BIRD CLUB
Ray Preecott, in an article on the
Song- Sparrow, said there are many,
/ , many kinds of sparrows bat the Song
Sparrow is the dearest of than all
and none sing so sweetly. Mr. and Mrs.
Song Sparrow select their nest together
and both help in its construction.
They raise several broods in a
summer and have a busy time feeding
hungry babies. Ray also said
remember to put out a little food
and a bird bath for these cheerful
little snogstera.
Harry Albritton and James Thome
told about the Scarlet Tanager with
his coat of reddish red and velvety
blade wings and tail. They said he
is the Guardian of the Oaks aa he
cleans up grubs, worms and insects,
most of which he lovingly takes home
to his family. In two weeks the eggs
hatch and in tiro weds more they
are out of the nest. Harry and
James said the glorious beauty of
this bird is a joy forever.

State College Hints
For Farm Homemakers
(By RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent)
When buying food: (1) Plan before
yoa bay; pennies go further; (2)
shop around and locate the "beet
boys"; (3) read labels and know
what's in the food package; (4) buy
by grade and get the quality you
pay for; (5) watch the scales and
make sure you get what you order.
About eggs: They are good at any
meal; good by themselves or as
mixers.
About milk: Drink some; cook
with some; and eat some as
cheese. Cook vegetables and cereals
in milk to give them more-food value.
About fruits and vegetables: Eat
raw fruits and vegetables often.
About cereals and breads: Enriched"
breads and flofirs have more food
value than ordinary white breads
and flours. Home-cooked cereals
cost less than the read-to-eat kindSome
cereals are higher in food value
than others.
About fats and sweets: Fat-soak-!
foods are slow to digest When frying
foods, never let the fats smoke.
Use all the fat trimmings with

Farmers Urged
To Plant More
Lespedeza This Year
Farmers of North Carolina are
urged by E. Y. Floyd, state AAA
executive assistant, to make every
effort to earn as many soil building
practive payment units as possible
this year by seeding lespedeza.
Floyd said field surveys show there
is still a good supply of lespedeza
seed in the hands of retail and wholesale
dealers over the state, and
added that there is stall time to seed
the crop. Many farmers plant lespedeza
over their small grains but
many others also seed in the open
field .and this is the best time for
such planting.
He said seeding lespedeza earns
the farmer one-half unit, 75 cents,
per acre toward soil building practice
payments under the Agricultural
Conservation Program.
.This crop is one of the best adapted
legumes for the state as a whole, it
is fool-proof, and all small grain
should be over-planted with lespedeza
where possible. v
"Indications are that water soluble
nitrogen will be short of demands
about 50 to 60 percent this year, and
no one, knows how short it will be in
1948," he said. "By growing lespedeza,
the farmer can produce for
himself a large portion of the nitrogen
needed for his crops."
He declared lespedeza is one of
the best nitrogen-gathering crops
grown in the state, and that this crop
is becoming more and more important
with such a large volume of commercial
nitrates going into the manufacture
of munitions for war.
