I I THE JOHNSTONIAN—SUN, SELMA, N. C. THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 193" News of Interest to Johnston County Farmers Finds Market Garden Pays Good Income Some North Carolina gardeners are finding that it pays to plant a good acreage to vegetables for sale in nearby markeas. J. B. Taylor or Newland, Avery County, cashed in on this idea last year when he sold the produce from a two-acre garden to tourists and hotel keepers in the amount of $400. In addition he canned some 40} «iuarts of surplus vegetables for winter use and kept his own fam ily supplied with fresh vegetables during the growing season. He says he gave away about $15 worth of vegetables to neighbors and others. “We know that the home garden from one-half to one acre in size will supply a farm family with all the vegetables needed during the year if the plots is given the prop er attention,’ says H. R. Niswonger, extension horiculturist at State Col lege. “There are special conditions, however, where one might enlarge his garden area and become a mar ket gardener. Mr. Taylor did this last year and he knows exactly the results of his operations because he kept an itemized account of all ex penses and sales. He sold $400 ■worth of vegetables to nearby tour- i.st hotels and boarding houses; gave away about $15 worth and canned ,400 quarts for winter use. His cost for seed and fertlizer amounted to $20.80 which leaves rather a good labor income.” Mr. Taylor sold these things from hi- garden: English peas, head let tuce, onions, beets, carrots, spinach, turnips, cauliflower, cabbage, Lima beans, sweet corn, snap beans and squash. In addition, he had a small acre age of Irish potatoes, red raspber ries and ever-bearing strawberries from ■which he sold the surplus. No itemized acount was kept of these sales, Niswonger says, NOTICE TO FARMERS. Mr. F. M. Edgerton, District En gineer of this district, is asking the full co-operation of all farm- erms in keeping their farm har rows and other farm implements off the roads, and to stop all field plowing before entering the road gutters as this drags dirt and other rubbage into the side guters, and water furrows extending to these gutters causes sand to wash in and fill the gutters. Kind Of Fertilizer, Factor With Tobacco Three Things Required For Better Pastures j John D. Rockfeller '•(f Short Of Cash Ormond Beach, Fla., March 7.— John D. Rockfeller, Sr., ninety-three- year-old multi-millionaire, suffering temporary financial stringency with the rest of the nation under the country-wide banking holiday, ran his household today on a credit basis. Nestor W. Davis, his secre tary, said; "Mr. Rockfeller’s doing the best he can under the circumstances just like everyone else.” The only outward indication of his personal reaction to the emergency was a ces.sation of the stream of shiny new dimes he habitually dis tributed to small boys and acquain tances as souvenirs. Caught with only a small amount of cash in his winter home, the Casements, Rockfeller has used his unlimited credit to provide his house hold necessities. The financial emergency, how ever, caused the magnate, once the nation’s richest man, no worry. He said; “Everything will be all right. We must hope for the best.” The growth and quality of tobacco is greatly influenced by the kind of commercial fertilizer used and now that growers are planning to secure their mixtures for the coming sea son, the (luestion is how to get the right kind at a given price. ‘For five years, we have been conducting about 15 demonstrations a year with leading growers in at tempting to find the best fertilizer mixtures for the different sections,” say.s E. Y. Floyd, tobacco specialist at State College. “These demonstra tions have shown that an 8-3-5 i.s the best mixture on soils where to bacco grows to plenty of size and an 8-4-6 mixture is suitable where the crop does not normally grow to a desirable size.” But there is more to consider than just the analysis, Floyd says. The phosphate makes new growth and helps maturity; nitrogen gives grow th and potash makes for quality. A .small amount of chlorine is benefi cial, but over two percent is harm ful. Magnesia also is beneficial and should be used in most tobacco fer tilizers. Those farmers who have us ed dolomitic limestone in the la§t few years probably do not need to worry about this element. The mag- -lesia controls sanddrown. In