WOMEN INTERESTED
IN RADIO RECIPES

Farm women are always interest
ed in timely recipes, specialists of
the Home Demonstration Division at
State College have discovered.
AS an example, nearly 100 re-
quests for preserving strawberries
came in after Mrs. Cornelia G. Nor
ris, extension economist in food con-
servation and marketing, gave talk
on the Carolina Farm Features pro-
gram over Station WPTF, Raleigh,
in which she mentioned several re-
cipes.
With the strawberry season flour
ishing, farm homemakers are inter-
ested in preserving some of the fruit
for use during those months when
fruits and berries are scarce.
Mimeographed directions for con-
serving the berries were sent to all
those who had requested the
recipes.
Mrs. Morris and others in the de-
partment expressed themselves as
being we'll pleased with the response
which has been shown by farm
women to the weekly home demon
stration program heard each Thurs
day.

HEREFORD NEGRO FARMERS
BUY FLOODED JERSEYS

Pure bred livestock are cheaper
than scrubs, believe Negro farmers
of Hartford county, who have been
feeding high priced grain and rough
age into scrubs all these years with
out getting back an adequate return.
So they have gone in for pure
bred Jersey cattle. Two bull assocl-
ations have been organized in recent
weeks with one located in the Mills
Neck community, near HARRISON
vile. Charlie Lassiter is president
and the bull will be kept on the
farm of F. J. Lane. Twelve men have
an interest in the animal and money
was raised for his purchase when
the members of the association ad-
vanced a small sum each for the
purchase.
The second association is located
in the Vaughtown community
where the same arrangements were
completed. w. A. Eason is president
of this association and J. w. Majette
will keep the animal.
Both of these herd sires are pure
bred registered Jerseys and will be
of tremendous value in the two
communities, says w. c. Davenport,
local Negro farm agent of the State
College Extension Service. Daven-
potr says the associations will per-
NIT the two animals to be used in
herds of non-members but will
charge a standard fee for such SER
vice.
AS a result of this interest in
blooded dairy cattle, Davenport re-
ports that other Negro farmers are
buying pure bred Jersey cows to be-
gin small herds for family supplies
of mix and butter.
''The farmers tell me they are tir-
ed of feeding scrubs and getting
practically nothing in return" Day.

Answer: Drenching for stomach
worms should begin about June l..
AS a usual thing one or two treat
ments ere Sufficient for mature ami
mails, but in cases of severe infesta-
ton both the lambs and ewes should
be drenche1 every two to four
weeks until frost. Keep the animals
to be treated off feed for "a hours
before and off feed and water for
five hours after drenching. The cop
per sulphate solution is most gener-
ally used for stomach worms, but
the nicotine sulphate has also prov
en- valuable, especially where tape
worms are present. The nicotine sui
plate solution is made by mixing
together one-half ounce of 40 per-
cent nicotine sulphate (Black Leaf

sheep should receive two to three
ounces of this solution at each treat
ment and lambs from one to two
ounces.

Social Security Act
Being Debated Now
U. S. Supreme Court May Hand
Down Decision on May IL
as to Legality of Act

The major question before justice
of the Supreme court at their secre
weekly conference in Washington
the last of the week was whether
the old age pension provisions Of
the social security act are constitu
tiOnal.
This was the first opportunity the
court had to discuss the case since
arguments were heard last Wednes-
day.
A decision may be announced on
May II, a final decision on other
litigation involving the unemploy-
ment insurance provisions of the
federal act and supplementary state
legislation may be forthcoming at
that time also.
An opinion or opinions must be
written before the court announces
it's decision. In event of unanimous
decision, one member of the court is
assigned to write the opinion. If one
or more of the justices disagree with
the majority, a dissenting opinion
also may be prepared.
When the ruling will be announc-
ed depends on completion of the
opinions.
The justices will meet May II.
May "a and June l to deliver deci-
sions and then will adjourn for the
summer unless session on the fol-
lowing Monday is found necessary
The constitutionality of the old
age pension system was challenged
in the courts by George P. Davis,
of Boston. He brought suit to enjoin
the Edison Electric Illuminating
company, of Boston, of which he is
a stakeholder, from paying the pay
roll tax.
Under the old age pensions pro-
vision of the social security act,
100000 persons are promised ben
efits as they reach IS years of age
and tier January l, 1912. Taxes are
levied on both workers and employ
ers to finance the benefits.

