There's only enough caviar in the united States to Sast until Christmas, food -authorities tell us, and supplies of pate de fois gras are practically exhausted. But never mind . . . There are plenty of beans for old- fashioned pork and beans. There is sweet corn, quick frozen so that it tastes fresh-picked all winter long. There are turkies and cranberries and pumpkins galore. There is maple syrup and buckwheat for cakes and a new appreciation for all these typically American foods that grow in such abundance in this country. One enterprising grocery house has brought out a new line of 80 old American foods. Prepared by old time recipes and packaged in con tainers that are replicas of Colonial crocks, jars and pots, these foods are meeting an unprecedented wel come. Uther companies are stressing native dishes and it's increasingly smart to serve American meals as we wake up and rub our eyes and discover what a colorful past we have and how splendid it is to be an American! We regret the. lack of caviar this winter and the dearth of pate de fois gras and other less exotic items we have always imported from Europe, such as cheese, olive oil, endive, chestnuts. We like to think of the bounty of the whole earth pouring into this country from its four cor ners. But we can live without these things and live abundantly. Foi Nature has blessed our land with fertile soil and such a range of cli mate that we can grow an almost complete variety of fruits, vegetables and meats within our own borders. And American ingenuity and indus try enables us to can and freeze and smoke .these products so skillfully that we have a greater variety of foods to enjoy than any people have ever had before. No matter where we live, this abundance is available because we have the means for, dis tributing, as welll as producing, this bounty. JGditors And Agents Comprise Farm Team Weekly newspaper editors and r Jcounty farm and home agents make ip a team that has been one of. the mom, potent iorces in tne improve ment, of farming and rural living in the past 25 years. Those are the sentiments of M. L. Wilson, director of Extension for the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Director I. 0. Schaub of the State, College Exten sion Service, says he heartily con curs in the views expressed by the Federal! leader. Of the beginning of this period of team work, Director Wilson says: "The United (States was nearing the end of the row as far as new land was concerned. In the more care fully cultivated sections, farming methods lagged behind experimental advances in agricultural science. Into this picture stepped the county agent and traveled from farm to farm on foot, on horseback, and in buggies. "On the country editor the agent Qeaned heavily from the earliest days. Usually the work of the county agent made good newspaper copy. Frequently he would write a column of his own in the weekly paper and his writings were compact with good sense. "Judged solely as a job in practi cal, popular education, the achieve ment of the county agent ranks high in American social history. The county agent is now, equipped with an automobile and a clerical force in his office, but is most frequently to be found at some farm talking about crops and rural improvement. The weekly editor is still one of his most highly vadued allies." To this Director Schaub of the North Carolina Extension Service adds: "Agricultural Extension work simply is giving information about better ways of farm living and one of the best methods of reaching a farm audience is through the columns of local papers whose (editors the farm people know and trust. Since the summer of 1914 exclusive copy for weekly papers has been mailed each week from the office of Frank H. Jeter, .State College edi tor. The weekly newspapers of North Carolina have, since the be- iii .'i iii.';" iii i ii- - . ginning, given liberally of their space to this cooperative program ol rural betterment."

Last year the fall traffic death toll for North Carolina was as fol lows: October, 102 deaths, November, 103 killed, and December, 109 killed. "The fall months are the danger moiiths of the highways," said Ho cutt, "and this means that North Carolina motorists, pedestrians and bicycle riders must be more alert than ever from now until the end of the year." Hocutt listed fogs, forest fires, early darkness, and football games as among the principal factors that make the fall months more hazardous on the highways. For driving in fog, the safety di rector urges motorists to lower the beams of their headlights, watch the right edge of the roadway, make sure that their taillights and stoplights are in good order, and drive slowly The same cautions apply when driv ing through smoke from forest fires he said. Many accidents occur in the fall months because of early darkness which comes in the fall during the rush hour the peak time for traffic, when people are going home from the office, workers are pouring from factories, and women are homeward bound from an afternoon of shopping. "Whether you are walking or driv ing, darkness means danger," Hocutt said. "It's just plain commonsense to be more careful when you can't see as well." In this connection, he called atten tion to the hazard faced by motorists who have to "drive into the sun" during the late afternoon and eanly evenings in the fall. This hazard, he said, can be overcome to some extent by keeping your windshield clean, reducing your speed, and using a visor or sunglasses. "Unless you are careful," Hocutt said, "when riding in the fall you may be riding for a fall." Orders For Forest Trees Should Be Placed Early Last year 244 fanners were dis appointed when they were unable t obtain 544,000 foreBt trees and seed lings ordered through .their county agents. The State Forest Nurseries, where the seedlings are grown, were unable to supply more than a million trees requested by farmers and others. With this in view, R. W. Graeber.l Extension forester at N. C. State! College, urges that farmers place I their forest tree orders for the 1940-41 planting season at an earlj date. Already applications for morti than 1,400,000 trees have been re ceived by the State Department ol Conservation and Development which operates the two State nurseries at Clayton near Raleigh and in Hen derson County. The nurseries will have 5,400,000 trees available this year. County farm agents of the Exten sion iService have order blanks for the trees and they will be in a posi tion to advise with fanners as to the correct species for climatic and sot. conditions. The foflolwing species are available this year: Loblolly, longleaf, short leaf, slash, and white pine; black locust, cypress, white ash, yellow poplar, red cedar, and black walnut. No order will be filled for less than 500 of any one species, except bflacK i walnut lor which the minimum order will be 100 trees. Stock may be used only for forest planting, erosion control and wind breaks. It cannot be used for orna mental planting, and may not be resold. C. A. Bogue.
