Antioch News The Men of the Church of the Antioch Presbyterian Chiurch enter tained around seventy soldiers from Fort Bragg at their Jime meeting. The Auxiliary served a bountiful fried chicken supper to the soldiers and the local men. Then followed a devotional by Mr. Willie Hodgin, a most appropriate and interesting speech by Mr. Lee of Red Springs, the singing of a group of hyinns and old Southern songs led by Mrs. Poole on the piano-accordion, and then a splendid program of games enthus- istically led by Miss Hall of Raeford. Cards with a little message of infor mation about the hostess church were passed out to the soldiers on which they wrote personal message to par ents and friends, the cards then col lected and mailed. It is very grati fying to the church to receive res ponses from the soldiers’ homefolks in answer to these cards expressing thankfulness for the courtesies being shown sons away from home in the army. Chaplain and Mrs. Graunsteia accompanied this group to Antioch and were highly complimentary of the efficiency and high type of enter tainment with which the evening’s program was handled and filled. Antioch expects to have another gro up of soldiers out before long. Inci- dentaly, and very important, was the sweet graciousness of the womm in making the soldiers feel at home, and the willingness of the local girls to do their part in helping the boys enjoy the evening. Farmers Serve Nation And Selves By Growing Food—^Miss Holleman Farm families who have little money can’t afford to buy all the food they need for a good diet, but they can afford to ^ow it. Miss Holleman, home management super visor for the Farm Security Admin istration, said in discussing the part farm families have to play in the nation-wide drive to assure ample food supplies for the United States and other countries resisting aggres sion. “Fact is,” Miss Holleman said, “they can’t afford not to maintain cows to furnish a year-round supply of milk, cream, and butter; to raise enough chickens to provide rneat and eggs all year, instead of just a few months in the spring, and to produce a variety of animals for the other kinds of meat, including pork, beef, and lamb.” “Farm families in Hoke county being assisted in their farm and home operations by this agency of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture are learning that they can have more food and better food for less money by raising bigger gardens, increasing their poultry flocks, and feeding a few livestock for home consumption,” Miss polleman de clared. Miss Holleman said that although borrowers of the FSA have | always followed a live-at-home plan and grown most of their food and feed on the farm, a majority of them are planning to produce more than ever this year. They expect to take full advantage of the opportunity to re duce their own living expenses, im prove their diet, and at the same time produce additional quanities to meet the national needs for greater sup plies. The home supervisor believes that FSA borrowers in this coimty are in full accord with a recent statement made by Secretary of Agriculture Wickard in which he announced a nation-wide drive to produce every possible egg from present laying flocks this spring and summer. This effort is a part of the nation's determination to assure ample food supplies for this and other countries during the present emergency. It should, according to Department officials, increase egg production for the whole country in the next fifteen months by about six per cent. State Colley Answers Timely Farm Qaestions Question—^When should corn and sorghum be cut for silage? Answer—^Dairy specialists of the State College Extension Service say that crops should be cut for silage when they contain the maximum feed nutrients and at the same time have sufficient moisture to pack weU in the silo. With com, the grain should be denting and the shuck slightly yeUow. This stage of matu rity is reached about a week or ten days before the com is ready to cut and shock. Sorghum should be cut when the seed in the head are firm. Bobby McBryde and Joe Poole represented ttie Antioch 4-H club at Camp Millstone last week. They re port a wonderful time. Mr. Knowles, Miss Hall, and the counseUors are to be praised for their fine work in handling the varied program dt the camp. Those who have never visited Camp Millstone should do so. It is in one of nature’s choicest beauty spots and the government has built all necessary buildings for the effi cient and comfortable running of the camp. Question—^What types of vege tables can be put up with a hot water canner? Answer—Only* vegetables and fmits . which are“acid” and can be safely preserved at a boiling tem perature, 212 degrees F., may be canned with a hot water canner, says Mrs^. Cornelia C. Morris, Ex tension foM conservation specialist. This list includes tomatoes, fruits, freshly-gatb^ed, young, tender str ing beans, and a pre-cooked soup mixture conteining a large proportion of tomatoes. Such non-acid products as com, peas, beans, spinach, okra and quash reqhire a pressure canner.

Answer—Except fo^ the Mountain section, the best results are usually secured by seeding grass in the early fall. John H. Harris, Extension land scape specialist of N- C. State College, says even in the mountains nt eleva tion of less than 2,500 feet, the best time to seed a lawn is in the early fall. By seeding in the fall, tiie grass will generaUy {become well establish ed before winter, and in the spring will have a good start on weeds and undesirable grasses.
