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. SELL QUALITY EGGS. 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.
