(By Ruth Current) State Home Demonstration Agent When disconnecting an appliance cord always grasp it by the plug - not by the cord itself. This will prevent pulling the small wires out of place and so lengthen the life of the cord. A light placid over the sink] and another placed over the range j in the kitchen pay big dividends; in betUr lignt and better sight. To prevent do.>r.s from squeak-1 ing. oil the hinges with a feather j dipped in ol. Clocks, too. may bej j'iii'd in tn.s w. .v and the sewingi machine.

Mix one and one-half cups >; powdered ,-u.n, r with one table spoon w; peanut butter and add enough ircam :o spread. This" is especially appet.zing when used on a spice cake. Place an apple in tlie cake box in which .1 cake is to be stored ond the cake will not dry out so rapid ly. This is an excellent idea for storing inexpensive f. uit cakes also. Keep a stiff brush near the ! laundry tubs and before putting j any garment with pockets into the wasii, tur.n the pockets inside out and brus : thoroughly. This same handy hi tie brush also is in d.spensable brushing soapsuds on stubborn s??il such as is found on neckband-. collars, and cuffs of >hirts.

ANSWER?Broom sedge is a poor land pest. It cannot be eliminated by "burning off," but it can be controlled by fertilization. i<Tests show that it was rcduced appre ciably by liberal applications of phosphoric acid. The reduction in broom sedge was much greater when phosphoric acid and potash were applied, but the most strick ing decrease occurred with the ap plication of nitrogen, together with the other mineral elements. QUESTION?Are all strawber-j ries of equal value in vitamin CI contents? I ANSWER?The U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture reports that tests of many varieties of straw berries show that the same condi tion which produce fine flavor in any variety of strawberry also product highest vitamin C con tent. Sunshine, long periods of daylight, cool nights and modera tely warm days give berries both their best flavor and their highest content of vitamin C. Studies showed that berries which ripen on the plant are better in flavor and higher in vitamin C thain when picked green and allowed to ripen afterward.

Medals Miss Muriel Ashe of the Cullo whee High school and Pat Monta gue of the Sylva High -school were the winners of the Gertrude Dills McKee medals in the recitation declamaticn contest held at the" Sylva Bapt.st church on Thursday evening.

Miss Ashe gave the reading "Bill" ?by Zona Gale and Pat's declama tion was '"The Liberty Bell", auth or unknown. Others entering the contest and their readings were Roberta P: uett, ' Glenville High scni'oi, ''\W~-axel\ J. R- trills, Cul lowhee High school, 'Makers of the Flag"; Thomas Edward McDevitt, Ghnville H.gh school, '"Human Rights". M. r:e West of Sylva High -choul \v;N l ) :f?ve given "The Blue Bird." but .vas unable to attend. The p; our.an was opened with a group ot S uthern songs by some i.[ the members of the Sylva. band, di/ecled by X. R. Beacham. They played again w.iile the judges were making t heir decisions and Mr. Beacham and Miss Mary Cole Still well sang a duet.

W. RhinehUrt of Webster, and Hugh Monteith of Sylva. I Nojv Is Good Time To Prepare For Canning Housewives should begin now to round up their canning equip ment and get it in order, says Miss Ruth Current, State home demon stration agent for the State Col lege Extension Service. "It's just as important to con serve food this year as it was any year during the war," Miss Cur rent said. "Canning should be done by a budget and according fo the number in the family." Now is a good time to count jars and buy new ones if necessary, the home agent continued. There will be need for a water Nbath canner with rack. The gunge bri the pres sure canner should be cracked for accuracy and s< fetv, and \rs, caps, and rings should be in readiness when strawberries, cherried, gar den peas, and early corn ripen. The home Demonstration Divi sion of the X. C. Agricultural Ex tension Service will be glad to supply a canning bulletin to any one who writes for it, Miss Current stated. Harvest time reveals the true story of -seed quality. The North Carolina Extension Service in 1945 launched a five point program aimed at doubling the state average yield of corn within 10 years. Ushers for the occasion were Patsy Buckner, Audrey Jane Jones, Tommy Ferguson, and Franklin ricks. I Interest of Tar Heel farmers in ? better seeds is evidenced by the fact that samples tested by the State Seed Laboratory are running far ahe^d of past years. The Soils Laboratory is also over-run with samples to be analyzed for ferti lizer and lime requirements. Head for Profit?Use for Result! Read Herald Want Ads. I Dr. W. Kermit Chapman ?
