“Timely News Items”

Feeding the Book
Hungry
The State Library Commission is using every means to promote
county libraries and helps struggling counties by sending shipments of books to
the home agent’s office or other convenient places, and these are carried out
to clubs at their monthly meetings by agent and local home demonstration
librarian.
Women eagerly select books, usually bringing a list which
the families have asked for. Sometimes the club room in a community is kept
open two afternoons a week and interested club women agree to be responsible
for the exchange of books.
With Farm Women’s
Markets
Caldwell County’s market sales for last month were $936.92
for a total of four Saturdays.
The Rocky Mount curb market, the largest farm woman’s market
in North Carolina, reported sales in a recent month to be $3,733.08.
In the Mecklenburg market the necessary equipment for
candling eggs has been ordered for the convenience of women who have eggs for
sale.
Flowers constitute a big market item in Wilson County. The
buyers think they are hard to resist.
Jelly Is
Indispensable
If you have some bottled juice from the late scuppernong
crop, why not make some jelly and try selling it in the nearest town? Select
jelly glasses not over 4 or 6 ounces in size and make your product known for
its attractive appearance and delicious flavor. If you will pour the jelly in
even smaller glasses, you can provide most acceptable Christmas gifts for sale
or to present to your friends during the holiday season.
