BY JOYCE WILLIAMS
Home Demonstration Agent

Now is the time to plant the
seed of long season bloomers as
China asters, morning glories,
nasturtinums, single petunias, zin-
Mas, and other annual flowers.
However, do not waste time and
money by planting calendulas,
larkspur, pansies, phlox and
stocks now. These seed should be
planted in the fall.
This is an excellent time to es-
tablish new lawns or renew old
lawns. Pillow, fertilize, disk, har-
row and level your lawn area the
same as you would a fine seed
bed in your garden. Use at least
four pounds of 5-l05 fertilizer to
each 100 square foot area.
In South Mississippi use st.
Augustine grass in shade and car
pet grass in sun or partial shade.
In Central Mississippi plant 10Y
STA grass and Bermuda grass in
sun. In north Mississippi Ken
lucky Bluegrass is best in shady
places and Bermuda grass in sun.

NATL Home Week
10 Be Observed
Beginning May |
To Inform Public
Of Work Done
By Holmes County

Mrs. w. H. Roach. president of
Holmes County Home Demon
stration council, announced Fri
day that the County Home De-
monstration clubs Will observe
National Home Demonstration
week beginning May /. Since
1916, the first week in May has
been set aside to inform the pub
lie what Home Demonstration
clubs are and what their members
do. In Mississippi, today $4,000
farm women are home demonstra-
ton club members. More than
10000 negro farm homemakers
are led by 81 negro home demon
stration agents.
The work originated in 1911
with $50 girls who were members
of Tomato clubs directed by three
women, including Miss Susie v.
Powell, first State Home Demon
stration agent in Mississippi. The
first real home demonstration
clubs were organized by Miss
Powell in 1915.
Mrs. Mary Barrow Geisen sue
ceeded Miss Powell as State Home
Demonstration agent in 1924 but
resigned in 1929 to be replaced by
Miss May Cresswell. The work
started by Miss Powell has grown
so that 70 counties now employ
white Home Demonstration
agents. Fifty-one counties have
Negro Home Demonstration
agents.
During the national observance
of Home Demonstration Club
week, the members will make ra-
dio talks and will speak before
civic groups on what Home De-
monstration Councils and Clubs
are doing. Next week the Rotary
club will hear a similar program.
The clubs will sponsor educa-
tional exhibits as food preserva-
ton exhibits, garden exhibits, rug
exhibits, poultry exhibits and
others in store windows and other
public places in both Durant and
Lexington, according to Miss
Joyce Williams, home demon
stration agent.

Cheese Rules

To make the most of the plenti-
full cheese on markets this spring,
three rules are suggested to the
cook by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
First, go easy on heat. Cheese
needs only enough heat to melt
and blend with other ingredients.
High heat or too long cooking
makes it tough, stringy and lea
thery. Also too much heat may
cause curdling in mixtures of
cheese, egg and milk.
Second, add cheese to other in
gradients in very small bits rather
than in one large piece. When
broken up, cheese spreads more
evenly and quickly among other
ingredients, does not form a solid
lump or curd when the fat melts
up, and allows the mixture to
cook in shorter time. Grating is
the easiest way to break up hard
or dry cheese. Soft cheese may
be shaved thin, flaked with a
fork, pressed through sieve or
run through a meat grinder.
Third, blend cheese in a smoothe
sauce before adding to other in
gradients whenever possible to
prevent curdling. A white sauce
with cheese melted in it may be
poured over cooked vegetables for
a scallop, into beaten eggs for
Welsh rabbit, or on macaroni be-
fore baking.
