokee, Clay and. L-ranam counties, Nortu Carolina, and Towns, Union and Fannin counties, Georgia have subscribed to stock. "1 believe," Mr. Crowell remark ed, "that this will e the biggest unit operated by the - Federation, which now maintains 15 ware houses in nine counties." lhosc who have subscribed to stock in the new unit are request ed to be prepared to make pay ments on their subscriptions at the meeting called for Saturday. Warehouse Jn Brevard The Federation is planning to establish a warehouse in Brevard and already has started organiza tion work ' among Transylvania county farmers. The Farmers Federation now op erates 15 warehouses in nine West ern Nnrth Carolina counties aim is preparing ' to establish another warehouse at Murphy to serve Cherokee and surrounding counties in North Carolina and Georgia. It also operates a cannery at Hender sonville, a home industries depart ment, two baby chick hatcheries, a forest products department and a number of sweet potato curing houses. It maintains a religious de partment, which has sponsored the Lord's Acre movement, and pub lishes a monthly magazine, the Farmers Federation News, devoted to mountain farming. Starting in 1920 with a few farm er members and a single, warehouse at Fairview siding, Buncomb coun ty, the federation has grown stead ily until it now has more than 3, 100 stockholders. Under . the fed eration plan "of organization, each common stockholder has one vote, the purpose being to keep the organization democratic and to in sure that its control shall 1 always rest in the hand of farmer mem' bers. ' While terracing and contour cul tivation is the foundation of any good erosion control program on most. North Carolina farms, " he pointed out that something needs to foe done to take care of the water at the end of the' terraces, and that farming methods need to be adopted that will check erosion between the terraces and put every acre on the farm to uses to which it is suited. ; Actual tests at the soil conserva tion, service experiment station at States vilk- si low--that tons of - rich topsoil wash out the ends of the best terraces that can be' built. where farming methods that check erosion between the terraces are not followed. As long as water runs down un protected slopes soil will go with it, "Marmalade is good for last, and it has its place scnool Lunch. But have you ever thought of it as a dessert ?" asks ornelia C. Morris, State college extension economist in food con servation. "Spread marmalade on hot, but tered pancakes, roll them up and dust with powdered sugar. "Marmalade .will help stretch the Christmas dollar. Small jars of mar malade, attractively wrapped, make good Christmas presents; they help out in planning Christmas melius." Marmalade is easy to make, Mrs. Morris stated. The best fruits to use are oranges, grapefruits, and lemons. Select fruits on which the skin is clear and free from blem ishes. One orange, one lemon, and one grapefruit will make enough marma lade to fill six 10-ounce jars. Cut fruit into very thin slices with a sharp knife. Resharpen knife frequently while slicing the fruit. Measure the sliced fruit, then add three times as much water. . One orange, one lemon, and one grapefruit will make about a quart of fruit. So add three quarts of water. Boil fruit and water for 30 min utes, or until fruit is tender. Let it stand over night, then boil again for 20 minutes. Measure the mix ture and add an equal amount of sugar. "Tften "cook "rapidly ti'ntil the syrup begins to jell when poured from the side of a spoon. Let the finished marmalade cool for a minute Or two, then pour it into the jars. (If poured in imme- diately, the fruit . will rise to the top.) Terraces Alone Can't Prevent Soil Erosion Terracing a farm is not the only thing that is needed to.; stop it from washing away and improve the soil, said I. O. Schaub, director of the agricultural extension ser vice of North Carolina State Col lege of Agriculture. y tt &&t&iri;r .
