COLUMN
FOR THE VOICE OF THE
PEOPLE
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Some will say, perhaps, that I
should have used this sheet of
paper for a more valuable pur-
pose. That would be true under
ordinary circumstances but I feel
so keenly my indebtedness to you
for the definite services you have
rendered to us and to the rural
people who read your paper that
do not feel this sheet will have
been wasted when it is used to
extend to you my thanks and our
best wishes for a Happy Christ
mas Season.
In other words, those of us
here at State College intrusted
with the responsibility of report
ing back to the people the re-
suits of our research investiga-
tons, our extension demonstra-
tons, and the governmental rul-
ings which affect farm life, feel
that the part which you continue
to play in this effort is one of
greatest value. No one can deny
that the great increase in Vic
tory Gardens was not due in
large measure to the information
which you printed about the gar
dens. You encouraged the pro-
duction of more food of all kinds
and you published the necessary
information pertinent to the pro-
duction of this food.
North Carolina has moved for
ward under the pressure of war
in the production of more beef,
more milk and butter, more chic
kens and eggs, and almost all 9TH
er kinds of foods. The messages
of how to do this, as carried in
your columns week after week,
had its effect.
A significant thing about all
this increased production is that
it was done with less labor and
with less everything else needed
in good farming except the in
domitable will of our people, No
one can realize the difficulties
which had to be overcome by
farm families in bringing about
such a production The encour-
agement and suggestions which
you gave through your news col
umns helped greatly and because
Of this you should feel that you
had a very definite part in win
ming the food production victory
of 1943.
That is why I say this sheet of
paper is not wasted and why I
extend to you again my thanks
and good wishes.
Yours very truly,
F. H. Jeter, Editor

 Spoilage may be detected by soft texture, cheesy, sour or tainted odor, or presence of gas and bulg- ing ends. Do not taste it if there is the slightest indication of spoil age but destroy contents by burn ing or render contents sterile by adding strong disinfectant before disposing of it, or boil it before discarding it where it may con- taminate the soil or poison ami mals.
