And it is usually the high priced or rare variety that is lost. How ever, if your basement is , heated j and warm the roots may dry out I excessively and may be lost In star-1 age. i : In preparing for storage, cut the stalks off at the surface of the ground soon after the plants have been killed by frost With a spad ing lork loosen the ground all round the dump of roots. Then work the spading ford underneath the clump and lift It out of the ground. Since different varieties vary a great deal in root charac teristics some have short thick roots the digging operation must be done with care so as not to break the necks of the roots In lift- I ing the clump out. A root with a broken neck is worthless. The soil may be gently shaken from the roots or may be washed off or may be left on the clump to protect the roots. In the storage cellar or room the clumps may be placed directly on the floor or may be packed in boxes or baskets lined with paper. Peat or vermiculite make good packing materials which will also prevent' drying out of the roots. Sawdust may also be used. In the spring as soon as the buds or sprouts begin to show, the clumpc should be divided. Each diT vision should contain at least one bud or eye and one root. Remem ber that the buds or eyes are usual ly on the base of the stem or crown and not on the roots themselves. THAT .10UCHBPWK7 7 !?.0 fAKE ME A HBW WIT THE J ; WSwU?) ' f .

" JtTWt h.G VuBMITUBt STOW Ml aTB SIHHTM I We Cure Meat The Year 'Round Exports Of Farm Products Expected To Increase An increase of as much as 10 per attractive prices in products offer- cent in exports of farm products to d. and upon the nation's ability to other countries during the last half meet exacting buyer preferences of 1954 and the first half of 1955 is held a possibility by the Foreign Agricultural Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. During the preceding year ex ports of farm products improved 4 percent over the low postwar level of 1952-53. If government surplus disposal programs are successful, the in crease in farm exports may even exceed the 10 percent expected this year, according to FAS. But over the long run, volume of exports will depend more upon high quality and rseas in an area of competitive foreign marketing. A product se lected to meet demand here is not necessarily the preferred type by foreign standards. Through its service of reporting on foreign 'markets and with the help of United states agricultural attaches stationed in 40. foreign countries, the Foreign Agricultural Service is prepared to help private traders meet the requirements of prospective overseas customers, ac cording to USDA. represented a very slight increase over the previous year. The summary shows a sharp gain in the total number of beef cows and heifers of farms as of January 1, 1954. This figure at 250,429 com pares with 211,940 on the same date a year earlier, representing an in crease of 18 percent Milk cows and heifers, two years old an dover, to taled 313,863, an increase of only 1, 412 over the January 1, 1953, inven tory. Hens and pullets of laying age on North Carolina farms totaled 7,- 192,281 as of the first of this year, which represented a decline of al most five percent from the number on farms a year earlier. Sows and gilts for farrowing also showed a slight decrease, totaling 11937, compared with 123,798 a year ago. i 2 Kill Hogs Anytime Plenty Of Zero Storage B&R Frozen Foods WALLACE, N. C.
