Holiday Records: To make
next Christmas easier, save and
iile away this year's list of gifts,
and add to it any ideas you may
want to remember, suggest ex
tension specialists in the U S.
Department of Agriculture. For
example, keep a record of any
magazine subscription sent this
year and tile date when they
expired. Jot down ideas for
homemade gifts that may be
useful next year, and keep a
record of types of wrappings
or seals which you found espe
cially useful or attractive this
year. Before putting away
Christmas cards, bring vour .id
dress book up to date with new
or changed addresses.

FIRST AID KIT
SEED AS NEED
ON EVERY FARM
State College Authority
Says Homemade Affair
Is Satisfactory
Every North Carolina farmer
owes it to himself to provide
adequate first aid materials and
facilities for the treatment 01
minor injuries occurring on the
larm and in the home, that
may save a life or prevent ser
ious infection, says Prof. David
S. Weaver head of the Agricul
tural engineering Department,
State college
Prof Weaver suggests that a
homemade first aid kit con
taining the essential medica
tions and drugs may serve just
as well as the more costly
( prepared first aid kits. A tight
j box, preferably of metal and
similiar to a small cash box or
j fishing tackle box, will serve
as a suitable container for ihe
kit.
Minimum requirements for
the kit are: Rolls of adhesive
tape of varying widths; sterile
cotton, swabs and sticks; ster
ile white cloth for large ban
dages and tourniquets; match
es;ointment for burns; tincture
of iodine; boric acid; tincture
of merthiolate; tincture of ben
zion; liquid green soap; and
rubbing alcohol.
The following specific sug
gestions for treatment are giv
en:
For bruises and scratches and
after removal of splinters, ap
ply an antiseptic, then a ster
ile bandage.
For puncture wounds ? deep
slivers or nail punctures ? ap
ply tincture of merthiolate,
bandage wound and go to a
doctor.
For small cuts ? cleanse skin

Many a new year's landscape
is blemished by old Christmas
trees dumped forlornly in back
yards. Foresters of the U. S. D
A. suggest that a few minutes'
work with a sharp hatchet can
convert the old tree to a neat
bundle of kindling for winter
hearth fires. Or, the tree can
be set into the ground outdoors
as a winter shelter and feeding
center for birds. Birds will en
joy bits of suet, rai.sens and
bread crusts attached to the
branches and will repay the
kindness next spring by help
ing to destroy insect pests and
weed seeds around the grounds
.and gardens.
Oranges and grapefruit are
the buys in fresh fruits this
winter. Prices of both are lower
than in many years, according
to U. S. D A. marketing spe
cialists. Both the orange and
grapefruit crops for the 1946-47
season promise to be the largest
on record. The orange crop is
20 per cent larger than last
year and 53 per cent above ave
rage, while the grapefruit crop
is 6 per cent larger than last
year's big crop and 69 per cent
above average.
