Where can 1 get training | for Dairy Herd Improvement Association testing work? A. State College will conduct a course to train prospective ! testers August 29 to September , 10 at Raleigh. Your county agent can give you details . about the job opportunities j open to people with such train ing. Q. Ladybird beetles are show ing up in large numbers in my tobacco fields. What should I do about them? A. Offer thanks. These are beneficial insects in both the adult and larval stages, since they feed on aphids. Q. After treating with a "stick-can" applicator for bud worms, my tobacco showed some damage. How can I avoid this in the future? A. Be extremely careful to follow directions for using in secticides. State College recom mends six to 10 pounds per t acre of either 10 per cent DDT s dust or 10 per cent TDE dust. j 1 Many cases of injury have been r reported; most occurred where [ dusts were applied too heavily. Generally, Insecticides have giv- , en good control of budworms j this year. i This Week Is With Macon ' County Agents By MRS. MARGARET D. SMITH j (Assistant Agent) Have you ever tried to stretch , your freezing space? Pulling the j , sides of the freezer won't help. Neither will pulling your hair, but there are ways to "stretch" the freezer and the locker at the locker plant. We might look at it this way ? comparing time with space, "Everybody has 24 hours every day".. Some folks fill those hours with whatever comes along, frittering away time in between, while other folks pack each hour with good, solid liv ing. Look in your freezer, what do you see? Bones? Corn cobs? Round pies? Round cakes? Space wasting containers? Bulky wrapping materials? Whole turkeys? These things are all right if you are not inter ested in getting the most for your money space-wise. If you are, do these things. . Have all large bones taken out of meat. Bones do not give flavor to meat. Cut corn off cob. Bake pies and cakes in corn ered pans. Store only a few at a time. Select containers that use space efficiently. A bag in a carton, so that it stacks well, j and the canning tin can (even hough round ) are two best ipace- users. You may prefer to jse other containers for other ?easons, for there are other ;ood ones. Wrap packages of food neatly with just enough 'of the proper packaging material to do a good ob. Extra wrapping slows up reezing and does no good in storage. Except for the Thanksgiving ind Christmas turkeys, trim 1 neat off bones and stare in packages. It saves space. On freezing vegetables, gather n'hen the vegetables are not too young, or too old, but just right for eating fresh. Speed is the keynote. Get it into the freezer at home or at the locker plant as soon as you :an, but pause long enough to: scald, or "blanch" or "boil", but for quality sake do it. Follow directions and time table in Extension Bulletin No. 280, then chill in icy or cold water. That does not mean soak, but get the heat that you have just put In completely out. Then put it in a frozen food container. Temperature ? place contain ers where and how the manu facturers freezer book says. Store at zero degrees or below. When the temperature goes up or down above zero, the quality of the vegetable goe6 down and does not come back up. If you use the locket plant, plan so you make your trip to the plant as soon as the last container is sealed and labeled. Leave in the refrigerator while you take off your apron and put on your lipstick. Pack in ordinary groc ery cartons, one inside a larger one. Stuff with crumpled news papers. Get to the locker as fast as you can. If you have followed direc tions you should have good frozen vegetables to cook for your family. These vegetables will be second to none in the world. Bulletins on freezing are available at the home agent's office.
