Home Demonstration Agent

Now is the time to dig and
transplant shrubs - especially
those which will lose their leaves,
advises Henry j. Smith, Extern
sion Landscape Specialist. IF
shrubs are dug and moved about
the time the leaves drop, it is
likely that they will grow and
bloom with a new lease on life
next spring.
Before digging the plant, cut
the branches back to main body
of the shrub, being careful not to
strip the bark; be sure to get a
good ball of dirt with the roots
ana place in a new hole larger
than The root system of the plant,
he said.
Do not overlook the opportunity
to get native plants from the
woods near your home. Many of
the best plants to use in improv-
ing your home landscape can be
found in most sections of the state.
Protect plants as azaleas and
camellias from ice and frost with
a deep mulch of leaves or pine
straw. When low temperatures
are predicted, cover favorite
plants with heavy cloth to keep
the frost off, he suggested.
IF Won are planpinC O uox,y howe
select your lot carefully, try to
have at least u acre for the ac-
tual yard. An acre or two would
be better.
Never destroy natural woodland
Il it can be kept as a part of the
yard, he advised. wild natural
growth, no matter how uncared
for, is always better looking than
lawn not properly cared for; it
provides a natural harmonious

EorlY Fall Gardening

Don't have just turnip, mus
tard and collard garden this fall
Plan to have IL to is good fall
vegetables in the garden, advised
x. H. Buckley, associate extension
horticulturist.
Some of the good vegetables to
plant IN your fall garden are: on
ions, beets, carrots, head and leaf
lettuce, radish parsley, tender
green's and cabbage. These in ad-
dition to turnip, mustard and col
lards will give you plentiful sup
ply of green vegetables until
frost, he said.
Some October jobs: save leaves
for compost piles, dig sweetpo-
tatoes before frost when the
ground is dry and store in crates,
spread barnyard manure over part
of the garden not in use and plow
under, don't forget to string some
red peppers to season the winter
sausage.
From now until December is the
time to plant asparagus crowns;
10 crowns for each person will be
enough. Use the Martha Wash
ington variety - it's rust resis-

Swomp Fugitive
Found Near Cruger
BY Tenont Former

Have you seen an armadillo
lately? 1t seems the animals
do exist outside the zoo. And
Tom Freeman, tenant farmer
on the Baldwin Plantation near
Cruger, can prove it.
Several days ago Tom dis
covered under his front door
steps peculiar armored crea-
ture with a tendency to roll UP
into a solid ball of bony shell
when attacked. Since it looked
very little like the ordinary
kind of household pet one would
expect to find lettering around
a door step, Tom ran for his
shot gun and killed the var
mint.
The problem then was to iden-
tify the victim. Tom lugged
In his kill to Lexington
where it was examined
by a number of curious towns
people. At last someone tore
out a page of the encyclopedia
that pictured an armadillo (gen-
us Dasypus), and there was
Toms pet.
1t had evidently wandered
in from the swamps, where the
shy species ordinarily lives in
seclusion, subsisting on fruits,
roots, and insects. Too bad
Tom didn't know - but the
flesh of armadillos, according
to some authorities, is esteemed
delicious, fried, baked, or boiled.
Anyone want to 60 armadillo
hunting?
