tenn is the preparation of the
road base before final surfacing.
To guarantee long life and easy
maintenance of the finished .
roadway, particular attention
has been given to provide a
firm, consolidated foundation. A
typical method used to accom-
plish this purpose is illustrated
above.
Here, a carefully proportioned
mixture of coarse and fine soil
materials has been placed on
the roadway, then stabilized
with calcium chloride, a chemi-
cal used to absorb and retain
moisture. During the time pre-
ceding application Of the BIZ
luminous surface, this stabilized
layer solidifies and packs down
as dense as concrete. In furnish
ing this firm foundation for the
final surface, the engineers have

Strawberries are plentiful now,
and perhaps there are some people
who would like to save the fruit for
use next winter. The recipes below
have been recommended by the Ex-
tension Economist in Food Conserva-
ton and Marketing.
Canned Strawberries
Wash berries thoroughly, but
quickly. Do not allow them to stand
in the water. Remove caps and
measure. For every quart of berries
used, add one cup of sugar Do not
add any water. Put berries and sugar
into a shallow enamelware preserv-
ing kettle and bring slowly to the
bailing point. Reduce the heat and
let the berries simmer gently for ten
minutes. Remove from stove. Cover
and let stand overnight to absorb the
syrup. The following morning re-
heat to boiling point and pour i'm
mediately into hot sterilized jars.
Add enough hot syrup to cover the
berries, Seal and process for five
minutes at boiling point. This recipe
preserves the color of the berries and
they will not rise to the top of the
jar.
Strawberry Preserves
2 quarts berries 6 pounds) cups
sugar 6 pounds).
Cover the berries with boiling
water for two minutes. Drain quickly
and add four cups of sugar. Boil two
minutes after the entire mass is
bubbling. Remove from the fire and
after all bubbling has stopped, add
two more cups of sugar and boil for
five minutes. Pour into shallow pans
and let stand overnight. Next morn
ing pack the cold preserves into hot
Sterllized jars, process five minutes
at simmering point and seal i'm
mediately.
Jam (Strawberry, Raspberry or
Dewberry)
z quarts berries 6 poundS) AZ
cups sugar (2A pounds).
Crush berries, add the sugar and
cook until sheet of jelly forms
When poured from the sideS of a
spoon. The jam should be stirred
constantly with wooden spoon dur
ing the cooking. When it is finished,
pour Immediately into hot sterilized
jars and seal.

Price Drop In
Feeds Halted
During Week

Raleigh, May 27.-Wheat millfeeds
markets turned slightly firmer dur
ing the past week and the sharp
doWntrend in prices was checked
states the u. S. and North Carolina
Department of Agriculture in the
weekly news service review. Lighter
offerings by mills and some broaden
ing in demand were the principal
Strengthening influences. Corn feeds,
however, turned weaker as demand
slackened. High protein concentrates
held about steady. The index num-
Der of feedstuffS prices was not ma
terially changed and stood at 1898
compared with 1895 week ago.
Prices of farmers stock virginia
type peanuts show little change from
those of last week although there has
been a slight weakening of the mar
Set for cleaned and Shelled peanuts.
Best jumbos now command about
cents; best bunch 35s cents and best
shelling stock 3 to 33s cents per
pound delivered. Spanish farmers
stock is practically exhausted and no
recent sales have been reported.
At the periods close increased re-
ports of crop deterioration resulting
from dry weather caused Chicago
grain futures prices to make sharp
advances. Al Chicago wheat closed
up 212 cents to tvs cents; corn ad-
vanced 13s$cents to 517s and oats
were up Ia cents to "a cents.
In spite of the production of hatch
cry chicks in April being the largest
of any month on record with the
South Atlantic States showing a Fl
per cent increase over last April; the
average farm laying flock and farm
holdings of young chickens on May
l being about 5 per cent larger than
year ago, and farm prices of chick
ems during the past several months
ranging about cents per pound
under the previous year poultry and
egg prices on the Northern Wholesale
markets changed very little during
the past week.
A general decline on all slaughter
cattle feature the weeks trade, even
speciality steers sharing in a down.
turn from which nothing escaped.
Hogs also worked lower but staged a
slight rally after mid-week, while
the fat lamb trade was featured by
set of slow moving markets through
out the period. Prime steers at 1880
on the Chicago market were COM
parable with recent 14.OO offerings.
Top hogs fell below 700 for the first
time in more than four years, while
spring lambs topped at 1915 with
best old crop wooled offerings at $50.
Hog prices were definitely on the
down grade until later in the week
and then the reaction was limited to
minor proportions. Starting the week
with a peak of ITO at Chicago the
outside prices slipped to $50 at mid
week, the lowest point registered in
more than four months.
