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.

QUESTION?How can I destroy
broom sedge in my pasture? I have
tried burning it off, but it comes
right back.
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.

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.
