I SOFTBALL LEAGUE NEWS i.. a rousing game, as full of thrills as a loop-the-loop, Mgr, Skellie personally led his Tigers to the first half championship of the community Softball League. Before the Sunday games, the strong Panther team led by Mgr. Walker had a fine chance to tie the Tigers and throw the leader ship into a playoff. This chance was held open by the Panthers’ victory over the Bulldogs in the opening game, when they start ed off the first inning with four hits and as many runs and were never in trouble thereafter. They went on to win by a score of 10- 3 and their triumph seemed to indicate that they were ready to , trim the Tigers for the champion ship as soon as the Bears went through the routine of pulveriz ing the Tiger defense with their powerhouse batting order, led by their new star clubber, Bob Maxwell. But the Tigers had different ideas and proceeded to spill the dope all over the lot by licking the Bears 8-5 despite two tre mendous drives by Maxwell and two by Mgr. A. Hardy. In the first inning Daniels walked for the Tigers, stole second and third, and scored on a slow roller to short. The Bears went ahead in the fourth, when Nunn drop ped an easy pop fly by Lasseter (to the great delight of the Pan thers on the sidelines), and Max well and Hardy followed with terrific smashes which allowed all to circle the bases. The Tigers came right back wdth 6 runs in their half of the fourth, and went on from there to win. As a result of the Tiger vic tory, a new all-star team was chosen to meet them in a special game next Sunday afternoon at 3:30. In a preliminary game at 2:30 a team from the Kiwanis club will play a kids team of 7th and Bth grade boys. The new all-star team follows: Pitchers, A. Hardy and J. Morris; catch ers, E. Marshall and C. Hardy; infielders, C. Walker, A.C. Skel lie, J. Heller, H, Braddock, and E. Staples: outfielders, B. Mas sey, A. Lasseter, W. Gray, G. Gray, and C. Shurling; Mgr. W. E. Marshall.

THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1943 The American flag and the Statue of Liberty mean more to libcrtj loving people today than at any time In the past. Silent spokesmen ol freedom, they symbolize the united battle against the forces of tyranny and evil. To immigrants and to the many nations friendly to the United States, the flag and the “Lady With a Torch” stand as bulwarks ol safety in a storm-tossed world. ii ill '^ iiaKMH a ' " ; V' One battle won does not win .ty a war.

HERE’S HOW ~ S By W. T. RL, County Agent i Q. Sometimes when I use old- I fashioned zinc screw tops in can | ning, the top bulges up. What causes this and how can I pre vent it? A. A common cause of this bulging is filling the jar too full and screwing the top on too tight so the air shut up in tne jar cannot get out. When pro cessing, most food expands and when the air cannot escape from the jar the hot zinc is pushed up by the pressure of the steam, or of the expanded food. Sometimes the porcelain lining is loose and water may collect between the lid and lining and expand so as to cause the swelled top. This condition is unfavorable and should be avoided by leaving the top slightly loose to permit steam I to escape during processing. This I is called a partial seal; complete | the seal, if needed, at the end of I processing. | Q- What organized gr ou p s I may sponsor community food I preservation centers? A. A recent FDA release list ed the following groups as eligi | ble to be sponsors of community | food preservation centers: Lo | cal home demonstration clubs or I groups, local nutrition commit- I tees, Parent-Teacher Associa | tions, American Legion Posts, | church clubs, lodges, fraternal | organizations, schools (operated on a non-profit basis), or other I non-profit groups or clubs. Q. Why do tomatoes shrink II and rise to the top of the jar af | ter being processed? | A. This condition probably in ■ dicates over-cooking or process mg. This may be at too high temperature or for too long a time. Tomatoes are usually y peeled, cut in sections, and pack lf ed raw in the jar. They should y be packed as firmly as possible so there will not be any empty spaces left. They should be pro , cessed in a boiling water ball), ■ pints 25 minutes, quarts 35 min- I utes, then removed at once from I the boding water and allowed to I cool. The pieces should remain I firm and whole. Q. What causes corn to turn dark when canned in plain tin cans? A. If corn turns brown it in dicates over-cooking, too high