The Tarheel Gardener

Here it is October and time for
us gardeners to knock off for
the season. or is it? I sometimes
wish I could and then I realize
how restless I would be without
something to do outdoors.
AS I look around, many jobs are
calling for my attention. There
are the peach trees and plums,
for instance, that must be treat
ed for borers. If you will examine
the base of your tree at the ground
level, there is almost sure to be
a jelly looking material arou !
the tree. This is sure indica-
ton that borers are present. Il
you let them go for : season or
two-well, at least you won't be
bothered with pruning and spray
ing. Dead trees don't need it.
Treating the trees for borers is
simple. Ask your local scotsman
preferably for ethylene dichloride
emulsion or for whatever mater
ial he has and use it according
to directions. Better still, write

Fertilizer Supplies
To Be On 1914 Basis

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh.
Oct. 7-Supplies of fertilizer for
the coming 1856 crop season will
be about the same as last year,
with a probable increase in super
phosphate, say Extension agrono-
mists at State College.
Forms of nitrogen may differ
somewhat from last years supply
but the total quonity will be about
the same, reports indicate. Cur.
rent production of potash is about
equal to that of last season.
The U. S.. Department of Agri-
culture has revoked order VITO 5,
which provided certain controls
over the manufacture, distribution,
and use of fertilizers. This change,
however, does not apply to North
Carolina because the number of
grades and the minimum plant
food content of the fertilizer is
controlled by law in the state.
Great progress in the better
fertilization of corn has been made

SEARCH CENTERS
ON CAPITAL MAN

HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 7-P-
Search centered in Washington, D..
c., today for a 40-year-old man be-
lieved to be the person who offer
ed a ride to pretty Elnora Collins,
30, whose nude and partially burn
ed body was found in a lonely
wooded spot near here Wednesday.
Detective Inspector c. v. Kern
said Miss Collins, daughter of a
Cleveland, Tex, preaeh her, was
last seen Sept. 80 by a friend, Mrs.
o. o. McNealy, before she accept
ed a ride to town with man.
The body of woman, clad only
in red bobby sox and brown OK

near Beaumont. Kern said it was
identified by fingerprints as ina,
of Miss Collins.
The Woman's purse was found
in an abandoned automobile near
Woodlawn, La, last Friday. Papers
found in a mans brief case in the

this year in North Carolina, and
the agronomists suggest that farm
ers carefully study the tests that
have been placed in every county
in the state.
In many instances growers are
making more than twice as much
corn per acre as before. Some
farmers predict that average corn
yields in the next few years will
be increased from 20 to % bushels
per acre up to about 40 bushels.
The last estimate on the corn CROP
showed an average of 24.6 bushels
per acre.
County agents are now assist
ing farmers in making estimates
of their test plots at 576 locations
in the state and it is believed
that some records will run as high
as 100 bushels per acre. The best
plot of hybrid corn on the test
plots of the Agricultural Expert
ment Station in Guilford County
was 118 bushels per acre.

Before I get too busy raking
leaves, there are the fall bulbs
to be planted. Anytime durin Oc-
tober and November is all right,
but don't wait until you ca t
think of anything else to do. Since
most of these bulbs are plante
fairly deep, it is a good idea to
place some such fertilizer as 6-8-
6 underneath or beside the bulbs,
but, of course, not touching them.
This is suggested because phos-
plate moves very little from
where it is placed and naturally
we want the bulb roots to reach
it. Other fertilizer high in nitro
gen can be applied next spring.
Before I run out of space, let
me mention fertilizing the apple
trees. Use about two pints of nj.
trate of soda per medium size
bearing tree just as soon as :
sible.

Cookies
Drop cookies that are firm,
rather soft and thick, may have
a place in the box if properly
wrapped. To assure arriving in
good condition, wrap three or four
cookies together in waxed paper
and pack tightly in rows standing
on edge between cardboard walls
in a strong tin or wooden box.
Then, fill all spaces and top with
clean crump1ed paper. Seal with
adhesive tape around the top to
keep lid on, and air and moisture
out. Then, wrap securely in heavy
paper. Brittle snaps or crumbly
butter cookies that break easily
have no place in an overseas
package. Such cookies may have
a rough time of it and arrive a
mass of crumbs.
Hard Candies
Soft candies or crystallized
fruits should not be included as
they are apt to ooze from the
package and run clear out OF
bounds, causing trouble wherever
they run. Instead, hard candies,
vacuum packed nuts, and dried
fruits are recommended. They are
all good travellers and if well
packed, will remain in good con.
dition should the box be delayed
in transit.
Unless especially requested, dc

