COOKING TURKEY
Do you feel your family is too
small for a big Thanksgiving tur-
key? Try half or a quarter turkey
this year, it will cut down roast-
ing time and you won't have the
problem of leftovers.
Here are directions for roasting-
a half or quarter turkey.
Rub the cut side with salt. Skew-
er skin to meat along cut edges
to hold the skin and meat togeth-
er during roasting. Tie the leg to
the tail piece and tie a cord ar-
ound the breast to hold the wing
flat.
Place the bird, skin side up, on
a rack in a shallow pan. Grease
with cooking fat and cover with
a fat-moistened cheesecloth. Baste
during roasting. Set over for 325
degrees.
Here is a guide for roasting
times.
3'¿ to 5 pounds, 3 to 3Vá hours.
5 to 8 pounds, 3% to 4 hours.
8 to 12 pounds, 4 to 4'i> hours.
Prepare your favorite stuffing
as usual and bake in a greased
pan or casserole during the last
one or one and one-half hours of
roasting time. To perk up the
stuffing, baste with pan drippings
or giblet broth.
allum and other crops containing
prussic acid. For further informa-
tion contact your veterinarian or
county extension agents.
With the frost and increasing
cold weather, fires will become an
increasing hazard. Be especially
careful burning trash. Trash fires
start the largest majority of our
grass and forest fires. Hunters, be
careful about camp fires and
smoking.
Hunters should respect proper-
ty owners rights, and get permis-
sion from landowners before go-
ing on his land. Hunters who do
not obey these rules of courtesy
often cause other hunters to be
banned from hunting.
Be careful during hunting sea-
son. Cherokee County cannot
spare a life.
For information on most agri-
cultural and home economic sub-
jects, consult your county exten-
sion agents.

FARM-CITY WEEK
This week is being observed
throughout the United States and
Canada as the fourth annual Farm-
City Week. The U. S. Department
of Agriculture is again cooperat-
ing with this observance by help-
ing to promote better understand-
ing between rural and urban peo-
ple.
Members of the Reklaw Organ-
ized Community celebrated the oc-
casion by sponsoring an evening
meal for the Rusk Lions Club and
other local businessmen and their
wives. Ladies of the Organized
Community prepared and served
the delicious meal to those who
attended at one dollar per plate.
Proceeds from the supper will
be used to build and improve the
children's playground in the Com-
munity. The Ponta Community is
also planning a similar celebra-
tion for members of the Commun-
ity and others who wish to attend.
Central High Community has
scheduled an evening of fun No-
vember 29th including dominoes
and other games for citizens of.
Alto and vicinity.
The aim of both Farm-City
Week and the Rural Development
Program is the same: Cooperation,
between rural and urban people
to build a better tomorrow. They
fit together and can be celebrated
together.

Shall We Reap

ro#, Chairman of the Horticulture
Committee, Rusk Garden Club)
It's not too late to plant spring
blooming plants now.
The culture is simple. Most of
them do well in any good garden
soil. Bulbs need to be moved only
once in three to five years.
Small bulbs such as Snowdrops,
Crocus, Scillas, Grape Hyacinths,
and Jonquils will continue to
bloom and multiply for years with
little or no care, if planted in
wooded areas where there is par-
tial shade and plenty of light and
in places that will not be mowed.
Under garden care these some-
times need to be divided and re-
set, but only once in four to six
years. Early summer until late
fall is a good time to reset bulbs.
Larger bulbs of the Narcissus'
family should be reset once in
three to five years. Tulips should
be lifted and stored in a dry place
as soon as the foliage has ripened
to insure continuous bloom. The
care of tulip beds is very easy,
need no care other than to plant
and lift when you want to; how-
ever tulip bulbs are inexpensive
enough to plant new bulbs every
few years rather than lift and
store if you have only a little
time for gardening. Small bulbs
should be planted about two to
four inches deep and three to five
inches apart; larger varieties five
to eight inches deep and six to
eight inches apart.
Let's not forget the Daylilies and
Iris. If Daylilies and Iris have be-
come crowded they can be suc-
cessfully moved at this time. And
DO try at least one new variety
for next spring's blooms!

Vocational Agriculture Instructors
Rusk and Maydelle High Schools)
school vocational agricul-
a laboratory for applied
sincere purpose for learning such. 1700 B.C.
Science and math may not be
extra ordinarily meaningful to a
youngster in the laboratory but
the fundamental processes should.
become real and meaningful as
taught in every unit of vocational
agriculture.
High
ture is
science and math.
Teachers of vocational agricul-
ture have long realized the im-
portance of training scientists.
Without agricultural scientists, it
would have been impossible to
have made the progress in agri-
culture that has been made during
the past few years.
There is still a great need for
scientists in agriculture. Each
year in agricultural research there
is a need for approximately 1,000
more research workers than is av-
ailable. The future will probably
demand even more than this.
A study of vocational agricul-
ture can be the beginning of a ca-
reer in science. A very large por-
tion of the material studied is of
a scientific nature. In studying an-
imal production, students learn
about nutrients, vitamins, repro-
duction of animals, digestive pro-
cesses, and many other such
things.
When studying crop production,
students learn about the chemis-
try of fertilizers, plant reproduc-
tion, the science of genetics, and
other scientific facts.
Mathematics, which is some-
times thought of as a dry, unin-
teresting subject, is made to have
real life meaning when applied to
the field of vocational agricul-
ture. For example, geometry has
real meaning to students when ap-
plied to the measurements of
fields, pastures, barns, etc. Arith-
metic, when used to calculate the
price of commodities has a real
life meaning and students have a

The home gardener should be
preparing now for next spring.
The garden site should be clear-
ed of old plant growth including
weeds and grass and if the plants
are not diseased the material
should go into a compost pile.
Plant residue may also be plowed
under as another method for clear-
ing the garden area.
It would be wise to take a soil
sample of your home garden plot
in order to determine what analy-
sis fertilizer is best and the am-
ount that should be applied. A
County-Wide Soil Testing Program
is now under way. Inquire at the
Agricultural Extension Service
Office for details.
Dusters and Sprayers should be
given a. thorough cleaning and
stored for the winter. A thin cov-
ering of oil on the metal parts is
advisable.
Left-over chemicals should be
stored in air-tight containers that
have been carefully labeled. Care
should be taken to place all chem-
icals out of reach of children.
Bulletins on Vegetable Garden-
ing are available at the Agricul-
tural Extension Service Office.
