Much has been said and written
about gardening to lead many am
aterrs to believe that the grow
Ing of vegetables is an exact sci
ence. Gardening is more OF an
art than a science and to become
skillful in producing vegetables,
one must have practice and expert
ence In every community, whe-
ther in the towns, the cities, or
in the rural areas, one can lind
individuals or families who have
in the past learned, by practice and
experience, the art Of gardening
and who have been producing an
adequate supply of vegetables for
home use. They have planned
their gardens carefully and secur-
ed kinds and varieties best suited
to their type of soil, their locality,
and climate. Also, they have sche-
duled the planting Of seed so the
vegetables will mature as they are
needed for canning or eating fresh
from the garden. The amateur,
therefore, should consult his or
her nearest successful Victory Gar
dener in planning his garden, pre-
pairing the soil, using fertilizers
and doing any cultural practice:
AS an illustration, let us take
the growing of carrots. The sue
cessful gardener has learned by
experience that carrots are not
well adapted to heavy wet clay
or gravelly soils. However, with
clay soils that are well drained, he
has. found it possible to grow fair
iy good carrots if a pulverized
seed, bed is prepared and if the

rooted variety such as the Chat.

The successful gardener has al
so found out that seedlings will
come up in soils which tend to
form crust, if the seed are soak
ed overnight planted in moist soil
and, then covered with fine ma
terial such as leaf mould, sand,
sifted sandy loan SOIL. or similar
fine material. After the seedlings
have come through the soil, they
are then thinned to two inches
apart in the row.

a stand of beets. The amateur may
have difficulty in getting bee

then planted similar to the way
in which carrot seed are han
died.
Planting Of Other Seeds
The experienced gardener has
found that a mistake can be made
by sowing too many seed and by
allowing the seedlings to remain
crowded in the row. Another mis-
take is that of planting the seed
too deep. Seed can be planted
deeper in sandy loan soils than on
heavy clay soils. The experienced
gardener covers the seed with sol.
just deep enough so that they will
not be splashed out by hard
rain or, to be exact, from IA to
IL inches, He uses the end of the
handle of the hoe or rake in max
ing the row to receive the small
seeds by drawing. it along a string
that marks the row.
For larger seeds, such as beans,
peas, and corn, he opens the row

to a depth of / to 2 inches depend
ing upon the size of the seed. The
experienced gardener has also dis
covered that to secure an even
stand of seedlings a uniform and
proper depth of seed row must be
made. He then covers the seed
carefully, firms the soil with the
rake or hoe, but does not pack. If
he has soil that tends to pack or
form crust, the row is covered
IL to / inch deep with light ma
terial, such as is used in connec-
ton with carrot seed and then af-
ter the seedlings come up, the
mulching material is raked off so
as not to smother the young
plants.

declared W. o. Davis, county agent
of Halifax County, in report to
the State College Extension Serv-
ice here.
Farm work throughout the cot

layed," Davis reported. every few
farmers have cut their cotton
stalks from last years crop. Prac-

done and with the acute shortage
of labor and machinery this de-

tractors continue, crop production
in this section will be materially

Davis also said that farmers
are disturbed over the draft mud
die" Several have expressed tt
him their determination not tt
plant full crop with no assur'
ance tat labor will be left to fin

However, I have not heard

Union County Farmers
Reluctant To Start
Crops Due To Draft


MONROE, April 9.-As result
of the present situate regards
the draft, many of the younger
farmers of Union County are rel
uctant to start crop, reports T.
j. W. Broom, county agent for the
State College Extension Service.
Landlords who have tenants in
the draft age also feel the same
way and the situation is becoming
critical.
Mr.. Broom is advising all farm
ers to go ahead with operations
as though they expected to be al
lowed to remain at home and to
try to produce the needed and es-
sential food and feed products.

range of selections so that he can
produce the kind of fiber that the
manufa ctu1er wants.

