GRIT GRINDS Edited by COUNTY AGENT Let us grow clover and grass on the hill; While intensely the le Is and flats we till. The coups and hens wil settle our daily bill; While the beeves, shoe and tobacco the coffers fill. And, when orchard, ga den and sty the larder fill, Then, with a smile, wil Mary greet her Bill. EARLY LAYERS Floyd McDevitt, Barnard, has Ancona pullets that laid their first eggs at about 3 Ms months of age. These pullets are well grown. Mr. McDevitt raised 105 pullets out of 200 baby chix. They will have to be very carefully handled to prevent a molt this fall. GOOD TOBACCO There are many fine looking tobacco fields in the county. Gorland Hutchins, who has a demonstration plot in Mars Hill, has plants with" 22 loaves. Tom An ders, on John Bryan's place, has to bacco knee high. R. A. Edwards has a fine looking piece just below his home toward Mars Hill. The a cro demonstration plot on the Allen Bros.' farm is already showing the results of the fertilizer. Rex is in clined to give the fertilizer credit for a difference that is showing this early Mr. Shoffner, Assistant County A gent. says that the best piece of to bacco he has seen is that of a 1-11 Club boy at Hot Springs, Lester Wilson. MANY EGGS BOUGHT DURING JUNE Emmet Davis tells us that from June 10th thru July 1st, 1040 dozen eggs were purchased at tha Gradegg Market in the Farmers' Warehouse. This is a start and w; don't think it should be considered more than a start. The recein s should be many times that amount -;i a month. The price paid on July 1 was 35c for Grade A, 31c for Grade B, an 28c for Grade C eggs. POULTRY TRUCK The poultry truck bought (148 lbs. of poultry Monday. This brought the farmers ? 153.33. !';:: mers should remember that this truck is coming every second Mon day ami is at the depot from early morning until noon. The next truck is due on July 15th. BIG CORN John Bryan has corn that stands taller than a (i-f'ooi man. II 's that for this time of the year? PROGRESS When a ne.v home is being erected it indicate progress. Especially when this new home is at tractive. Shuford Smith, in the Brush Creek section, is rightfully proud of his new home. It has in creased the value of his farm ma terially. L. C. Coates is having built on his place on Route 4 a new farm home that will add to the appearance of his farm and make life more worth living. Money invested in a home is well spent. A farrj?r deserves a livable home as much or more than any other person and we are glad to see these new homes being erected. We were traveling the Spring Creek road with Warren Davis, Cash ier of the Hot Springs bank. The remark was made, "Doesn't that look good." He was speaking of the well painted tenant's home on Andy Woody's farm. Paint and a little care used around the premises works wonders in the appearance of a farm stead. THE FARMERS WAREHOUSE Mr. R. B. Moore, Morganon, a broth er of our Dr. R. L. More, Mars Hill, has heard of the prospects of build ing an., has written that he will be . :inin,t to make a bid on the build ing. Mr. Mac Sprinkle, Marshall, has already started figuring his bid. The farmers most interested all say that it is going over. The build ng will be started in the near fu ture and pushed to completion so that it can be used for the fall's traae. It will be a building that ev ery farmer having stock in will be proud of and that will be an addition to the town and the county. Four hundred and eighty-one men attended twelve meetings held at the weet clover, pasture and small grain ..eri onstratiens in Catawba County recently. HOME DEMONSTRA TION WORK REPORT OF MADISON COUNTY FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE I have held 8 women's club during June, these being at Little Pine, Cal ifornia Creek, Mars Hill, Whit Rock Hot Springs, Walnut and Spring Creek and have given California Creek an extra meeting. I had to miss the meeting at Enon and Pio neer on account of the achievement day. The meetings have been spent mostly in completing their dresses for the achievement day which was held Tuesday, June 25, and in mak ing plans to send their delegates to Raleigh to the short course which is the week of July 22. I gave a dem onstration on egg cookery and prep aration to the Spring Creek. I cook ed eggs by different methods and compared the differences in the re sults properly and improperly