No. 1 the grounds of the home gives greater and more lasting pleasure than a new hat ? and that's ? considerable statement. From the first tiny crocus In spring to the last chrysanthemum or cal endula, flowers can be a source of constant wonder and delight to anybody who really wants to grow them. Work? Of course, some, but it becomes a labor of love because of the happiness it gives to the grower ad to others. Flowers to sedn to the church, to sick frieds. for weddings and for corsages for special occasions give the grower and to others. Flowers to send to the church, to sick friends, project worth doing, growing flowers and shrubs requires a plan, much Information and ad vice, as well as work. Garden encyclopedia, extension bulletins, and current magazines provide excellent sources of information, and our local extension agents are as close as the telephone with the latest recommendations from the experts. Even to the experienced flower ana shrub grower, there is always some thing new to learn. More Reasons There is more than one reason for making home beautification a "do-it-yourself" project. First, a lot of the satisfaction would be lost if you only "look" and "supervise" and haven't had your own hand in the soil to help produce the gratifying results. Secondly, wouldn't it be a horri ble thing to find a pride-and-joy plant cut down by an inexper ienced worker! Anybody can learn. Anybody can win prizes for flower and shrub growing and arrangement at the Macon Coun ty Fair. Some of the easiest to grow flowers and shrubs have won blue ribbons.

' "Everything for the Home" Fhone (7 Franklin men of an ordinary plant or an artistic arrangement is just as valuable in a judge's eye as the most unusual plant in the flower section of the fair. Boot Be Shy Last year's fair had a number of entries in the flower division, but not nearly as many as might have been or that oan be next year. Don't hesitate to take the plants you have grown because you are afraid they might be outclassed. The judges may not see it that way. and blue ribbons may be won just as easily by Mrs. Macon County Homemaker and Mrs. Somebody Oreenthumb. Speaking of green thumbs. If you think that green thumb stuff is really necessary, have a look at the thumb of the next person you see who has made her home beautiful with flowers, lawn, and shrubs. Won't you be surprised to find it's just the same color as yours! All that is necessary Is to try. The troubles, expense, and failures are more than offset by the pleasures. There Is another compensation to flower growing, shrub growing, and home beautlfication. That is that money may be made while the enjoyment is being had: cash prizes at the fair, selling cut flowers on the curb market, in creasing the value of your prop erty and attracting tourists to our county. Who could ask for any more? Let's get busy. Macon County women! Mrs. I. T. Peek (Frankiln Club) No. 2 thinks of some family whose house has burned, or she thinks of a family who has sickness. The pounding" for the preacher is still in stlyle in the mountains Let us keep it so! Many a woman puts up a jar with her eye on the fair. Highest Quality At the local fair in 1955 I re call one of the judges saying. ! This exhibit of canned food is of the highest quality". Another judge suggested that all jars with the two-piece tops keep the ring* on for the exhibit. This makes a prettier display. Btfore we spend too much time on the fair, let us remember to plan a large variety of foodi Just because there may be a good season for beans, do not fill all the jars with beans. Remember the basic seven guide for eating calls for yellow vegetables, leafy green vegetables, as turnip greens and fruits. It is with great pride that a ?hows her neighbors her well-filled pantry shelves. When unexpected company comes, a complete meal can be prepared in a short time. We call this the emergency shelf. Why not plan your emergency meal in advance selves*"1 thOSe Jars off by 'hem New Way Of Life TTie coming of the home freez er has supplemented the canning Plan, but will never entirely re Place canning. We call this freez ?,K' ? Living the Frozen Poods Way and it is a new way of life. By freezing, some food value can be sav#d that may be lost in canning. We learned that vita min C is .saved when strawberries are frozen, but when the straw berries are made into preserves it is partially destroyed by heat. The N. C. State College food conservation specialist, Miss Iola Pritchard, gives us these facts to consider. "Statistics show farm families in N. C. spend annually about $275 million for food ? much of which could be produced and conserved at home. Families that produce and conserve their food supply are better fed than those who do not. Per capita farm income in N. c. is still near the bottom in the nation". If Miss Pritchard reminds as about income being low. we can resolve to stretch that food dol lar with a greater canned and frozen supply for next year. Do you have the latest publica tions from N. C. State College to help you with your canning and freezing? if not, you can get them from your home demonstra tion agents office. Mrs. Glen Hastings <Union Club) U. S. farm population is now 13 per cent of the total. The Naval Research Laboratory has developed a new television No. 2 machines, freezers, television sets, etc. Theee are all expen sive. By growing all the vege tables and fruits we possibly can, we will cut down on the cost of groceries. Grow Some Extra While a lot of us can only grow a garden to supply our own needs, there are still a lot of us who can grow some ex tra to sell. Some can sell at the curb market each week, some at roadside stands, and others at the stores and other places. We can always find a ready market for any surplus of high quality fruits and veg etables we produce, especially to our. summer tourists. When they find where they can buy fresh high quality vegetables, they will patronize that place. Com Is one vegetable that loses flavor rapidly after being gath ered. We have found that people will buy It where they find It fresh. Outside Markets If we will grow enough and a variety of high quality vege tables, we will draw outside markets, such as Gerbers, which Is now building a big plant near Asheville. A plant like that will insure a market for what we grow. Our tourists are another good bet as there will be more each year building and buying homes here. We need to capi talize on what we have around us. Of course, all this requires work; but what doesn't? As long as we plan to make our living off the farm, we are going to need to diversify. It takes grow ing more than one crop to live on the farm. Mrs. T. T.
