ITS Garden Time"
The average Columbus Couu-
ty farmer can make up the
loss of his 5 per cent rcduc-
ton in his tobacco with a good
garden. To the average fami-
ly, good properly handled
garden is worth or equal To
onc-half acre ri tobacco. So,
the loss Of 5 p"r cent Of your
tobacco allotment in 1868 may
be gained easily with a good
family garden. |; you are in

Several things were pointed
out on the forestry tour that
was attended by 40 Columbus
County farmers where they
can increase their farm income
through their woodland. On
the tour, five stops were made;
four of those. five stops were
designed to show farmers
something that they might do
On their farm that would help
increase their farm income at
a minimum of expense. The
five stops inclrdcd: natural
resccding. site preparation,
hand planting and harvesting
along with stop on fire COLI
troll.
Many Columbus County far
mcrS have some trees that are
mature and ready for harvest
ing. These trees will not get
any better if they arc allowed
To stay for five, ten or even
20 years longer.
Other farmers have wood
land that needs thinning and
will be able To reap some of
the benefits now and leave
their woodland in better con-
uition than il was before it
was Trimmed.
There is a market here i'll
Columbus County for almost
any type of forestry products
that the farmer has. There are
q number of trained profess
lone foreSterS WHO, upon pro-
per contact, will mark and cut
timber according to the best
known forestry practices of
today. On the other hand, if

companies can take land like
the Green Swamp and other
Columbus County swamps and
make them pay off for them
why can't the farmer make his
woodland pay off?
Soil Samples"
Some of the best informa-
ton and better crops in 1868
can come from your soil sam
pies. Recently we had a report
from some SO soil samples that
had gone in, and As of the SO
rceded various amounts of
lime to produce the proper
crops. Your soil sample returns
will also give you good
guide toward fertilizing your
crops. However. you as a far
mcr know your land better
than any one else and will be
able To read the information
that you get from the soil test
ing division and put it into
practice on your farm with the
fertilizer and lime you need.
II your land needs lime, fer
t.lizcr is net going to do too
much good. On the other hand,
ir you have too much lime,
fertilizer is not going to per-
form as il should Perhaps tins
Is one reason that many Co
lumbuS County formers have
been able TO get by with put
ting SO much fertilizer under
tobacco; because when the
lime content is not right, then
i: will lock up much of the
fertilizer materials that are
Put out.
The Soil Testing Division is
not rushed at ibis season of
the year. So, get your soil
samples and send them in and
use them as a guide for better
crops in 1863.
You can secure containers,
information sheets and mailing
boxes for your soil samples
from the County Extension Of
flee.

stop Cockroaches"
Reaches have a way of max
ing themselves at home even
in the cleanes. homes. They
destroy food, damage fabrics
and spread disease. Usually
they are found i'm the kitchen
