' ? ? . - . ' ?- ' ' *. i Home Agent Urges Use of Citrus Fruit ' j : '? m ?; . ' ; i Frequent use of plentiful citrus fruits is an excellent way to in crease the vitamin C content of family diets. Miss LaUiyi Bra shears, county home demonstra tion agent for the State College Extension Service, said this week. She points out that fresh or anges, grapefruit, and lemons are now abundant throughout the Southeast. USDA crop reports indicate that more than 70 million hoxes of the 117 million-box orange crop remained unharvested on the first of March. Nationally, this sea son's grapefruit crop is smaller than last year, but Florida lias a record crop of very good quali ty and plentiful supplies are reaching southeastern markets from there. Vitamin C rich foods should be included in diets daily, the home agent explains, since this vitamin can't be stored by the body. An orange a day. or half a grapefruit for breakfast will furnish a good share of daily vitamin C needs.

QUESTION: Is It safe to use TDE emulsions lor control of hornworms on tobacco? ANSWER: In the past, TDE in emulsion form has not been rec ommended for use on tobacco. Re cent teats show, however, that the emulsion form of this new insec ticide may be used on tobacco with no more hfurm to the aroma or flavor than would result from use of TDE as dust or wetta ble powder. , In the aroma and flavor tests, made by three tobacco companies in cooperation with State and Federal entomologists, ho signifi cant differences were found be tween the emulsions and the dust applications. "Because emulsions are very efficient means of applying insec ticides, these findings are of some importance to tobacco growers," says Dr. Henry Townes, tobacco insect scientist for the North Car olina Experiment Station. "For similar results, emulsions may be applied at about half the dosage of the active insecticides that are needed with dusts or wettable powders. In spray equipment, emulsions are often more easily mixed than wettable powders and do not have the nozzle-clogging tendencies." QUESTION: Why does a farm er need to keep records? ANSWER: Farm records are becoming increasingly important in the conduct of business rela tions with other people. Not only income tax reports but also busi ness transactions with tenants and credit agencies and social se curity reports for farm labor re quires the keeping of records. Like any other businessman, the farmer needs to know more than Just the fact that he has more or less money at the end of the year than at the beginning. Measuring success by amount of cash on hand doesn't show, what has happened to crops, livestock, and supply inventories. Between January, 1948, and January, 1951, the number of Grade A milk producers in North Carolina more than doubled. <&ne never knows whew THE WRAW Of "WE ELEMENTS WlLfREACH iOU.

Splendor and sumptuous adornment you'll certainly find in its rich interior ? grandeur you'll certainly find in the mighty flow of its power.