COOPERATIVE SELLING
PLEASES HOG GROWERS

With twelve markets already es-
tablished and two more under con-
sideration, cooperative hog market
ing in eastern North Carolina is
proving boon to swine growers,
declares H. w. Taylor, swine speci-
alist for the State College Extension
Service.
Working with county agents, the
growers haul their hogs to central
loading point on prescribed days for
shipment to Northern markets in
carload lots.
Prices this spring have been good,
Taylor says, and farmers generally
have been pleased with the cooper
alive plan. This is the first year that
hogs have been shipped on large
scale comparatively.
Markets are now operating in
New Bern, Tarboro, Plymouth,
Greenville, Washington, Shawboro,
Warsaw, Four Oaks, Burgaw, Eliza
BEETHOVEN, Lumberton, and Rowland.
Taylor says that markets in Scot
land Neck and Kinston are now un-
der consideration. If sufficient inter-
est is taken, shipping points will be
established in these two places. 9th
er points will also be considered.
Leading the way in the largest
shipments is the New Bern Coopera-
tive Livestock Market, serving
farmers of Craven, Carteret, jones'
Onslow, and Pamlico counties.
To date, according to M. A. MOT
gan, Craven farm agent, growers
have shipped from this point 1913

Question: WHAT is THE
BEST CONTROL FOR CAB
BAGE WORMS?

Question: WHAT ID IEE
BEST CONTROL FOR CAB
BAGE WORMS?
Answer: Rotenone dust will, in all
probability, give the best control.
The dust should contain about rs
percent Of the rotenone and the first
application should be made just as
soon as you see the first small white
butterfly in the cabbage field. Dust
as often as worms are found and be
sure and get the dust down into the
center of the plants. This dust will
also control bean beetles and should
be applied when the first cluster of
eggs are found on the under side of
the bean leaves. For bean beetles
the dust should be applied under the
caves and not on top.
Question: IS THERE ANY
CURE FOR BUMBLEFOOT IN
CHICKENS?
Answer: Where the trouble is not
too severe it is possible to cure it by
making an incision in the injured
foot and carefully removing the in
fected material. The area should
then be sterilized with iodine and
bandaged and the bird kept closely
confined while the wound is heal
ing. However, unless the bird is of
exceptional value no cure should be
attempted as these attempts in the
majority of cases are unsuccessful.

BEST TIME TO TREAT SHEEP

LINED UP AGAINST WAR

A million students in 700 colleges
and 200 high schools-the numbers
were official estimates-left their
classrooms throughout the United

United Student Peace committee.
Just how many participated was
not known.
The greatest demonstrations were

The banjo boys have something on their side,
too. They are impatient to get the rest Of their
handiwork enacted into law and they are afraid
that the longer it is put off the less their chances
are. For example we are already hearing lot
about the rising cost of living. If prices keep
going up the way they are the belief is that the
wages and hours BILL for instance, will have fat
chance of enactment next January or February.
You can imagine too, that it makes the banjo
boys nervous for the congressman to be home
talking to their constituents. There is no telling
what they are saying but the banjo boys know it
is nothing good about them. Their ears, we under
stand, are almost burning off.
In fact, there are lot of things happening to
unsteady them. Louis ]. ODonnell, touring the
South for the Baltimore Sun, reports that he ran

cotton situation, the falling prices and the agree

advantage of the last three-day

Meanwhile. operators Of nearby

one of the largest Labor-Day

Local automobile clubs and
travel agencies indicated that this
years exodus from Washington
would exceed that of last Labor

per cent.
Accident warnings were also
sounded by travel clubs and the
American Red Cross urging motor
lists to exercise a maximum of

the heavy traffic that is antici-
pated on all roads. These agencies
point to statistics to show that
