T THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 19.52, THE JOHNSTONIAN—SUN. SELMA. N, C. .(f- News of Interest to Farmers of Johnston and Adjoining Counties Dahlias Add Beauty To Any Farm Home United States Tests Manchurian Soybeans NOTICE OF SALE UNDER execution. A soil that will produce good vegetables will grow dahlias and no :r;.ire beautiful spot can be had about any home than a dahlia gard en. Locate it in a sunny spot with partial shade in the afternoon and protected from the drying winds ■ rT summer for best success. These, in brief, are suggestions liiade by Robert Schmidt of the buricultural department at State College to those who wi.sh to have 'Ome of these beautiful flowers about the place this season. If the -oil is rich, no fertilizer treatment is needed when the clumps are planted but if the soil is poor and run down, it may be wi.se to turn under a liberal application of well- ivjtted stable manure. Whatever the treatment at planting time, when the dahlia plants get about 15 in. iiigh, top-dress them with a good potato fertilizer but do not let the 'Vrtilizer come closer than about 6 inches from the hill. In dividing dahlias for planting, .keep in mind, he says, that the eyes ne found on the base of the stem or crown and not on the roots themselves. A root without an eye worthless. On the other hand one ■aood root with one eye is all that is necessary for a stron.g plant. The pnedium-sized roots are better than the large ones. Mr. Schmidt recommends planting .’f.hlias from April 1 to late June in the vicinity of Raleigh. The best average time is from May 1 to May 15. Early planting will give blooms ’■ppm July until frost. Dahlias, he says, should be planted 0 inches -'trop in sandy soils and not over 4 to 5 inches deep in heavy soil-. Space the'hills three feet apart in rows from 3 1-2 to 4 feet apart. If several sprouts come up, thin :iut to one. It is also necessary to ■take the plants so' that they may > pt be in.iured by hard rains and wind storms. When the plants get bout 12 to 15 inches tall tie them ;po the stakes and make later ty- ng's as the plants’ grow taller. undeveloped industries of poultry farmin,g in this State. He says the early Chinese and Egyptians knew about this delightful meat and practiced caponizing in ancient days. The Greeks and Romans learned the art and gave the industry to Europe where the consumption of capon meat is generally followed. The .surplus cockerels on a farm may be used for this purpose. How ever, only well developed birds should be used. If vigorous, robust, worm-free birds are used, they may be grown out into heavy capons that bring good prices. Never use a leghorn for this purpose, he ad vises but use such breeds as the Rocks, Brahmas, Orpingtons, Corn ish, Wyandottes or Jersey Black Giants. Timing the caponizing operation is necesary. The best markets ex ist about Easter and this avoids putting the capons into competition with turkey at Thanksgiving and Christma.s. Ta have birds ready for the Ea-ter market, caponize them about July 1 to 15. This will give them time to devepol large frame.s and to go through the intensive feeding period which finishes such a bird in from 10 to 14 days. Mr. Dearstyne believes there is no sound reason why capon pro duction should not become a ma.ior farm industry in this State. The man who will caponize a few birds in April, May, June and July, he may .get some money from them when cash is needed. Manchurian soybeans, the chief crop of the Asiatic region for which they are named, are to be given thorough trial in 12 States this year, the United States Depart ment of Agriculture says. The beans, more than 3,000 vari eties of them, were gathered by W. J. Morse of the department, in a 2- year Asiatic plant expedition. Last year the seeds were grown on the Arlington Experiment Farm in "Vir ginia, and this year the varieties will be sent to experiment stations in different regions of the United States to test them under conditions most nearly like those in Manchuria, Japan, Korea, and F'ormosa, where they grow naturally. The soybeans vary from those- which ripen in 78 days to those which reciuire 173 or more days to ripen. The States to which the beans will ben sent for planting this year are: Ohio, Iowa, Illinoi.s-, Missouri, Mis sissippi, South Carolina, North Car olina, Louisiana, Wisconsin, New York, Indiana, and Massachusetts. Soybean production has increased rapidly in the United