Jmore before Hyde County Farm Security famili-es plan to can large quanti ties of food this summer to take care of their winter food supply Janie Lavender, needs, according to Mrs. Madeline E. Smith, county as.sociate FS.4 super\’isor. According to Mrs. Smith most of these families a few years ago canned only a few jars, mostly tomatoes, beans and some fruits. The variety is much, larger now. Here are the plans of FS-\ fam ilies in Hvde county for this sum mer as Mrs. Smith tells it: Gardens are late this year be cause of weather conditions, but canning* is just getting into full swing. No longer do you see shel ves with a variety of three or four 'vegetables and fruits. FSA bor rowers wives now fill their shelves with all kinds of meats, vegetables and fruits. With the aid of their pressure cookers they can calves, pork, chickens, vension and fish to supplement their meat supply. Even the babv comes in for his special foods. Using food mills which most of the families have purchased, they strain and can their baby’s food, using beans, peas, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, apples, peaches and pears. The b.-ibies get balanced meals without the extra expense of purchasing baby food. Many men, who in the past liv ed on meats with some kinds of greens are fast cultivating a taste for a large variety of vegetables. As a result FS.A farm families are getting better balanced meals and are staying healthier so they can do a better job of producing food for the war effort. ' 'Fhere are very few families that don’t have a close relative in some branch of the armed forces and all these families realize that every jar they can means more for the war effort.

FRESH PAINT — The county agent’s office and the AA.4 offices are getting a fresh coat of paint this week. The offices, which are generally well-kept, had a strewn appearance Tuesday with the of fice furniture and supplies OCRACOKE SCHOOL — Supt. N. W. Shelton attended the clos- |ing of the Ocracoke high school last Friday. The Ocracoke school was the last school to close in Hyde this year. There were four seniors graduated. Eastern North Carolina have been I begging landowners for l-eases. , They have gone so far with their efforts as to get the State of North Carolina this week to of fer them leases on the river and sound bottoms of the state, the state to get an eighth of the pro fits if oil should be found. Three or more of the larger oil companies have agents working in this section. Oil companies of New Jersey, Indiana, and Pennsylvania are all concerned. Their represen tatives have approached many, landowners, and at present they are apparently trying to tie up large tracts of land. On the other hand, reil estate promotors are getting busy. They have their agents in the various courthouses collecting names and addresses of land owners. One can imagine what excitement will pre vail, once they begin contacting thffie owners in large numbers in effort to corner all the land that might possibly be desired for lease and when various groups bid, the one against the other. Some of these agents are sharp brethren no doubt, who will swarm into Eastern North Carolina on a shoestring operation. But the mere suggestion of oil is enough to drive people mad with the possi bility of quick riches. News of these efforts by the oil companies had long ago reached well inform ed people in this section, but some of the tales were so fantastic that good sense dictated that little be said about it. See Lawyers First Some of the more conser\'ative citizens say they are. not going to rush into signing oil leases or sales of proerty without first get ting competent legal advice. For one thing an oil lease may tie up opes’ land, with a mere ten cents an acre consideration, for a period of ten years. The oil company might not he obligated to drill for oil, or might not bring the well in friends have production if oil is found.

Farm families cannot can their surplus vegetables without jars to put them in, so every time a new borrower gets a loan, he takes stock of his canning equipment and money is loaned him to pur chase enough jars and a canner to use in saving the food supply.
