l-KSTIVh: BIRD - Golden brown roast turkey, served on the best platter and surrounded bv holiday peach ambrosia makes a delectable Christmas dinner. The Tar Heel Kitchen By Miss York Kiker N.C. Department of Agriculture Marketing Home Economist Fond memories sunound the Christmas season and often they are tied to traditional and family food favorites. By all means, plan for a beautiful big roast turkey to be served elegantly on your best platter. Southern tradition frequently calls for ambrosia as the favorite dessert for the climax of a hearty meal, but for variety try Holiday Peach Ambrosia as the delectable garnish for the roast turkey. Turkey is an excellent meat buy. Modern day turkeys are fast cooking, have more meat per bone weight, and have more white breast meat available than in earlier days. Choose a whole turkey, turkey roll, roast or parts according to your needs. You will find turkey ranks high in food value and relatively low in calories. A smart planner will want enough turkey to last more than one meal. Extra turkey may be sliced and carefully packaged and frozen for later use. Sometimes the "planned" left ? over turkey is as delicious as the festive bird on Christmas Day. Fond memories are stirred of visits with friends to share in creamed turkey or turkey hash on waffles! Quick and easy creamed turkey will provide tasty eating for your -family as it will at the open house in our test kitchen in the N.C. Department of Agriculture. In my family, soft custard is one of the traditional foods served along with cake and cookies. As a child, we poured custard over orange sections and is still a good idea for you to try. Recipes follow to help with your holidav planning. HOLIDAY PEACH AMBROSIA Present your holiday turkey with real old ? fashioned flair by serving golden peach halves 'filled with a delicious ambrosia.

COUNTY EXTENSION CHAIRMAN Several t ducat ion T.V programs will be coming up on Channel 4 during the month of January that will be of interest to Hoke County people. The first one is on January 12. 1971 from 2:30 ? 3:30 P.M. It is entitled "Your Federal Income Tax" and deals with the changes that was made in the Tax Reform Act of 1969. Viewers can call into the station and ask questions during the last half hour. The second program deals with corn production and also the corn blight. This one is on January 19, 1971 from 2:30 - 3:30 P.M. Chemicals for use in corn production will be discussed during the program. District Court Room, Everyone is invited to come. A tobacco fertilization program should be designed to supply the crop with enough of the different nutrients to grow a good yield of high quality tobacco at an economical cost. Many growers can reduce their fertilizer cost by 25 to 50 percent by carefully selecting the rates and sources of nutrients. The complete use of 3 ? 9 ? 9 for preplan! and sidedressing will cost about $60.00 per acre. The use of I 200 lbs. of 3 -9.9 and 160 lbs. of 15 ? 0 - 14 will cost about S43.00 per acre. Also by using 4)00 lbs of a 4-8-12 plus the 15 ? 0 ? 14 sidedressing you can get out with a cost of about $30.00 per acre. Higher analysis fertilizers such as 6 - 12 ? 18 and 8 ? 16 ? 24 can be used and cost S27.00 and S25.00 for nutrients. All of these combinations give about the same yields and quality of tobacco. Much research is being carried on in the topdressing field and growers will probably be using a 16 ? 0 ? 0 or a 15-0 ? 0 in a few years. Correct management in fertility can save every farmei money in production cost. A program in personnel management for farmers has been developed by the Kxtension Farm Management Specialists. It is designed to acquaint farm employers with the principles of recruiting, training and motivating labor. It has been decided to hold one school for Robeson, Scotland and Hoke County.
