QUESTION: Is it worthwhile
growing herbs just for seasoning?
ANSWER: Home demonstration
specialists answer, "yes." Herbs
give zest and flavor to many foods
that might otherwise be dull, and
they help bring changes when the
same foods are used frequently. Ban
ley in the herb border is a- good
source of vitamins A and C. Chives,
for onion flavor, thyme and sage for
stuffings, basil for tomato soups and
mint for summer drinks are recom
mended. Your neighbor might plant
dill for pickles, omelets and salada;
marjoram for soups and aalads; and
rosemary for lamb and veaL Then,
you might exchange hobs with your
neighbor.
QUESTION: Are there and good
chemical Weed killers?
ANSWER: Sodium chlorate, sul
phuric acid, carbon disulphide, and
common salt are four of the best.
The first two kill the plants shove
the ground and the other two kill
plants below the ground. Full in
structions should be obtained for any
of these treatments. With sodium
chlorate, for instance, a solution
should be made up, one pound to the
gallon, and sprayed upon the plants.
This chemical is very active and it
must at all times be kept away from
fire and never should be stored near
sulphur.
With sulphuric acid, a 1 to 2 per
cent solution is sprayed on the plants.
Care should be taken in mixing the
acid and the water. This spray is to
be applied only in dry weather.
Prevent Wood
Fires And Save
Valuable Pulpwood
North Carolina growers lose about
$1,350,000,000 every year from de
structive fires in woodlands. Not
only can they save money by pre
venting these fires bat they can also
protect the valuable pulpwood which
is so greatly needed by our armed
services, is the suggestion of R. W.
Graeber, extension forester at N. C.
State College.
Pine trees for parchufces. Pine
trees for smokeless powder. Pine
trees for blueprint paper. Pine trees
for treating side and wounded sol
diers. Their pulpwood and resin
find a thousand uses, according to
Graeber. Resin impregnated kraft
pulp is now being moulded under
pressure into airplane parts. A cord
of pulpwood will snake enough
smokeless powder to fire two rounds
in a 16-inch naval gun.
The Nation needs thirteen million
oords of U. S. pulpwood in 1943, says
Graeber, and so great is the demand
that kraft paper for a number of
articles has been discontinued. Re
cently .newsprint was cut 10 percent,
book papers 20 percent and wrapping
paper 15 percent. Many other types
of paper were restricted.
An interesting bulletin on pre
venting forest fires has just been
issued and copies of it may be ob
tained from the county agent or from
Mr, Graeber at N. C. State College,
Kaleigh. £n addition to discussing
fire hatiards, it outlines the best
methods of preventing fires and gives
pointers on fire fighting in wood
lands.
