For the good of the vegetables and
flowers and for the sake of a gar
denis appearance, it is important to
cultivate all through the gardening
season. Besides keeping ahead of
the weeds, tilling the surface soil
lightly forms q mulch to prevent
evaporation of moisture. It is par
ticularly essential to stir the soil
around plants as soon as soil and
plants are dry enough after every
rain. Care should be taken, how
ever, not to dig so deeply near the
plants as to injure the roots.
Another reason for cultivating the
garden all summer Is that stirring
the soil allows air to enter. Next to
moisture, ventilation is one Of the
most valuable means of releasing sol
food to growing plants.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1947-05-22

the plants as possible without dis
turbing them. Either a hand hoe
or a wheel hoe Is an excellent tool.
If it rains a few days after the
first cultivation, stir the surface soil
again as soon as it Is dry enough,
but do not wait longer than week
before cultivating a second time
rain or no rain,-unless the ground
is too wet to work.
Weeds within the row will prob
ably have to be removed by hand
while the plants are small. Some
gardeners find an old kitchen knife
a handy helper. Or, hand weeder
IS a convenient tool AS plants grow
larger, they usually dominate SO that
weeds in the row do not prove
troublesome. Onions are one ex-
ception; the spear-like leaves do not
shade the ground enough to keer
down the husky weeds.

The New Hanover High School
Junior varsity basketball squad
has been hard at practice for the
past week, preparing for the
tough slate they will tackle this
season. For the past few years,
the Junior Varsity teams at the
High School have proven indis-
pensable as a means of develop
Ii ing possible candidates for the
varsity team.
It provides a means of giving
a player valuable experience,
without using up some of his con-
ference eligibility. Three years
ago the Junior team, coached by
Wallace West, swept through a
schedule composed of Junior Var
sites from other large high
schools, several teams from sur
rounding high schools, and var
ious other teams; losing only one
game out of seventeen, that the
last game of the season to
Camp Lejune High School team
they had previously defeated.
This years Jayvees are prac-
ticing each afternoon at the High
School gym, and from the total
turnout of over thirty boys, nine
teen have been retained so far.
Another cut is expected this week
which will narrow the squad to
a final Is.

Leading the newcomers is
Charles Niven, who piloted the

pionship team, are also out fol

NOtre Dame drew 90 IL 1lrSt
place votes and Michigan got
54 IL, with three of the 1923
experts calling first place a tie
between the two. On the usual
basis of ten points for a first
place vote, nine for second, and
so on, the Irish complied 1,184
points to 1,176 for the Wolverines.

The unbeaten but once-tied
Trojans, who will be trying to
become the first team in two
years to whip Notre Dame Satur-
day, polled two first place votes
and 1856 points, compared with
745 points and no first place bal
lots for Southern Methodist.
Normally, today's pol would
stand as the last of the season,
but since two of the top three
teams still have to meet each
other, it is being extended an ex-
ira week in fairness to all con-
cerned.
The team holding the No. l
position in the final poll, as
Notre Dame did last year, gener-
ally is accepted as the myth
cal national champion, and an
upset by Southern California
Saturday could revamp the en-
tire top ten.
Penn State, Southern Metho-
dist's Cotton Bowl foe and only

feet record, held on to fifth
