In a ^‘Cotton Christmas” broadcast
over the' coast-to-coast network of
the Columbia Broadcasting System
Saturday, December 14, C. K. Ever
ett, Director of Merchandising of The
Cotton-Textile Institute called atten
tion to a new spirit in our obser
vance of Christmas this year. “Amer
ica is on the march,” he said, “into
countless stores to buy gifts for fam
ily and friends.”
This general mobilization of mass
good-will and thankfulness that we
are at peace will not be satisfied un
til we have spent actually billions
of dollars, Mr. Everett declared, add
ing that shoppers this year have an
unparalleled range of cotton gifts
from which to choose.
Pointing out that wars and em
bargoes have cut established ties with
the Old World and thrown us back
on our own resoiurces, Mr. Everett
made a plea for greater National un
ity. “In selecting our Christmas gifts
for individuals whom we know, we
have the opportunity to spread our

holiday che» to countless others
whom we do not know but who are
just as much a part of our America
as our immediate circle of relatives
and friends,” Mr. Everett observed.
“An easy way to speed this broad
and patriotic Christmas generosity is
through the selection of gifts of cot
ton; for cotton is America’s Number
One Fiber and it supports a “family”
of some fourteen million Americans,”
Mr. Everett said.
Citing the dwindling flow of cotton
for export as a tremendous hardship
on our Aremican cotton growers, Mr.
Everett made a plea for support of
this great group of our citizens
through the purchase of cottons for
Christmas.* “Make this' a Cotton
Christmas,” said Mr. Everett, “by so
doing you will be assured it will be a
Merry Christmas for your loyed ones,
and it will help make a Happy New
Year for some struggling farmer "or
discouraged sharecropper in our
Southland.

LetVMake A
Wreath And
Here’s The Way
Christmas decorations begin with
the wreath on the door. Miss Pauline
Smith, .bd^trict home agent of the
State College Extension Service, is
an authority on decorations and she
gives the following directions for
making a wreath:
Assemble the evergreens you want
to use. Prom the florist you can
buy foundation frames of heavy
si^le wire and two spcxds of wreath
wire; one of the iii^.^reiad weight,
and 22 other gauge. Somb persons
may be able to make their own
frames, especially after buying one
or two as samples.
Clip the evergreens into short, even
lengths; an average length being about
six inches. Fasten the heavy wire to
the frame and, holding the spool
firmly in your right hand, take
several pi^es of evergre^ with your
left hand, binding them tightly. to
the frame. Continue .this operation,
overlapping material closely, until
you have completed the circle. View
your completed wreath from a dis
tance and shear any protruding ma
terial that spoils the outline.
•pother method is to make suf
ficient quantity of small, individual
bunches of greenery of uniform
length, width and thickness to com
plete your wreath. Fasten each se
curely with a short length of light
weight wire. Clip the ends to a imi-
form evenness and bind to the wire
frame, overlapping closely.
To make a wreath of tapering out
line, bunches of graduating size are
first made and arranged in order on
the frame, then wired in pla%.

smoother, the vines stay green much
longer, and yields are 40 to 50 per

Methods for canning>:Bll these meat
delicacies are described./m a new Ex
tension Folder (No. A) which has
been published-'vy the State College
Extension Service. ;^rs. Cornelia C.
Morris^ Extension economist in food
conservation and marketing, prepared
the text. The publication is entitled
“Canning Meats” and it is available
free upon request by name and nUmT
her to the Agricultural Editor, N, C.
State College, Raleigh.
Mrs. Morris says pressure cannefs
should be used in canning meats,
“Other methods are not safe,” she
declared. “Pressure canners ai;e
made of strong material with a tight
ly-fitting lid, which, when clamped
in place, will hold steam under pres
sure, thus bringing the temperature
inside the cannemip to a much higher
temperature than the boiling point.”
Other equipment and supplies
which the Extension specialist recom
mends for canning meats include:
Good jars, new rubber rings, dish
pans, a frying pan, shallow pans,
measuring cup, sharp knives, and a
meat fork. She also suggests that a
good supply of clean dish towels,
soap, matches, salt, and hot and cold
water be available.
One of the points stressed in the
folder is: If meat is to be cooked be
fore it is canned, it should not be
more than half done. There are sev
eral ways to cook the meat. It can
be browned quickly in a small a-
mount of hot fat in a frying pan;
it. can be roasted in the oven; or it
can be stewed or boiled. Salt should
not be added to the meat until it is
packed into jars.

Question—What, is the Best green
feed* for poultry in the winter?
Answer-r-Cu^ed alfalfa hay, clover
hay or lesp^i^ make good greens
for winter use as a poultry feed
proving the green color is retained.
Another satisfactory feed is alfalfa
leaf meal^Jan^ again it is iippdrtant
to retain ^«color. However, alfalfa
leaf meal should not constitute more
than 10 cent of the masb.^ All

the birds-wltl^at on^^ the leaves and
the stems ban be thrown in the litter.
. Question—^How can I store Dahlia
roots to keep' them over the winter?
Answer—An ideal place to store
Dahlias is any cellar or storage bin
that does 'not become warmer than
50 degrees F. The average furnace
heated house cellar is too hot and
dry and the clumps will need protec
tion., This can be accomplished by
packing the roots in a box of slightly
moistened granulated peat moss and
placing in the coolest part of the
cellar. Dry sand or sandy soil may
be'used as packing material.

Question—^What is the best fertil
izer mixture fpr use on tobacco plant
beds and what amount should be
used?
Answer—^Two hundred pounds of
a 478-3 mixture^for each 100 square
yards of bed has proven most satis
factory. If a low grade fertilizer is
used, it can be supplemented with
50 to 100 pounds of cottonseed meal,
provided the meal is mixed thor
oughly with the soil. All fertilizers
should be broadcast on the. plant bed
and thoroughly mixed with the upper
three or four inches of soil. Be sure
that all roots and small stumps are
removed from the plant bed space.
The soil should be broken finely by
using a disc harrow, coulter, or some
other suitable implement.

You can . look a horse in the mouth
and tell how old it is. “You jain
also look at the mouth-of an insect
which is attacking flowers and shriibs,
and tell what ^ind of poison or in
secticide to use against it,” says J.
O. Rowell, entomologist of the U. N.
C. State College Extension Service.
There are, generally speaking, two
major groups of insects from the
standpoint of control, Rowell ex
plained. One group includes those
insects with chewing mouth parts and
which are controlled, for the most
part, through the use of stomach
poisons. The second group includes
insects with sucking mouth parts
and these are controlled mainly
through the use of. contact insecti
cides and fumigants.
The entomologist says that it is
usually very easy to dentify t1|i in
sects with chewing, mouth panl^ith-
er by examination of the moiNTbarte
or by observing the nature of their
attack. . Representatives of this group
include grasshoppers, leaf -ojufers,
and catet-pillars.
“Perhaps the/ most satisfacton'
stomach poison oh the market to con
trol chewers is arsenate of lead,”
Rowell declared. “It can be used as
a dust or spray, but caution .is ad
vised since it is poisonous to humans
and animals.”
The insects with sucking mouth
parts include plant lice, scale in
sects, and leaf hoppers. They suck
the juice from their host plants. The
most cominon and widely-used ton-
tact insecticide for this type of, in
sect is nicotine which may be applied
as a spray or dust.
Rowell statto in conclusion that ai'J
satisfactory combination stomach poi
son and contact spray may be mi>de by j
preparing an arsenate of le^ solu
tion and - adding % ounce ^ soap j
and 1 teaspoonful of 40 per cmL ^'co-
tine sulphate for each gallonol ar- s
senate of lead solution.
