NEW STAMP ISSUE TO
HONOR PRESIDENTS

Designs of the next regular series
of postage stamps Will be rear
ranged to have stamp honoring
every deceased president of the
United States, according to woro
received at the local post office.
To make this Encouragement. the
post office department will have to
add the portraits of twelve presi-
dents and remove ten present
stamps from circulation. Herbert
Hoover is the only eX-president who
will not appear on a stamp. The
new series of stamps will be placed
in circulation about May l.
The stamp of the smallest de-
norlination-the one-half cent
stamp will bear the portrait Of
Benjamin Franklin. The stamp of
the largest denomination-tive dol
lars-will bear the portrait of Cav
Win Coolidge.

who would have tomatoes earlier
| by growing the plants in hot-house
beds, then transplant them into
hills the usual way, would urge
them to do all possible to insure:
/. Uniform supply of moisture.
2. A shelter crop to protect that
moisture.
| g. Shelter from the winds when
the plants are small.
Those who grew their tomatoes
as mentioned above have had No
blight, and have been growing them
this way for five years. To get
shelter crop, some plant carrots be-
tween the hills. There is danger
here in damaging the tomatoes
when pulling the carrots near the
tomato roots. Some put apple boxes
with the bottoms out-over the
tomato plants as soon as the plants
were set out in hills, and lett the
boxes there all season, a very good
way to meet the three requisites
given and to provide an ideal trel-
lis on all sides of the hill. The ir-
rigation ditch was alongside the
row of boxes.
In some cases gardeners planted
their tomatoes between rows OF
corn to get uniform moisture and
shelter. The plants grew quite har-
dy, but the yield was light from so
much shelter Plants do we'll with
some shelter, especially from the
afternoon sun.
A friendd, who had a garden on
an east and west bank of the Col
umbia river, told of his success.
The winds, at times, would blow
the sand enough to cover his gar
den. He made high wind breaks of
brush, 100 feet apart. The tomatoes
that grew on the north side of the
break, the sheltered side, did not
blight; those out in the sun did.
One gardener built little fence of
four posts and laths around each
tomato hill. One hill had only one
post and the tomato vines had been
tied to this, but the vines were
loose enough for the wind to twist
the vines. When the vines were
about half grown, I was called to
inspect this garden that had Gust
one hill that showed blight and
it was this cluster of vines that
was so loosely tied to the single
post.
These, and other observations,
simply go to show that the three
requisites mentioned, in some form,
are safe guarantee against blight.

quite generally recognized. Under
proper conditions the tomato plant
is one of the most prolific produc.
ers. Further, the tomato may be
served in a greater variety of ways
than any other plant food. Any
procedure that will improve the
quality or increase the yield should
merit consideration.
Will Rogers would say, "All I
know is what I see in the papers, .
After three years of public super
vision of family gardening and
canning my comment might be-
Cali know is what see in the
gardens Last year 1900 gardens
shared in our program. The WIN
ners averaged better than $50 quarts
of vegetables and fruits per person.
The near winners" averaged 100,
and the "honorably mentioned"
averaged rs quarts per person in
the family.
The most significant observation
! have made is how to grow to-
n1atoes so they will not blight. 1
have not found any cure for blight,
but have observed how blight can
be prevented, which is worth more
than a cure. My observations have
all been made in family gardens,
where the required and regular sup
ply of water is furnished by irri-
cation.
Dig a trench a spade wide ana
a spade deep C inches; mellow the
soil in the bottom as you would
for any seed, and plant the seed
in the bottom of the trench Where
irrigation is used, place the ditch
along the side of the trench, being
careful that no water gets into the
trench. Let all the moisture come
from beneath. This insures the first
requisite - constant and uniform
supply of moisture. The deep trench
helps to keep the ground moist
about the plants.
DO not pull up any of the plants.
Let them all grow. Some of the
plants will outgrow and smother
the others. This inaures the SECOND
requsite-a dense shelter crop to
keep the ground uniformly moist
and keep down the weeds. Later
on, this heavy growth helps pol
imitation. This plan prepares the
way for the third requisite, which
is the most important of all and
which is most generally overlooked
in growing tomatoes.
The stem of the tomato plant,
when it is small, is very delicate
and very easily bruised. Here is
where the six-inch trench comes III.
Spring winds are the most fatal to
young tomato plants. whipping
them around, against a soil that
frequently has a hard crust on the
surface. thus bruisirg the stem at
the ground line This lowers the vi
tally of the plant and so makes it
susceptible to e-blight-later.
With the plants growing in the
trench. they are six inches high
before they reach the surface of
the ground hence the wind cannot
iniure them. and by leaving ali the
plants to grow together they pro-
tect each other from injury. So the
third requisite in preventing blight
is to protect the plant stems, when
young, from the wind.
AS the plants grow, trellises may

above the ground on either side of
the row. adds to the yield and con-
wenience in harvesting. To those

Tugrnan Dropped

Charges of operating a car while
under the influence of whiskey
which were placed against DR.. B. w.
Tugman last fall by Patrolman

weekly session of the mayors court

Patrolman Thomas stated that
when he caught DR.. Tugman he was
standing by his car in an intoxicat-

fore could not swear he was guilty
of the charge, except that of public
drunkenness.
Three men were fined for being
drunk in public. They were Fred

who was a first offender, signed an
agreement at The Post Office as it
was his first offense, and the paper
agreed to withhold his name this
time.

Two Infantile
Paralysis c a 5 es
Develop In A $ h e
Both Children Have Already
Lost Use Of One Limb. Con-

SCARLET FEVER CONTINUES

Two Ashe county children are now
the crippled victims of infanti1e
paralysis which attacked them a
few months ago and now one Of
them is being treated in the Grip
pied Children's hospital in Gastonia
and the other one is trying to make
arrangements for the treatment
which may and may not restore
her legs to usefulness.
Fortunately or unfortunately no
one, including their physician, knew
what was the matter with them un-
til one of their legs started wither-
ing away. And very fortunately no
other cases have been reported as
having been contracted from either
child, although the disease is high
ly contagious.
Daphene Baldwin, 7-year-old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Gather
Baldwin, of Lansing, was sick last
fall, but nobody knew what was
wrong with her until two or three
weeks ago when she started los
ing the use of her left leg and was
carried to the hospital in Gastonia.
The doctors there immediate
ly said, '.infantile paralysis.
Little Henrilla Calhoun, daught-
er of Mr.. and Mrs. Claude Calhoun,
Pond Mountain, is also suffering in
the same way and her parents are
in hopes of getting treatment for the
serious ailment, which is believed
to be infantile paralysis and not
rheumatism, as she has been adj
viSed.
Mild epidemics of scarlet fever
continue to be reported in various
parts of the county. The school
at Grassy Creek was closed last
week on account of it.
IF your child gets sick, be very
careful to find out what's wrong
with it before allowing other chill
.dren to come in contact with the
child" is good advice from the
