T' An egg is a sealed package, of fine
food when it is laid by the hen. It
is the only product that Nature gives
us that is sealed without the touch
of human hands.
. “However,” points put T. T. Brown,
Extension poultryman of N.tC. State
College, “e^s that bring a premium
. on the market are those that the
consumer desires—eggs that are
fresh, large, clean, uniform in size
and color, and sound in shelL Most
consumers will buy the more pleas
ing-looking product,'^but their con
tinued purchases depend upon the
actual interior quality of the eggs.”
The State College man suggests a
simple home method of determining
.if eggs are fresh. “Place eggs in a
pan of water.” he says, “and the
^good ones will rest fiat on the bottom
of the vessel; those that have lost
.some of their quality will stand on
end; and very poor ones will rise
somewhat. Those that rise are older
or; poorly kept.”
Brown explained that an egg does
■ not have an air cell when it is laid
by the hen. As it cools, the water
evaporates from it and the two sheU
\ membranes at* the large end of the
egg separate and form an air cell.
In hot weather, moisture is. drawn
from the egg, just as water is drawn
from the soil and from all vegetation.
The depth of the air cell is a mea
sure of quality in eggs.
“It is beyond the ability of man
to improve the quality of an egg.”
Brown declared, “but it isXwithin his
ability to maintain that quality
through to the consumer. One of the
most important steps is rapid cooling
of eggs. Eggs, when laid, are about
at the body temperatiu-e of the hen,
■which is 106 degrees. They must be
cooled rapidly to about 68 degrees
to, keep fresh.”

LEGAL NOTICES
I don’t believe that New Yorkers
have any “standard” vacation time.
August is not as popular as it is
down south as a time for getting
away for a holiday. Many New
Yorkers, working for large firms,
have to take their vacation when
they can get it and as a result,
people start going on vacation the
weekend of the fourth of July and
the exodus continue until the first
weekend iii September.
Unfortunate are the early birds
as far as vacation is concerned. One
pathetically disappointed vacationer
told me last week of a two weeks
stay at a northern beach. There were
only about three days of sunshine.
Chill winds whipped in from the
sea and the water was too icy to
permit more than a dash into the
surf and a shivering run back to the
cottage. For the ocean about New
York and New England is seldom
warmed up u^t^ the middle of
Juty and even sometimes in August,
swimming in the suif is compar
able to bathing in the cold salted
water that used to remain after the
operation of an old-time ice cream
freezer.
The solution of this early vacation
problem among many New Yorkers
whom ■ I know has been either to
ms WEEK
DEFENSE
go south, or to completely give
the idea of being Whrm on vacation
and go to Canada.
I believe that southern resorts for
northern vacations are growing in
popularity. Virginia "‘ Bea^, readied
by overnight boat from New York
is extemely popular. Automobiles
excdrisons on the famed Skyline
Drive in Virginia and North Caro
lina are frequently heard of. Sea
Island off the coast of Georgia is
becoming increasingly known in New
York among those who can aff^
a little more expensive vacation. This
year, too, many New York parents
who have boys in ' southern army
camps are combining a visit to the
boys with an interesting southern
tour.
All of which leads up to the point
that you’re going to,get a vacation,
too. For two whole weeks, you won’t
find this column in the .paper, unless
the editor in desperation decides to
reprint a couple of old ones. This
latter would be ah extreme measure
and a possibility to which I do not
believe you should devote too much
worrying time. After all. two weeks
is not such a long time and it will
pass quickly. I know, because it’s
my vacation and it always goes like
greased lightning.

The War Department asked Con
gress for legislation to retain the
National Guard, Reserves and Selec
tees for the duration of the emere-
gency. President Roosevelt told his
press conference that unless Congress
acts the lArmy faces serious disinte
gration.
The President said no violation of
contract or faith would be entailed, in
such extension of service, because
the Selective Service Act had provid
ed for such extension of service by
Congress in the event of a national
emergency.
LEND-LEASE AID
President Roosevelt sent Lend-
Lease Administrator Hopkins to Lon
don for a new survey of British needs,
and assigned two Army generals to
speed the flow of munitions and
^ood to Britain. The Surplus Market
ing Administration purchased 30,-
000,000 pounds of tobacco, 2,544,000
bushels of com and 75,000. bales of
cotton, for shipment aboard under
the Lend-Lease program.
CIVILIAN SUPPLY
The OPACS announced a program
to give preference over other, civi
lian needs to repafr and maintenance
parts for privately-owned automo
biles, trucks, trailers, tractors, house
hold, refrigerators, stoves, ranges ant
water heaters, plumbing fixtures, anc
furnaces, hospital equipment, surgical
instruments and eye-glass frames and
parts.
ALUMINUM COLLECTION
0PM Conservation Chief McCon
nell announced housewives’ donations
of used aluminum ware during the
collection campaign July 21-29 should
permit construction of more than
2,000 additional fighting planes. He
said tests indicated a minimum of
15,000,000 net pounds usable . in
defense manufacture will be collected
in the national Campaign. Civilian
Defense Director LaGuardih said
Treasury Department will direct
shipment of collected material from
concentration points in each state
to the nearest selected smelter.
Price Administrator Henderson said
additional supplies of waste paper
and cardboard are needed for packing
articles -produced by defense indus
tries and Urged that waste paper be
saved by the householders for col
lection by waste dealers.
increase^ wages
The Labor Department announced
weekly earnings of wage earners in
manufacturing industries in May
rose to a new high of $30.69, a rise
of 5 percent since this April and 21
percent over May, 1940. Hourly rates
moved up to an average of 72.6 cents,
a gain of 2.5 percent over April and
9.1 percent over the same month
last year. The Department of Agri
culture reported the general level
of farm wages rose to the highest
level in 11 years on July 1, 60 per
cent above the 1910-14 average.
POWER FOR DEFENSE
President Roosevelt asked Congress
for authority to establish regional or
nation-wide daylight saving time for
all or such parts of the year as
deemed practical. The Federal Power
Commission reported that rainfall
lessened the power shortage in the
Southeast although much more rain
is needed before full usage of energy
can be permitted small consumers.