George Wilds says this fiber
testing service has greatly advanc-
ed the whole cotton breeding pro-
gram and has resulted in much
improvement in quality.
THE one-varlety community is
the best solution for most of our
cotton growing problems" he de-
cla1es. Gin these communities
seed of a suprio1 cotton is planted
and newstocks are brought in from
the breeder each year. The con-
scientious, aler breeder through
the use of the fiber services, can
now assure the growers of increas-
ingly good spinning strains. The
grower, in turn, can find a market
through the discriminating manu-.
facturer, who III turn, can get a
supply of known quality cotton for
his mill"
This means that the grower
knows in advance about the spinn.
ing or malufga turing value of his
cotton before he puts a seed into
the ground. He can get that cotton
which tests show will meet the
approval of the buyer and manu-.
facturer.
This is happening in 80 North
Carolina counties today. It is also
happening generally over the South
as the growers seek to make cot
ton a worthy competitor of all
other fibers. If the good work is
continued and expanded, cottor
may remain King without further
hurt to any Of his loyal subjects

SUGGESTIONS FOR
APRIL FARM JOBS
BY r. w. SHOFFNER AND
H. C. HOLMES
N. C. State College


Farm work has been delayed by
rain. All farm plans should now
be complete; with farm machin-
cry repaired, fertilizer hauled, and
spray material, seed n d other
production items on the farm.
Some of the farm jobs that should
receive special attention in April
follow:
Field Crops
0) Turn under winter cover
crops to be followed by corn, cot
ton, peanuts and other crops. (2)
In the Piedmont and Mountains,
prepare seed beds for corn and
cotton. 90 Apply fertilizer to cot
ton land ten days before planting
and mix fertilizer well with soil
in row. "a Harrow tobacco land
after each rain to preserve mois-
ture and to aid in warming soil.
Mix fertilizer for tobacco in drill
a week to 10 days before trans
planting. (5) In the Piedmont,
sound, disease-free sweet potatoes
should be treated and bedded, if
not already done. CO. In the Coas-
tai Plain, sweet potatoes should
be set in well-prepared moist
ridge. CD Soybeans, Sudan grass
or other crops for grazing should
be seeded. 90 Early silage crops
should be planted. 90 In work.
ing around tobacco beds or set
ting tobacco, remember to allow
no worker to use tobacco in any
form. To do so may spread the
mosaic disease.
Fruits and Vegetables
ID In the Tieewater area, make
second planting of tender vegeta-
bles. co In the Coastal Plain,
plant the commercial bush bean
crops. 90 In the Mountains, sow
cabbage seed when the dogwood
blooms. a. Control cut worms in
the garden win poison bran mush.
90 Watch for insect pests and
diseases, and treat accordingly. co.
Apply early sprays to peaches and
apples.
Livestock
~ Breed mares for early colts.
"a Keep horses and mules cur
ried and brushed regularly to aid
in shedding. 60 Make full use OF
winter sown grazing crops. a.
Keep salt and mineral mixture be.
fore cattle on pasture at all times
90 Provide good pasture and
creep feed lambs for fast growth.
60 Finish out and market the fall
pigs. Cd Full feed sow and litter
after pigs are three weeks of age
| 90 Keep good mineral mixture
before hogs at all times. 90 Ir
the Coastal Plain, sheep may BIZ
sheared the last of April. (10) TURF
dairy cows on permanent pasture
when growth is sufficient. Oil
Provide all stocks with an ample
supply of fresh water.
Poultry
Q) Discontinue lights on laying
flock. % Check poultry house fol
mites. Use of motor oil and kero
sene in equal parts is an easy
means of control. % Examine.
Sodium flouride may be used a:
a dust, or the roosts may be paint
ed with nicotine sulphate. Repea
treatment in 10 days. az Sell thu
roosters or pen them separately
so as to produce infertile g
which keep better in hot weather
90 Watch for warm days n
open up brooder house when nee
essary. co Get leghorn chicks be
fore mid-April. Cd Clean poultr!

Blue Mold Is Appearing
In Onslow Tobacco Crop

JACKSONVILLE, April 9.-Blue
mold has appeared in the tobacco
plant beds of Onslow County and
adjacent coastal counties, reports
Hugh Overstreet, farm agent OF
the State College Extension Serv-
ice. Tobacco plants, generally, are
well grown and are plentiful over
the county but many beds show
signs of too much rain and the
plants are turning yellow. A num-
Der of farmers are applying nit
rate of soda to their beds so that
the plants may grow more vigor-
ously and overcome the effects of
the disease attacks, Overstreet
said.