cook ed, also I eave a short talk on the in- digestibility of improperly cooked eggs. I prepared egg salad, deviled eggs, eggs a la golden rod on toast. E,ggs are one of the necessary foods and every farm woman can have an abundance and use them many ways in the diet of the family as they are especially good food for the children if properly cooked. The July and August meetings have been left open and most of the clubs have decided j :o have demonstrations on canning I and jelly making, two are having! raised bread. The Achievement Dav was very much a success. We had Elimination -within the clubs as there ! would be so many dres-es to be judg ed. There were 20 dresses in the contest. The types of dresses rep resented were house cresses, street dresses, suits and afternoon dresses. Thev were very cleverly designed. well made and well fitted. The wo men were well pleased with their priro;. which had been so graciously given by the clothing merchants of Marshall. Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon eave a very impressive talk on "Th ing, readings, and a discussion of some subject they are interested in. Last time they had a discussion on the Do's and Don't's at the table. White Rock Girls have made little wash hats at one meeting. We have made plans to have our 4 H camp with the girls of Buncombe, Ruther ford and Henderson counties July 16 at Western North Carolina Camp at Saannanoa. This is a reward for good club work for the girls. The girls are also making plans to send their delegates to Raleigh to the girls' short course to be held July 29 to August 3rd. I have made four home visits and written about 60 letters. Have sold $11.36 worth of rugs and placed $4. at Allenstand's in Asheville to be sold.

The woman representative from each club gave a very enthusiastic talk on the work of her club and how much it means to her community. I assisted Mrs. Ellis one day in scoring some more yards for the yard improvement campaign and 6 more yards were scored making a to tal of 32 yards. There will be more to enter this fall.

The High Art Of Concrete Bridge Construction American highways are famous for their concrete bridge design and construction as much as anything else. Volunteer Accelerated Cement is particularly well fit ted for bridge building. Its color and uniformity add greatly to the appearance of side posts, rails and abutments. Its quick hardening (accelerated) feature speeds up construction, reduces the cost and labor of making forms, and enables the new structure to carry traffic without delay.

An Old Man's Dream This story as the writer heard was told as follows: An old man one time told in a talk to a congregation that he had a dream one night of dying. The old man said he dreamed that he went to heaven. At the gate a man namely St. Peter, met him and began taking him about the beautiful place show ing him the beautiful buildings. Whose is this? asked the old man as his companion pointed out a mansion, the most wonderful sight the old man had ever seen. "Oh!" replied his companion, "that one belongs to the poor Jones man who lived just across the street from your place." "I see" said the old man (who did not). And after showing the old man nu merous mansions ,at last to the sur prise and amazement of the old man, they were confronted by a little one sideu, molded, rotten, down-and-out looking hut. Oh! my, said the old man, I'd like to know 'vAio that be longs to. It's yours, replied St. Peter Why! Why! Well! Stuttered the old man, I don't see why those other fel lows have such fine places and then I get such a place as that. "Well, now, my good man," replied St. Peter "you don't see, but you see it is Ijke this, every fellow sends the material to build his own house and the ma terial in this house of yours here is made out of what you sent to make it." Here the old man awoke. Let us remember folks that this is only an old man's dream, and not for get that there will be no little huts in heaven, but instead were win De many mansions. Let us all try to do more for Jesus who has done all for us. Some folks are going around have. What's the matter folks, grumbling about what they don't What's wrong? They just don't ap preciate what thev do have. ' I have a favor to ask of all the New.-Record readers, or maybe I ought to have .said, request to make that is this, pray for me.