supplying nitrogen, Floyd rec ommends 50 percent mineral and 50 percent organic. Of the mineral, one half should come from nitrate of soda and one-half from sulfate of ammonia. Of the organic, one-half should come from cottonseed meal and one-half from such carriers as blood, Peruvian Guano, or high grade animal tankage. Fish meal .should be used lightly, especially so on thin, sandy soils. Apply the fertilizer about a week to ten days before transplanting, he cautions. A fertile soil, adapted seed mix tures and more seed per acre are three essentials in successful, per manent pasture building in North Carolina. As outlined by A. C. Kimrey, dairy extension specialist at State College, these three factors are too often overlooked by those attempt ing to balance their farm operations through the addition of livestock. It is foolish, he says, to attempt to e.stablish a good pasture on land that is poor to produce a crop prof itably. If the land is not fertile enough to produce a good crop of corn, it will not produce a good crop of pa.sture grasses. In securing adapted grasses the best plan is to find out which gras ses have survived in previous plant ing’s. In many North Carolina coun ties, the orchard, herds, Kentucky Blue and Dallis grasses have out lived others. Lespedeza and white Dutch clovers are the two legume.- which seem to be generally adapted. Given a fertile soil and adapted grasses the next factor is to seed heavily enough to secure a sod. Kimrey finds that the usual plan is to make a thin sprinkling of seed which takes too much time to cov er the ground. When the. hot sum mer sun comes along, the grasses are killed. A sufficient .stand of grass and leg-umes to completely cover the land before killed by sum mer heat is rarely ever secured. Therefore, he recommends not less than 50 to 60 pounds of grass seed an acre and says a good mixture for one acre is as follows: 15 pounds of orchard grass; 10 pounds of herds grass or red top; 8 pounds of Kentucky Blue grass; 5 pounds of Dallis grass; 5 pounds of White Dutch clover and 15 pounds of com mon lespedeza. Seeding with this mixture on each acre should estab lish a pasture sod, Kimrey says. Farm Questions Answered At State Finally Pronounced Dead By Doctors Q. What kind and amount of fer tilizer .should I use for Irish pota- toe-^ on sandy loam soil ? A. Use a mixture of 7 percent phosphoric acid, 5 percent amonia, j and 5 percent potash. For best re sults, use 2,000 pounds to the acre and mix well with the soil before the potatoes are planted. A side ap plication of 150 pounds of sulphate of ammonia or 200 pounds of ni trate of soda should be made when the plants are from 4 to 6 inches high. Deleware Man Who Had “Died” Several Times At Last Appears To Have Succumbed. Judge Hayes Defers Senator Davis’ Trial Hearing Ou Lottery Charge Post poned Because Senator Is Need ed In Washington. Three Persons Killed By Passenger Train Kannapolis, March. 6.—Henry Davis, 34, unemployed, and his two daughters were instantly killed here today when a Southern railway pas senger train .struck their automobile as Davis was taking the girl.s to school. Davis apparently did not see the approaching train as he drove over Graever’s crossing and the train, which does not stop here, carried the machine over 200 yards down the track. The daughters were Thelma, 16, and Catherine, 14. .-Vnother child and Davis’ wife survive. The coroner was out of the city today and Chief of Police Ira Chap- ■man said it was probable that no inque.st would be held. As far as was known, the only eyewitness was Richard Swink who .said Davis “aparently did not look in the direction” from which the train approached. Swink said the body of Thelma ■was hurled from the automobile aft er it had been carried 100 feet do'wn the track and that in another 100 feet the botly of Catherine was thrown clear. Davis’ body was found crushed in the wreckage of the machine. Funeral arrangements had not been completed late today. New York, March 6.—Heeding plea that United States Senator James J. Davis would be needed in Washington for the special session of Congress, starting Thursday; Federal Judge Johnson J. Hayes to day postponed his trial on federal lottery charges until next Monday. The adjournment was granted on the understanding that the attorneys would not ask further postpone ment. “I am reluctant to do this,” the court said, “but 1 cannot be unmind ful of the fact that a national emer gency exist- and that every state should have full representation in the national Congress. This post ponement is granted in the under standing that the case go to trial next Monday. 