HA I.I ' MAST - could be said that llpchurch School was flying its flag at halfmast on Veterans Day to honor the war dead but it
was not intended that way. I he true fact is that something writ wrong and that it as high as the flag riser could make it go. In
recent years I eterans Day is set aside and observed in honor of all veterans of all wars. ( Work seen in progress across the road is a
project to widen the entrance of the mill cut - off where it enters the Highway 211 by-pass in front of the school.)

Acid Soils
Statewide
Name one thing that the
Mountains, Piedmont and
Coastal Plain of North Carolina
have in common.
If your answer is "acid soils"
you are right.
An analysis of 127,000 soil
samples tested by the N.C.
Department of Agriculture
between 13 and 1965 shows
that acid soils are a problem in
North Carolina from the
mountains to the sea.
The seriousness of soil
acidity varies slightly from
region to region and from crop
to crop, but the problem is
statewide.
Dr. Preston Reid, director of
the Soil Testing Laboratory,
reported that 57 per cent of
the soil samples analyzed
during the three year period
showed the need for lime.
"I suspect the acidity
problem is even worse than the
by Jn Chrlatenaaa
SWEET THINGS
No doubt about it: 2,800
jars of jams, jellies and
preserves are a lot of "sweet
things."
And according to Mrs. Floy
G. Garner, home economics
Extension agent,
"Homemakcrs in Carteret
County brought that many
half-pint jars at one lime this
summer and still ran out."
The bountiful crop of fruits
and berries set the stage lor
homemakcrs and 4-H'ers lo
engage in daily food
conservation, the agent
observes.
In addition to preserving for
home use and for gilts,
rcpoilcd sales amount to
$54') .60 thus far, and orders
are still being filled.

Hog-Killing Time
Can't Be Far Off
The first ice in the water
trough is a sure sign that
hog-killing time is just around
the corner, lhat means fresh
sausage, tenderloin and maybe
a treat of hog jowl, backbone,
or spare ribs.
Sometimes next summer,
about tobacco barning time, it
will also mean country ham on

Problem
57 per cent would indicate,"
commented Dr. Jack Baird.
"Soil samples are usually taken
by better farmers. If all
cropland were sampled we
would probably find that 60 to
80 per cent of it needed lime."
Soil test information shows
that over 60 per cent of the
corn, soybean, flue-cured
tobacco and forage crop
acreage in the state needs lime.
Over 50 per cent of the small
grain, cotton and vegetable
crops could benefit from lime.
And over 40 per cent of the
peanut and pasture acreage
needs more lime.
To bring all of this cropland
up to the best pH level for top
farm profits would require
about 2,700,000 tons of lime
immediately, or about three
times as much as farmers now
apply annually.
DEEDS
said, "Mastering the preserving
techniques has been a
rewarding experience for me
and my family. We are
enjoying the improved quality
and wondering now why we
wasted lime and materials last
year."
I want to help other
home makers improve their
techniques so that they, too,
may enjoy the full rewards that
come from quality products,
she added.

the table.
The secret to the enjoyment
of that food delicacy is in the
curing.
North Carolina farmers use
three primary methods of
curing meat. They are shelf
cure, pack cure and wrap cure.
All give satisfactory results, but
shelf cure gives a more uniform
cure.
Food science specialists at
North Carolina State
University have prepared a
16-page booklet, which
provides detailed instructions
for curing hams, from selecting
the hog to aging the ham.
They suggest using a mix of
eight pounds of salt, three
pounds of sugar and three
ounces of saltpeter for the
sugar cure. A straight salt cure
gives good results, also.
Sugar gives a more desirable
color and helps keep the ham
from becoming quite so hard
during aging. Saltpeter gives
the bright red color to the lean
and helps produce that good
red gravy that goes well with a
meal of country ham.
The mix is applied to the
meat as soon as it's cut after
chilling. Use -Yt pounds of
mix per pound of ham. Rub
the curing mix on the ham at
three different times. The first
application is made when the
meat is cut and ready to go on
the shelf. The second
application is made on the
third day and the third
application on the 10th day.
Also, be sure to rub some
curing mix in the shank end at
each application. Hard rubbing
is not required.
Ideal temperatures for shelf
curing are from 36 to 40
degrees. If the temperature
goes above 50 degrees for any
length of time, there is a
chance of spoilage.
For 1 5 -pound hams, cure
two days per pound; 20-pound
hams, cure l- days per
pound: 25-pound hams, cure
I -Vi dayi per pound. For each
day the temperature averages
below freezing during the
curing process, add an extra
dav to the curing schedule.
They may be smoked to
improve appearance, but this
should not be done until l he
salt has had time to equalize
throughout the piece of meat.
If hams are not to be smoked,
just brush off excess cure at
the end of I lie curing schedule.
Hang the hams in a clean,
tightly woven cotton bag by
stung fixed in the ham shank.
Fill the space between the ham
and bag with crumpled
newspaper. Do not let the ham
touch the bag at any place. Tie
the bag securely and hang Hie
ham by the string fixed lo the
shank and not that fixed to the
hag.

Polyester Is
A Polyester
RALEIGH - No matter
whether it goes under the trade
name of Dacron, Kodel,
Vycron or Forlrel, a polyester
is a polyester.
Polyester is the family name
for a whole group of fibers,
Mrs. Ruby Miller, extension
clothing specialist. North
Carolina State University,
points out. And all members of
that "family" need the same
washday care.
For example, all polyesters
have wet and dry wrinkle
resistance. This means they
won't become any more
wrinkled wet than dry;
provided the garment is not
wrung during the washing
process.
A garment made with a
blend of half polyester will
hold pleats and creases that are
pressed into it exceptionally
well.
Another plus for the
polyester group is its wicking
action. Perspiration can come
through the fabric and
evaporate on the surface.
Depending on the weave of the
fabric, this can mean a
comfortable garment on warm
days.
Polyesters have superior
wash and wear performance,
too, says Mrs. Miller. However,
don't allow oily stains to set
for more than 24 hours.
Pretreat stains immediately
even though you don't plan to
wash the garment right away.
Pretreat the neckline with a
liquid heavy-duty synthetic
degergent just before washing.
Rinse, allowing soil to How off
the surface, then follow regular
washing procedure.
Another point to remember
is that chlorine bleach doesn't
make polyesters white, the
specialist explains. After
repeated washing, white
polyester fabrics may begin to
yellow. This happens because
they pick up and hold stains,
such as bacon grease, salad oil
and body oil. The only cure is
reconditioning or stripping.
Wash polyester fabrics in
moderately warm water, using
a light agitation action in the
washer. Drip-dry or spin in
cool dryer. Remove from dryer
immediately. Hang and
straighten garment, seams and
collar.

Demonstrate Mon.
For Veterans Day
Sandhills Community

of the white pillared
Administiation Building in a
chill wind for a flag-raising

Vererans who have fought for
and defended the United Sattes

with the national anthem sung
by the 90-voice Sandhills
College Concert Choir under
the direction of McKellar Israel
of the department of music.
Dr. Raymond A. Stone,
president of Sandhills College,
an enlisted man in the United
Stales Navy in World War II,
spoke briefly following the
raising of the stars and stripes
and the flag of North Carolina.
The ceremony was
sponsored by JO Student
Veterans Association of
Sandhills College who have
served in the Armed Forces, a
number of them were combat
veterans of Vietnam. For the
special occasion Ihey wore
their uniforms -- those of the
Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air
Force and Coast Guard.
Eugene A. Watts, a retired
Army Colonel, now an
instructor at Sandhills, is the
faculty advisor to the Studnct
Veieiims.
