AS farming went so went the ma
ton.
To-day, however, there are en-
ployed in industry about At mill
lion people, who receive about
$146 billion dollars. These pes.
and not farmers determine the
conditions of u national economy.
And their importance is becoming
more and more significant.
ITO go back no further than
1929, wages and salaries made up
81 per cent of our total national
income. Today the percentage
figure is "a per cent. In short,
our national economy, which once
was purely agricultural, is now
a salary and wage economy" For
ster continues.
There is, based on this fact, a
close relation between the pros
perity of farming in North Caro-
lima and national industrial &C
tivity. AS the national income
has changed, our agricultural In
come has also changed. From 1929
to 1915 the gross income received
from farm marketings in this state
has changed $124 for a change of
500, 600 the national income pay
ments. If this relationship be-
tween farm income and the ma
tional income holds true, farmers
income next year will be, on the
whole, highly satisfactory"
Forster explains the reasons for
this are that employment is now
at a high level, employer-labor re-
lations have improved, and ma
tional income for 1913 will reach
about ITO billion dollars. These
favorable conditions should con
tinue in 1919 and 1850.
On the basis of this data, gross
returns to farmers in this state
in 1s47-4s ought to be about 724
million dollars or an increase of
about seven million dollars over
1915, he says.

record was even better in light
tests.
"In light truck-tire tests, in rear
wheel positions" he said, tires
made from a selected variety OF
gave 800 per cent more
than tires made from reg
ular commercial cotton cord"
He suggested that ''the time has
come for US to give more thought
to the selection Of varieties OF
and other crops that pos
sess the characteristics needed for
the things we want to make.
This is particularly true OF
crops grown for industrial pur-
poses" he declared.

TAR HEEL GARDENER

Easter is past and that means
it should be safe to plant prac-
tically all of the tender vegetables.
I said practically" because there
are two or three exceptions. Lima
beans, eggplant, and okra, for in
stance, require not only warm
days, but warm nights as well
before they will grow s~at.sfactor-
lily.
Except in the eastern part of
the state, I would delay planting
these vegetables until around May
1.
There is an old saying about
planting the garden on Good Fri
day. That is exactly what too
many people do. There is nothing
wrong with planting part of the
garden on Good Friday; in fact,
this is an excellent, practice.
Too many people, however, plant
the entire garden On this day and
then wait until the next year be-
fore planting again. In other
words, what I mean is, make sue
cessive paintings of most vege-
tables. Have them coming in
throughout the season..
The gardener that brags about
having vegetables to throw away
is not a wise gardener. Paintings
of snap beans and corn, for in
stance, should be made every two
weeks throughout the season. Two
or three paintings of tomatoes,
squash, and lima beans should be
sufficient. Other vegetables, such
as carrots, mustard, turnips, let
ltuce, beets, broccoli and cabbage,
should only be planted in very
early spring for a spring crop
and again in late summer for a
fall crop.
The tomato is another vegetable
that likes warm days and nights.
1t should not be planted until all
danger of frost is over. Tomatoes
can be grown on most soils, pro-
vided they are free Of wilt. There
are two kinds of willis; the fu-
sarium wilt and bacterial wilt.
Several varieties are resistant to
lfusarium wilt, the most resistant
being the Pan America.
Other resistant varieties (none
cf them completely immune) are
Rutgers, Pritchard, Marglobe and
several others. There is no con-
troll for the bacterial wilt. The
only way to avoid losses from this
wilt is to make plantings in the
soil that is free of the disease.

To fill a definite need in the
East Wilmington section, a group
OF 10 young married women in
New Hanover county have organ
lied the first Junior Home Demon
stration club of the section.
Inspired by the East Wilmington
Home Demonstration Club, the
young women appealed for hep
recently in organizing their own
club. They asked to have a club
that meets in the evenings SO that
the members husbands could stay
with the children.
The first meeting of the new
group Vas held at the home of
Mrs. Richard Turner. Mrs. Paul
Jordan, president OF the Senior
East Wilmington group, and the
home agents met with the 10 men,

Mrs. F. A. Stoutz was elected

said that he has found consider
able mold on his beds.
Fermate is very short this year,
Harper said, and IT is very doubt
full that a new supply can reach
the merchants in time to aid in
this crop. Farmers are advised
by the agent that, provided they
already have the terminate or can
get it, to begin spraying inn
mediately. Plants should be
sprayed three times a week,
he said, using two ounces
Of fermate to three and one
half gallons of water on each
100-yard of plant beds.
Blue mold has previously been
reported widely prevalent over
Columbus county.

Industrial Employment And
Income From Farms Related

Farmers of North Carolina can look forward to q pros
porous year in 1913, with the national economy in a highly
satisfactory condition and the Immediate future bright.
This means that agricultural conditions, with possibly a few
exceptions, will also be satisfactory.

How can such a prediction be made at this time, he
ment and the national income. Farm prosperity depends
almost directly upon the condition of our national economy.
