Farmers Are Urged
To Save Their Food
"North Carolina is preparing td do
its part in the "Food for Freedom"
campaign." says D. S. Weaver, ex
tension agricultural engineer of N.
C. State College, "but," he adds,
?proper food conservation and stor
age is just as important as food pro
duction "
The extension man says there is
no better way in which the average
farmer can assist in the great "Food
for Defense" program than to be
sure that every bit of useful food and
feed on his farm is saved for event
ual consumption.
As an example. Weaver pointed
out that sweet potatoes is one of the
most widely-grown crops in the
State, and yet a loss of 50 per cent in
storage often results due to inferior
equipment and methods. "Sweet po
tato curing and storage requires con
siderable knowledge and attention to
details." the engineer pointed out.
To help improve the equipment
and methods of potato storage in
North Carolina, the Agricultural
Engineering Department at State
College has obtained a quantity of

Quality First In Sale
Of Extra V egetables
Quality is the first essential in the
sale *f surplus vegetables, says H.
R Niswonger, extension horticultur
ist of N C State College. "The pur
chaser has no more taste for infer
ior' vegetables than the gardener,
! himself," Niswonger declared, "and
; the buying public will protest in
feriority by limiting or refraining
from purchasing them."
After high quality, the horticulture
ist said, the second consideration in
marketing surplus vegetables is at
tractive appearance. If an article ap
peals to the eye, the sale is half
made. This idea involves the grad
ing of produce, with reference to
size, color, shape, ripeness, sound
ness, and method of display, pack
ing and packaging.
Thud comes honesty in packing
or bunching. Too frequently, Nis
wonger stated, the imperfect, speck
ed, unclean specimens have a habit
of hiding fhemselves within the
package or bunch of good products.
The evil of this practice is readily
apparent, he declared.
As a fourth consideration, the
'State "Co!logo"'"specialist 'Tjaw-Ttnri
package or bunch should be of con- 1
venient and desirable size. He sug
gested that asparagus be .marketed
in bunches of 2 to 3 pounds in weight,
beets in bunches of 4 to 6 with tops
undipped, carrots in bunches of from
5 to 10, depending upon size, or 3
large ones, weight 1 to 1 1-2 pounds;
lettuce in bunches of 3 to 10, de
pending upon size; and turnips in
bunches of 3 to 5, weight 1 1-4
pounds.
"Remember," Niswonger conclud
ed, "the aim of the gardener should
be to fully satisfy the consumer.
Observance of this principle secures
good prices, quicker sale, and in
creased demand,
