STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKER By VCRNA STANTON Assistant State Agent Prunes are plentiful on markets now, marketing specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture remind housewives. For variety, the family may enjoy spiced prunes, served hot or cold, as a rel ish with the first course or as a lively fruit dessert. For spicing, wash prunes, then put them in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Let them soak about an hour, or until plump. Then cook them in the same water in which they have soaked. Simmer for 15 or 20 minutes until tender, add . iag more, water.if. necessary during cooking. Toward the end ot tne cooking add sugar to taste, a few grains of salt, spice, and a little vinegar. Turnip greens are as familiar on southern dining tables are corn pone and pork. But southern cooks differ in the way they prepare these greens. Some discard all the stems and even midribs and cook only the leaves. Others cook and serve the greens as they come, leaves and stems together. Because turnip greens are so prominent in southern diets, scien tists at the Texas Experiment Sta tion recently made tests to learn the best method of ^preparation from the nutritional standpoint. They tested and compared the min eral values of both leaves and stems and found that in calcium, leaves rated as excellent, and stems as good to fair. In iron, the leaves rated good, and the stems fair to poor. Although the leaves proved to have more nutritive value, the scientists believe the stems have enough to warrant their use. Dis carding this part of greens is waste ful and also takes extra time in preparation. Some people object to the fiber or "stringiness" of older stems, but to many they are use ful as roughage in the diet. The southern custom of using the "pot liquor" or water in which the greens have cooked has long been approved by the nutritionists because the liquor contains soluble nutrients from the greens.

CLAYTON Well, good friends, I will give out the good news?we have just had a week's meeting, and what a meeting it was, one of the best we have had in a long time. Quite a few to be baptised and quite a lot of old white heads, who had wan dered off into the wilderness, came back and are now taking their places in the church and Sunday school. One year ago on Easter we had 99 in Sunday school. This past Easter we had 165 present for Sun day school. I hope old Jackson county is doing as well. Our preacher for the meeting was the Rev. Brown from Lyman and our pastor, the Rev. Breedlove, surely did make a great team in working for and with the Lord. Our postmaster, Ward Woodard, has been given a 100 per cent mark by Uncle Sam, of which we are all proud. Our assistant postmaster is a Jackson county girl, Miss Sallie Lewis, and a fine girl with a smile for everyone. In spite of~the high lumber prices we see six new houses going up. And new Tar Teels, I have never seen so many? Fate Shuler and son and lots more. Jobs are getting scarce. Old Uncle Sam Cook has sold out and is mov ing to Lyman. We have been having some bum weather for the past week or so, but looks a little better now. We are hoping it will be pretty next Sunday as we are having our Singing convention. We are not looking for our friends from Jack son although you are welcome. Card Of Thanks We wish to express our appre ciation to all for their kindness during tl?e sickness and death of our husband and father, especially to the employees of C. J.

According to Case, these animals weighed 614,115 pounds and sold for $192,972.75, or an average of $31.43 per hundred. Financial reports, on 537 head, showed that ninety-eight per cent of these steers ^ade a net profit of $54,383.53. or an average of $101.27 per head. "These profits will help to pay college tuition for many of the boys and girls participating." Case said, "but this is only one of the 4-H Club work." "These youngsters are learning to love livestock. They will become better citizens through their asso ciations with good animals. They are learning good feeding, breed ing and management methods, and their parents and neighbors are learning through the youth."
