Trial Vegetable
Paintings Carried
Out in County

Vegetable trials have been con-
Quoted in the county this year under
joint auspices of County Farm Agent
John Garter and the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad.
Small trial paintings of cauliflower
and broccoli were grown, and yields
eff both crops were good.
An acre Of cauliflower was grown
by Earl Harvey on the shore Of Deep
Creek Lake, while Donald MacMurray
grew slightly over one-haf acre each
of broccoli and caulflower on his
farm near Mountain Lake Park.
The trial plot at Deep Creek Lake
was selected to include almost every
soil type and degree Of drainage
found i'm the immediate area.
The poorly drained portion pro-
duced a fair crop, but the higher
ground yielded top quality cauliflower
averaging nearly 500 crates per acre.
At the MacMuray farm, soil
chosen for the trial was not as fertile
as Harvey's, but yields Of both crops
were good. Both Harvey and Mac
Murray reported they are tentatively
planning on commercial cauliflower
acreage next year.
Carter pointed out that these crops
offer a profitable source Of addition
al income and fit in well with the
general farming practices Of the area.
Meetings will be held this winter at
which county farmers will review the
results of these trials, and consider
cooperative production and market
ing program. A meeting has been
scheduled at Accident next Monday
evening, at s o'clock, in the Agricul-
ture building Of the Accident school.
Any interested person is invited.

The Chapel Hill weekly., 1950-03-03

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Holmes
of Mount Olive talked to the
Chapel Hill Garden Club this
week about camellia culture,
which has been their hobby for
IL years and has led them to de-
velop a 4-acre garden containing
about 1000 camellia plants. They
were introduced by Mrs. Roy
Homewood, program chairman,
who prior to the meeting had
entertained officers of the club
at a luncheon honoring Mrs.
Holmes. Mr.. Holmes is a brother
of Mrs. w. w. Pierson, a mem
ber of the club.
For this locality, Mr.. Holmes
recommended either early or
late blooming camellias. "Stay
away from the mid-season varie-
ties and the doubtless" he said.
"Stick to the semi-doubles." He
defined single or semi-double
as any camellia showing sta
mems. He said the Arajishi and
Daikagura were specially suit
able for Chapel Hill.
Mr.. Holmes said camellias
should be located in semi-shade
m well drained, acid soil. They
should be planted in burlapped
balls of earth in a hole slightly
larger than the ball and should
be watered we'll and mulched
with peat moss, pine straw, or
oak leaves.
THE plants should be dras-
tically pruned and debudded.
leaving only one bud on a ter
minal," Mr.. Holmes said. Most
women hate to perform these
two operations, but they are es-
