OUTLINE COUNTY'S PART IN
DEFENSE PROGRAM

Frank l.. Carr, chairman of Nor
gan County Agriculture Defense
Board and head of local AAA COM
attended district meeting at Ath-
ems, Wednesday,
The purpose of this meeting was
to outline each county's part in the
all "out OUT farm defense program
announced recently by Secretary of
Agriculture. This program calls
for an increase in pork, poultry and
dairy products as we'll as fresh veg
etables for canning, with restric-
tions on such surplus commodities as
wheat, cotton and tobacco. Mr.. Carr
asserted that Morgan county farm
ers would respond to their country's
call, as in the past but cautions local
farmers to avoid plowing up new
crop land as sufficient acres of
farmland are already under cultiva-
ton to meet all need. Better farm
ing of this land will be enough to
put Morgan county over the top.
Members of the local defense
board are Frank l.. Carr, AAA chair
man; James F. Hum, county agent,
and Frederick B. Watson, farm Sc
curity supervisor. Mr.. Carr also re-
vealed that Mrs. Sarah White has
been named farmer fieldwoman for
Morgan county, and will have
charge of the education work among
the farm women and other groups
in the county.

accomplished what no other team
has been able to do in the last nine
football games that the Big Reds
of M. & M. have played-that is to
defeat the Big Reds powerhouse, a
feat of which to be proud. The
Panthers outplayed the Big Reds
and ended on the long end of 20
to 0 score. The records show that
this is the first time that the Big
Reds have been held scoreless since
1898.
The Big Reds were outplayed
throughout almost the entire game.
showing only few times the kind
of football that won the first game
from the Philo Electrics. Only once
did the Big Reds threaten to score
In the final period the Big Reds
marched down the field only to be
stopped on the three yard line when
an attempted pass failed. The
Panthers' first score came in the
second period when King scored
from the five yard line. The extra
point was added by another plunge
by King. In the third quarter LolIo,
scored from the II yard line and
then passed to Smith for the extra
point. King plunged through the
line for the last score in the final
period. Wolfe's attempted place
ment failed. The summary:

the plum tree is also happy.
1t Is the Prunus domestic that
has It's place in history, and 1t and
its descendants are the prime prune
producers. Actually the real differ
ence between the prune and the
plum is the way they are treated
when ripe. The plum is most care
fully handled, packed in boxes and
shipped quickly to the markets be-
fore it is bruised or subject to de-
cay. The prune is a plum permit
ted to dry with all its sweet juices
and its pit left within.
After scientific processes have
been attended to, to keep the dry
ing prune clean and the drying
accomplished in a manner to pre-
serve the fruit for us. nevertheless,
a dried plum is prune. Plums are
served fresh, in preserves, jelly, jam
or butter. Prunes, who shall say?

so much fruit is matured by the

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Dried plums are prunes. 1t Is
harder to give specific advice for
the growing and management of
the plum than for any other COM
mon fruit, because it represents
several distinct species which are
not adapted to thrive equally in all
parts of the country.
A few kinds are grown for their
beautiful and colorful foliage. In
North America the history of the
domesticated plum flora is rather
complex, because we are growing
the specific types known in Europe
and also those of Japan and this
continent.
A nurSeryman will tell you that
the plum is wayward child, de-
termined to have it's own way. 1t
dislikes to stand in an orderly row
in an orchard. 1t resents having
its limbs clipped to prevent its look
ing untidy, and so 1t has been per-
mitted to have its pet kinks if they
