NITRATE OF SODA

Three thousand two hundred and
fifty tons of nitrate of soda have
been purchased by the Georgia
State Department of Agriculture
for the use of farmers in the state,
according to Fred Bridges, assistant
commissioner Of agriculture.
The nitrate of soda was purchased
from the government supply stored
at Hermitage, Tenn, following bids
opened by the Department of Agri-
culture, and will cost the farmers
OF the state approximately $50 a
ton, as against ms to $40 a ton in the
open market.
In addition securing a low price
on the nitrate, the Department of
Agriculture, acting through the
State Public Service Commission,
took up the matter with the rail-
roads involved in the haul, and Sc
cured 80 per cent reduction per
ton on the rates for nitrate, saving
the farmers a considerable amount
N transportation charges.
The nitrate of soda will be ship
ped to Georgia farmers in small lots
as fast as it IS needed. Progressive

rhick-skinned, pulpy fruit will be light
when tested in the hand. A pineapple
should be heavy and its center leaves
asffy removed, to prove its ripeness. ="
I Bananas may be purchased and
opened at home by keeping them inia
paper bag. Bananas are not good food
when firm and crisp The skin may be
lot soft or mushy; they are in fine con-
lition for eating. Fruit kept In the
iome will keep much better if separat-
I'd; it is the fact of contact, and
often the weight pressing into the fruit
which cause decay.
Wash all fruit that has been handled
such as apples, oranges or grapefruit
as well as the smaller fruits. Bananas
are protected by their covering. Grapes
should be dipped, a bunch at time, in

An attractive way of serving bana-

then sprinkle with sugar: add little
pineapple juice or a few cubes of pine
apple, some maraschino cordial and a
cherry or two to garnish the top of the

balls. One thing important to remem-
Der is to remove the f1bers or strings
from the sides of the bananas when
oeeling them; this substance is astrin-
gent and causes trouble in some stom-
