It is Gwynn's belief, however,
that conditions leading to the
slaughter of cattle are largely To-

Gwynn asserted that much Of

ed and cattle men are warned
against selling cattle now at sacrl-
flee prices unless they are alb
solutely forced to do So"
After conducting a careful
check of the leading terminal mar,

following factos:

grading medium to good, a de-
cline of from 10 to Is cents per

placement cattle showed a decline

pounds on the better grade cat

The Tar
Heel
Gardener
By John H. Harris
N. C. State College

Where it has not been done,
now is a good time to prune the
grape vines. If pruning is delay
ed until late January or Febru-
airy, it will cause excessive bleed
ing of the vine. This bleeding,
while not usually fatal, should be
avoided by pruning in the fall.
For the bunch grape varieties
pruning consist of cutting back
vines rather heavily every year.
This makes it possible to tram
the vines on two or more horl-
zontal wires. Grape vines grown
in this fashion are easier to spray,
easier to harvest, and will pro-
duce larger and more desirable
fruit.
In pruning muscadine varieties
such as the scuppernong, the main
operation consist OF removing the
dead wood. AS a usual thing,
scuppernong vines are trained on
an overhead trellis, which makes
it hard to do any pruning except
to remove the dead wood and to
keep the vines cut off when they
extend over the sides of the trel.
lis. If systematic and regular
pruning is practiced, muscadine
varieties may be trained on wires
similar to the bunch grapes. This

FARM MACHINERY
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Number OF Rationed Items
Is Reduced From Nine
ty To Thirty-One

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Dec 1.-THE number of farm ma
chimes which will be rationed dur
ing 1914 has been reduced from
81 types to 81 types and the out
look for increased supplies OF ma
chinery next year are much bright
er, J. D. Blickle, Extension agrl-
cultural engineer at State College
said here today.
He pointed out that while only
81 types will be actually rationed,
there are distribution controls on
46 types of farm machinery. Key
items of machinery, most essent-
ial in war food production, are
still On the rationed list. Heavy
demands for such machinery has
made the continuation of rationing
necessary.
3lickle urged growers to make
the best possible use of all new
and used farm machinery, keeping
il in good running condition, stor-
ing it properly, and making plans
for necessary repairs ahead OF the
time when the machines are to be
used
There will not be enough new
machinery so that farmers may
discontinue the plan of sharing
farm equipment and swapping
hand labor for machine labor IN
achieving greater crop produc-
tom. Blickle said.

By THOMPSON GREENWOOD
Editor N. C. Department OF
Agriculture

RALEIGH, Dec. 12-lR-The I'm
precedented movement of cattle
from pasture to packing houses
in recent weeks prompted T. Lee
noir Gwynn, cattle marketing spe-
cialist with the State Department
of Agriculture, to warn produc-
ers of cattle throughout North
Carolina Saturday to familiarize
themselves thoroughly with the
feed and market situations before
liquidating their stock.
"All cattle men-and especial
ly the beef cattle producers and
dealers-should realize that there
is a great deal of propaganda
being issued in regard to the cat
tie situation,'' said Gwynn.
He charged that "many of the
reports to the effect that the cat
tie market is away off are be-
ing circulated by spectators and
INSCRIPTIONS dealers"
During the past two weeks
Gwynn has been making study
of the widespread propaganda
that is being circulated" and he
has come to the conclusion that
much of it is without real foun-
dalton.
There is no question but that
the feed shortage has caused quite
large amount of forced liquida-
ton of cattle throughout this state
and in other states" declared
Gwyrn in commenting on the con-
gested conditions in markets,

Save Vegetables
With Weak Brine

To preserve in weak brine put
the prepared vegetables in clean
crock or wooden tub and cover
them with a brine made of a half
pound of pure granulated salt and
a cup of vinegar in gallon OF
water. To preserve by light salt
ing, sprinkle dry salt between lay
ers of vegetables using one-fourth
pound of salt for each 10 pounds
of vegetable. Cover the vegetables
with several layers of white cheese
cloth tucked down inside the
crock, then with a plate that 1uSs
fits inside the crock and weigh the
plate down with a stone.
The brine should come up over
the plate. Remove the white scum
as it forms on the surface of the
brine by lifting of the stone, plate
and cloth. washing thoroughly and
replacing. Fermenting takes about
two weeks. When the brine stops
bubbling, fermenting is finished and
the vegetables are ready TO pack
in lars and process in boiling water.

HAMPTON INSTITUTE, va. -
(SNS) - Eight students in the
summer school at Hampton Instl-
tute received certificates recently,
upon completion of a six weeks
training in the workshop on the day
care of young children in wartime.
Conducted under the direction of
Mrs. Ida Jones Curry, head OF the
Hampton Institute Nursery School,
the workshop provided training and
practical experience in group activ-
tiles for young children, child feed
ing, and other phases of child-care,
with special reference to the prob
lens of day-care centers.
A unlQIe project undertaken by
the workshop students was the out
lining of plans for remodeling two
local nursery schools into adequate
ly equipped day care centers. The
workers in these schools were also
permitted to attend the workshop.