States in the last few years. In 1929,, it was es timated that 880,000 acres were har vested, while in 1931 this figure had .jumped to 1,271,000 acres. GRAZE VELVET BEANS WITH BEEF CATTLE An economical way to winter or ■atten beef cattle is to graze them “ ; velvet beans planted in corn. A -'■luble purpose of improving the -oil and fattening the animals is a us served. L. I. Case, beef cattle expert at - Slate College, recommends the Hun- :red Day Speckled as the best var- ty for this purpose. This bean is .’so known in some localities a.s -.be Early Speckled or Ninety Day Speckled. The bean seed may be - ianted in the corn when it L first ■ianted or between the corn rows at the first cultivation. The latter plan allows the corn to make some growth ahead of the beans and is therefore not pulled down by the ■can vines to such a great extent a ter in the season. The best method of using the .cans in cattle feding is to permit the animals to graze the two cro])s. . f the corn should be needed for .tther purix)ses, it might be wise to .snap some of the ears prior to put ting the beef animals in the field. In some cases too, the mature beans -are gathered late in winter to se- . ure planting seed for another sea son. Some growers gather the beans or feed. Mr. Case suggests that grazing -tart following the first hard frost -nd be continued through the win- r-r. When the fields are grazed by cattle, hogs may be used to follow them and pick up such corn and 'jeans as should be trampled down. Both vines and beans -will remain edible throughout the winter ex- >osure. In fact, says Mr. Case, weathering makes the beans more ■palatable by softening the pods. Mr. Case tells of instances where 'oeef animals have gained as high a,s 200 pounds each in 90 days by crazing in this way. They may not 'rave the best finish, but they do ■nake good beef. GROW MORE CAPONS AS FARM SIDELINE Nothing is more appetizing oh the “amily table than a well grown and -’inished capon and they may be -old readily on local markets. Co- .-iperative shipments by a group of ■growers may be made to excellent advantage especially around the 'Easter holiday.s when cash on the farm is generally at a low ebb. Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the State College poultry department, sees in capon production one of the Women Washington Bound To Help Wets 4-H Girls Contest Saturday, April 23rd Washington, April 9.—The national capital, which has resounded to much discussion of prohibition In recent months, is soon to hear more vigorous opinions on the subject. The opinions will be those of 1,000 or more women favoring re vision of the prohibition laws who will gather here April 12 and 18 for the third annual conference of the Women’s Organization for National Prohibition Reform. In choosing Washington for their meeting place the women anti-pro hibition leaders have elected to voice their beliefs almost within earshot of Congress, and at a time when political attention is centered upon the planks to be adopted at the na tional political convention a hare two months away. The meeting will bring to Wash ington many women who have be come nationally known for their ac tivities in opposition to the prohi bition laws. Tariff For Revenue Stirs Up Discussion Wa.-hington, April 10.—The tariff row hung forebodingly over the fut ure of the billion dollar revenue bill today m the .senate. A warning that Congress would be here all summer if the hou-o provision levying an import duty on oil was eliminatd, was sounded by Senator Thomas, Democrat, Oklaho- m,a in a statement off the floor. The group opposed to tariffs in the bill was just a's insi.-tent that the .door be closed to all import levies in the revenue bill lest the contest force a lengthy dispute. Senator Tydings, Democrat, Mary land, said he would seek a vote ear- l.v next week on his resolution to have the senate instruct the finance committee to exclude all tariff rates from the tax measure. He believes he can muster a majority. Meanwhile, a tariff combination is forming in the senate, including the backers of import duties on cop per, lumber, wood pulp and manga nese. United with the group favor ing the oil and coal duties it rep- re.