Tar Heel
Gardener
BY John H. Harris

Maybe you get tired of reading
about what the "Tar Heel Gard

subjects to write about. l. a t

to, buy some material with which
to treat the peach trees for
borers and to buy some fertilizer
to use on the lawn and on the
Strawberries.
The strawberries should be Civ
ell their fall fertilizing, that is,
if you didn't get to it in August
or earlier this month. Use about
IL gallon of 6-8-6 fertilizer per
100 it. row if your soil is of
medium fertility. On poor soils
increase this amount to as much
as l gallon per 100 it. row. On
rich soils decrease the amount to
the point where no fertilizer is
used if the vines are rank. Too
much fertilizer is almost as bad
as not enough.
On my Kentucky blue grass
lawn I'll use about 20 lbs. of
6-8-6 fertilizer Cor something near

you are seeding Italian rye grass
over your summer sod, use about
this same amount of fertilizer.
Next spring when the rye grass
begins to die, fertilizer again at
the rate of about 80 lbs. per 100C

cation will help reduce the da.

the Italian rye grass.

trees for borers. You can Sc

the overwhelming majority Of per-
manent employees of the Govern
ment are not only not guilty OF
leave abuses, but many do not use
all of their annual and use only
small fraction of their sick leave.
Furthermore, NFFE ofIicials point
out, Federal employees are denied
unemployment compensation bene-
fits granted to most private industry
employees. And jobless Government
workers have to depend on any un-
used annual leave they have ac-
crued, for which they get cash pay
ments to tide them over until they
find employment.
WAR SERVICE-Another resolu-
ton that is attracting considerable
attention here Is one that would
give permanent status to the Gov
ernment's 100000 war-service en-
ployes.
It's undecided, however, whether
the convention will put the union
on record in favor Of such a move,
Some delegates feel 1t would hurt
the civil service career system. On
the other hand, those favoring the
resolution declare war-service en-
pIoyes served their Government
faithfully during the war and should
be rewarded by being given a real
chance to obtain permanent status.
The resolution would grant per-
manent status to these workers, in
their education and previous expert
ence qualified them to I'LL the job.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?-The con-
vention voted down q resolution that
would have stricken all reference
to the NFFE as union" and
would have called 1t an "organiza-
ton" instead.
The resolution was introduced by
Local No. s70, Crank Lake. Colo.
Louis Gastellum, a delegate from
Santa Fe. N. Mex, declared: Many
people I come in contact with have
no respect for labor unions. We
could organize q lot more members,
but when they hear that we are a
union they back down"
At this point, NFFE President
Luther C. Steward sharply repri-
manded the delegates supporting
this resolution, declaring:
We are a union, no matter what
you want to call yourselves. What
some misguided persons may think
about 1t doesn't affect us-we are
a union. We're dealing with facts
mot subterfuge."
MIR. Stewards speech did the trick.
