PRESERVE EGGS NOW
WITH WATER-GLASS
They Will Be Ready For Eating
Neat Winter
SSL
An ample supply of eggs for use
next winter may be put under water*
glass now and kept In excellent con
dition until then. Water-glass may be
broiuftt at your drug store and a quart,
costing twenty to thirty cents, will pre
serve fifteen dozen eggs. A five gallon
•container will hold the number of eggs
Very conveniently.
J In preserving eggs the essential
•point la to have fresh, clean, Infertile
^sggs. However, fertile eggs may be
used If kept cool prior to being pre-
I served. Eggs should be collected from
nest twice a day as heat from hens
starts developments in the figg. If
eggs are slightly soiled, they may be
cleaned with vinegar.
The container should 9 be cleaned
thoroughly. Mix one part of water*
•glass with nine parts of water, which
has been heated to boiling and cooled.
This amount will cover fifteen dozen
eggs. The mixture is poured into con
talnor, and the eggs are then added un
til two Inches from top of solution.
If a large number are to be preserved
at once, It is a little easier to place
eggs in container and then add the
mixed solution. A cover should then
be placed on to prevent evaporation.
Keep preserved eggs In cool place.
Eggs are easier to preserve than
fruit or vegetables so one can blame
•himself only if he is without eggs next
winter. Every home should put down
several dozen, depending on the size
of the family. Even the producer can
realize a fine proflt by this method.
Water-glass eggs sold last winter as
‘high as sixty cents a dozen and were
'preserved when ckbh were twenty-five
cents a dozen at a cost of three cents
;a dozen. Eggs have been kept four*
,teen months in water-glass and then
considered better than storage eggs.
Very few people realize the import
ance and value of preserving eggs In
the home fbr winter use. From pres
ent indications the output of eggs this
looming winter will be considerably
•decreased while the consumption, ow
ing to the scarcity of other foods, Is
land will be greatly increased. This
will cause the few available eggs to
cost more than lost winter.
A person preserving eggs at this
time is rendering his country, a serv
ice by helping next winter’s food sup
ply and at the same time making a
a proflt or a saving of at least twenty-
five cents a dozen. For further Infor

MILL OWNER GETS NEW
LIGHT JM PATRIOTISM
Some of the owners of Southern
Industral pleats foel that they have
been made to carry their full share
of the burden of thp war Ihrouuli the
Income lax and excessive prollls laws,
but one has been convinced that he
Is being "let down" rather lightly
thus far.
The incident' occurred In the direc
tors’ room of a hank. Tho president
af n mill. In discussing war finances
remarked: “Fve paid the Government
H5,000 Income tnx and I 'don’t see
how I enn Invest very heavily In Gov-
ornment bonds."
“How much of the remaining 55
Jor cent of your Ineoino would have
termed under business rendition,
Dlher than those now existing?" One
of his friends nsked.
The mill owner seemed perplexed.,
Kb oil the men In the group were*
friends tho president at the hank
mentioned that the mill owner's hmil-
ness had Increased 35 per cent during
the past year, acrnrdng to the bank
records.
"As a matter of fact," his friend
remarked, "You have paid but ten per
cent on normal business. You haven't
been hard hit at nil."
The mill owner confessed this was
t new view point to him.
The owner of a large mercantile
souse made a confession at this
point. He said hla income tax had
‘mounted to $15,000 and he had
thought he had done a great deal, but
he realised now that he was doing
comparatively little.
The mill owner and the merchant
both pledged to Invest heavily in the
Third Liberty Loan to keep their con
science clear toward the Government
And the others enjoyed a good
laugh.
PEANUTS
RE MARKETED NOW?
Wfctrrvivr jt pay.* better to market
peanuts at the oil milj» or to let tho
hoga harvest the nulfi Is of interest
to farmers now In deciding the acre
age and the variety of peanuts that
they will plant, also the number of
bogs they must have on band when
the crop is ready to harvest.
An agricultural survey made in
Brooks county, covering two hvsdred
and eighteen farms, shows that on
an average one acre of Spanish pea-
nuta will carry five one hundred and
fifty pound bogs from August first to
September twentieth, with a .gain in
weight of three hundred and fifty-eight
pounds, which, at twelve cents |t
pound, would be worth $42.95. The
average cost of these peanuts hogged
off was $11.09 per acre which shows
a proflt of $31.86.
On these same farms the peanuts
harvested show an average yield of
thirty-seven bushels or eleven hun
dred and ten pounds which at $120.00
a ton would be worth $66.60. The
average coat of these peanuts when
modern picking machinery is used Is
about $20.00 per acre* so that the
profit vwould be $46.60 per acre.
This indicates a greater profit on
the side of tjie marketing for oil. It
must be remembered also that these
farmers have been growing hogs for
market for many years and are skill
ed .in handling them. When on pea
nuts ample mineral matter must be
supplied to secure good gain.
This survey shows that on an aver
age the North Carolina, or Running,
Peanuts furnishes grazing for about
four one hundred and fifty pound hogs
from September fifteenth until Jan
uary first, giving an average gain of
four hundred and two pounds of pork
per acre. They are well adapted for
late grazing for hogs, but are more
difficult to harvest.
The use of hogs to harvest peanut*
is preferable where land is plentiful,
labor Is scarce, increase of fertility is
advisable, and capital is sufficient.
The production of winter grazing
crops for the hogs also gives profitable
employment at Bensons when work It
sjack.
f It Is probable that with the cotton
acreage of South Georgia reduced by
the boll weevil that a combination of
some peanuts for market and some for
hogs will pay best as the substitute
for cotton ns a cash crop. This Is
especially true under the present la
bor conditions where the supply of
labor Is hard to get and uncertain in
the length of time that It will be avail
able. The farmer who plans to hog
off part of his peanuts and harvest
the balance for the oil mill Is playing
safe, in that he can harvest his crops
with tho hogy if he lacks a supply of
labor In the fall, or the price of pen-
nuts should drop too low, or If the
price of peanuts Is good and labor
available he can hnrvest most of them,
save the waste with his hogs, and mar
ket the hogs enrller. For these rea
sons it will probably pay to use more
of the North Carolina peanuts for
market them is tho custom at the
present time in South Georgia, where
the white-skinned Spanish variety is
planted almost exclusively for mar
ket purposes.—Prof. G. C. Schcmpp,

