farmers Donate ftftMO; Fail To Get Refunds Many North Carolina farmers lost the "easiest money pf the year," says Extension Farm Man agement Specialist W. L. Turner. In terms of effort required on the part of the farmers involved, says this State College economist, this easy money could have been theirs by the simple procedure of answer ting three questions: name, ad dress, and the number of gallons of gasoline used on the farm. Mr. Turner points out that there are more than 125.000 tractors on farms in North Carolina. But, less than 10,000 Tarheel farmers filed for a refund on gasoline used on farms during the first six months of 1986. Mr. Turner says this situa tion was called to his attention by 'officials of the Internal Revenue Service in Greensboro. He reports that they were ex pecting many times the number of claims for refunds than were ac tually received. Turner believes it cah be safely estimated that several hundred thousand dollars were lost by far mers in North Carolina by their failure to file claim for this re fund on federal taxes on gasoline and other motor fuels used in their farming operations. Wise tax management is part of being a good farm manager, says Mr. Turner. Farmers will cer tainly want to take this opportun ity in the coming year, as federal taxes on gasoline have since been increased from two to three cents a gallon. The income refunds from the government belong to the farmer, states Mr. Turner. They are just as good as income received from the sale of farm products. In this day of rising farm costs and dwindling farm income, Mr. Tur ner believes that many farmers will find it to their advantage to keep appropriate records so they wijl be able to take advantage of the gasoline refund in the future. Amateur Says Troll for Ducks An experienced duck hunter was sitting in his blind one foggy day, when he heard a series of ama teurish squawks on a duck call. He didn't pay much attention Hi this disturbance, until he no ced that the noise (that's the best way to describe it) was coming closer. Looking out of his blind, he was shocked to see a lone hunter in a boat, slowly rowing along. The hunter would stroke with the oars, scanning the sky for an approach ing flight of waterfowl, and then he would raise his head and make another squawk on his duck call. And, bobbing along in the wake of his boat was a string of 50 de coys, all tied together on one long cord. Puzzled at the sight, the man in the blind asked, "What are you doing?" The tyro ia the boat replied, "There didn't seem to be many ducks on the other end of the lake, so I thought I'd try trolling for them." HUNTER'S DOPE Presuming that hunters are also fishermen ? here's some good news for you all.

Even Good Citizens Land in Jail Raleigh- They may have a place for you- in the county jail. You had better hope it is at least a clean and decent place to stay un til you can get released. ! Suddenly and unexpetedly you may find yourself there- in one of North Carolina's county jails. $ut, you say, you are not going to be put in jail; you are a pretty good citizen. The records show that many a good citizen has gone to jail. Here are a few typical instances (you may be among them some day). You are on an automobile trip far away from home and become invplved in a serious accident where someone is injured. You do not have sufficient money with you to put up a bond and it may be impossible for you to contact any friend ? into jail you go. Or, you are in a distant com munity?you look like some per son wanted by the authorities for a criminal offense in another state ? you may be lodged in jail and held on suspicion until you can clear yourself by proper identifi cation. Or, you are a diabetic and driv ing your car while undergoing an attack which makes you drive er ratically because of dizziness. Some officer puts you in jail for driving while intoxicated. You will stay there until the matter is straight ened out. Or, you may attend some gay party and drive home when you are actually under the influence of alcohol? you may land in jail and remain there until you clear up. This sort of situation happens too frequently for the average good citizen to remain uncon cerned about the conditions in North Carolina's jails. Fortunately much has been done and is being done to improve county and city jails in the State. Over the past six years, here are some of the improvements that have been brought about, ac cording to the records of the Stat* Board of Public Welfare, which supervises these facilities under State law. Eight new county jails have been built; nine county jails have been remodeled; 16 county jails have undergone major repairs and have been reconditioned; one new coun ty jail is under constructiqn; and three county jails are now in the blueprint stage with money avail able for completion of planned im- 1 provements. Sixteen new town and city jails have been built and 18 have un- j dergone major repairs and reeon- 1 ditioning. One town jail is under j construction. Unsatisfactory jails in the state have been closed during this six year period. A total of 59 town and 1 city jails and five county ? jails . have been closed. The city and county jails of the state are inspected periodically by Thomas A. Early, inspector of cor rectional institutions for the State Board of Public Welfare. A full report of the conditions found in the jail including physical aspect*, j staffing, safety, food, cleanliness, ? etc. is made to the appropriate city or county Officials after cach ' inspection. Recommendations for improve- 1 ment are a part of the report sub mitted. Personal conferences with sheriffs, jailers, county commis sioners, and judges are frequent as progress is being made