temperature, or too long a time, or both. A grayish, smutty color comes from the action of the suiphur in the corn on the tin of the can. Products, such as green corn and lima beans, which con tain sulphur, sho.iiu be canned in C-enamel lined cans. ; FEED YOUNG FIGS WELL Even though high protein feeds are scarce now, usiug them to give young animals a good start will cause these animals to mak< better use of feed when they grow older, County Agent W. T. Middlebrooks advised this week. In recent tests, the agent pointed out,3-week-old pigs were allowed to run to a creep supply ing such protein supplements as skim milk, tankage, soybean meal, or peanut meal, in addi tion to a standard ration for sow and pigs. Thereafter all pigs ' received the same ration to market weight. The added protein in the early I period of the pig’s life, the in vestigators found, enabled the better fed pigs to produce great er gains on smaller feed require ments, and the well-started pigs usually reached market weight < at considerably earlier ages than those not supplied with the sup-1, plemental protein feed. This method was tested! thoroughly at Beltsviile, Md., Research Center of the Depart I ment of Agriculture, the county i agent said. This is a family war. Put { your War Bond buying through | fgl the payroll savings plan on a | /jJL’ family plan, which means Jig- ; ■™ - ure it out yourself. I Derived From Scapegoat The origin of the expression “to make one the goat,” comes from the word "scapegoat.” Under Bib- . heal law the sins of the people were * placed upon the head of a goat i which was permitted to escape int<r ; ( Ha* wilderness. i ESTABLISHED 1870 (ADVICE GIVEN ON I SUMMER GARDENS - ( t The Victory Garden program - in Georgia has been very success ful so far this year, but it will 5 take special effort at this time of I the year to keep gardens produc > ingasthey should, says Elmo ' Ragsdale, garden specialist for the Georgia-Agricultural Exten -1 sion Service. i “Hot weather, often accompa i nied by dry spells, may make • gardening difficult,” he pointed ; out, “and weeds and insects may give more trouble now than they 1 did earlier in the summer. But if the garden is kept in good condition during the summer, the fall garden program will be easier.” The Extension specialist rec ommended the following garden crops for planting during July to furnish I important vegetables through the remaining part of the summer: Beans —Plant on moist ground, be prepared to control insects with rotenone dust. Good va rieties of bush beans are Tender green, Giant Stringless, or Green Pod varieties. For drawf lima, plant Henderson’s Bush,, Baby Fordhook, or Wood’s Prolific. Beans, Vegetable Soy—-Plant on any good vacant soil. Culti vate same as other beans. Insect control usually is not necessary. Plant any good garden variety obtainable. Cabbage-Plant in north Geor gia on rich, moist soil, control insects with rotenone of pyre thrum. Use Marion Market , or Jersey Queen varieties. Collards—Plant in late July on good soil. Control insects by hand picking and rotenone or pyrethrum. Use Georgia or Louisiana Sweet varieties. Corn—Plant on any good ground that is convenient. Corn ear worm may be controlled by use of small amounts of dry poi son bails or about 10 to 20 drops of mineral oil on the silks. Use Golden Cross Bantam, or early varieties of any good field corn. Yellow corn is richer in food value than white. Egg Plant—Planting and culti vation of egg plant is similar to tomato. Insects may be con trolled by hand picking or by use of poison spray or dust. Good varieties are Black Beauty, Ft. Myers Market or Florida High Bush, Onions Seeds may be sown in the garden and thinned to stand three to four inches apart. Sur plus plants should be set out | elsewhere or given to neighbors. Use Ebenezer or Southport Globe. Squash —Plant on moist rich soil, fertilize heavily, control in , sects with rotenone dust or pyre thrum dust. Use Yellow Crook Neck variety. Tomato Set plants in middle and south Georgia for late crops, using good soil where tomatoes have nut been previously plant ed. Good wilt-resistant varieties are Marglobe, Rutgers or Gro then’s Globe. Rutabagas—Plant on moist and fertile soil, using manure if pos sible. They do better if planted in rows and cultivated. Use Sweet Neckless and American Purple Top. BAPTIST ANNOUNCEMENT!) Sunday School, 10:15 a. m. Morning Worship Service 11:30. Evening Worship 8:00 p. m. Prayer Service Wednesday, 8:00 p, m.
