June Busy Time
For Gardening

H. R. Niswonger, Extention
horticulturist of N. c. State Col
lege, in urging North Carolina
farm families to prepare the va
cant parts of their gardens now
for later paintings of vegetables.

part of your garden occupied by
growing vegetables, plow of Gull
tivate the vacant areas also in or
der to secure a pulverized seed
bed before planting the seed or
plants" Niswonger advised. 'It
will also help to broadcast stable
or poultry manure and super
phosphate and work it into the
SOIL"
In other garden suggestions for
June. Niswonger advised Eastern
and Piedmont growers to set out
collard and tomato plants; make
second paintings of corn and snap
beans; and plant collards, lima
beans, okra, New Zealand spin
ach, and Swiss chard.
For mountain farmers, he sug-
gested setting out collard, cab
bage, and pepper plants, sowing
tomato seed June, / for plants to
be set out inIJuly, and planting
okra, lima and snap beans, sweet
corn. leaf lettuce, New Zealand
spinach, Swiss chard, cucumbers,
squash, and, in the higher al
titudes, head lettuce.
Growers desiring smooth, we'll
shaped sweet potatoes should fol-
low recommended cultural prac-
tees, the State College horticul-
turist said. Stables of poultry
manure should never be used. In
stead, the gardener should use a
1876 or a 1913 fertilizer mixture
lat the rate of 5 pounds per 100
feet of row on sandy or sandy
loan soil, and 4 pounds per 100
feet of row on heavy clay loan
or clay soils.

Farmers Asked To Share
Machinery With Others

Most farm machinery wears out
from misuse, abuse or lack Of use,
says D. c. Weaver, agricultural
engineer of the State College Ex-
tention Service. He suggests that
wartime shortages of farm ma
chimes offers the owner of a COM
bine, hay baler, corn picker, pea
nut harvester or tractor the op-
portunity to get the maximum
value out of piece of machinery
by doing custom work.
"Share your farm machinery
with Others" Weaver suggests
Custom work has several ad-
vantages and of course, some dis
advantages. The chief advantages
be obtained from the investment
are that more working hours can
in equipment. The operator of
a custom machine is usually bet
ter qualified to run his particu-
lar equipment, and do a better
job with it, than are a large num-
Der of individual operators who
do not have occasion to use their
machines many days in a year" "
The farm engineer says that re-
latively few machines wear out
from actual use. A machine that
is in constant use is usually kept
in better condition. It is lubri-
Gated regularly and kept in good
repair.
when one considers that farm
use Of most machines is limited
to a few days in a year, whereas
industrial machinery is used prac-
tically the entire year, it is easy
to realize the Importance of work
ing as many days as possible with
farm machinery" Weaver stated.

pie in the county. Among the
county officials who made plea
for the cause, were, Sheriff J. E..
Roland and Roy Grouse, county
agent. Mrs. Gwyn Price, Mrs.

a plea on behalf of the boys and
girls. Many of the women point
ed out that all of the clubs were

Mrs. J. c. Pierce, county chair
man, who was in charge of the
hearing, concluded by asking that
the commissioners give the mat

promised to do so and thanked
the group for their presentation.
Under the present set-up, the
county will only have to contrib
ute $500 per year as the rest of
the expense for the department
is contributed by the state and
federal government. There are
only 5 counties in the state which
do not have home agents.
Except for this matter, there
was only the usual routine bust
ness conducted at the meeting of

AAA Program Increases
Production For War Needs

The widespread use of winter
legumes and grasses, use of green
manure and cover crops, applicat-
ion of lime and phosphate, and
other soil-building practices of
the agricultural conservation pro-
gram have helped prepare North
Carolina farms for wartime pro-
duction, according to C. T. Scott,
chairman of the State AAA Com
mittee.
Pointing to results of the pro-
gram, Mr.. Scott said the state
average yield for cotton had in
creased from about $50 pounds
per acre during the 1928 80 period
to more than $50 pounds during
the past three years. Tobacco
yields were increased from 685
to $50 pounds per acre. Corn, oat,
wheat, and hay yields per acre
have been increased Is to 20 per-
cent, and the grazing capicity of
pastures also has been improved
greatly.
High production yields cam
not be overemphasized during
this important agricultural year."
Mr.. Scott said. every acre of
cropland must produce to it's
maximum capicity for our farm
ers to contribute their full share
to the nations war effort"

can do this just as. well as sugar.
