Seymour I'ullock, national field
representative of the Izaak Wal
ton League of America, who or
ganized a number of chapters in
North Carolina in 193), spent a
short time with officials of the
Department of Conservation and
Development recently on his way
to South Carolina for a lecture
program.
With a steady trend toward a
shorter working day and with a
five-day week apparently just
arounJ the corner, Coloucl Hullock
declared that the Izaak Walton
League is laying increasing stress
on the social demands of conser
vation. "No people who fail to make
adequate provisions for the proper
employment of leisure time have
reason to complain when life de
velops abnormally,"said Colonel
Bullock. "The question of the
manner in which a person spends
his leisure time' determines suc
cess or ruin.
"We must make the outdoors as
attractive as possible in order that
the people may be induced to
spend more time with its whole
some, invigorating, and inspiring
atmosphere if wc produce a race
of healthy, progressive and hap
py p:ople."

Vegetable Cookery
Most people cook vegetables too
long and in too much water. They
are more delicate if cooked only
until tender. Overcooking vege
tables toughens the texture, de
stroys the green . coloring matter,
causes a loss of flavor, often
makes them indigestible and may
destroy the vitamins. Drop them
into boiling salted water. For
leafy vegetables, the water adher
ing to the leaves is usually enough.
In cooking, young turnips, boil
them for. twenty inutes whole,
then remove from the water and
slip the skins off as you would
from young beets, then return to
boiling water and cook until ten
der. .Vegetables are low, in fat-producing
qualities. They reduce 'the
number of calories in the diet.
They are also base-forming and
tend to undo the harm caused to
the tissues by eating too many
acid-forming foods. ,Thcy are par
ticularly good for adults who are
threatened with rheumatism and
high blood pressure. Babies and
growing children need them to de
velop sturdy teeth, nerves and good
red blood.
Condiments
The eating of mustard, chili
sauce, horseradish, catsup, pepper
sauce, red and black pepper and
other condiments has the same
effect on the gall bladder and liver
as drinking alcoholic beverages
and that is pretty serious for those
vital organs. People with bad
livers are forbidden condiments,
and those with good livers should
refrain before this organ gets out
of order.
Many people have an idea that
condiments aid digestion, but this
is not true. To use them on cold
meats and other foods, until one
has cultivated a taste for them, is
a sad dietetic mistake, andi habit
which will have to be broken soon
er or later. It is a wise mother
who brings up her children to
ignore condiments. Since they are
even more harmful for adults than
for children, thev should never
appear on the family table. Pick
le$ strongly seasoned with con
diments are equally harmful, but
pickles Without such flavorings are
not injurious.
Helpful Hints
For Farmers
SPRAY OLD ORCHARDS
Many North Carolina orchards
are suffering from scalv damage
an l should be .thoroughly, sprayed
before growth sets in. 1 Examine
the trees . carefully and see how
far the - scale ' infestation has pro
ceeded. It increases at a rapid
rate and may spread over a large
area before being noticed.
C. II. Hnirmoii, extension -entomologist
at State clotlcye. says that
the ' old lime-sulphur spray was
the standard for years and when
thoroughly applied at proper
strength did much good in control
ling,, ordinary infestations. Hovv
eer, where scale infestation is
heavy, it may be best to use. an
oil spray. Oil is more efficient as
a scale-killer than the old lime
sulphur.
Particularly, should the oil spray
be used where scurfy scale or
oyster-shell scale are found. These
are hard to kill and lime-sulphur
is not equal to the ta: k.
Mr. Brannon has found that the
sott maple trees growing over
the state are heavily infested with
gloomy scale and cannot be pro
tected from this trouble by any
other spray than the oil.
Good results with the oil spray,
however, depend upon three things.
The-proper material must be used;
it nuist.be correctly mixed; and
must be carefully and thoroughly
applied. A great deal also de
pends on the spray rig. Good re
sults are never obtained with a
broken down, worn out machine.
Scale is easier to kill in the
spring, says Mr. Brannon, but to
wait until growth gets too far
along will mean that the foliage
will be severely damaged by the
spray solution.
USE MORE FERTILIZER
Despite all the harsh words di
rected at them, cotton and tobac
co are stijl the two chief money
crops of North Carolina farmers.
The thinking farmer does not for
get that five-sixths of the annual
production ' value in North Caro
lina conies from crops and about
two-thirds of this comes from the
main cash ..crops ol cotton ami
tobacco.
This does not mean that other
crops should not De ' grown ana
that thev do not make fanning A
safer and more profitable busi
ness," says C. B. Williams, agron
omy cruet at Mate college. nut
as our farming is now conducted
we must face facts and realize
that the prosperity of our fanners
and ot a large group ot persons
depending on the farmers' in
come is affected by what happens
to cotton and tobacco."
Air. Williams tears that because
of poor business conditions, many
growers this year will seek to do
away with some of the practices
that tend- to make good acre yield
Some growers will even increase
their acreage to cotton and tobac
co and depend on acreage rather
tha intensive cultivation to pay
a profit. This is all wrong, he
says. It were 'better to cut sharp
ly the acreage of cotton and to
bacco and to nut more intensive
effort " on the reduced : acreage.
Fertilizers, he says, usually re
turn fnim two to three dollars
profit for every dollar expendei
vyhen used with cotton and tobac
co and the right amounts am
kinds should be used again this
vear despite the depression. On
coastal plain' soils, the efficiency
of labor in growing cotton is in
creased 2.37 limes by the . use o
fertilizers and 2.84 times in the
piedmont section. More pronounc
ed results are secured with, tobac
co. It is poor economy to cut
out fertilizers this year, he de
clares.
PRESERVE CHEAP EGGS
One ot the best ami most eco
nomical methods ot preserving
fresh eggs for use this winter
to use the; old water glass nictiio,
advocated by poultrynnu for many
years. ,
"It will cost only about two cents
a dozen to .preserve' eggs by tin
method," says C. F. I'arrish', " ex
tension . poult ryma'n at State col
lege, a'"' with the present crop
scllinti at about 20 cents a dozen
v
this method of preservation for
household use is an excellent in
vestment. Kuiis sell for 30 to 40
cents a dozen and more in thi
fall and it the poultryman has a
supply preserved in water glass
for his own lise, he can sell th
freshly laid eggs for this price
The city housekeeper will also find
that preserving' eggs now whil
thev are cheap will save sonn
money this fall."
F.ggs ' saved by this method may
be used in any form for tab!
purposes, except for poaching
Only fresh, clean eggs with a firm
shell texture should be used
Cracked eggs are not lit tor anv
kind of storage. Candle the egg
and see that they are strictly
fresh and then" get a five gallon
glazed earthen- jar or glass jar
Be sure it has t lid that will fit
tightly.

