mer. Where a new lawn is to be
established, and especially where
peas are growing, the soil should
be broken Immediately, leveled,
and narrowed to a rough finish. It
should stay in this condition until
rains have settled the soil. The
crust should then be broken, I'M
even places leveled and the ferti-
lizer and seed applied.
A heavy application of poultry
or stable manure narrowed or
raked into the soil will serve as
an excellent fertilizer. In addition
to the manure, some such CONNER
cial fertilizer as a SIS may be
used. If no manure is used, this
fertilizer on most soils should be
applied at the rate of Is pounds
per 1000 square feet, or 1000
pounds an acre. The commercial
fertilizer should be reduced in ac-
cordance with the amount of man.

AYRSHIRES PROVE !.
CHEAPEST TO FEED

EGE T1ON,
RALEIGH, Sept. 2. The II Ayr
shire cows at the Piedmont Dairy
Farm at Statesville, with an aver
age production of 912 pounds OF
milk, were the only cows in the
Dairy Herd Improvement Associ-
alton for July that averaged a
feed cost of under one dollar per
100 pounds of milk produced.
Cost for these cows, according
to DR.. C. D. Grinnells, Associate
in Animal Industry with the Agri'
cultural Experiment Station al
State College, was eighty-two cents
per 100 pounds of milk.
He credits these results to ex
cellent pasture in spite of dry
weather, to good care, and to q
, milking herd in good production.
The feed given these cattle con.
sisted of 1881 pounds of concen'
trates, composed of equal parts
of ground corn cob and shucl
meal, and cottonseed meal. NJ
hay was fed, DR.. Grinnells point:
out, as there was ample grazing
of good quality for the cows.
The pasture provided for the
cattle consisted of kudzu that wa:
grazed in the mornings and sudar
grass grazed for an hour every
afternoon. In figuring the cost o.
pasture, two dollars per head pei
month was charged.
AS for management of the herd
DR.. Grinnells says, the herd wa:
handmilked twice a day by {
family operating farm.
In this way, he points out, the
II cows in the herd, through the
use of cheap, nutritious feed, wer.
able to turn in a production RECORD
far ahead of those by most othel
herds in the Association and at ;
cost far below any other. The con
ditions under which the record wa!
made he describes as practical
based upon a sound pasture pro

Manufactured Ice Cream
Wins Praise From Expert

Because there were some I'M
scrupulous ice cream manufacture
ers several years ago who put out
inferior products, many people
still have certain mistaken ideas
about the things of which it is
made.
Actually, ice cream is one Of the
most delicious and nutritious foods
known to man, says DR.. w. M.
Roberts, associate in Animal In
dustry with the Agriculture, Ex-
pertinent Station at State College.
Plain ice cream as defined by
law must contain 10 percent milk
fat and IS percent total solids.
Fruit, nut, and chocolate ice
cream shall contain not less than
8 percent fat, the law says. The
things that make up the total SOL
ids are milk fat, milk solids-not-
fat (proteins, minerals, vitamins,
and sugar., sugar, flavoring, and
stabalizer. Eggs may also be in
Guided if they are desired.
The law restricts the amount OF
stabalizer, which is usually gela-
tin, to one-half of l percent. Con-
trary to general opinion, this sta
balizer or gelatin is not used as
filler but is used to prevent the
formation of large ice crystals. In
fact, gelatin is one of the most ex-
pensive ingredients.
Many people believe that home
made ice cream is much richer
than that made by ice cream
plants. Without doubt, some Of it
may be, however, says DR.. Rob-
erts, the majority of homemade
ice cream is not as high in food
value, because the ncentrated
dairy products are not used to
make it so.
Usually the richer the food, the
less one can eat. Therefore, since
people as a rule judge their likes
of foods by the quantity that they
can consume, they are inclined to
favor the less rich homemade ice
cream. .,..
Ice CT e a m contains approx.
mately so percent by volume Of
air. However, the State law re-
ouires that ice cream shall weigh
at least As pounds per gallon. This
sets very definite limit to the
amount of air that can be whipped
into the ice cream. Nonetheless.
because of certain body and tex
tire characteristics, some air is
desirable.
Other frozen dairy products are
ice milk and sherbet. Ice milk
must contain 4 percent fat and 81
percent total solids. The big diff
ference between ice cream an6
ice milk is that ice milk contains
less fat. and as result, this prod.
net appeals to those people who
do not like a rich ice cream.
Milk sherbet is made from milk
products, water, sugar and fruit.
or fruit juices. 1t must contain at
least percent by weight of milk
solids.
Therefore, in any food program
for better health, it is desirable
to include these nutritious dairy
foods, DR.. Roberts says.

