Storage Campaign
(Furnished Mrs. Nell A. 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

Eggs produced in dozens..15,907,485
Number of eggs per cap

Number of gallons milk
produced 52,525,520
Number gallons milk per

Suggestive Ways for a Better and
More Evenly Distributed
Food Supply
Every family own a cow or cows
to supply the required supply of
milk necessary for health.
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

What To Plant Now
For A Fall Garden
planting in this manner covering
the preceding row each time with
the present planting one until you
get to the center of the patch when
the entire area will be planted and
covered. 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.

Paints Of Light
Colors Reduce The
Heat Penetration
Light-colored paints on roofs of
refrigerator cars cause a reduction
in heat absorption, reports che
United States Department of Agri
culture. 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.
