Time to put the brush in to
keep them clean and make them
easier to pick.
Amaryllis Care
If you have been growing
amaryllis in a sunny window,
be sure to keep on watering and
fertilizing it until the weather
is warm enough for it to be put
outside. Sink the pot up to its
rim in some sheltered spot and
keep it growing until fall.
Slip Geraniurns
It will soon be time to put the
geranium cuttings outside. Cen
orally the old plants are too
large and too unshaply to set
outside. It is not too late even
now to take slips from your
favorites and root them In moist
sand.
Geraniums are becoming high

they are SO attractive in tubs
or pots placed on the garden
wall or patio. They are fine for
window boxes or borders also.

malls which should be lifted now

and host of others.
BeetS.
Beets require special care in
planting and a light sandy soil.
Sow inch deep and 2 inches
apart. For 100 feet Of row, one
ounce of seed will be required.
Cover very lightly with compost

beets thin the stand once or

The ordinary fertilizer is sat-

with the soil add additional lime
and potash.
Cabbage
Early crop cabbage is most
satisfactory in this area. Set the
plants deeper than they grew in
the fats. They require rich soil.

is late for cabbage but due to
the bad weather in late March
and early April we will just need
to give extra care to keep them
developing rapidly.
Chard
Chard and carrots may still
be put in. There are two kinds
of chard recommended for this
area, Lucullus tgreen) and rhu-
barb chard (red) which takes a
few more days to reach maturity.
: Carrots do best in fairly
loose sandy soil. Plant only a
short row at a time and use
them while they are young and
tender.
For a Hot Spot
Try Tithonia for a hot, sunny
spot. It looks like the touch for
which it is named--torch flower.
It blooms best when other flowers
are few--late July and August.
Gardens VS., Shrubs
Do not plant your garden un-
der trees or within 10 feet Of
large shrubs or hedges. Plant
the silort-season crops nearest to
trees as they will mature before
competition for sun and moisture
becomes too great.

i Pruning Forsythia
The forsythia bloom was badly

Now, after the bloom Is gone,
is the right time to prune.
Pralne by taking out one-third

This Is the time of year wher
dogwoods need special care
There are no small trees that
can be more highly recon-
mended for this area. They
please us with beautiful white
and pink blossoms in the spring
and colored foliage in the au-
turnn. Then, all winter long
the pattern of their budded
branches lends interest to the
landscape.
A dogwood can be used as a
specimen planting in a large
shrub border to add height and
grace, or as a solid background
planting
Dogwoods are especially ef-
fective against a background OF
evergreens.
PLANTING
They may be planted in spring
or fall. If brought in from the
wild they do much better if taken
in the spring,
OF course we do not mean that
they should be taken from the
woods except where they are
moved on ones own property or
are rescued from the pillow or
excavator which goes in and
ruthlessly destroys them because
they are in the way of roads or
foundations for new housing.

AMERICANS ARE EATING more
animal proteins than ever before With
SURPRISES of feeds continuing to mount,
the livestock industry will continue to
convert grains to meat at an increasing
rate SO long AS they. can find profitable
markets.
For a number of reasons I think tur-
key is destined to share increasingly
in this expanding market for meats.
The 1854 consumption of turkeys, COM
pared with the 1859 average, was up
ITO per cent, or from less than three
pounds to nearly six pounds per capita
To put it another way, the per capita
consumption of turkey increased about
20 per cent more than the cor1sump-
ton of red meats and IS per cent more
than other poultry during that period
Fast Gains
Turkeys hope for future growth is
largely inherent in the product itself
Several weeks ago we visited one of
our large eastern universities One of
their leading poultry authorities told
us that todays improved breed of tur-
keys is the most efficient converter of
feeds of any meat-yielding animal-at
least up to IL weeks of age. Even at
full maturity of "a to 26 weeks, tur-
key is virtually the equal of the second
best on a feed-grain ratio basis. There
is also considerable evidence that the
protein content of turkey seems to COM
pare very well with other meats-per-
haps a little higher than most-and that
its quality is good.
Another favorable factor for turkey

is the aura of gIamor around it. Hav-
ing started as a festive bird, 1t is still
associated with quality
Another factor causing increased per
capita consumption of turkeys is the
improved buying power of consumers
And then there's population growth
In the years ahead, net increase in
the nation population of approximate
1y two and a half million people year
will provide an additional market for
turkey meat of all types.
All these factors, backed by national,
regional and local promotion cam
paigns, point to long-range upward
trends in turkey consumption. Con-
sumption last year was the highest on
record. Equal or better consumption
is expected this year if supplies are
available and if prices are reasonable.
Other trends to be clearly noted in
clude these:
Earlier Buying
l. From consumer standpoint, tur-
keys are still principally a holiday food,
with Y per cent heavy type and As
per cent light (estimated) percentage
of all turkeys produced last year mar
keted between Sept. and Nov 80 The
trend, even for holiday marketing, is
to earlier buying, with birds purchased
in September by the retailers and other
large operators pretty well setting the
price for the entire holiday season.
g There is a definite trend, which
will grow with each year, towards
more uniform year-around marketing
of turkeys This trend has advanced