You will have to hurry if you
are to get that Christmas package
IN the mail by October 15-the
final day for mailing Christmas
packages for all service personnel
overseas. Although the number
over there is dwindling rapidly,
those Who remain will need, more
IMAM ever, something from home.
Ihey want gifts that are not
bulky or perishable and that can
not be obtained where they are
stationed. But most of all, they
want gifts that remind them with
particular significance of their
homes, relatives, and friends.
Especially at Christmas time,
there is nothing that quite takes
the plce of a box of homemade
goodies made by MON" herself
right in her own kitchen. Such
a package, trimming with holi-
day cookies, candies. and cake,
Will be reminder of all the happy
Christmas tides spent with the
family and friends in the old home
town.
When considering what foods to
include in the Christmas package,
decide only on the foods that you
know will keep. Men returning
from overseas say that fruit cake
stands up well. If the cake is tc
travel successfully, it should be
firm and rather dry when it comes
from the oven. Recipe proportions
and long baking at low tempera
lures are important. Then, if the
cake is well packed, the fruit vii

Fudge cake is another gooc
choice for shipping in the over

the fruit cake, is a firm texturee

and more crumbly kinds. Bake

Oct. MANY lives can be saved
and thousands of dollars in fire
losses prevented, if farmers will
spend a portion of this week in
checking on fire hazards around
the home and other farm buildings,
says Prof. David S. Weaver, head
of the Agricultural Engineering
Department at State College.

ton week and has called on all
citizens to help in fighting the
fire demon.
Prof. Weaver says that about g..
500 lives are lost each year in
farm fires in the U. S. and that the
property damage runs about 100
million dollars.
He suggests that farmers check
defective flues and chimneys,
electric wiring, provisions for con-
trolling Tightening, the storage Of
gasoline and other such products,
the condition of stoves, and the use
of open fires. These hazards cause
about IS percent Of farm fire
losses.

low, tells about test being
made by j. H. Gillette of Silver
Gale. Last July %, Mr.. Gillette
placed Is pigs on 10 acres of
soybeans. He picked out four
typical animals, notched their
ears and weighed them. Each
pig weighed SO pounds when
placed on the soybean pasture.
On august 20, after SO days of
grazing, the four pigs were
caught and weighed again, tipping
the scales at SO 10 pounds each
or having gained 16 10 pounds
per head or nearly one-half a
pound a day with no other feed
except for small amount of corn
supplied each day.
Also on August 8, Raymond
Oldham of near Swansboro put
II pigs on a field of soybeans and
selected four pigs for weighing.
The animals were started on the
grazing period at an average
weight of 38 pounds each and on
August 30, just 81 days later,
they were reweighed, showing a
gain of 9 IL pounds each or about
one-half a pound gain per day.
Mr.. Oldham fed the pigs about
three-fourths of a pound of grain
each day consisting of a mixture
Of one-half oats and one-half
corn.
Charlie Clark says that both
farmers are pleased with this
demonstration of how to feed
pigs cheaply and they plan to use
grazing crops more extensively
in the future. In doing so, they
are simply applying knowledge
that will mean much to the hog
growing industry of the State.

PATTON BIDS 3RD
ARMY "GOODBYE''
BY BOB MILLER
United Press Staff Correspondent

-
BAD TOELZ, Oct. T. Gen.
George S. Patton, respondent in
polished riding boots, campaign
ribbons and glistening silver
stars, but without his pearl-hand-
led pistols babe farewell today to
the Third Army and in a six
minute ceremony relinquished his
command to 1t. Gen. Lucian K
Truscott.
''All good things must come to
an end," Patton said in a so sec.
ond farewell address to 400 select.
ed officers and men of his com
mand. He spoke from a wooden
platform in the gymna SUM of the
former S. S. Military Academy
here where the Army stages its
U. S. o. shows.
Addressing the officers and men
as "comrades,o Patton said:
1.-The best thing that ever came
to me thus far is the honor and
privilege of having command Of
the Third Army"
He carefully avoided any mention
of the circumstances which re.
suited in his transfer to command
of the 18th Army, headquarters
echeleon in the French occupation
zone compiling a history of the
American campaign in Europe.
He was removed by Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower because he tolerat-
ed Nazis in office in his Bavarian
occupation zone.
Truscott briefly paid tribute to
Patton as the man who has writ
ten one of the greatest pages in
military history" adding that Pat.
ton would be remembered by those
he commanded as long as there
is a man or woman alive who serv.
ed under him.
Rain and hail forced the cere.
mony indoors. Four Major Gener-
ais, two Brigadier Generals and
% Colonies were on the plywood
stage.
Patton wore his cavalry uni.
form - highly polished leather
boots, riding breeches and a khaki
battle jacket complete with serv.
ice ribbons earned in campaigns
from Mexico to Bavaria.
The stormy General began his
speech in his high-pitched rasping
voice by declaring that all good
things must come to and end," ano
explaining that he was referring
to himself, not the Third Army.
"You will find in Truscott every
characteristic which will inspire
in you the same loyalty and de.
votion you so generously afforded
me-" Patton said.
He said the success of the Thirc
Army which eliminated more thar
100000 Germans was due primar'
lily to the fighting heart of Ameri
ca"
'But without the coordinating
and supply activities of the gener
al and special Stats, even Ameri
can valor would not have sufficed,' y
he said.
He ended his speech with q
throaty:
Goodbye and God bless you"
