Virginia Turkey
Crop to Increase

Virginia turkey growers, who
increased production Sc per cent
last year over 1850. are planning
another IS per cent increase this
year.
Based on grower intentions, the
Virginia Department Of Agricul-
lures Division Of Statistics esti-
mates this years production at
1921 900 birds.
The figure will put Virginia,
now in fourth place, on the heels
of Minnesota, the Nations third
largest turkey State, with an. ex-
pected 5,013.O00 birds this year.
California will still be first with
an expected 9.6 million birds and
Texas second with 5.350.00o.
Virginia's big production jump
will be In broilers and fryers.
which are expected to make up
most Of the crop.
Two years ago Virginia began
the switch to marketing young
birds throughout the year, in
stead Of concentrating on big
bird sales during Thanksgiving
and Christmas.
The same trend is going
throughout the South Atlantic
States, which indicated they ex-
|pect to average o 81 per cent
production increase in 1852.
The Nation as q whole expects
to raise only IL per cent more
turkeys, or about SO million birds.

The richness Of bloom and foli-
age Of the Buckingham have
revived interest in it so that gar
deners are enjoying this snowy
early spring bloomer again. For
several years it was sort of "de
classe" because It was old-fash-.
toned. At the big spring flower
shows 1t made O most pleasing
display in the early spring gar
dens, and no doubt that has had
something to do with the renewed
popularity in the Buckingham.
The Snowy bleedingheart obi
centra Spectabilis), a member Of
the poppy family. is most easily
handled while dormant in the
late summer. While the CONNER
cial plantmen have worked out a
technique for marketing the roots
in the spring, they can be a dis
appointment. If allowed to dry out.
Generally speaking, it is better
to buy q 3-to-5-eye division in
September and plant it in a we'll
prepared bed In light shade. A
large 5-to-8-eye division gives the
best showing the spring after
planting.
The Snowy Buckingham is a
handsome plant by any standard,
and when put in q well-prepared
loamy soil, will multiply and pro-
duce scores Of snowy sprays. The
deeper and richer the soil the bet
ter the display. Like many peren-
mails, the older established clumps
produce the best spring color
effect. -
Easy to Grow.
While many consider the bleed
ingheart a tolerant, easy-to-grow
perennial, it does have a few spe-
cial requirements. Like the peony,
the top of the crown (root) should
not be buried too deeply if 1t is to
bloom freely. Two inches is deep
enough to cover the eyes. but that
depth is after the ground has set
tied. The plants respond to lib
eral feeding which may be Of ami
NAL manures, spread over the
ground in the late winter. or from
commercial plant foods worked
into the soil around the crown in
the early spring.
One of the common causes Of
failure with the Buckingham is
injury to the dormant crown. The
plants die down early in the sum-

are frequently to be found in the
wildf1ower garden where they will
thrive if given a suitable situa-

The NEEDING hearts are grown

they are not long Lasting when
cut. In the garden. a well-growr
plant of the Snowy bleedingheart
will produce a floral display that
may last for a month or two. This
will depend largely on the ex-
posure as well as the vigor Of the
plant. For this reason it is i'm
Iportant that they be planted In q
soil that is not excessively wei
Tor dry. The addition Of a con-
siderable quantity of compost to
the soil at planting time is very
important. Mulching to keep ur

Keep From Hot Sun.
The bleedinghearts. as men
toned above, do not do their hes
in full sun, although they Wi
grow in such a situation in
properly prepared soil. However
most gardeners will find suitable
locations where they are protected
from the midday sun. The wilt
species must have light shade.
Because Of the short span @
growth of the Snowy bleeding
heart and of the two native.
Squirrel-Corn and Dutchman
Brooches, it is desirable to com
bine them with other plants whicl
will carry on the season Of bloor
as well as hide the void left by tn
dormant plants.
There are many that will &C
complish this, such as daylilie'
phlox, iris, etc. Then, because W

are they attractive in bloom an

free from insect and disease prob

mer and because they leave no,
stalks or other marks OF their loca-
ton, it is easy to forget their
whereabouts while digging or cul-
tivating, and injure the crowns.
It is well to mark the location Of
each clump so as to avoid this
injury.
The Buckingham is easily
propagated by cutting which may
be taken at almost any season
provided they are handled accord
ingly. Stem cuttings of young
green shoots may be rooted in
clean sand in a moist chamber.
Cuttings may also be taken from
forced plants. a common practice
of commercial propagators. Cut
tings of stems may be- taken after
towering. Then. like the Orien-
tai peoples. root cuttings may be
taken while dormant.
Blooms Profusely.
The Snowy hleedingheart Is not
the only member of this family
of interest to local gardeners. The
Plumy Buckingham (Dicentra
eximia) is an excellent plant for
the perennial border If protected
from the hot midday sun. Unlike
the Snowy, the Plumy bleeding
heart produces a floral display
from May until frost. It is a
daintier plant growing only 10 to
IL inches high as compared to the
u to 4 feet of the spring bloomer.
The Plumy Buckingham seeds
freely under favorable conditions
and so the gardener needs not go
Ito the bother Of dividing estab-
|lished clumps in the spring.
