Mrs. G. T. Spivey Will
Take United Nations Tour
By MARTHA BARNETT
Home Agent
Mrs. G. T Spivey, Beaufort, will
represent Carteret County in the
1954 United Nations Tour to Wash
ington and New York, Oct. 4-0. Mrs.
Spivey is a member of the Bettie
Home Demonstration Club.
Through sending a delegate on this
tour, club members hope to gain
more knowledge of the United
Nations and International affairs.
Oct. 4 9 is an important week for
Home Demonstration Club mem
bers in Carteret County. This week
is Fair Week and offers homemak
ers a chance to exhibit their best
work. Individual exhibits of gar
den products, fancy work, canning,
sewing, flowers, crafts, and baked
goods are always needed.
Home Demonstration Clubs are
offered prizes for four educational
booths. Any club wishing to enter
a booth should discuss plans at
their September club meeting.
State Fair, Oct. 1923 is another
opportunity for homemakers to ex
hibit their best canning, pickles,
jam, jelly, cakes, dresses, needle
work. Carteret County should be
well represented with individual
exhibits this year. Substantial
prizes are offered in all fields.
A day at State Fair offers an op
portunity to see new and better
ways of doing work, improving
skills and increasing knowledge.
It can also be a day of recreation
and fun. Plan to send an exhibit
and go this year to North Carolina
State Fair, Raleigh, Oct. 19-23.
Many questions are asked about
how to keep cut flowers as long as
possible. Mr. John Harris, in ;
charge of extension horticulture,
gives the following list of nine
suggestions. Perhaps club mem
bers will find some of these sugges
tions helpful.
(1) Cut your flowers with a ,
sharp knife in late afternoon.
(2) Be sure your container in
which you are to arrange the flow
ers is thoroughly scoured, even
sterilized, because scum (bacteria)
clog up the stems and cut down on
water absorption.
(3) Copper containers work j
good because they give off small 1
amounts of copper which help keep l
down bacteria. Copper wire in 1
other type containers will help in
the same way. ]
(4) Plants absorb most of their
water through the cut end. There- 1
fore it makes little difference with |
most flowers how dfeep the stem i* 1
in the water. Make a sloping cut ?
so the water can enter the stems. <
Pin cushion type holders may stop 1
up part of the stem arid thus pre- t
vent some water absorption. <
(5) Don't allow leaves to stay
in water. They soon decay and
foul up the water.
(6) The cutting of stems under
water helps with some plants, oth
ers show no effect.
(7) Most writers agree that
dahlia, poinscttia, hollyhock, heli
otrope and poppy keep better if
cut end of stems are burned before
placing in water.
(8) Keep : our flowers out of
drafts and as cool as possible, espe
cially when first cut.
(9) All kinds of materials were
recommended for putting in the
water. 1 haven't space to list them
all. The commercial preparations
available from your florist usually
contain several materials and
should be satisfactory.
One home mixture consists of 2
teaspoonfuls sugar, V2 teaspoonful
clorox, and 1 pinch ferric oxide
(iron rust) in 1 quart of water.
Thomas B. Morris, extension
poultry specialist, gives us the fol
lowing September poultry remind
ers. Why not keep this list and
check it as things are done. For
home flock, the lame principals ap
ply.
(1) Never house pullets with
old hens. If possible, keep the old
hens (if 50 per cent lay) now that
egg prices are favorable.
(2) Keep good records and
know your flock. Record keeping
is easy and will only take a few
minutes each day to jot down the
eggs laid, number sold and price
received, and feed cost.
If you raised your pullets on a
good range, compare your flock
record with a neighbor that raised
his pullets in confinement. Ac
cording to tests at the Ohio Experi
ment Station, they found that pul
lets raised on range has 10 per cent
less mortality and laid 5 per cent
more eggs than pullets raised in
confinement.
(3) Make plans now for a graz
ing crop that will help to lower
the cost of raising pullets next
year. See your County Agent for
details.
(4) Put on a campaign to rid
your poultry farm of rats. They
can eat and waste a lot of feed,
but will not lay any eggs. Accord
ing to the USDA, rats eat or waste
about $2 worth of feed and destroy
about $20 worth of property each
year. They are carriers of 27
known diseases, including typhoid
fever, bubonic plague, and tular
emia.
(4) Build a disposal pit for
dead birds. Plans for a pit are
available from your county agent's
office. A disposal pit can save
time, labor, and may prevent a dis
ease outbreak on your farm or your
neighbor's.
(6) Provide four hoppers, six
feet long, for each 100 birds. Ex
perimental work has shown that, if
a flock has 48 lineal feet of feed i
space they will lay more eggs and I
fewer birds will need to be culled.
(7) Provide grit and shell feed
ers. Experimental work in Canada
has found that hens fed insoluble
grit along with oyster shells pro
duced eggs with stronger shells.
(8) Control egg breakage by
providing adequate nests, with
clean material and gather four to
five times a day. You should not
have over 1 per cent breakage.

English Play Titles
Were Long, Says Prof
New Haven, Conn. (AP) ? A
Vale University lecturer told an
audience that back in 1954, a play
with this title (try it on today's
theater marquee) was produced in
England.
"The First Part of the Contention
Betwixt the Two Famous Houses of
Vorke and Lancaster, with the
Death of the Good Duke Hum
phrey; and the Banishment and
Death of the Duke of Suffolke;
and the Tragical! End of the Proud
