J. - Tips on how Garden State farmers can avoid falling into debt traps and the vegetable industry’s com petitive position in the future are among topics to be covered in the New Jersey Annual Vegetable Meeting to be held Tuesday through Thursday, Jan. 14 to 16, in Atlantic City. The event is sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Service of Rutgers University’s Cook College and will be held in the Resorts International Casino Hotel. The meeting is the largest of its type on the East Coast and is expected to attract some 2,000 participants, said W. Bradford Johnson of Cook, program coordinator. Presentations on sweet com, sweet potatoes, small fruits, tomatoes, peppers and white potatoes will be held in addition to general sessions, said Johnson, a retired extension specialist in vegetable crops at New Jersey’s State University. Special sessions also will be held on pest control, bedding plants and processing crops. The Vegetable Growers’ Association of New Jersey co sponsors the meeting with the cooperation of the State Potato Association and the New Jersey Indoor humidity MEDIA - When a house is sealed and heated during the winter months, indoor humidity drops. This happens because warm air has the capacity to bold much more moisture than cold air. Initially, the amount of moisture is the same for air both inside and outside. However, warm air, with its in creased thirst, registers a drop in humidity and begins to steal moisture from its surroundings. Dry skin, nose bleeds, chronic bronchitis, • sinusitis and asthmas flare as respiratory passages to yield, moisture. To make your ■ winter more healthful, • Extension home 1 economist, Greta C. Vairo, suggests adding humidity to the air you breathe. Of the appliances being marketed for this purpose, authorities favor humidifiers over vaporizers. Humidifiers operates on the cool mist principle. They produce water droplets and may be used for sick room relief as well as for general humidification. Because most stan dard vaporizers produce hot mist or steam, burns and scalds occur if physical contact is made with a hot unit. This can pose a problem during filling or in homes with small children. Newly marketed cool mist vaporisers, on the other hand, MM no such threat. They are highly. effective when used in a , sick room, bat -less energy efficient than humidifiers -when it comes to general household humidifying. Department of Agriculture.