HAVE MONEY! : Success With French Dishes Is Easy For Careful Cooks By: CHARLES SCOTTO, Chef. Ambassador Hotel, Pork Avenue, New York City. (CONTRARY to general belief, French cooking demands neither scarce ingredients, nor long bending over pots and pans. The majority of French dishes are extremely sim ple. The delicacy of their flavor, and the reputation for excellence which Ihcy enjoy throughout the world, arc solely the result of pains taking attention to details and a knowledge of the culinary art which, in many cases, has been handed down for generations. Success with French dishes is assured provid ed a few gen eral rules and easy instructions are followed. In cooking vege tables, for in stance, proper seasoning is of the first impor-llj tance, and the seasoning sub stances con diments, spices, salt and sugar should be used, not to disguise the natural taste of the vegetable, but to accentuate the flavor, restore it if the vegetable is not quite fresh, or blend it with the flavors of other ingredients. Tarte aux Oignons Slice thin four large onions. Put in a quart of cold, salted water. Add a tea spoon of sugar and bring to a boil Chef Scotto on a' quick fire. Cook a few min utes. Remove from the fire and drain. Add the onions to a quarter of a pound of butter that has been melted in a saucepan, and cook until they are lightly browned. Add three slices of bacon that have been cut into small pieces and cooked in but ter. Let the mixture cool until it is iust warm. Add three eggs beaten lightly with four tablespoons of cream. Fill tart shells with the mix ture, pour melted butter over them, and bake until set. Fresh Peas and Scallions Put a quart of peas in boiling water, and cook uncovered for about twenty minutes. At the same time stew a dozen scallions, cut in two-inch pieces, in a tablespoon of chicken fat or but ter. Mix the drained peas and scal lions together. Add a teaspoon of sugar, salt to taste, and dust lightly with flour. Stew until tender, add ing some of the water in which the peas were cooked. Carottes A La Bourguignonne Cut twelve medium-size carrots into two-inch lengths. Cook until tender in salted water to which a teaspoon of sugar has been added. In the mean time, cook two chopped onions in melted butter until lightly browned. Mix with the carrots and dust with flour. Salt and pepper to taste. When the flour is thoroughly browned add a cup of soup stock. Cook gently for about ten minutes, and serve very hot French Recipes Will Banish Monotony From American Diet . v,7i CHARLES SCOTTO, Chef, Ambassador Hotel, Park Avenue, New York City. T RILLAT-SAVARIN, one of the world's most famous epicures, bnce said that the discovery of a new dish is more beneficial to hu manity than a new star. The ma jority of American housewives, racked with the necessity of plan ' ning three meals a day for 365 days throughout the year, would almost certainly agree with him. While entirely new dishes are rare indeed, it is still passible for any woman ' to - find among the recipes of for eign lands a va riety of t dishes . that will be new to her and her , family. A study of French rec ipes. alone, will provide her with - ample means of escaping the deadly 1 HI I. . U Chef Scotto - accusation of monotony which, with more or less Justice, has been leveled at ' the American menu. French methods of seasoning, including the use of a lit tle sugar to enhance the flavors of vegetables, will enable her to aroas envy in the hearts of less knowing cooks. - - - Spinach A La Ttmrvine Put peck of washed spinach in a sauce pan with one and a half cups of water and one teaspoon of sugar. Cook for twenty minutes. Drain and press through a colander. Mix in three-quarters teaspoon salt, one- quarter teaspoon paprika, and two tablespoons butter. Heat again and then press firmly into a bowl to mold. Turn the spinach out upside down on a platter, garnish with slices of lemon and hard-boiled egg, , and serve immediately. . Carrots V ichy Cut a dozen young carrots in half, lengthwise. Remove the centers. Then mince them fine and put them in a saucepan with an ounce of butter, a teaspoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Moisten with French vichy . water and let s them cook slowly until tender. Serve inn mediately, and very hot. New Peas With ' Ltttuce Chop one-half of a medium-size onion. Cut fine (in Julienne) one small bead of lettuce. : Fry the onion with a little butter until lightly browned. Add the lettuce and let simmer together-for a few minutes. Then add a quart of fresh peas, a teaspoon of sugar, a half ounce of butter, salt and pep per. Moigen with water, cover the pin, and let cook slowly - Whenthe' peas are tender, add ,an ounce of better, mixed with a teaspoon of flour. '- - ,
