Home Gardens
On Increase

College Station, Raleigh, July, g.
A noticeable increase in the number
OF home gardens in the State is re-
ported by H. R. Niswonger and l..
+. Watson, horticulturists of the
State College Extension Service.
They say that early gardens are
yielding Wel1 and that conditions
are now favorable for further plant
ings.
The horticulturists pointed out
that Snap beans, leaf lettuce, mus
tard, spinach, Deets, Kohl-Rabi and
turnlps can be planted now in any
sectlon OF the State. However, peets,
kohl-Rabl and turnips should be
planted IN the extreme western sec
ton before July Is for safety from
the first frosts in the mountains.
which usually occur about October
IS.
Bush lima beans, carrots and
sweet corn seed and celery and to-
mato plants may be planted .afely
before July Is in ever section of the
State except the mountain counties
adjoining Tennessee. Kale and seeds
of early cabbage and head lettuce
should not be planted now east of
Northampton, Halifax, Franklin,
Wake, Lee, Moore and Anson coun-
ties, the extension specialists stated.
The time to plant the fall graden
depends upon the hardness of the
different vegetables and Upon the
time required for maturity. Tender
vegetables must be planted in time to
produce a crop before killing frost
occurs, and vegetables generally
must be given a little more time in
which to mature during the fall
months than is required for maturity
during warm weather. Many of the
cool-season crops will grow and ma
ture a crop through light frosts
''It is we'll to remember that the
vegetables which can be grown on
an acre of land would cost the farm
from $4O0 to $500 if
bought at retail prices" the horti-
culturists said

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERTLL

Raleigh, July 6.-North Carolina'S |
labor movement, and the State itself |
for that matter, suffered real and
definite loss in the death this past
weekend Of Alan M. Hughes, Of
Wilmington, a Vice-president of the |
State Federation Of Labor.
Anything but the bloWhard, loud |
mouthed type of professional agita-
tor, Al Gas he was known to all his
friends) had just begun career that
promised great things for the future.
He had hardly been active in North
Carolina long enough to be widely
known, but in the opinion of those
with whom he had come in contact,
notably State President G. A. Fink,
Of Salisbury, he was looked upon as
one of labor's real assets, a man who
could gain and hold the confidence
Of business men and employers as
well as his fellow unioniSts.
Your correspondent, being just
back from a bit of motoring which
took him west from Raleigh beyond
Knoxville, thence back across North
Carolina to Wilmington and the sea
before returning to this hot and
capital city, begs to be pardoned for
a few personal observations about |
"ships and shoes and sealing wax,
and the like
The very first and foremost i'm
preston is that if North Carolina |
has 100 highway patrolmen they
keep themselves extremely we'll hid
den. In more than 1000 miles Of |
driving on main arterial roads, eX-
actly one of the genus was. sighted
and he passed on curve that was
obviously as dangerous as dynamite |
The motorists of North Carolina
are, in general, better than reason
ably cautious In four days of al
most constant driving only the bar
est fraction of one per cent of the
drivers observed were taking heed
less, unnecessary risks.
Commissioner of Revenue A. j.
Maxwell is eternally right in his
contention that the roads Of North
Carolina ought to be improved and
that right soon.
There isn't a grander, more, beau
tiful drive inn North Carolina than
that from Topton through Robbins
vile, along the edge of Lake Santee-
lah, across Deals Gap and into
| Tennessee.
| The longest half-mile on record is
probably between the parking area
at Forney's Ridge to the top of Cling
mans Dome in the Great Smokes
but it would be worth walking five
times as far to see the view from
the tower on the crest.
There aren't any more barefoot
girls in the mountains such as June,
of "Trail of the Lonesome Pine"
fame. Those numbers have learn
ed all the tricks and ways of make
up.
But there was one mountain chap
who lived up to tradition and gen
eral report. When a companion said
it was IS miles to Maryville, he
broke in with the remark "TIit haint
thet fur"
Everywhere there seems to be the
general impression that there have
been more tourists this year than
ever before.
AS said, just a few personal OBJ
servations, if they bored, just excuse
it, please.

of 1899 and of $48,85O41 for the
19338-39 fiscal year in postal re-
ceipts, according to an announce
ment by Postmaster N. Hunt Gwyn.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-07-06

At the same time the first class

service was inaugurated in the busi-
ness district of the city after a cam
paign made by the Lenoir board of
trade and the Lenolr junior chamber
of commerce.

$3,64l.l4; April $4,564.53; May, 81

soft touch to the British.
