THE NEWS-JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C. PAGE THREE THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1M4 Serve An Extra Roasting Chicken Many poultrymen have been unable to move fryers at a reasonable price and a surplus of excellent roasting chickens, weighing around 4 to S pounds, has developed in North Caro lina. Housewives have been asked to serve an extra roaster a week and help clear up this surplus. In discussing the best methods of roasting chicken. Miss Mary E. Thomas, Extinsion nutritionist at State College, said that "when get ting the dressed bird ready for the oven, rub the cavity with salt. Place enough well-seasoned dressing in the neck end to fill it out nicely and fasten the neck skin with a skewer. "Then stuff the body cavity with dressing but do not pack it. Close the opening by placing small skewers across the opening and then lacing twine around them. When the chicken is done, the skewers are pulled out and the twine lifted off. "To prevent the thinner portions from getting done before the thicker portions are thoroughly cooked ,the legs and wings should be pushed close to the body and held there with twine. Then, brush the bird with melted, unsalted fat. "Place the chicken In a shallow pan on a rack, breast down. Cover with a cloth dipped in melted fat. Roast in a moderate oven of 325 to 350 degrees, allowing 30 to 40 minutes to the pound. When about half done, turn the chicken breast up, with cloth replaced over breast, and continue cooking until the drumstick meat is very soft, when pressed between the fingers. "Slow cooking develops every bit of flavor, makes the meat delicately tender, and keeps the Juices in. Roast ing in the modern manner means to add no water to the pan, cook un covered except for the fat-moistened cloth, and cook in a moderate oven." O Any farmer may slaughter and de liver the meat from any number of livestock owned by him without license or permit or making any re port to the Federal Government, says the WFA.

Hawley, Jr., President " New York State Farm Bureau Federation TN CHECKING figures of the Farm Credit Administration, I find that farmers are paying off mortgages faster than at any oth er period in the history of the Fed eral Land Bank. At the same time, farmers are building up cash reserves, but the wise investment of this money is an extremely hard job for farm ers to undertake. The temptation is to try and obtain as high an interest rate as possible. Many of us see no reason why we should not get as much inter est on our money now as we had to pay the bank when we were forced to borrow during the de pression. The answer is that today money Is cheap "expanded", as the bankers express it. Therefore in terest rates are low except in very speculative securities. Nat urally no farmer wants to risk losing his hard earned ca3h. We farmers know our own busi ness and we can invest money in it safelv because we understand it. However, when we branch off L Into other fields, especially the highly technical field of invest ments, most of us encounter sad experiences. In these days it is virtually Im possible for farmers to put their surplus cash back into the farm. War-time conditions prevent us from repairing buildings, and buy ing new machinery, automobiles, trucks and other equipment we must eventually have if we are going to stay in business. So the smart thing for farmers to do is to invest their surplus money In War Bonds where it Is as safe as a dollar bill. These bonds increase in value the longer they are held; they can be cashed after sixty days in ease of need, and they will provide a reserve for in vestment after the war in the business the farmers know best the business of farming. I confidently predict that if farmers will do this, the dawn of peace will signalize a new day for agriculture. U. S.

It is too good to leave lying around, so I want you all to read it. "DEAR MOM " Dear Mom: You know, Mom, people who are born and have lived all their lives in America sometimes lose sight of a lot of things and it takes a good healthy look at a foreign land to bring home the full meaning of be ing an American citizen. I confess that I am one of those who has always taken home pretty much for granted. Of course, we all miss lots of lit tle things, like a chocolate soda at the corner drug store, or a date with our girl and moonlight ride in the old jalopy, or the Saturday night dance at the Inn on the highway lead ing out of town. Those things are pretty ir.uch always in our minds, but somethimes we stop and think long enough to realize that there are i iPIVltiJsf.l J THE FASTEST GROWING MAJOR FLUE-CURED MARKET IN ENTIRE NATION WATCH THE SWING To The era THE M G) Ml 10) Tobacco lift M a r ke t other things, vastly more important, which make America great and have made her the envy of the rest of the world. For instance, when I go to the church services held by our Army chaplain here, I know that all the folks back home will be going to church too. I know that every per son in America, be he Protestant, Jew or Catholic, can go to his church or synagogue any time or wherever he wishes. But religious freedom is an old standby at home, but in lots of places this is not the case. Back in school we used to hear a lot about a document called "The Bill of Rights." It used to be In all the history books, and we were all required to learn all of the important parts of it. We know too. Mom, that all of these rights are being preserved for us, and that they will be secure when we finally. get back. But sometimes I wonder if the fel lows over here, and those fighting for their country all over the world, are going to be absolutely satisfied to have things just the same way they were before all this mess started. Oh, we still want the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, all right. But a !ot of us can't help feeling that there was something radically wrong some where, which caused the world in senerrJ, and the U. S. in particular. j to set into the awful .mess they are in . ri?,ht now. ?,I:iybe there should be a ! W.-r!d ni'.'

