Freezing Fruits
And Vegetables Is
Good Preservatlve

College station, Raleigh, March a.
Freezing fruits and vegetables as a
method of preservation is growing
more popular.
When frozen properly, they may be
kept a long time without losing the
original fresh flavor and texture, said
DR.. Ivan D. Jones, research horti-
culturist at State College.
This is a distinct advantage over
canning, drying, or other methods of
preservation which alter the fruies
and vegetables he pointed out.
Furthermore, he added, when they
have to be shipped distance to mar
ket, they will reach the consumer in
a fresher condition, if frozen at the
start. than they viii when shipped in
the ordinary way. y...M
However, he continued, they must
be kept at or near a freezing tempera-
ture until ready for consumption, as
they will deteriorate rapidly after
| thawing out.
In most cases, freezing does not i'm
pair the food value, he stated, al
| though a few fruits los part or all
of their vitamin G.. Orange juice, one
of the most important sources Of
vitamin c, retains practically all of
this vitamin when frozen properly.
Another advantage Of the frozen
pack, DR.. Jones observed, is that the
fruits and vegetables are prepared for
consumption before they are frozen.
This eliminates the unedible parts
which would otherwise be purchased
by the customer and then discarded.

NEGRO FARMERS TO
USE NEW METHODS

Winton. March 24.-Many Negro
farmers in Hartford county are turn
ing to better methods as they learn
of defects in the old, traditional ways.
Once they see the advantage of a
new method, said w. c. Davenport
Negro farm agent, they are quick to
adopt it.
The result is a growing improve
ment in farm management that is re-
Elected in the better profits being
made and in a higher standard of liv-
ing now possible, Davenport pointed
out.
The planting of high quality, pure
seed is one of the new trends that is
becoming popular, he said, as grow
ers realize the difference that seed
quality makes in the yield and quail
ity of the crop.

Pou Is Fighting

For Auditor Job

I'm The Sir Walter Hotel,

Raleigh. March 24-George Ross
Pou is kicking up plenty OF dust over
the State in his campaign for the
Democratic nomination for State au-
ditor despite the fact that he is the
most recent candidate to announce for
the office which has now been held
for almost 16 years by Baxter Dur
ham. the incumbent. Nor has Pou ever
run for State office before, although
he did seek the nomination as repre-
sentative in Congress some two years
ago in the fourth congressional dis
trict, following the death of his father,
the late Edward w. Pou, who was
member of Congress from the fourth
district for more than 80 years. For
some Is wears prior to this time, how
ever, Pou was superintendent of the
State Prison, having been appointed
to the post three times by three sue
cessive Observation-Disclosures Gardner
and Ehringhaus.
Although State Auditor Baxter Dur
ham has not yet formally announced
for denomination, he is expected to do
so any day now, while Willard l..
Dowell. executive secretary of the
North Carolina Merchants Association
is also candidate for the nomination.
Durham, due to the fact that he has
held the office for 16 years and is
conceded to have the benefit of the
backing which the man who holds a
State office always has, is expected to
be difficult man to defeat. He is al
ready showing much more strength
than many believed he would several
weeks ago. His supporters believe he
is in no great danger
Dowell has not been very active the
past two weeks or so, but his hackers
are confident that his extensive State
wide acquaintance and many contacts,
he is going to become an increasingly
dangerous candidate and one likely to
give both Durham and Pou hard
battle before the campaign is over.

Uncontrolled Soil Erosion
Has Been American Scourge

tinue to figure prominently in the tu-
ture of American agriculture.
Growing and planting under le-
oumes serves to control erosion IN
two ways, he pointed out.
While the plants are growing, they
form a thick mass of vegetation that
binds the soil together and holds the
minute soil particles in place.
After they have been plowed under,
they add organic matter to the soil
which increases the capacity of the
land to absorb water and hold it for
long periods.
When rain falls on land rich in or
ganic matter, the water soaks in and
remains there to be released slowly.
This checks erosion, prevents floods,
and provides an abundance of mois-
ture for growing plants.

AMHERST YOUTH
 DEATH IS PROBED

Northampton, Mass, Feb. 4- (UP)-More than 24 hours after the mysterious death of Francis O. Grose, 2l, of Great Neck, L. |, po- lice still were undecided today whe- ther the Amherst college freshman was 8 victim of foul play, suicide or hit-run accident. Grose's frozen body was found on the icy surface of the Connecticut river early yesterday. An autopsy re- vealed that he had suffered mul- tiple skull fractures, nine fractured ribs, a punctured lung, ruptured Kidneys and 8 scalp wound. The only clue was cryptic notation in one of Grose's books. It read: Dis aster hove in sight"
 Frankly puzzled, police were un- able to throw further light on the case. The hit-run theory was ad- vanced by the youths father, Waldo Grose, who suggested that Q driver might have carried the body to the railroad bridge, hoping to dispose of 1t beneath the ice. A theory that Grose had been killed was learned that no trains passed by @ train was discarded when 1t between the last time Grose was seen alive early yesterday and the discovery of his body.

Connecticut Rates Unreasonable, Says
 Commissioner Tone
Board to Be Appointed to Set Minimum Wage for WOrkers-Hearing Set for FiartfOrd-WOmen Paid
 Extremely LOw-Drastic Action Promised

was a statewide one and conditions were such as to cause Commission CT Tone to take drastic action.
 Public Hearing
 Under the minimum wage the commissioner is empowered to name minimum wage board to hold a public hearing. This board must be made up of three employers, three emploes and three persons not interested in the business under con- sideration.
 Commissioner Tone said he would name the board within Q week and that the latter body would hold a hearing very soon in Hartford. The board can recommend minimum wage to the labor commissioner and he, in turn, can send out an order to all cleaning establishments set- ting up a minimum wage. s.
 According to Commissioner Tone the average hourly rate of pay for persons in the business was 28 cents. In the fall of 1884 the average hourly pay was 27.0 cents. Weekly earnings last fall were $ll.04 as com pared with $l1.34 in 1885. The de- cline is believed to be due to a seasonal decrease in weekly work hours. .4
 Low Wages
 Commissioner Tones investigation has disclosed that the number of women receiving extremely low wages has increased and that there are three times as many women re- ceiVing less than 27 cents per hour in 1885 as in 1884. Also, 1t was dis covered, the number receiving less than 25 cents per hour doubled. Smaller communities showed the ings for laundry help.

AUTO INSURANCE.
 WAS DISCUSSED.
Several Suggestions Off, fered But No Direct Ac-
 ton Was Taken

Hartford, Feb. 4-UP)-Several compulsory automobile insurance proposals were being considered to- day by a special study commission appointed by the last general as- sembly. Outstanding was a recom- mendation to create 8 state fund through increased registration and license fees, from which would be paid compensation for the first acci- dent. The license and registration, of the operator would be suspended until he reimbursed the fund for the amount expended. It was pro- posed to the commission late yester- day by W. B. Lawson, Hartford in- surance dealer.
 More Suggestions
 Either a compulsory insurance or a tightening up of the present financial responsibility clause was suggested by William M. Harney, Hartford, and Frank Covello and T. J. Cabelus, New Britain, all attor- neys, who said at present it was impossible many times to collect judgment in accident litigations.
 A prediction that compulsory in- surance would "skyrocket rates un- less you have control was made by Myles w. Illingworth, executive sec: retary of the motor truck associa- ton.
