Lack OF Nitrogen Can
Limit Corn Production

depends somewhat on soil texture.
Regardless of pattern of application
total nitrogen for corn should be APP
proximately 20 per cent greater
than pos or K2O. This usually
means side-dressing applications of
20 to 80 lbs of N per acre.
The most popular grades of fer
tilizer for corn contain less nitrogen
than phosphoric acid and potash. In
recent years these fertilizers have
been in the l-2-2 (5-l0-l0. l-6-6
t2-l2-l2) and 1873 (4-12-l2l ratios
These three ratios are satisfactory
for corn only where additional nitro
gen is supplied from nitrogen fer
tilizer materials. manures. legume
cover crops. etc. However. where
additional nitrogen will be supplied
these ratios are quite satisfactory,
particularly on coarse teXtured or
sandy soils.

considerably more nitrogen in the
soil than is required by the corn
or it cannot take up what it needs.

nitrogen used as side-dressing on
corn should be applied by the time

Pathologist Explains
Use OF Materials
For Tobacco Diseases

A Qualification of what to use to
control certain tobacco diseases

Femme, plant pathologist at VPI.
Farmers have been asking about
the ACCESSIBILITY of using certain
antibiotics which. advertisements

The antibiotics are very effective
in control of Wildfire and blackfire
but are not very effective in the
control of bluemold They are not
recommended for bluemold control
in the flue-cured area.
However. in the hurley belt OF
southwest Virginia where Wildfire is
the most serious plant bed disease

is ladled into jelly glasses to

ing and storing in the refrig-

the flavor and color of the
fresh fruit plus an attractive
jellied texture that makes it
spread well. 1t keeps in the
refrigerator a few months or
in the freezer as long as a year,
but because it is uncooked. it
won't keep on the kitchen

best, use it promptly after

Two points about using this
type of jam: If it's too firm
when opened for serving, stir
ring will soften it. If it tends
to separate, stirring will blend
it again.
For jam of finest color and
flavor. use fully ripe but sound
fruit, sorted and washed. Re-
move caps and stems from
berries and peels and pits from
peaches. Grind blueberries,
but crush other berries or
peaches.
To make about nine 6-ounce
glasses of jam, use three cups
crushed fruit. This takes
about a quart of blueberries,
l12 to 2 quarts of other berries
or 211a pounds Of peaches.
Here's the recipe: Ingre-
olentS-S cups crushed fruit;
5 cups sugar; l package pow
dered pectin; l cup water. To
make: Add sugar to crushed
fruit, mix well and allow to
stand 20 minutes with occa-
sional stirring. Dissolve the
powdered pectin in the water,
bring to a boil and boil /
minute. Add the pectin solu-
ton to the fruit and sugar
mixture and stir 2 minutes.
Ladle jam into jelly glasses,
filling to about "a inch of the
rim. Cover and let stand until
jellied (may take "a to 40
hours. Then seal with hot
paraffin and cover with metal
lid. Put in freezer or refrig-
orator promptly.

Placing Home
Food Freezer

Where can we put a home
freezer?" is a question for fam
lilies to think about before buy
ing. The ideal location, from
the operating standpoint, is a
cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
Dsmpness may damage not
only exposed metal surfaces
but also the motor. motor sup
ports, and springs. In a damp
place, moisture is likely TO con-
dense on the freezer's outer
walls and may even drip to
form pools on the floor.
q Needs Air
Circulation Of air is needed
10 remove the heat from the
condenser Therefore a freezer
should not be fitted tightly
into a niche with walls on
three sides.
Another requirement for the
freezer location is a strong
floor. Freezers are heavy, even
when empty, and full load Of

Jun1 in Freezer

Strawberries, raspberries,
blackberries, blueberrieS and
peaches proved successful for
making uncooked jam with
fruit pectin in tests by home
economists of the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture as part of research on
home utilization of fruit.
This type of jam is very
easy to make. A pectin Solu-
ton is stirred into sweetened

food may add several hundred
pounds. Upright freezers con-
centrate more weight per
square foot on a floor than
horizontal ones Of the same
capacity. A solidly built floor
will reduce the noise Of freezer
operation.
Convenience
Convenience Of location is q
point for the homemaker to
consider but usually is not of
major Importance, since a
freezer need be opened only
once or twice a day.
A basement generally offers
more space than kitchen or
utility room. Often 1t has the
lowest temperature in the
house. II the basement is the
chosen location. stairs that are
well-lighted and safe are es-
sential to prevent accidents.
A garage attached TO the
house may be q satisfactory
place for the freezer. 1t is
fairly convenient and ordi-
narlly the temperature will not
fall low enough TO interfere
with freezer operation.

There's no need to wonder when it's time to fold this omelet over because it doesn't fold. It just puffs up and up .. and stays up while you cut and serve it. All the cooking is done in the oven, except for melting the cheese in the top of double boiler. Be sure to use a sharp cheese, since the eggs are rather bland favored. A skillet will do nicely for the bak- ing dish or use an oven-proof cas- serole that will double as a serv- ing dish.
