BBBHBIHBBBHBBBI Telephone 4501 Mrs. Slaughter Club Hostess The president of the Allens ville Home Demonstration Club. Mrs. Zadok Slaughter, was host-! ess to her club Tuesday, Febru ary 28. The program began with a scripture reading by Mrs. Enos' Slaughter, followed with prayer by Mrs. Ed Gentry. Both Mrs. Ro. bert Gentry and Mrs. B. G. Crumpton then gave some in structive talks on Home Manage ment and Home Furnishings res pectively. After summarizing the “Out look for Farm Family Living for 1939” Mrs. Gentry urged her list eners to become more business like in their home-making. She suggested that one of the first steps toward being able to man age a home efficiently is to have a place to keep important papers, accounts and records. She showed a Farm Home Business Unit which could easily be built by even an amateur carpenter. Em phasizing the importance of a de finite and convenient place for such a useful piece of furniture she also reminded the members of the club to place where it would have sufficient and correct lighting. During the open forum which Mrs. Gentry led, many good ideas were expressed by members of the group as to better ways to THESE NORTH CAROLINA TOBACCO GROWERS are only a few among thousand* all over the state who hare discovered that it pays to give tobacco plenty of NV POTASH. That is why such mixtures as 343-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER have became so popular. That is why so many farmers now side-dress their tobacco with NV SULPHATE OF POTASH. The Tbbaoco Research Committee recommends fer tilizer containing at least 6% POTASH at 800 to 1,200 pounds per acre, plus a sidedressing of potash equal manage for an adequate food sup ply for the family. Probably one of the most practical ones was the suggestion that each family should plant two gardens. One in a high, well-drained soil, the other in a low spot which would help it sur vive a drought. After all the family would lose nothing by] having the two gardens, for the surplus produce,if any, could be canned or preserved in some way, and there would always be the assurance of an adequate food supply! Several original ideas for the I storage of foods were expressed also. This is one of the big prob -1 lems for many families. With a little ingenuity mixed with fore sight and a bit of extra effort, such foods as turnips, potatoes, apples and onions may be kept for an indefinite length of time with little or no expense. ■ Ideas for making the house wife’s work a bit lighter were pre. sented by Mrs. B. G. Crumpton. “The atmosphere of the kitchen affects the thoughts and general outlook on the life of the home-] maker,” said Mrs. Crumpton, “therefore it should be planned by the person who uses it to suit her own comfort, personality and needs.” The many plans for home made kitchen equipment could not be used by every individual yet from the plans she distributed there may be one or two ideas which could be the inspiration for an improvement in almost ev ery kitchen. To save steps in the prepara tion of meals Mrs. Crumptoni sug gested keeping small amounts of salt, pepper, sugar, flour and spi ces in several different places in I the kitchen—over each working surface for example—she asked, ver drawer, “Are your knives mixing spoons and table silver all in a jumble, or can you pull open a divided drawer and put your finger on just what you want? If not, 2 to 3 wood partitions as high as the drawer can easily be fitted into it—and you will be on your way to keeping things in order.” The campaign for kitchen im- BABY gvCHICKS We have opened a hatchery to serve Person Coun ty and are able to supply all popular breeds of chicks in any quantity.
