The suggested way to grow the
vegetables, especially those that
are hard to get up or those that
winter kills, is to grow them in
side a frame. The frame consists
Of boards, slabs or logs bordering
the sides with covering of sacks,
cloth Or similar material. This COW
ering is used to shade the soil,
thereby making it easier to get the
seed up, and protecting vegetables
from cold or sudden thawing.
It is not necessary to cover the
led unless the temperature drops
Is degrees or below After ahard
t is not necessary to cover the
bed unless the temperature drops
to Is degrees or below. After a
hard freeze never remote the cof-
er the next morning, but keep il
on until the weather moderates and
the ground is thaWed.
The vegetables may also be
grown in the regular garden, and
to help in getting plants up in hot,
dry weather, place straw, leaves
or lay a board over the Soil where
the seed have been planted. AS the
seed come up, the covering should
be rearranged along both sides oil
the plants to help conserve mois-
ture, but at the same time allow
ing sunlight to reach the plants.

BEEF BUSINESS
in BAD SHAPE
BY THOMSON GREENWOOD
Agriculture Dept. Editor

{ RALEIGH, July 2.-R-The beef
cattle business in North Carolina
is now in the most dangerous con-
sdition in several years, according
ito T. L. Gwyn, cattle marketing
Specialist with the state depart
Sment of agriculture.
In the opinion of Gwyn, this seri-
Sous situation ie due in large mea-
sure to the drought which has pre-
vailed in many sections in the east
ern counties and has also affected
crops in the mountain areas.
Gwyn estimates that the hay
crop in the western counties of the
state will be approximately so per
cent of that harvested in 1943, and
is of the opinion that the corn
crop in several counties throughout
North Carolina will be virtually
worthless unless ample rainfall
comes before july Is. The failure
of these crops will lead to heavy
liquidation of cattle during the late
summer and fall, he said.
Grass in the mountains is both
late and very short, Gwyn, de-
clared, adding that this and the
other conditions will result in t h
selling off of stocker and feeder
cattle. This will have two effects:
overloaded markets and elimina-
ton of butcher cattle competition.
Ordinarily, these t h n cattle
would be an excellent purchase for
feeder cattle buyers in easteln
Carolina, Virginia, and elsewhere,
but for the fact that the east is
in the grip of the drought and is
unable to provide sufficient feed
fol conditioning.
GWyn's advice to cattle produc-
ers: "Sell now, if your cattle are
in marketable condition and fair
prices can be obtained"
eff the bulk of the North Caro-
lima cattle crop is held back until
the usual marketing time-around
the first of October--it almost GER
tainly will result in congestion in
the market and consequently sc
we're breaks will occur in the prices
paid for stocker and feeder cat
tie"
Cattle are now bringing good
prices, the demand being sharp,
and these prices should prevail
through July and August. By main
flamenco of a steady flow of cattle
into market during these months,
the seller will. Cd have the ad
vantage of an active market, e.
tighten the load on his pastures,
and 90 stay clear of the over
crowded October markets and the
kaeak which ie likely to occur at
that time.

Nor does he learn of the real
difficulties of handling t h food
supply to the satisfaction of all
groups until he sees how the d.
verse currents of American life
play upon those who have the re-
sponsibility Of seeing that the food
produced is handled without loss
and is distributed to the full ad-
vantage of all the people.
1t has been interesting during the
past week to visit here in the old
Depai tment of Agriculture, n W
eeared to wartime activity as the
War Food Administration, and to
find out just how this is being
done. No need for me to tell any
farmer in North Carolina that the
task IS tremendous, but when de-
cisiors are made, they must re-
fleet the best interests of the Ell
tire nation and its allies. That is
something that we as individuals
do not always understand.
There is that little matter of eggs
produced by the poultrymen of the
nation this past spring. Ordinari-
ly, hens will lay eggs and lots of
them will be sold and consumed.
Those not sold readily will beat
down the price and will be bought
for song and stored by the com.
mercial processing companies I'm.
til such time as the market will
pay them well for having riskec
this storage cost.
But this past season, the gov
eminent knew all about the high
prices for feedstuffs and the costs
of producing eggs. 1t, therefore
went into the market and paid the
producers something like 26 cent:
a dozen for nest-run eggs ane
about 30 cents a dozen for thu
graded product. The eggs KEEP
coming and finally the agriculture
authorities had filled every avail
able cold storage place.
They had even started to shil
some to the apple storage house:
of the northwest until another gov
eminent agency, the Office of De
Tense Transportation, stepped il
and said in effect that there is M
sense sending those eggs out there
when you will have to take then
right out again as soon as the ap
pie crop comes into maturity.
So all the storage places wert
packed and damned with eggs
Consumers in the city were asked
to buy an extra dozen and store
them in the home icebox. Cafe.
and hotels were asked to feature
eggs in the daily menus and ever,
schme for the use of eggs wa!
encouraged so that the increasing
surplus could be handled and tn.
poultry farmers be paid prict
that would permit them to stay il
business. Finally, there were abou
], 400 cars of eggs on hot railroa,
sidings waiting for some place t.
go. This was Is million dozens o
eggs without a storage place an,
rapidly deteriorating in the heat o
late spring. AS matter of fact
eggs in about 100 cars we're ruined
When some Of t h professor
saw this situation, they offered t.
take the eggs off of the govern
1nent's hands for a price and us
them in their regular storage ant
processing enterprises.
