But* ColUgi Hint# To Farm Hoimmtktrl Wise Wast*? 1949 Resolution: To throw away sometimes li thriftier than to save, house hold management specialists say. They explain that some articles, likely to accumulate around the house, are accident hazards which should be dis carded promptly. Any chi.oped or cracked glass ware whether tumbler, cann ing jar, cooking or serving dish should be retired from .use to prevent cuts as well as poss ible waste of food. Chipped enamelware also should go out i of the kitchen service because it may leave tiny glasslike par ticles in food prepared or cooked in It. Once china or pottery is cracked or chipped, it oan not be kept sanitary by ordinary dish' washing. A cracked cup, therefore, is a health hazard as well as an accident hazard. Tipsy pots and pans have caused many a serious hum. Cooking utensils should stand steady on the stove. Home medicine ctbinets are inclined to fill up. Old pills prescriptions and remedies are a nuisance and are dangerous to have around. They should never be saved for future use except on specific instructions from the physician. Some lrugs de teriorate with age. Other items which may wlsly go out are toys with sharp edges or any loose parts which a child can get into his mouth. Tiny toys also have proved dangerous for young children. If the toy cannot be fixed for safety, it pays to throw it away. Finally, be sure not to throw items dn trash heaps or into open containers where children con find them. 32 Breeding Co-ops Formed In Past Year) Thirty-two cooperative asso ciation for artificial breeding of dairy cattle were formed in North Carolina during 1948, bringing the total number of associations in the State to 35. according to John F. Brown, dairy specialist for the State College Extension Service. Prior to 1947, there was only one associations in the State, operating in Forsyth County. Yadkin and Davie Counties formed associations which began operation in the fall of 1947. Mr. Brown said the 35 asso ciations now in operation cover more than 40 counties and have a membership in excess of 5,000 farmers. North Carolina, he added, .now ranks right up among the large dairy states in the total number of associations in operation. The last two counties to or ganize under the program were Wake and Wayne, which formed associations late in the year.