Troy Cotton Acreage
Poorest In Years

TROY, Sept. IA reduction in
acreage, the inability to get good
stands, and a heavy boil weevil in
festation have caused local farm
ers to produce one of the lowest
quality cotton crops on record, il
was reported here by Couny Agent
r. E. Davenport of the State Col.
lege Extension Service. Tobacco
and other crops, however, have
produced and are producing gooc
yields, and farmers generally are
crediting 1945 as being one of t.,.e
best years for food and feed pro
duction, Davenport said.

MACS. HEAD, N. CAS- else
where over the nation. visitors
and natives of the Outer Banks of
North Carolina are food conscious.
Meat comes to this particular part
of the banks on Thursdays and
Saturdays, and there is never
enough to go around. The early
buyers are the only satisfied ones.
We at Mays Head 60 to Twitords
at Kill Devil Hill for our meat or
take the longer trip to Manteo
where the supply is divided be-
tween those of Roanoke Island and
those of the Banks. Bacon is non
existent. Fat back can be bought
occasionally and the thrifty house
wife saves the grease for frying
fish. There are plenty of fish and
this is blessing. The sound has
been filled all year and some of
the commercial fishermen say
that they are satisfied with their
catches. 1 saw one boatload come
into Wanchese the other morning
loaded to capacity with choice
mackerel, croakers, spots, and
smaller kinds.
The croakers have attained I'M
usual size this year and have been
responsible for some of these 49,
10000 catches recently reported.
The sport fishing has not Jared so
well in this particular area. There
were drum and blue fish in Ore
gon Inlet early in the season, but
only the most optimistic visitor
makes the trip at tbs season.
Wanchese fishermen discourage
trips down there. but if the guilt
BILE uplander insists on going, they
will take his $500 and do the
best they can for him. Most of
the fish are being caught in the
sounds that surround Roanoke Is
land. Captain Rogers. who main
tanned the fishing equipment CEN

Mays Head and Manteo for so
many years has retired to a well
earned rest.

tain. Old timers who have come
to Mays Head for years, miss the

strawberries. Over on the main
land, blueberries seem well suited
and they pay handsome returns.
All along the banks. poultry and
turkey growing is well adapted.
Some are making money now
from their small flocks and with
the re-opening of the Pageant next
summer, there will be good
market for all the small fruits,
vegetables, poultry, eggs, and
other food that can be produced.
In fact, such a market exists at
the present time. Much of the food
except fish, consumed here is
brought in trucks from the Eliza
beth City or Norfolk markets. We
hope to make the Island and the
Banks more self sustaining in the
future"
Mr.. Smith says this means
working through the young people
almost entirely; because, the old
folks still look 10 the sea for both
food and income.
Dare has been fortunate that
when the Pageant was closed be-
cause of war emergencies, the
Navy made a base for it's coastal
fl.ers over on the Croatan side of
the Island opposite Fort Raleigh.
Not only did the construction of
this base offer jobs for many Dare
folks, but, those who operate the
base found rooms in the homes
of hospitable citizens and aided in
the family income.
The shortage of meat, brought
fish to the fore as a food and
profitable catches have been sold
as fast as they could be taken
from the nets. On the whole, there
fore, Dare has not suffered too
much in income loss, except from
tie two storms and the fire which
wiped out the Manteo water front
two years ago. This has been re-
built now with modern brick struc-
ture, and Manteo is rapidly be-
coming modern county seat
town.
Dare has suffered this summer
along with the remainder of the
state from excessive rainfall. The
gardens have been almost ruined,
especially where drainage is not
good. And there have been more
MOSQUITOES. Dare people look for
ward to the time when the new
wonder insecticide DOT becomes
available because as they say, II
