Important To ' -Blanch Vegetables Before Freezing If you're' freezing any vege tables this summer, be sure .to blanch them. ' ' - Food specialists in the U- S, Department of Agriculture's lab oratories at' Beltsville, Md., say this is' an important step ,. in freezing practically every vege table. If vegetables are- not hwted before freezing or not heated enough, the enzymes which have helped the vege tables to grow and mature will continue to be active. The vege tables may develop off-flavors, discolor or toughen so that they are soon unappetizing. Check, your freezing" manual lor the correct blanching time, It varies , with .the vegetables end the size of pieces'. You may obtain a freezing manual from the home economics Extension .agent's - office at the Agricultural EuiMing in Hertford-.

This happens eveiy year about this time and in many cases the in festation is bad enough where dust should be applied to con trol it. "It is still suggested that toxephene and DDT applied at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds to the acre will give you the best control in soybeans on these in sects. In the past they have also gotten on cotton, and a good ousting program on cotton is necessary to control it, as they Will completely defoliate the cotton, where, again, toxephene is the best material to use, as it Will control army worms and if DDT is mixed in it, you will also get control on boll worms. If these insects are in peanuts, your regular dusting program which is either Sevin or DDT, will give you good control, states R. M. Thompson, County Exten sion Chairman- hope that you will check your soybeans, peanuts and cot ton to be sure that these insects are not in sufficient quantity to decrease your yield," further states Mr. Thompson.

Mr. and Mrs. Preston Winslow of Secane, Pa-i were the only, relatives who didn't get to at- tend the reunion. 1 The ham and' egg show and sale' held in " conjunction with the -Farm Festival was a tre mendous success due to partici pation of the merchants, civic clubs . and$; individuals, who bought the hams and eggs and the farm families .who partici pated by putting hams and eggs in the show. The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce in sponsoring Che ham ; and egg show and sale was to encour age more production of this type of product by the .farm family- Perquimans County is One of the V leading swine . producing counties in the state and for this reaon many people feel that. cured meat has a great possibil-, ity for Increasing income to our farm family. We. must have quality along with quantity If we are to haVe meat, that mar kets will use. In shows of this type it is demonstrated what is meant by quality and alsq en courages the use of ;, smoke houses and proper curing on the farm. : Of course, the farmers were the direct Benefactors of the sale, which was held Friday, but if a market could be devel oped in this area for cured meat, the whole economy of Perquimans County would be benefitted by. the added income. The following merchants and individuals certainly, did their part to encourage growth and better production of hams and eggs in Perquimans County by paying well over $1.00 per pound for the hams and over $1.00 a dozen tor the eggs.
