LIBRARY CORNER Library Hours: 12:00-7:00 There are just a few months until school is out and eighteen i and nineteen year olds will be j ready for the draft. May we urge I each one cf you to see the books | in the library on aviation, para troops, submarines, army, navy, marines, or any branch of the service that you might be inter ested in. It may be that you wlil want to study up on your mathematics or foreign languages. Take ad vantage of the bocks on these subjects that you will find in Person County Public Li brary, Chub Lake Street. We are so confident of our use fulness because we have actual statements from the boys that have gone into various branches of the services concerning their advancements due to the hours they spent studying library books. Not just one but several have said that they are beyond I the “buck private” stage because they studied and were ready to take over more advanced duties. I Why not profit by the experi ence of others and use ycur library o the best advantage. It may be that you will want library to the best advantage. Start Work On Gardens Now Don't wait' for spring blosscms to remind you, but begin now to clean-up and plan tire home yards and gardens, urges John H. Harris, Landscape Extension Specialist of N. C. State College. March is the last month before next fall for the planting of fruit trees, graphs, strawberries, j dewberries and other small 1 fruits. Harris pointsl out that rose ■ bushes, fruit trees and diseased | shrubs should be fertilized with ; masure and perhap some phos (phate. No fertilizer containing inorganic nitrogen can be used for this purpose under present regulations. I As to pruning, he suggests that it be done so as to preserve the natural shape of the plant to be ' pruned. Flowering plants that ! bloom before July should not be pruned. 1 Trees and shrubs should not be allowed to reck around in the i wind and wear a hole in the soil ! around their base. Anchor them with string and slake and keep the soil packed around the roots. As to spring yard cleaning, he gives the following pointers: Dcn’t burn over the yard and don’t use a brush broom. Use a rake to remove the coarse trash and allow the fine material to remain. He reminds all gardeners that it is time now to plant water i lilies. Use three partis of good si.il and one part of well ret ld manure, and cover with a j layer of sand to hold the soil in i place. BAPTIST HOUR Dr. Robert: G.

How much money can a Victory Garden save in the family budget? That will depend on how high the prices of fresh vegetables, on which there is so far no ceiling, are al lowed to go. Even before the war, careful tests and studies made by the School of Living of Suffem, New York, established that a vegetable garden can save, the average fam ily from $58.48 to slOO.ll a year, at the same time providing over 400 pounds more vegetables than are consumed by most city fami lies. In a bulletin detailing its studies of this subject the following state ments are made: “A century ago home vegetable gardens were the rule. Today not only city families but millions of families living in suburban and country districts buy their vege tables in retail stores. “This habit was acquired pre sumably because the public had been led to believe that it is cheap er as well as more convenient to buy vegetables than to grow them. But careful studies show that this is not true; that shopping and market ing not only take time and energy which might be used to grow them, but that purchasing vegetables is an expensive luxury. "The studies of the school show that the quantity of vegetables now purchased by the typical American family/ including canned, bottled and dried, can be grown and har vested in less than two weeks’ time per year. Actually the total amount of time necessary for planting, car ing for and harvesting a vegetable garden is less than that commonly For Livestock and Poultry v We have a complete assortment of disinfectants and health aids. Thomas & Oakley Walgreen Agency Drug Store occupied in shopping in the retail market. “It is estimated that the average American woman shops for food at least 120 times a year. The pur chase of vegetables at reasonable prices is an important part of each shopping trip, an adventure which ordinarily consumes a couple of hours. Yet a total of approximately two hours’ work weekly throughout the year suffices to produce all the vegetable needs of the family home.” As to the quality of home grown vegetables, compared with those obtained in the market, the bulle tin states: “You learn what really fresh vegetables taste like. Peas, com, lima beans, string beans and the rest of the vegetable family lose more than half their delicious flavor a few hours after picking. ‘Half an hour from vine to pot’ is a wise saying of country folk whose mean ing has been entirely lost to the modern race of city and country buyers of so called ‘fresh’ fruits and vegetables.” Details of the tests upon which these statements are based are given in the bulletin. To produce 1,746.7 pounds of fresh vegetables required a total of 94 hours and 17 minutes’ work. The total cost, in cluding taxes and interest but not labor was compared with the mar ket cost of the vegetables, and showed a saving of $58.48, which figured out as 62 cents for each hour’s work required; and besides, says the bulletin: “You not only experience the pleasures of planting and tending a garden but profit from the exercise involved.” The health and value of your farm animals de pends on the care you give them. Keep them free of worms, disease and insects with our tested and approved vac cines and. insecticides. It’s a patriotic duty to keep live stock in the best of health, as well as profitable! State College Hints Tp Farm Homemakers By Ruth Current N. C. State Collegt You’ve heard aloout packing thoughts into a nutshell. Well, two words that pack a good deal cf meaning about our supply of food are: produce and conserve. The food that a family grows in one garden may not look im pressive. But add up food on 6,000,000 farms, and 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 Victory Gardens in " i na of Louisburg College, Louis-1 burg, where Mr. Beasley’s par ents, Mr. and Mrs. William Lee Beasley, live.

A homemaker is conserving when she plans balanced meals. She is conserving, when she sheps with her eyes open and buys foods that give good value in nutrition.
