Plans for the 1932 Christmas
Seal Sale for McCormick County
are now complete, and the thous
ands of seals, which if laid end to
end, would pave a health street to
many tuberculosis sufferers, are in
the hands of the many volunteer
salesmen.
Mrs. Leonard Britt, rural chair
man, has visited all the Home
Demonstration Clubs and they have
gladly agreed to conduct the sale
in their respective communities.
The Messenger will gladly publish
the name and president of the club
which raises the greatest amount
for this worthy cause.
Mrs. C. H. Huguley, who has
charge of the sale in town, is this
week giving the school children an
opportunity to buy the seals. Ev
ery child who buys as much as 5
cents worth of seals is given a
badge, the double cross.
Next week a group of ladies will
canvass the town. Later booths
will be arranged down town for this
purpose.
The money raised each year this
way determines the length of time
the field workers spend in this
county. Miss Jennie McMaster was

Mrs. Eugene Crawford, Count:#
Chairman of Agriculture, of the
County Council of Farm Women,,
has received a letter from Mrs. N.
K. Gantt, State Chairman of Agri
culture, of the State Council cf
Farm Women, from which the fol
lowing excerpts are taken:
The following outline is submit
ted as a basis of the year’s work for
the “Live At Home—in a Better
Home” Campaign:
1. Grow your own food, and have
your tenants do the same.
a. Vegetables the year roumf
for table, canning, and mar
ket.
b. Milk and butter from thor-
obred, blood-tested cows.
c. Meats: pork, beef, mutton,,
from good stock.
d. Poultry, chickens, turkeys,
ducks, for table and markei-
e. Fruits and nuts.
f. Wheat and corn for meaL
hominy, and flour.
2. Grow food for farm livestock.
a. The usual grains for barn
yard animals.
b. An assortment, including:
sunflower and millet seed,,
for Poultry. 4
3. Grow your own blankets,
a: Initial cost of sheep h
small, upkeep is little.
b. Two medium sized sheep
produce enough wool an
nually for a pair of super
quality blankets.
c. In addition, lamb is a rare-
table treat, and very salable.
d. Hides sell readily, or are
quite usable when property
home tanned.
4. Patronize your local markets
'"and ,J %ietehants when buy
ing'of food products is nec
essary.
5. Make your home a better
* home. • ^
a. Where funds are available*
(materials are very cheap!
now is the time to make
long needed improvements.
b. Where finances prevent
marked innovations:
1. Keep what you have in tqsr
top condition.
2. Avoid the run down look. ,
3. Take advantage of tbr
smallest opportunity t>
make a change for the bet
ter in comfort, convenience,,
or appearance.
4. Encourage children to help
beautify the home, and
make it a cheerful place*
where they may alwayx
bring their friends.
You probably have ideas whick
added to this outline will improve it
greatly, and make of it a real guide
in your home plans for the year.
It is needless to say that this de
partment endorses and wishes
sneourage 4-H clubs, markets, an<£
fairs in every way. The suggest
ions listed here are given with ns-

during the winter with belt jobs,
sawing wood, feed grinding, etc.
Cut in cotton stalks and other
material on the land with a disc

. Build and repair terraces now so
that they may settle before the

repair fences if you are to handle
livestock.
Store machinery that was used
during cultivating season and
grease parts that are likely to rust.
Build a meat-curing ice box to
save farm meat.
1. 4-H Clubs:
