How may a strawberry barrel be constructed at home"' A. An open-erided, 50-gallor. wooden barrel may be usect Holes 3 to 4 inches in diameter should be made in the barrel at intervals of about 12 inches. Mix about a half-gallon of garden fertilizer with sufficient loamy soil to fill the barrel. Run a perforated pipe longway through the center of the soil to permit watering of plants which will be set in the barrel holes. Q. Is window glass now avail able? A. Local hardware dealers now have good window glass? to cut to measure ? in fairly good quan tity. No special tools are requir ed to replace broken panes and a nickle's worth of putty is usually sufficient to do the aver age mending job. Be sure to measure windows in which panes are to be replaced before at tempting a purchase of glass. Q. When and where will thi North Carolina Hereford Breed ers Association hold its show and sale this year? A. The association show will begin at the Iredell county fair grounds (Statesvillei on March 18 and the sale will be con ducted the following day. Q. May North Carolina fa um ers expect relief through corn shipments from the Middle out complete understanding from their parents and leaders, Miss Scott pointed out. There are 25 or more diflerent pro jects that 4-H members can carry out. The club members who have the best projects and records in the county, in each of the project fields, are entitled to j enter state contests, from which state winners are sent to the National Club congress in Chi cago for further recognition. In past years, several Macon Coun ty club members have won this i distinction. The people or Ma con County should be proud to have a Macon County boy or girl enter a state or national contest, Miss Scott remarked, adding that whether or not they do this may depend on the support that is given tilt 4-H club through the year. In addition to individual pro jects 4-H clubs carry out com munity projects. At present the Higdonville club, for example, is sponsoring a demonstration farm area watershed program in cooperation with N. C. Ex- 1 tension service and T. V. A. in that community. Not all of the 4-H club ac tivity consists of work. Farm 1 boys and girls also need recre ation. Only recently a tract of land has been purchased ad joining the State Test farm at Waynesville, which will be used as a site for a 4-H club camp for the counties of Western North Carolina. Some donations have already been made for buildings on this site, but each Western North Carolina county will be expected to build a 4-H cabin, to cost $700. The Macon County 4-H council, consisting of officers of , each club and the 4-H leaders, will plan ways to raise this money? and again they will need the support of their county, Miss Scott said. If any person or persons are interested in helping with the camp, the county agent has the tentative plan and cost of the camp buildings. Some buildings maty be named for individuals who donate funds for a partic ular building. EXTRA TASTY BREAD! BECAUSE IT'S FULL-STRENGTH ? this active fresh Yeast goes right to work.

Patience and cooperative spirit among family members. By all means use a water softener on wash day if tiu wat?r is hard. The success o? lailure of laundering is laigely governed by the quality of tin water used. What effect has water hard ness on clothes? Wash-day gray i ess may result. More soap is lequired. also, bo! ten hard wat er before soap is added, thereby preventing the formation of lime soap curds, which are in soluble. How may water be softened? There are many good, inexpen sive packaged water softening compounds on the market. Two types are generally available ? those that cause cloudiness and precipitate in' the water and those that leave the water clear. Non-precipitating soften ers will give the best washing results. If you will use the right amount of soap ? measuring and not just dumping ? it will save soap and will make rinsing eas ier for you. Experience will help you to determine the amount that suits your need. Rich Man, Poor Man; W nich Will You Be? T. J. W. Broom, Union Couhty agent, has concluded from in terviews with larmers w'ho pass through his office en route to conferences with draft boards, that the economic standing of the average rural fellow is mea sured directly by individual ini tiative. ? Here's what Broom has to say on the subject: "This week two farmers were in. my office at the same time, both en route to selective serv ice boards. Each man was 56 years old. The first had a wilej two daughters, 14 and 16 years old, and a son, 18. His farming report was as follows: 20 acres of cotton in 1945, yield, 10 bales; 10 acres of corn, yield, 50 bu shels; no wheat, no oats, no mixed grain, no lespedeza, no other hay crops; half an acre Irish and sweet potatoes, hall an acre of garden; two cows, one hog. 25 hens. "The other man, a widower, said that his family consisted of his 18 year-old son and his sister, who was keeping house for them. His farming, report follows: lour acres of cotton, five bales harvested, the re mainder plowed under in order (that wheat might be harvested: i 15 acres of corn yielded 600 j bushels; five acres of wheat yielded 96 bushels; 50 acres oi" | oats yielded 1,950 bushels: 12. acres of mixed grain yielded 380 bushels; 70 acres of lespedeza returned 40 tons o'f hay and 4. ! 000 pounds of seed, some of the \ crop being plowed under for soil | improvement; one acre of po tatoes and one acre of garden; 10 milk cows, 17 other cattle, four hogs, 25 laying hens and sufticient broilers for home use. "The first man said that if his boy were inducted into the army, he simply could not make a living'; the second fellow said that if his boy should be call ed. he would be forced to sell his cows but that he would still make a good living.'' West for feeding hogs? A. Very little if any Mid -West corn is expected to reach this state this year because, while there has been some reduction in the number of sows for spring pigs in the corn belt, Hit reduction will not be sufficient to match lower feed supplies. Q. What may the average farmer expect to be the result of Agriculture Secretary Ander son's plan to revise production goals this year? * A. Since it has already been arranged to request acreage in creases for special crops in areas particularly adapted t) the growing of such crops, the plan is not expected to mate rially affect the overall farm plan in this state. State PMA Director Tom Scott predicts that North Carolina (jan easily meet its added goal of 46,000 acres of soybeans. Q. Has a definite decrease been established for burley to bacco acreage this year? A. Yes. A ten per cent acre age decrease has been confirm ed for the burley crop.