-ents formidable strength. Saturday, April 23., is the date set for the 4-H girls club contest, including both the health and bis cuit contests. The girls are asked, to send four baking powder bis cuits in a box with their name and address and age to the county home demonstration a.gent’s office, Satui’- day by eleven o’clock. The judges for the biscuit contest will be Mrs. A. S. Johnston, Mrs. Carl Pugh and Mrs. Ellis, the judging to be done at 11 o’clock. So all biscuits must be in by that time. By 10:30 o’clock all entrance for the health contest should be in Dr. Massey’s office. Any 4-H girl may enter. However, we are especially anxious for the girls who have won out in their own local contest. The following clubs will be represented: Archer Lodge, Cleveland, Meadow, Wilson Mills, Selma Jr., and Princeton. Remem ber the biscuits should not be larger than two inches any way; between one and one-half to 2 inches is the size required. Those who win in the bi'Cuit contest should send four biscuits to Washin.gton, N. C., so as to be there May- 3rd. That means they should be mailed on May 2nd to Miss Pauline Smith, District agent, ' Home Demonstration work, Wa-hington, N. C. The winner in Washington will compete with the winners of each district at the .girls’ short course in Ralei.gh in August. Arran,gements have not yet been made for the district health contest. The winner in the biscuit conte-t will be given an award on May 2nd at the May Day Program, Smith- field. Most of the women’s clubs have offered to .give a prize to their own local health -contestant. This will al.so be presented on May 2nd. RACHEL EVERETT, Home Demonstration A.gt.

Combined Meeting of Home Demonstrators A .get-together meeting of all the home demonstration clubs in the county is to be held at the high .school on May 2nd. The chief speak er of the day will be Myra de Haven Woodruff, associate in home economics research. State College, Raleigh. Miss Woodruff’s address will be on some phase of child develop ment. We have been trying for sev- ei-al months to get Miss- Woodruff here and we are delighted to find that she can come to us. It was hoped that she might be able to stay for a night meeting of the Parent Teachers’ Association, but it wa-s impossible for her to do so, so the meeting at 11 o’clock will be thrown open to all of the public, both men and women. Especially are those invited who are interested in the recreation for home and commu nity as Miss Woodruff has been asked to .give a talk on that sub ject. During the noon hour Miss Woodruff will be present for indi vidual problems and will talk pri vately with any who are interested in special child behavior problems. The rest of the morning program will be taken up by the various clubs. The home agent is offerin,g a corsage bouquet to the president bririgm.g largest number the fai'- thest distance. When the roll is called each club stands and is counted. The president should then .give the distance traveled. If there is a club house count mileage from that point. If not, estimate the average distance traveled. Din ner will be served in the basement after the children are through. Each woman is asked to bring anyone of the following: Potato and egg sal ad, cold chicken or ham, rolls, pick les, deviled eggs, lemons and .sugar for lemonade. See your president a-- to what she wishes you to bring. It is expected that some of the clubs will come m trucks. The afternoon program will be for the' benefit of the queen and her court. The queen will be the highest scoi’e .girl in the county and her court to be the one.-- who stand highest in each club. The prize winner .girl will be given a .scholarship to the short course at Raleigh this .summer. The pro,gram will consist of the crowning of the May Queen and various entertain ing numbers .given by the various clubs. Mrs. Charles Broadhurst will assist in the ceremony. The local leaders - of the girls' clubs are asked to see that their winner is" down here on Saturday mornin.g for the examination and on Monday after noon, May 2, for the ceremony. The program will start at 2:30 o’clock. The a.gent asks that each woman’s club who has a junior club will see that the girl is able to get there for these meetings. RACHEL EVERETT, Home Demonstration Agt. SENTIMENT IS CHANGING. You can abuse a man who is do ing a fairly good job for a certain length of time, among people who are discontented for many reasons, and get away with it. They don’t care whether he’s right or wron.g; ther’re just agin him. But if the man keeps on doing a good job, and abusers keep on abusing him, event ually the American sentiment of fair play takes possession of the situation.
