Mrs. Morris, extension specialist in food conservation, says. "I hope you will impress on your county people the importance of using steam un der pressure as the only safe method of canning meats. Botulism is defi nitely on the increase; and while thousands of pairs of meats may have been canned and consumed by per sons in your county without disas trous results, that is no insurance against the future and will in no way protect the lives of their families should toxin be present in a jar that was not processed at a temperature high enough to make the contents safe.” We will want to can more meat this year than in the past. If you do not have a pressure cooker borrow one from the Home Agent or from your neighbor. LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF SUMMONS North Carolina, Washington Coun ty. In Superior Court before the clerk.

Practice Plans For 1943 Now Are Being Signed By ’farmers It Is Not Compulsory, But Said To Have Many Material Benefits Farmers in Washington County and also in every other county of North Carolina now are being given an opportunity to sign farm practice plans for 1943. stating whether or not they intend to cooperate in the 1943 AAA farm program, according to G. T. Scott, chairman of the State AAA Committee, with headquarters at State College. In an ecort to conserve transporta tion facilities, the AAA official said, most of the signup work this year is being carried on by the contacting farmers when they are in the coun ty AAA offices calling on the county agent, or at meetings with him for other reasons. It is emphasized that this sign-up concerns particularly cooperation in the 1943 AAA pro gram. Weekly reports already received in the State AAA office show that 29, 495 of a possible 196,745 eligible farmers have signed practice plans for the coming year. Of this num ber. Scott said, 29,422 indicated their intention to take part in the 1943 AAA farm program, and 73 indicated they will not cooperate. “Signing of these farm practice plans is not compulsory on the part of the farmer.” Scott said. “By signing a practice plan, the farmer merely signifies his intention to co operate in the program during the coming agricultural year, and allot ments for special crops are determin ed for his farm and forwarded to him. The farmer also is informed of the maximum payments he can earn for carrying out approved produc tion practices next year. Since this is the time for seeding winter le gumes and spreading soil building materials, it is important that he sign his farm plan as soon as possible. Farmers who cooperate in the AAA program can obtain seed and ma terials, such as lime and superphos phate. on a grant-of-aid basis, and costs wil be deducted from any pay ments due them under the Agricul tural Conservation Program.” -® Services Every Sunday at Edenton Catholic Church -® Edenton.—Holy Mass starts every Sunday at 11 a. m. in St. Anns Cath olic church.