The solution should, be kept two

CORN MOST VALUABLE
Not only does a full corn crib
keep the sheriff awav but -it furn
ishes feed for all kinds of live
stock and food for the family.
More should be grown this season
Ullil a''ie yields should be higher.
This is. the opinion of C. IC
Hudson, veteran farm demonstra
tion worker at State college and
a . successful corn grower in his
own right. Mr. Hudson believes
that every acre planted should be
made to yield at least 35 bushels
and 50 is more profitable. This
can' be done very easily by follow
ing a few common-sense practices.
Mr -Hudson says 81) farmers of
(ireeiie county grew an average of
52 bushels an acre last season at
a cost of 39 cents a bushel. The
stover produced was worth $10 a
on for feeding purposes and al-
wing $3 a ton for harvesting.
the corn was still reduced' to about
IS - ce nts a bushel ' in total cost of
production.
The business-like way for a land
owner to prepare tor growing
corn is to' calculate his probable
needs for the entire year; figure
his probable yield per acre and
then put enough acreage to pro-
luce the corn that will be needed
or 12-'months. Some allowance
should ' be .made for a poor season
, p . . t.
and lor anv increase in me mim-
icr of animals to be fed.

this . spring, the land should still
be well prepared, fertilizer used
under the corn and arrangements
made for a suitable top-dressing of
quickly available nitogen fertilize.
Small acre yields' arc not profitable
ind every grower in the state
hould set his mark for at least
15 bushels an acre, says. Mr
ll'td-
son. .
BUY GOOD CHICKS
Breeding t'hs year will count
above all other factors, if the poul
try-raiser is to make a success
ol Ins business. Unly good nocks
will be able to show a profit, an
orities are advising poultrynien
ol the I mted Mates. flocks ot
inferior poultry are going to be
Iriveu hard during the next few
months to bring a proht. .
The reason for this is ' that the
poultry business has hit the dol-
drums ot low prices, uurng inc
last few years, eggs and poultry
commanded such good prces that
almost any flock cared for with
anv degree of intelligence would
product! and annual profit. But
now the 'picture, has changed, tcin
porarily. . '
I'oultry-raisers and farmers who
keep flocks as a side-line are be
ing warned .to. .steer-clear of the
trap of cheap chicks, purchased
with a low price as the deciding
consideration. If it was ever busi
ness suicide to lniv the cheapest
instead of the besl, it is this year,
say leaders in the industry.
Instead, poultrynien should plan
to buy 'chicks-of the highest qual
ity, rather than low-priced ones,
of doubtful ancestry. It will be
much ntore profitable and satisfac
tory next frill to own a fine flock
of high-quality 'pullets, bred in the
purple.. Every pullet of breeding
and quality can be depended upon
to deliver a profit during the com
ing fail ami winter.
