Its beauty in early spring is stimulating and warms the heart. The following legend about'the dogwood is reprint ed from a newspaper of another state: "At the time of the crucifixion the dogwood attained the size of an oak and other forest trees. So strong and firm was the wood of it that it was chosen for the timber of the cross. To be thus used for such a cruel pur pose greatly distressed the tree, and Jesus smiled upon it, sensed this, and in His gentle pity for sorrow, said to ft: 'Because of your regret and pity for my suffering I make you this promise. Never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used for a cross. Henceforth it shall be slender and beht and twisted, and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross?two long petals and two short petals, and in the center of the outer edge of each there will be nail prints, brown with rust and stained with blood. In the center of the flow er there will be an image of crowr and thorns and all who see it will re member that it was upon dogwood tree I was crucified, and this tree shall not be mutilated or destroyed but cherished as.a reminder of mj death upon the cross'." ?

I Farmers can produce their owttl kudzu seedlings"" for halting erosion j Service in the Southeast, reports W.J D. Lee, soil conservationist of the I State College Extension Service. He quoted <R. Y. Bailey, regional | agronomist of the SCS, on the fol-l lowing system of propagating kudzu J plants from seeds: ( j (1) Select as a seed bed an area | of sandy soil. Plow the land early I in the spring and harrow until the soil is in good condition. Lay off rows 24 to 30 inches apart and apply approximately 600 pounds of a com plete fertilizer per acre. Bed on the fertilizer and harrow until the beds are low and relatively flat If neces sary, harrow to control weeds and j grass before planting time. (2) Drill the seeds on the beds dur ing the latter half of May or the first of June, using a small garden seeder, if available, and cover the seed ap proximately one-fourth inch deep. If] a garden seeder is not available, sow the seed by hand. Approximately 15 pounds of scarified seed per acre will be required in 24-inch rows. They will produce about 3,500 good plants from each pound of seed. Plant where there is plenty of moisture in the soil. (3) Carefully cultivate the bed by hand until the plants are large enough to cover the ground betweenJ rows. Do not allow the soil to crust after a rain. This can be prevented by scarifying the surface soil lightly with a hand rake or by mulching lightly with straw or sawdust.' (4) If plants are to be grown for market, it is important that care be exercised in selecting land to plant them on that is not infected with ne matodes, or root knot. Spending Pood still ranks first in farm fam ily expenditures, but increased out lay for automobile and household op eration in recent years has shoved clothing spending down to fburth place. Favorable Prospects continue to .favor in creased egg production and increased production and 'marketing of poultry this year as compared with 1938, re ports the U. S.

V Strawberry Jam Has Market Possibilities Strawberries are being harvested in many sections of North Carolina, and this offers the possibility for farm women to supplement their in come by preserving surplus of'this lucious fruit, or making them into Jam, reminds Mrs. Cornelia C. Mor ris, economist in food conservation and marketing .of the State Extension Service. "The strawberry season is a short one, but it can be extended through fall and winter if farm wo men will spend a little time in their kitchens," she stated. Mrs. Morris offered the following recipes for making strawberry pre serves and jam: ? For preserves, take two quarts of firm, ripe strawberries and cover them with boiling water for two min utes. Drain quickly and add four cups of sugar. Boil two minutes af ter the entire mass is bubbling. Re move from the fire and after all bub bling has stopped, add two more cups of sugar and boil for five miautds. Pour into hot sterilized jars, process five .minutes at simmering point, and seal immediately. The berries will be plump and will retain their bright red color. For jam, crush two quarts of ber ries and add four and one-half cups of sugar. Cook until it forms a sheet of jelly when poured from the side of the spoon. Stir the jam constant ly-with a wooden spoon during the * . cooking. When it is finished, pour immediately into hot sterilized jars and seal. The texture and color are better if no more than two quarts of berries are cooked at a time. ?
