-MUCH FOOD IS
PRODUCED BY
GARDENERS
Every counly in North Caro
lina has its boys -and girls j
growing 4-H gardens and the j
total number of gardens runs
into many thousands, which are !
conducted under the supervis- j
ion of the farm and home
agents of the State College Ex
tension Service and its horti
cultural specialists.
Rachel Sites, a member of the
Balls Creek Senior 4-H Club in
Catawba county, is only 14
years old but she presents
a good example of what so
many of her 4-H brothers and
sisters in gardening are doing.
This year Rachel won the
victory garden contest in Ca
tawba, sponsored by the Sears
Roebuck Foundation, and came
second in food preservation. She
produced 60 bushels of vege
tables, growing 11 different
types, with snap beans, lima
beans, and tomatoes leading.
Besides furnishing an abun
dance of fresh vegetables for
tpe family, Rachel canned 201
quarts of snap beans, lima
beans, beets, corn, garden peas,
and tomatoes.
Miss Sara Smith, assistant
home agent of the State Col
lege Extension Service for Ca
tawba, says that Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Sites, the parents of Rach
el, encouraged her in every way
possible in her gardening work
and points out that this is one
of the most important points in
conducting successful 4-H ac
tivities. i
Mrs. Sites is a member of the j
Balls Creek Home Demonstra
tion Club and is active in all
phases of its work.

Brooms washed in medium
soapy water, rinsed, and thor
oughly dried, will keep in good
condition and the wire will not
rust.
Are you getting your money's
worth in cleaning powder and
soap? Are you putting enough
soap in your washing machine
to get the clothes clean and
sparkling, but not more than
is needed? Home management
specialists say it takes about
two inches of standing suds to
get a load of clothes clean in
the washing machine. A bit of
experimenting with the mea
suring cup will show you how
much soap it takes to make two
inches of suds.
Every home laundress knows
that soap makes suds more
quickly if It is shaved, grated
or , pulverized. If your retail
store is out of soap flakes or
powders, you can make your
own from bars of laundry soap,
which is generally easier to find.
Be sure the soap is well dried,
cut it into pieces and run it
through the meat grinder. Let
it dry well, then pulverize. You |
may wish to use a grater or
slaw cutter to make flakes or
chips. This may also serve as
a thrifty way to use up small
left-over bits of bar soap.
The whipping quality of
cream depends on its age and
its "richness" or butterfat con
tent. Freshly separated cream
does not whip well. It needs to
stand and chill at least four
hours. The whipping quality im
proves if it stands 24 hours.
Cream sold by dairies for whip
ping will have sufficient aging
when delivered.
If cream is to be kept after
whipping, keep it in the coldest
part of the refrigerator.
How much cream to whip at
a time depends on the size of
the whipper. The usual small
household beater does the best
job with not more than a pint
of cream. If larger quantities
are to be whipped, time will be
saved by whipping in succes
sive batches.

Get Right Kind
Of Poultry Feed
Feed manufacturers make
poultry feed mixtures to give
certain definite results and
these feeds must be used ac
cordingly, says Prof. Roy S.
Dearstyne, head of the Poultry
Department at State College.
Recently some growers of ,
broilers have been using starter
and growing mash rather than
the specific mash for broiler
production. "The most econoin- i
ical gains and quick growth
cannot be obtained by this prac- !
tice," Prof. Dearstyne says. "The
starting and growing mashes
are t developed for the specific
purpose of carrying the birds
from chick s(ize up until they
reach sexual maturity.
"Broiler mashes are made to
give the rapid, intensive growth
expected in this class of birds.
While the feed situation is very
tight at the present time, still
broiler producers should make
every effort to get the right
kind of feed needed for their
birds.
"All small flock owners can
have supplemental grazing crops
for their pullets at this time
of year. Feed costs must be re
duced and one of the best ways
of doing this is through green
crops. As in providing grazing !
for dairy cows, beef animals,
workstock, and hogs, the graz
ing crop should be sown abiut
the last of August, with a rela
tively heavy seeding of grains
and legumes and plenty of fer
tilizer on real good land."
The champion 4-H dairy food
preparation team for 1945 in
North Carolina was composed
of Jean Hackney and Olenna
Duncan of Chatham county.