Glezener, as sistant county agent in charge of poul try in Chatham County, reports that Palmer Fox of Siler City, Route 1, has dug a 10 by 12 foot cellar under his feed room. Fox has noted that whereas the temperatures ranged from 20 to 100 degrees during the year in the feed room, the tempera tures in the egg cellar varied from 40 to 75 degrees. The diffeience between the high and low temperatures in the cellar was 35 degrees as com pared with 80 degrees in the feed room. "Fox realizes that keeping eggs as near 60 degrees as possible is essential for good hatching," says Ghazener. QUESTION: Can I gauge the ferti. lity of soil by the weeds that are growing on it? ANSWER: Yes, say specialists at State College. On poor land you will find such weeds as bear grass, bitter weed, bracted plantain, proverty eat grass, buckhorn, cinquefoil, golden rod, Green brier, mustard, oxeye daisy, pineweed, rabbit clover, rough buttonweed, sand spur, sheep sorrel, and yellow weed. QUESTION: What are the best varieties of small grains for the upper Piedmont section of North Carolina? ANSWER: We suggest that you write the N. C. Crop Improvement Association, State College, Raleigh for a copy of Agronomy Information Circular No. 136. This publication gives results of official variety tests on wheat, barley, and oats by the Agricultural Experiment Station. The tests were conructed at Swannanoa, Greensboro, Fallston, Rocky Mount, Raeford, and Richlands.

I remember Da a saia "This war will mark a new era jn American history," If Dad was r'jht, then one of the changes should be that no veteran of this war will have to sell apples on the street, like last time. A lot of people back home seem to be worried. '5 j Momn, about the vast political power tne vets of tms w"sr will wield: but we over here aren't worried. We don't want to make any revolutionary changes in the American way. All we want is a chance to work and that means having a Job. We want to settle back into the American landscape again as soon as possible, and we don't want anybody to try and delay the process. Dad was right, there will be a lot ot changes made when this war is over, and it will be Our job to see that they are all changes for the good. Someone, I think it was the Vice President, said "this is tha century of the common man." I hope he is I right because if he is then America, ' .. . u : u i 1 u .u . . . wiui.il lias always uccu uic rciuge VI the common man, the place where the common man could become the presi dent of a railroad, or a bank, or even of the United States, will surely be in the lead in building a world based on economic security, and resulting in a thousand years of peace for all of the suffering masses of the world.

Cronemyer spent her vacation at home due to transportation dif ficulties but refused to pass up con ventionality.

Tips On Planting Winter Legumes Winter legumes should be planted after such crops as tobacco, truck, soybeans, or cowpea and lespedeza hays, says Enos Blair, Extension agronomist at N. C. State Colleg. He suggests that the soil be disced to a depth of 4 Inches, rather than plowed. and that the crops be drilled rather tnan Droaacast. Drilling distributes the seed more evenly, saves seed, and often gives a good stand in dry weather where other methods of seding fail. Blair recommends that crimson clover be drilled about 1-2 inch deep as with lespedeza. Vetch and Austrian winter peas can be covered about 1 1.2 to 2 inches deep as with small grain. "It is impossible to prepare a seed bed and plant winter legumes on time after such late maturing crops as corn, cotton, and peanuts," says Blair. We can, however, resort to planting between the rows of the standing crop. "In the mountains a very successful practice is to broadcast the seed be tween corn rows at laying-by time. Vetch and Austrian winter peas are broadcast before the cultivator and crimson clover behind it, so that it will not be covered too deep. Layinc-by time in the Piedmont an j Costal Plain is too early for these seed to be sown but this method can be followed about September 1. "Crimson clover should be covered with a very light harrow Instead of a cultivator. In ridged crops the seeds may be broadcast and followed with a middle burster or 'cotton plow. This has the effect of planting two rows of seed on each cotton or corn ridge. "A still better way is to use a one horse open furrow drill, that plant three rows in each middle. This Im plement, however, covers the aeed too deep to be used for crimson clover. A corn planter can be used in planting a row of vetch or peas in each middle of peanuts, ,
