Vegetable Seed Treatment

Treating vegetable seed for
disease control is more important
Saaan ever before. Many reasons
11ay be apparent but others may
mot be and they cannot be ex-
Riained here. Anyway, the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul-
S1re is asking us to put more en-
phasis on treating vegetable seed
than ever before.
SPERGON is recommended for
treating lima beans, beet, egg
plant, garden peas, Swiss chard
and tomato at the rate of tsp.
per pound of seed. On lettuce
and ron1aine it should be used at
the rate of II tsp, per "a pounds
of seed.
SEMESAN is recommended
tor seed of all crucifers, canta-
1oupe, carrot, cucumber, garden
peas, pepper, pumpkin, squash,
watermelon at the rate of II tsp.
per pound of seed. Do not use
SemeSan on lima beans.
CuPROCIDE Cred or yellow
'5oxide) is recommended for treat
ing seed of beet, eggplant, pepper,
spinach, Swiss chard and toma-
10 at l tsp. per pound of seed, for
catalogues, cucumber, squash at
"a tsp, per pound of seed, for
carrot at III tsp. per pound and
Tor lettuce and romaine at l tsp.
per "a pound of seed.
ARASAN is recommended for
anna beans at II tsp. per pound
of seed. If recommended materi-
'sals flor treating seed of other
crops are not available, substitute
Arasan and use according to di-
rectlonS on container.
The above recommendations
ARE Gased primarily upon results
tobtained in cooperative seed
treatment tests conducted under
supervision of U. S. D. A. in sew
eral states. One to two of the
saaatsrTafs giving the best results
Sn these TESTS are recommended

We remember as a child, g
verse like this:
christmas comes but once q
year,
So let us all make good cheer
The first part is true, however,
all the Christmas pleasures dc
not come at Christmas. Satur-
day the Ed M. Andersons receiv-
ed box Of California fruit, as a
Christmas gift from the James
Sinclairs, Jimmie and Mabel
The latter will be better remem-
beerd as Mabel Davis. While the
package had been enroute some
time, it really had not been on
the way as long as it seems, and
the fruit was in perfect condition.
We might add perfectly delicious,
too. What was a little unusual
about the gift was an enclosed
note from the packing company
saying that the gift was ordered
in plenty of time for Christmas,
but due to labor shortage, the
company was unable to fill the
same earlier! Any way we are
enjoying it more than if it had
come Christmas, because some
other people remembered us then
and we had rather have such
good fruit scattered out.
Shooting the Works
Time passes on and we were
particularly conscious of this last
Friday night when we witnessed
some top-notch basketball games
with former all-stars, which we
wrote about during the good old
days of real basketball and tour
naments in Ashe. The two Fran
els players are hard to beat, as
are Hartsoe and some of the 9TH
er Riverview stars.
It seemed natural to see Oscar
Houck, a former coach, now with
the U. S. Army, back on the
scene. Other familiar figures,
who have helped to make basket
ball history in this county were
also on the job, Prof. Paul Per-
kins and Dale Atwood. Dale
left on Saturday for the Navy.
Who Has What?
Professor r E. L. Plummer
was in the office the other day
and while here, renewed his pa
per, not for one, but two years.
This popular and thorough
school man remarked that we had
probably heard he had the flu.
''It was the other way around,
he declared, ''It had mel"
We have not heard it expressed
that way before, but we have al
ways thought Professor Plummer

I'm MenlOriam
IN MEMORY OF OUR MOTHER

Two years have passed since
she went away,
But memories of her are in our
hearts to stay.
It hasn't been easy to live it
down,
And wear that smile instead of
a frown.
It seemed it was the most trouble
we ever had,
Until the Lord looked down
and took Dad;
And now that they are both
gone,
1 don't see how we can ever
live on.
Then we think how happy they
must be,
In land so bright and trou-
ble-free.
They will not have to suffer any
more,
For God has called them to His
eternal shore.
Nine of us children were left be-
hind,
But our aim will be Mamma
and Dad to find"
Every day we will do our very
best,
Then we, too, will be called to
rest.
Written in loving memory of
Mrs. J. M. Ashley, who died Feb
ruary 10, 1912.

PARKER'S HATCHERY
is READY TO SERVE

Our hatchery has been enlarg-
ed by one-third for this season,
and we will be able to take care
of orders for several thousand
more chicks this year than in the
past, but we urge our customers
to place their orders early to get
their chicks when they want
them.
Please send us your order on a
penny post card. Do not give
your order to a member of the
family, for they have forgotten
in the past and caused disappoint-
ments. Also place your order in
your own name, as several, plac-
ing their orders in one name,
have also caused disappoint-
ments.
We have some of the finest
flocks to get eggs from this year
that we have ever had. All
state-approved and blood tested,
under the National Poultry I'M
provement plan. We pay pre-
MUM price for these eggs and
our expenses are more than US
ual; but we are pricing our
chicks at 12c each.
Owing to the great demand for
New Hampshires, Barred Rocks,
and White Leghorns, these three
breeds are all we are Matching
this season. These mountain
grown and Matched chicks are the
best. Buy at home, as we are
only trying to take care of our
local customers. We did not ship
a chick last year, although we
had orders from one man out OF
this vicinity for more than we
Matched the entire season.
We also were offered premium
prices for chicks during the rush
season, but we took care of GUS
toners orders as they came, as
best we could. We are looking
forward to this being our best
year yet for the chick business.
We do not expect more orders
this year. We do not want more,
but we do want to take care OF
what we get, better.
