A Cooperative Extension Service nutritionist suggests com bining it with other foods and flavors for variety. Cut melons into cubes or balls for delightful additions to salads and fruit cups, according to Mrs. Rita Waters. She also says that watermelon blends well with berries, bananas, cottage cheese, and cherries. Treat Her Kindly Failure to provide proper condi tions at milking time result in the dairy cow giving less milk. Ex tension Dairyman H. K. Welch, Jr., says any excitement inter feres with the secretion of oxyto cin. Often called the “let down hormone,” oxytocin is secreted by a small gland, near the cow’s brain, in response to a milking I stimulus.

Loyd County Agent Recent heavy rains that hit most all areas of the county have caused quite a bit of damage to unharvested tobacco. Although most of the tobacco has reached the stage of maturi ty, where it can take lots of wat er, the amount that it has had recently will undoubtedly wash out some the the weight and cause some of the crop to have the appearance of being slick. It is my opinion and that of a number of the farmers I have talked to that most of the un harvested crop can be saved, pro viding barn space can be found to cure it in as fast as it has to be picked. Most of the farmers have only enough barn room to take care of their crop, by harvesting one cropping a week. With all the rain we have had recently, the root system of the plants will give away and the leaves will have to be gathered as fast as they begin yellowing. In case of severe drowning this could mean that it would have to be harvested as often as three times a week, and then labor and bam space becomes a problem. Lets hope that enough of the farmers will be through with their help and their bams, and make this labor and curing space available to those fanners who still have several harvestings yet to pick. It has been said many times that a farmer suffers more haz ards than any other type of busi ness. That certainly has been true for the farmers in our coun ty this year. Just think back to about Febru ary, and how wet it was when the water in the river ran over the bypass at the Atkinson bridge, then the hard freeze that came, and killed the pears, and gardens that was up, and some tobacco that had been set. Then the first Saturday in May when it rained all day and most of the night and many farmers wondered for sev eral days whether their tobacco would recover or not. However most of it did, to be plagued by a six week period of drought, when much of the county had one half inch or less or rain before the middle of June. Fortunately when the rains started there were a few weeks of ideal moisture conditions, which produced what seemed to be a fair crop but now we have again been subjected to approxi mately 10-12 inches of rain with in the last two weeks. I still don’t ever give up on a tobacco crop. THE BUSY BEES Not only does the bee make honey. In other ways, too, it is the friend of fanners. Horticul turist F. B. Cates of the Exten sion Service has reminded mel on growers of the importance of having bees close to their fields. Extra bees, he said, insure good pollination.
