He was last seen about 10 o'clock Saturday night, the report at that time indicating the man was not drunk. Said to drink freely at times, the man is thought by some to have gotten drunk, fallen into the ditch and, unable to get out, death fol lowed from exposure and freezing However, it was explained that the man could have died from other causes.

FINCH, Home Service Director Virginia Electric And Power Company CUSTARD PIE When a custard pie is baked per fectly, the filling resembles a fruit jelly in that it is tender and quivery. It does not "water" on standing, and is perfectly smooth, yet firm. The surface is an even golden brown. In order to prevent having a soggy crust it is necessary to bake the pie first at a high temperature (425 de grees F. for 20 minutes) to set the c?-ust rim and start the baking of the lcwer crust before filling soaks in. However, if the high temperature is used throughout the baking per iod, the custard will curdle and be tough, a lower temperature, 325 or 350 degrees F. for about 30 minutes is always used in the second period of baking a custard pie to insure a smooth filling. Egg yolks may be use^l in place of whole eggs, allowing two yolks for one whole egg This will make a custard richer in flavor 'and color. The pastry crust for a custard pie snculd fit loosely in the pan so that no air bubbles remain under the crust; otherwise it will shrink and blister, allowing the filling to escape into the pan. Other ways in which to prevent a soggy crust may be tried. One is to brush the unbaked pastry shell with unbeaten egg white and bake 5 min utes in hot oven before adding un cooked filling. Another is to par tially bake the crust in a hot oven (a minutes at 450 to 475 degrees F.). Then have the custard filling at scalding point but not thickened when poured irito crust. Follow di rections for baking. A crust for a custard pie may be cooked separate ly while the custard is being cooked on top of range. The last test for the "doneness" of the pie is-to insert a knife in cen t< r of custard. If it comes out clean, it is done. Cool on wire rack, but never chill. It is best served the same day it is baked. Cold Snap Freezes Judge Clayton Moore's Teeth * ? Judge Clayton Moore, upon rising this morning, did not have to con sult a thermometer or anybody to find out the weather was cold and plenty cold, for he found his teeth just newly acquired, frozen solid. His teeth were held fast in a glass of water, the reports have it. How ever, the judge thawed out his teeth in short order to open the superior court here on time this morning.

URGE TRUCKERS TO GET FEDERAL PERMIT AT ONCEj Common Carriers To Apply] For License by February Or Quit Business Raleigh.?All motor truck opera tors in North Carolina who are clas sified as common carriers and thus hauling freight or other commodi ties for a charge, are urged to se cure application blanks at once in order to secure their certificates and permits from the Federal govern men before February 12, which is the deadline after which no truck owners may secure these permits, according to word from the Inter state Commerce Commission in | Washington. No charge whatever is made for their applications and certificates, but any motor carrier who has not filled out his application by Feb ruary 12, will lose ther ight to oper ate and thus be forced to discontinue his busines, it was pointed out. Application blanks may be ob tained either from the motor car rier division of the State Utilities Commission in Raleigh, from the North Carolina Truck Owners As sociation with office in Raleigh, or from the Interstate Commerce Com mission Bureau of Motor Carriers, Washington, D. C. In order to assist the various mo- J toi carriers in filling out their ap plications and to better explain the new Federal law which requires all such carriers to register with the ICC in Washington, it will send a special representative to the State. # Balanced Farming Is More Important Now Than In Years | Abolition of the AAA Has| Itensified Importance of Balanced Farming The abolition of the AAA has in tensified the importance of a well balanced farming schedule on every North Carolina farm. The wide-awake farmer will raise at home the food and feed crops needed to supply his family and his lTvestock, said Professor C. B. Wil liams, head of the State College ag ronomy department. He will also devote a great deal of his land to soil improvement and erosion-control crops, Professor Wil iams added. Taking into consideration the un certainty of prices which farmers may get for their cash crops this year, he continued, it would be most unwise to specialize in the produc tion of cash crops, with the expecta tion of buying large quantities of food, feed and fertilizer. A general increase in the produc tion of cash crops will no doubt lower the price - to such an extent that farmers' cash income this year will be rather limited, the professor declared. In view of this, it is essential that the farmers plan every way pos sible to reach a state of self-suf ficiency, he added, so as to reduce to a minimum the things they will have to buy with their limited cash income. Every farm should have a year round home garden with a large va riety of vegetables. There should be enough grain, hay and pasturage to supply all the livestock with a bulanced ration. Soil-improving crops like cow peas, soybeans, velvet beans, and lespedeza, plowed under at maturity, will build up the land and at the same time reduce the amount of fer tilizer needed. First plan for the food, feed and soil-building crops, Professor Wil liams, urged, then more or less as a side line, arrange for the produc tion of some cash crops.

Open Bids Today on County Road Work Bids are being opened by the highway commission in Raleigh to day for the widening of Academy Street in Robersonville and the paving of the toad from that town through Gold Point to connect with Highway 125, near Spring Green. It was thought at one time that the projects would be delayed on account of the limited number of workers on the relief rolls in this county. However, a report from WPA and labor authorities received here today indicated that sufficient labor could be release, and it is now understood that work on the proj ects will get underway within a short time.

It smib nn WHISKEY AN OLD TASTE AT A YOUNG PRICE A Farm Agent Started Lespedeza Campaign Tom Broom, 69-year-old Union County farm agent, has changed the ccurse of agriculture in Ncrth Car olina. Back in 1915, when he discovered the soil-building value of lespedeza, he launched a movement that has spread into every county of the State, says F. H. Jeter, agricultural editor in a story entitled 'Lespedez zer Broom," appearing in the De cember issue of the Farm Journal. | of Philadelphia. Mr. Broom was the first man in this part of the country to observe that a growth of lesnedeza, plowed under, increases the ,. .Id of suc ceeding crops, the story says. Obtaining a peck of seed from Louisiana, he tried it out on his own farm. From that day to thla ha ha* been a "lespedeza man." In Union County, where the ilatey ?oil was not very productive, he urged farmers to grow lespedeza to improve the fertility of the soil As they saw what it would do for their land, their interest grew, and they told their neighbors about the new legume. In 1922, farmers of the ounty ordered $10,000 worth of seed, paying $5 a bushel. Then they began to produce their own seed, with a surplus to sell In peak years they have sold 300,000 pounds of seed. They sell about 1, 000 tons of hay annually. Sixty per cent of the farmers In the county now plant lespedeza, and more would grow it except for the tenant system, Broom said. As a result, the slatey toil of the county is gradually becoming fer tile. Corn yields have been raised from 12 or 13 bushels to 20 or 24 bushels to the acre. Wheat yields rose from 5 to an average of It ishels per acre. Enduring Prosperity depends on what you save rather than what you earn. If you wish to make present gains permanent, it is essential to build up a re serve at interest.
