Stallworth, County Home Demonstration Ag ent, By Winthrop College.) The food selection standard used by the Extension Service, U. S. De partment of Agriculture, calls for the following daily allowance for 1 person: 1 quart of milk for each child and 1 pint a day for each adult. 2 vegetables a day (preferably a leafy one) besides potatoes. 2 servings of fruits (one raw fruit or vegetable or canned toma toes if possible). 1 or more servings of whole grain cereal. 1 serving of any two of these: cheese, eggs, lean meat or dried peas or beans. From facts available let us see how nearly South Carolina fam ilies are supplied with the essential $oods called for by above standard. Statistics from the census of 1930 show: Population of South Carolina 1,738,763 Number of farms 157,931 Number of chickens raised 7,447,403 Number of chickens per capita available in yearly production —— 4.2 Eggs produced in dozens..15,907,485 Number of eggs per cap ita available in yearly production .3 egg daily Number of gallons milk produced 52,525,520 Number gallons milk per capita available in yearly production 30 gallons or .3 qt. daily A recent survey of the “milk drinking” by school children in Co lumbia showed 26 per cent cf ihe children drinking “no milk.” In a Garden Study made in.

Every family keeping 35 good hens for providing sufficient eggs for home consumption, and raising 100 young chickens for table use. When the hogs are butchered, can or cure some of the lean meat for use next summer. If this can not be done at home, a practical and economical plan was worked out with the ice manufacturers in a number of counties the past year for curing meat.- It would be well for a committee from this group, and the home agent, to see what can be done in this county. In addition to a winter garden, can, dry, and store fruits and vege tables by the state budget which follows: Vegetable and Fruit Canning and Storage 1 Budget (Allows 1 vegetable and 2 fruits) (daily for 1 person for 6 months) (Should be supplemented by 1) (fresh vegetable daily) Product Amount Method Greens 4 qts.

After this is done im mediately haul leaves and straw covering the entire patch about 12 or 15 inches deep. The potatoes will come up through the covering of litter and bear well. They will stand in the ground all the winter and spring in the lower Pee Dee and Central Districts but in the Piedmont District they will have be dug and stored on account of severe weather.

Right now in June is the time to prepare the soil for a good fall garden, so let us ta^e time by the fore lock and get ready for a rec ord breaking fall garden, first to have an abundant provision for our own families and a surplus to help those who are not so fortunate as to . * possess one in this period of dras tic adversity. However, “where there is a will there is a way” and almost every family can raise some vegetables somewhere. “He chat provideth not for his own house hold is worse than the infidel.” So be it. Plan, plant, produce, pro vide and prosper! Planting Plan Following is a table of Vegetable Planting for June and July: Corn—Stovell’s Evergreen, Coun try Gentlemen and Golden Bantam. Beans—(Bunch String Beans), Late Refugee and Stringless Green. Beans—(Pole), Round Kentucky Wonder and McCaslain. Coilards — Georgia, Georgia Southern or Cabbage Collard. Cabbage Seed—Succession, late Flat Dutch and Sure Head. Tomato Seed—(June Planting),. Hasting’s or Burpee’s Matchless. New Stone, Greater Baltimore and Margiobe. Wilt Resistant. These seed should ba planted in June. Transplant In June Tomato, sweet potato, eggplant and pepper for fall. The last week in June plant mustard, blackeyed peas, cushaw, white egg turnip and Hubbard Squash. * Set tomato plants if you can get them, seed maybe planted until June 20. Mulch the vines from spring planting v/ith straw leaves or litter to conserve moisture and produce a longer fruiting season. Tomato plants may be transplanted from June planting of seed from August first to September first. Secure Lookout Mountain Irish Potato seed and plant in July from 15th to August 1. If you happen to have any storage Irish Cobblers left over from spring use those as planting seed. Did you ever make a Lazy Man’s Bed of Irish Potatoes for fall? If you do not crave work it is a very convenient project to control. Select your plot for the potatoes broadcast with well de composed barnyard manure. Be gin the plowing on the outside peri meter of the potato plot. Let a boy follow the plowman dropping the seed potatoes, either cut or small whole potatoes, in the furrow at proper distances. The next fur row plowed on the inside coners the first one planted. Continue The farmer who used to put down a barrel of cabbage sauerkraut each fall may add another product to his list. Turnip sauerkraut is a new appetizing food suggested by the United States Department of Agri culture. The department finds that a good sauerkraut can be made from medium sized, purpie-top -urnips. They should be firm, sweet, and juicy in order to allow proper fer mentation and flavor. The fleshy part of the root is ground or shred ded and mixed with salt at the rate of 4 ounces of salt to 10 pounds of turnips. The mixture is then pack ed in stone jars, weighted down, and allowed to ferment. Turpip sauerkraut may be stored at a low temperature for some time, the department says. It has a sharp flavor, closely resembling good cabbage sauerkraut. Most of the turnip flavor is lost when the kraut ferments. GREENWOOD, S. C.

This fact was brought out in investigations which engineers of the bureau of agricultural en gineering made on surface temper atures of refrigerator cars to de termine an economical distribution of insulating material to the walls, floor, and roof. Tests show that outside surface temperatures cf a car and the resulting heat penetration into the car were materially affected by solar radiation and by color of paint used on roof, sides, and ends. They also show that the differ ence between air and surface tem peratures for stationary cars was about twice as great as for mov ing cars. Under like conditions of radia tion and exposure to sunshine it was found that car surfaces paint ed red are hotter than those paint ed yellow but cooler than those painted black. x INSTRUCTOR FOREMAN EXAMINATIONS ANNOUNCED Notice We Are Changing Pic tures Every Day Next Week.
