On June 30, the Home Agent, the Farm Agoit, three leaders, and thirty^nine 4-H boys and girls left ADswen Tim^ State Faim Question—-Is it-^necessary to fol low a recipe in preparing fruit juices for cooling drinks?^ Answer—No. Use the odds and ends of fruit juices yoifr refriger ator may offer. The juice left from the pineapple salad last night will make a pleasing combination with the juice'Of a fresh lemon, lime or an orange or two. For color, crush and strain half a cup of berries and add a tablespoon or tWo of jelly. It should be more tafi than sweet since sugar, dulls, rather than stimulates tiie appetite. A sugar syrup is-more effective for sweetening summer drinks than sugar itself. Question—^What are wme of thte important things to 'remember in marketing eggs? Answer—Never put the eggs in cases imtil they are properly cooled. Whgn warm eggs' are put in cases, they can’t cool rapidly. So .they begin to lose quality and may even become bad. The way eggs are mark eted also affects their quality and the number lost throuj^^ soilage. Eggs need to be marketed often. And once a week isn’t often enough. Twice a week isn’t often enough in hot weather. For satisfactory res ults, eggs need to be marketed just as soon as possible after they are gathered and cooled. One other point, the eggs must be protected from heat while on the way to mar ket. If the eggs or containers in which they are packed are exposec to the sun or heat from other sources, they will lose quality. Loss of qua lity means loss of market value. Question—Can milk absorb odors from the air around it and get an unpleasant taste that way? Answer—Scientists say that the mild, delicate flavor of good milk is very easily tainted by absorbing odors from the air. If you keep milk uncovered in the refrig^tor, it will soon take on the taste of flsh, cab bage, banana, melon, onion or other foods witii a decided flavor that are also in the refrigerator uncover ed. Milk will take on the odor of disinfectants or m^icine with strong odors used in the bam where the cows are milked. For example, milk will taste of coal-tar for days after coal-tar spray has been used in^the dairy bam. POOLE'S MlDLEY By D, Scait Poole PM I often think of oiir old nL__ back home on Drowiiing creek. Near ly all of tiiem are dead. Very few of tiiose who grew up with me are living, and none who were grown up ahead of meu Qur home was one- half mile west of McKenzie’s Bridge on Droyming Creek the county line between Moore and Montgomery counties. Our home was four miles west of Jackson Springs church mid school, where my mother’s people lived. I was full of mischief-making fuq when I was young, a kind of clown, and it seemed I was the center of the fiin-making element in our com munity. I did something I regretted, ike frightening small boys by pre tending I was^ having a fit. It was not so much my fault, as that of boys my age, who played up my antics for more than they were worth. for 4-H Camp at Camp MiUstone near Hoffman. Other counties join ing Hoke are Montgomery, Moore, and boys frmn Scotland. 49 library books were checked to club women at club meetings. I am thankful all of them, young and old learned I was harmless, and meant only fun, and as I grew up and older, I was an accepted friend of aU, and no community had more harmless amusement than did ours. And, I have known little else than the best of people, everywhere I have, lived, still 'I know no better folk than those on Drowning Creek. Boll Weev3 Menace Has Beoime Reality Will McKenzie and myself were chums after we one day met at Jesse Thomas’ Mill, where we both had carried girsts to have ground. We talked, waded in the creek be low the mill, discussed fishing and other business. I, was 17 and he 14, and from the day we met at the mill, we were together at least half the time. There were three Campbell’s, three Bailey’s, one Reynolds’, four McKen zie’s, Seven Ibomas’. two McLeod’s, two Bennett’s, two Poole’s, two Ste wart’s, two Currie’s, one Robinson’s, two Copeland’s, one Wright, and one McAskill families in our neighbor hoods. PENDER There were Jackson’s creek, Mc Lendon’s creek. Mill Creek, Moun tain creek, and Naked creek adjacent neighborhoods. I attended parties in all these neighborhoods during' my young day. There were a number of pretty girls in all these neighbor hoods. ■ * Young people where I grew up never learned round dancing. We were foolish about cotillion. As ! look back, we are mighty foolish most of our lives. I qow get much more enjoyment from resting than ] got from parties. Parties distract. When we had one, we began plan ning for another, I may have leameo a little something about chivolry, but at high cost. Cotton Enemy No. li the boll weevil, has begun its invasion of North Carolina farms, and J. O. Rowell, Extension entomologist of N. C. State College, sgys the time has arrived for farmers to counter attack. County farm agents are mobi lizing forces to fight the insect pest. “The first maneuver,” Rowell says, “is the application of 1-1-1 poison treatments when weevils are found in fields during the pre-square period at the rate of 30 or more per acre. That, means, about one weevil to 500 plants. “Pre-square treatments should be started just as squares begin to form,” the entomologist stated. “This is usually when the plants are 5 to 6 inches high, and before the squares are large enough for the weevils to puncture. , “But don’t stop with this attack,” Rowell continued, “because a war isn’t won with a single battle. Pre- square posioning alone will not sat isfactorily control boU weevils, as many weevis reach the fields after the pre-square posioning period has passed.” The Extension specialist recom mends post-square treatments, in the form of calcium arsenate dust ing. This type of posioning should be started when 10 percent of the deve loping squares show boll weevil egg punctures. Complete information on boll weevil control methods is contained in Extension Folder No. 45, which is available free upon request to the Agricultural Editor, N. C. State Col lege, Raleigh. The 1-1-1 treatment is made with a mixture of one pound of calcium arsenate, one gallon of cheap molasses, and one ^llon of water. It is applied with a hand mop or with a machine.

There had been a heavy rain just ^ter nooii, and the diamond had been flooded and the paths were as slick as glass with black mud, and the older players slipped down often, Md they were not presentable after the game, which they lost. Raeford gave a play: ‘Not A Man in the House,” in the graded school building that was, rare, and racy. The men dressed in wo men’s apparel, were not a good look- mg set, and it was absolutely ridi culous from start to finish. It was great fun. There were two graves in Raeford cemetery when we came to Raeford 36 ^ars ago, and before long, more land will t>e added to the cemetery. The Chief of Police was paid $25 per montii and tiie mayor got fees like a magistrate, the commissioners ‘****«*^t Of the vice. jAftfr they had once been elected, I they had to be beaten off by a hot campaign, it appeared.

Now we ride a bus. “How is your wife getting on with jher driving lessons?” I, so good. She took a turn for jthe worse today.” PRIORITY Sixti^ railroad building companies I have been granted priority ratings I by the government to insure a const- I ant flow of farm commodities to Imaihet. Social Security Card Not Evidence Holder Is Employable , Having a social security account card is no indication tiiat the holder is legally employable under rhiid abor regulations, Mr. Hubert C. Banks manager of the Social Security Board office at Fayetteville, N. C., pointed out today. Reports reaching the Social Security Board indicate that some young people are offering these cards as evidence that they are employable and, in a few isolated S iseSj that employers are accepting em. “The responsibility of an employer under Federal and State laws re garding the hiring of minors is in no way affected by the fact that the applicant for work may hold a social security account card,” Mr. Banks explained, “'This card,” he said, “only means that the holder has had a social security wage ac count set up for him under the Fed eral old-age and survivors insurance system.