toward some needed improvement. Dr. Ellen Winston, commission er of the State Board of Public Welfare, has this to say about the progress in jail improvement, "County, town, and city officials have cooperated in a way which has made the progress in jail con struction and improvement in North Carolina a matter of pride. "Though not all county and city jails are yet brought up to the level they should be to meet mod ern standards, much progress has been made. The harmonious work ing relationships between the State Board of Public Welfare and the local officials give promise of con tinued improvement." Steam Locomotive Turns Into Item for Museum By EDWARD S. KITCH Chicago (AP) ? The old "iron horse" is running out of steam. Trains magazine says U.S. steam locomotives have dwindled from almost 39,000 in 1945 to less than 5,000. Diesel power continues to re place steam. Some 338 dicscl units are now on order. But railroad fans have made sure the steam locomotive won't disappear. At least 275 have been mounted in parks, museums and other sites from Waterville, Maine, to San Diego, Calif. TJie Henry Ford Museum has qine steam engines at Dearborn, Mich. Among them is a 2-6-0 Nord of 1889, a. narrow-gauge engine used in French efforts to build the Panama Canal. Another is a 2-8-0 Grant of 1865 The woodburn er was rebuilt by Ford in 1923. At Shiloh, La., railroad enthus iasts can see 20 engines preserved by Paulsen Spence, president of a sand and gravel company. A handful of engines are in use, switching in the gravel pit. Most of them, however, are stored. The Museum of Transport in St. Louis, Mo. has several locomotives. It it open from May 15 through Oct. 1. At AltamAsa. Colo, railroad fans have retired narrow-gauge equip ment. The growing collection in cludes R. G. S. Galloping Goose models and I 4-6-0 ex-Florence and CriBPle Creek locsrootive loaned by th.e Rqeky Mountain Railroad Club. The Transportation Museum of The Baltimore and Ohio R.R. In Baltimore, Md , is one of the few railroad sponsored museums. The line's first locomotive an "Atlantic" 0-4-0 type of 1832 is among locomotives shown there. At Griffith Park, Los Angeles, Calif., the children have a play ground with 11 ancient steam loco motives. Among them is old Num ber One, the Stockton Termiaal apd Eastern Railroad's 4-4-0. It is billed as the oldest active engine in the United States. Near South Carver, Hast , F.da ville is operated by F. Nelson Blount. His 7-mile, 2-foot gauge railroad line has 14 coaches, 4 passenger-carrying flats, 3 cabooses and 4 locomotives. Knott's Berry Firm at Buena Park, Calif , recreates a railroad af the Old W*st. Its narrow-gauge line li powered by steam locomo tives once used on tha Rio Grande Southern Railroad. In San Gabriel, Calif., Grlaly Flats is under the direction of W(U Disney ind Ward Kimball, Jan -trombonist. Their narrow-1 gauge line features the Emma Ne vada. a 2 6 0 of the Nevada Central Railroad. At Pine Creek, four miles north of Freehold, N. J., a 3 foot-gauge road includes a Vi-mile track and a 1925 Baldwin, a 0-4-0 type (mean ing its running gear consists only of four drive wheels with no smaller wheels in front or back). Bail City, Sandy Pond, N. Y.t runs its J % miles of track from Memorial Day through Labor Day. It features narrow gauge equip ment. Railroad men expect more equipment museums will be es tablished in the future. Fifteen roads are preserving 38 rare loco | motives for exhibition purposes. Only one railroad on the Ameri can continent operates a rolling railroad museum. The Canadian National moves its three engines, plus six old passenger cars, under the power of the ex-Grand Trunk Mogul, known as number 674, ? 2-6-0 model, as a sort of mobile museum. Traffic Court it Graced By Distinguished Names Charleston, W. Va. (AP) ? The distinguished names of Benjamin Franklin and Oliver Wendell Holmes graced the traffic court docket on the same day. Franklin failed to show up, and Judge James McWhorter ordered a bench warrant issued. Holmes was fined $36 for speeding, op erating a car without lighta and running through two stop signs.

W#yne and Opal Judy of Inter national Falls, Minnesota, set forth instructions for skinning ducks. Their reasons for removing the skin are five. First, in the case of early-sea son ducks which are invariably in the pin-feather stage, there are feathers under the skin which arc impossible to remove by any wax- j ing or plucking method yet do- j vised. Secondly, ducks badly shot up have feathers under the skin which cannot be seen unless skinning is accomplished. Also, if ducks are ' to be frozen for a long period of time, the layer o? fat directly un derneath the skin will turn rancid, imparting a strong "wild" flavor to the entire duck. This layer al ways adheres to the skin, and when the skin is removed, so also is the fat. Another reason for skinning is to remove the fishy or strong taste of certain species, and lastly, be cause skinning is faster, easier and cleaner than ^plucking. The first step, of course, is the | actual skinning. After you've sev ered the wings and legs at the | joints, insert a knife under the ! skin of the breast and cut down : the center. Feel the skin away, helping it separate from the flesh with a razor. When the skin is o/f. re move the entrails and wash inside and out well. Clean each shot hole individually. Then comes the important soak- j ing. Lace a pan of water with I about two tablespoons of salt and one of soda for each gallon of water. Let the ducks soak for at least 10 hours. This will draw out the gamy taste. You can be generous with the ingredients since washing in cold water will remove any salt or soda taste. Now the ducks are ready to be cooked or frozen.
