POOLE'S MEDLEY
Br D. SCOTT POOLE
Raeford had its origin in a turpen
tie commissary. John McRae and
Gus Williford, partners in that tur
pentine business, took the last syl.
lale of their names and made Raeford.
W. B. McQueen, now judge of
Hoke's Recorler's court was mail car
rier for several years over this sec
tion of country, supplying several
country postoffices Fontcol over
Drowning Creek being a western
terminal.
I was carrieer for Gas McKenzie
for two weeks in 1881. He was con
tractor for carrying the mails from
Clark's Mills to Keyser, from
Clark's Mill to Cartilage, and from
Clark's Mill to Powellsville 20
miles outh, 20 imiles East, an 20 miles
West 4 days a week.
To drive 20 miles a day, six days a
week would keep a driver busy, and
kill a horse a year. To go the same
route every day, tires both horse
and driver. The monotomy grows
irksome.

Hints for Farm
Homemakers
By RUTH CURRENT
N. C. State College
All these years you have been
eat'ng turnips and turnip greens,
but did you know just how many
vitamins thy contained? Turnip
Greens supply vitamin A, several of
the B-vitamins and vitamin C.
When it canes to turnips, ruta
bagas rate slightly higher in food
value than white turn ps. They
contain no vitamin A but do give
you a generous fupply of vitamin
B-l and vitamin C, riboflavin and
niacin. Rutabagas also are slightly
richer in carbohydrates and miner
als than the white turnips.

Answers Timely
Farm Questions
Q. How many hogs diould the av
erage farmer grow?
A. To reach North Carolina's goal
in pork production the farmer
should keep one or more brood sows
and breed them twice a year. Feed
at least twice as many hogs as are
needed for hame consumption and
sell the surplus. Feeder pigs may
now be bought and raised at a prof
it. Hog feed has advanced 18 per
cent since January, 1942. while the
price of pork has advanced 25 per
cent. Q. How can I prepare a .aap
spray for garden insects
A. Dr. B. B. Fulton, research en
tomologist, N. C. State College, ad
vises that you dissolve one pound of
soap in a gallon of boiling water. If
bar soap is used it should be cut up
so as to dissolve quickly. Add five
gallons of cold water to make six
gallons of spray and apply when the
plants are wet with dew or on a
cloudy day. Worms, plant lice and
terrapin bugs will be killed.
There are many ways of saving
soap which will help in the war ef
fort. Keep soap dry .after each use
and use only as much as is needed
to overcome the hardness of the
water.
Ue a soap shaker for soap scraps
and pour boiling water over them in
a bowl. The resulting jelly kept
near the sink can be used in washing
dishes and clothes.
For the bath, small bits of soap
in a thin bag are just as good as a
large cake of soap. A thin cake can
be pressed onto a larger cake when
both aie wet and the small cake
w ll become a part of the larger one.

War Prisoners
May Be Used To
Produce Food
Washington, Feb. 5. Axis war
prisoners may be used in this coun
try next summer to help produce the
food that Allied fighting men will
need to cru ih the enemy.
J. A. Walker, chief of the labor
branch of the Food Production Ad
ministration, disclosed tolay that
the government was considering
using prisoners captured in Africa
and Europe to help fill agricultural
labor shortages.
Such pricsoners would have to be
used, he said, where they could work
in large groups so that they could
be guarded efficiently. Their use
would be limited largely to cultiva
ting and harvesting commercial veg
etble, canning and fruit crop;.
Walker has been assigned to re
cruiting workers for the record pro
duction goals of the Agriculture De.
partment's wan- food production.
Walked told newsmen that some
farmers have expressel reluctance
to plant more because of a fear
that they would be unable to culti
vate and harvest additional crops.
To uneet the need for full-time
workers, the government pliins, he
said, to recruit 50,000 low.income
and under-productive families in
the marginal areas of the Appalach
ian and Ozark mountains and the
cut-over timber areas of Minnesota
and Wisconsin for placement on
highly productive dairy, livestock
and poultry farms of the middle
west and elsewhere.
The seasonal labor shortage, by
far the worst, will be attacked by
several methods. Besides the pos
sible use of war prisoners, the gov
ernment hopes to recruit at least
275,000 migratory farm workers
from Mexico and other Latin-American
countries.
The government also nfjins to
enlist possibl 3,000,000 town and city
residents for short time seasonal
harvesting operations.