BOLL WEEVIL FIGHT
SHOULD BEGIN EARLY
Pick By Hand Weevils Appear
ing In Early Season
Everythin!! possible should he done
to promote rapid growth of cotton
plants in early spring, so as to has-
len the formation of flower buds, or
squares, before heavy weevil Infesta
tion occurs. The most Important
means to this ond Is frequent and
•hallow cultivation to conserve the
moisture, and with the present labor
■hortage, two-horse riding cultivators
should be more generally used for
this purpose. Cultivate after every
rain. If possible, since this helps to
prevent the shedding of early squares.
Pick the weevils by hand ns soon as
they are found In the Held. It Is very
Important that an attempt be made
to pick all the weevils that have gone
through the winter and entered the
cotton flelda In the spring. At such
time no eggs are being laid. The wee
vil only lays eggs in punctured
squares, and no squares are yet form
ed. Since there are only a Iaw wee
vils in the field at this time, they
are herd to And, and it requires pains
taking care to pick them. They can
be located by the appearance of that
plants on which they an feeding
They aatltate the tender bode In the
top of the plants, and every bod thus
Injared by the weevil turns brown.
By earefnly searching such plants, one
or more weevils will usually be found
hiding In some Inconspicuous place.
Of all ttmee at which weevils may
be picked, early picking before the egg
laying seasoo begins la the most im
portant. A cental search should he
made for them every weak even if
only a few weevils can ha found par
,. In a abort time, they will begin
laying ahoat eight eggs par day, and
If each egg Is placed In a separate
square, It takes but little dgurtng to
(•tannine that one weevil can destroy
squares taster than several plants can
produce them. — Prof, boy E. But,

THE EDISON WAV
\ t
SATURDAY MAY 25TH
at the School Auditorium
The New Edison
‘The Phonograph with a SoXiV’ •
was subjected to this
searching test
BY
Ida Gardner
the popular
concert contralto
stood beside the New Edison. An Edison Re-Creation of
her voice was placed on the instrument. Mis* Gardner
stood betide the instrument and sang. Suddenly and
without warning the ceased singing and the New Edison
took up the song alone. The Re-Creation of Miss Gard-
ner’s voice was so perfect that those who listened with
©yes closed, could not tell when she had ceased to sing.
HAROLD LYMAN
the talented flutist, gave a similar convincing demonstra
tion with his flute.
THE NEW EDISON AND MUSIC’S RE-CREATION
ALONE STAND THIS CRITICAL TEST
Every singer whose re-created songs are listed in the Edi
son Catalog can successfully make this comparison. Over
thirty different singers, including Anna Case, Marie Rap-
pold and Christina Miller, have appeared in public tests
with the New Edison.
When artists of this calibre consent to make this
comparison in public and in this intimate, crucial way, it
means: The Birth of a New Art, a New Chapter in Musical
History.
There is hut one literal Re-Creation of Music—Edison**
Come and hear the performance! of great musicians
literally re-created. No obligation to buy.
