A Partnership Ss -* Entered a* second-class matter November 11th, 1936, at the , Post Office, at Burnsville, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. HOME CANNERS PLAN TO SAVE MORE FOOD With about 400,000 steam pressure canners and 500,- 000 water bath canners to be produced in 1944, the home conservation of veg etables and fruits should reach new heights this! year and help to overcome, the shortage of cbmmer-' cially canned foods, says Mary Lee McAllister, Ex tension Economist in Food; Conservation at State Col lege. She points that glass' jars and tops manufactur ed for home canning this year will be of ..the same types as last year. Since! .. zinc supplies are more am ple now, the familiar por celain-lined zinc lid that fits standard mason-size jars will be manufactured again. Then too, manufacturers of the commercial “6v” jarg promise well-distribut ed supplies of metal seal-: ing disks to fit jars with' this smaller-sized mouth. When these jars that are suitable for re-use in home canning are saved, it is al so necessary to save thej metal screw caps that ori-; ginally came on the jars. The jar cap must be screw ed down over a new, flat metal disk to complete the home canning seal And, the rubber jar rings for 1944 will be made of reclaimed rubber and syn theticsr~~Nu —crude rubber: will go into jar rings this year. These wartime rings require somewhat different handling from that recom mended in prewar years, Mrs. McAllister points out “To can food at home in tin calls for a, can sealing machine, she says. The families who own such seaf ers will in all likelihood be able to buy plenty of tin cans, because no limit is set on the manufacture o f them for home canning. - THE POCK ETBOOKi of KNOWLEDGE I L -- . 1 i , HA6 JUST IWSTITUISP THE V 1 “I 5 FR6 T COAST-TO-COAST ■; fv * . —vs *nyiN6 FREUSWT CARS'—? 1 kV v T 3H3 > » ■ AtR SERVICE EXCU»VEIY%J gfcT Jj DID YOU KNOW THAT— There are two questions soldiers back from fighting always ask first? “Where, can I get a hot bath?” and “Where can I get a thick! jsteak?” Red Cross clubs; all over the world provide, j both wherever possible for; battle-weary men. ; Over 350 Red Cross clubs are in Operation overseas?; j They are the “home away from home” for our ser ! vicemen. These clubs range from large hotels in Lon jdon to grass huts in New j Guinea: —. j If a serviceman overseas cannot get to a Red Cross club, the Red Cross .club goes to him via Red Cross clubmobiles? These are large converted buses with club room, doughnut-mak ing machine, coffee urns, cigarettes, racks for news papers and magazines, a loud speaker system, gram ophone, records, and circu lating library. Last but not I least, they are manned by attractive American Red Cross girls. Most wounded soldiers reach hospitals with no per sonal possessions at all? ; Red Cross kit bags furnish, them razors, toothbrushes,' and other essential articles.! Last year the Red Cross furnished 2,500,000 kit bags! for distribution to men em barking on troop ships and, to patients in hospitals. Red Cross blood plasma was the number one life-, saver in the African cam paign, according to Major; Norman T. Kirk, Surgeon-' General of the Army? Death rate of wounded men was kept down to 3 percent, instead of the 15 percent! to 18 percent; common in World War I When the 162nd Infantry Regiment of the 41st Div ision made its push throu gh the New Guinea jungle to take Salamaua, the Red Cross Field Directors Tay lor and Swartz were al- DAIRYING TO BECOME I LEADING ENTERPRISE Dairying is destined to become a leading farm en-j terprise in North Carolina I because all the require ments for successful milk production can be met here,; John A. Arey, Exten sion dairyman at N. C. i State College. “Our climate '"and our soils make it possible to graze cows on a combina tion of permanent and temporary pastures appro ximately three-foprths of Uhe year. During the war j years, when milk is so bad ly needed, we should re double our efforts to have maximum grazing for ev ery milk cow in the State,” he said. * “For the winter and semi winter months an abund ance of good quality leg ume hay should be provid ed, two tons for each cow is not too much. This will keep up the mineral needs of the cow and 1 furnish valuable protein to make milk. Its bulk is also valu able as an aid to the pro per digestion of more con centrated feeds. “Where five or more cows are kept it is practi-; cal to provide silage for them. Three to four tons of silage should be provid ed for each mature cow 1 This provides succulence and a cheap source of nu trients for milk production. An acre of corn fed throu gh a silo will make more gallons of milk than any other way it can be fed,” he continued. Grain is essential, but i should be balanced with the roughage. It should be Iso mixed as to supply the nutritional needs of the' cow not met by the rough age that is being fed. High protein hay and reasonab ly low protein grain will give excellent results. Low ; protein hay and high pro tein grain will giv„e fairly good results. Remember there is no substitute for high quality legume hay. “If our dairy cows are i given all these desirable feeds, housed in comfort able barns and treated with kindness maximum milk production can be expect ed,” Arey concluded BURNSVILLE TAKES TWO FROM BEECH GLEN “—“ The Burnsville “Hornets” defeated Beech Glenn in h double-header the Beech Glen "nebutt Tues day.