Farmers all over the State are
using a homemade paint of mortar
coloring and used motor oil on barns
and other outbuildings Some are
getting good results, but others are
dissatisfied, says Howard M. Ellis,
Extension agricultural engineer. He
suggests that some “experimenting”
be done.
“Ordinarily;,” Ellis says, from
three-fourths to one pound of brick
red mortar coloring will be required
for each gallon of used motor oil.
The usual mixture is one pound of
coloring to one gallon of oil. How
ever, the blacker the oil, the more
coloring it will require.
The proper mix should be deter
mined as follows: Divide one pound
of red mortar coloring into four
parts. Place one gallon of burnt
motor oil into a vessel large enough
to permit rapid stirring.
Mix in two parts (one-half pound)
of the coloring, taking care to add
the coloring slowly while the oil is
being stirred to insure a good mix
ture. Then paint a small section,
about two feet square, on the back
of a barn or other building to be
painted.
Add another fourth of the mortar
coldrihg to the original mixture and
paint a second section beside the
first. Add the remaining fourth and
paint a third section.
After allowing the* oil to penet
rate the wood for a short time, ins
pect the three sections and decide
which mix you desire. You are
then ready to mix-a sufficient quan
tity to cover the building.
Ellis says the homemlade paint
can be applied with an old orchard
sprayer or with whitewash brushes.
Mortar coloring may be bought at
most hardware stores for about 6
cents per pound. Crank case drain-
^s may be obtained free from most
fiUmg stations.
' Plaiu for a public-spirited co-
e^)erative effort to increase the con
sumption of fresh peaches during the
perlqd of July 24th through July 30th,
were announced today by Gideon l!
Bateman, Area Supervisor of the
Surplus Marketing Administration,
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
[ He stated that the Georgia asso
ciation of Peach Growers, the South
Carolina Peach Growers Association
and the North Carolina Mutual Peach
Growers Society, who have combined
marketing efforts through the Georgia
Carolina Peach Marketing Board,
are among the co-operating growers’
organizations. The Food Trades
Industry are also cooperating with
the United States Department of
Agriculture in this effort to increase
tRfe home-Qonsumption of fresh
peaches and make the best possible
use of our abundant peach crop.
Fresh peaches in season are one
of the most popular fruits on the
Amwican market,” he said. “This
year’s crop is believed to be the finest
and largest in many years. Fresh
peaches are one of the important
protective foods listed as a “Blue
Stamp Item” by the, Secretary of
Agriculture. It is the aim of the Sur-
Blus Marketing Administration to
aid the growers, consumers and in
dustry of America by encouraging
increased consumption of these need
ed commodities.”
He added that this cooperative
educational campaign will augment
the Food Stamp Plan under which
fresh peaches and other basic health-
pa-otecting foods are av|4ilable to
needy families by means of Food
Stamps, at this time.
One of the aims of the campaign
will be to encourage home canning
and preserving. This is in accord with
the objectives of the National De
fense Conservation and Nutrition
Pfrogram, which urges adequate
food supplies.
Tasty appetizing peaches—so good
to eat and so nutritious, will be the
central attraction on most tables dur
ing the period of July 24th thru July
30th.
During this period the Georgia-
Carolina Peach Marketing Board, and
other organizations of the Peach Pro
ducing Industry, and the Food Trades
Industry of the. South are cooperating
with the U. S. Department of Agri-
culure in a public-spirited campaign
to increase consumption of fresh
peaches by everyone.
Miss Josephine Hall, Home De
monstration Agent, pointed out that
while food is rationed in war-torn
Europe, we in America are faced with
a different but serious problem.
“We are not eating enough of the
basic health-protecting foods of which
there is an abundance in this coun
try,” she said. “More than 40 percent
of our people are actually suffering
from mal-nutrition in this land of
plenty. A^d today, more than ever
before, American needs strong, red-
blooded men, women and children.
“We have always relished peaches
and this delicious fruit now takes a
new rank as a healthful food.
“Recent vitamin research has
revealed that peaches are rich in
A way to kiO “two bugs with one

by J. O. Rowell, Extension entomo
logist of N. C. State College. He has
placed in the hands of cqunty farm
agents a copy of publication whidi
describes control of boll weevils and
cotton aphids with a single poisem
mixture.
The new publication is U. S. De
partment of Agriculture Leaflet No.
E-538, “Dusting for Boll Weevil and
Cotton Aphid Control.” The leaflet
describes a Derris-Calcium Arsenate
mixture , which Government scientists
have found effective for the control
of the two destructive cotton insects.
Rowell said that county agents will
be glad to discuss cotton insect con
trol with farmers, and are in a posi
tion to obtain additional copies of
the new Federal publication. They
also have available copies of the
N. C. State College Extension Folder
No. 45, “Boll Weevil Control.”

In urging all homemakers to eat
more peaches at this time, Gideon

Surplus Marketing Administration,

Conservation and Nutrition program
calls for more home canning and
preserving. Home-canned peaches
provide a splendid supply of basic
health-protecting foods, and a very
thrifty home food supply, too.