1 hope that by that time the national emergency will have been met. but if not, we’ll have to go along, anyway.” Davis’ attorneys had told the court that his trial, if it went on now, would deprive Penn.sylvania of its due repre.sentation, and that Davis was slatted to be a member of the banking committee of the senate. Many Attend Rites For Senator Walsh Dignitaries of Church and State Pay Tribute At Bier of StaJtesraaTi At Capital. Washington, March 6.—About a flower banked bier in the senate chamber, dignitaries of church and state bade a sorrowing farewell to day to the late Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana. Beside the dully gleaming silver- ed-bronzed casket near the vice president’s desk in the chamber in which Walsh served 20 years, sat the members of his family in deep mourning. A scant three feet away. Presi dent Roosevelt, hands crossed in his lap and head half-bowed, added his homage to the memory of the quiet Montana legislator whom he had chosen to be his attorney general. Clothed with all the dignity of their robes of office. Chief Justice Hughes and associate justices of the Supreme court likewise sat in rev erent silence. Member.- of Congre.ss, the cabinet, the diplomatic corps and the commanders of the military sei-v’ices, too, were present, Mrs. Roosevelt looked on from the presi dential gallery, while hundreds of others less notable watched from the other galleries. Archbishop Michale J. Cm-ley of Baltimore, assisted by Bishop John McNamara of Washington, the auxil iary bishop of Baltimore, and other prelates in the colorful robes of their ranks, officiated at the ob sequies with the impressive ritual of the Roman Catholic church. Facing the flowing crucifix at the head of the casket, the archbi.shop said of the late senator: “He loved and served God—he loved and served hi.- fellow man.” Senator Walsh’s widow ,the form er Senora Nieves Perez Chaumont de Truffin, of Havana, to whom the senator was wed but a few days be- for his death Thursday morning, had to be assisted from place by her Marcial Truffin, and John Walsh, Q. What causes blood spots in eggs and how can this condition be remedied ? | A. Eggs with blood clots or spots | appear during the sea on of heavy production and are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the) ovary. There is no way of correct ing thi- condition but the eggs can be detected by candling and remov ed from those offered for sale. This condition, however, is only tempor ary and is not consistently found in the production of any one bird. Q. How many dahlia stalks should be left and how should the plants be cultivated ? A. Leave only one strong stalk. .AH others that come up from the root should be removed. All beds should have deep cultivation until the plants begin to bloom after which the cultivation should be very shallow. A heavy, straw mulch can be used in place of the shallow cultivation after blooming. Deaith of Little Nancy Hazel Creech. One of the strangest cases in medical annals ended Saturday night at Wilmington, Deleware, as Leroy Taylor, 43, officially was pro nounced dead. Taylor actually died on Thursday, but not until exhaustive tests over a period of two days failed to show any sig’ns of life, and rigor mortis set in full were attending physician- ready to state unequivocally that he was ready for the undertaker. That was because Taylor had “died” several times before. Once, in 1927, he dropped in the Reading railroad station in Phila delphia. Authorities pronounced him dead. He was taken to the morgue and placed on a slab to await identification. The attendant went out of the room for a moment. Returning, he took one look, shrieked in terror, and fled. For Taylor was sitting up, gaz ing about him in bewilderment. Several times later Taylor seem ed dead, and ordinary tests failed to show otherwise. A stethoscope gave no indication of a heart beat. But each time, after a period of an hour or two, Taylor revived. The cause lay in a war injury. As a result of it, a vein and an ar tery in his head, his family said, were connected and venous blood seeped from the vein into the ar terial system. When sufficient venous blood got, into the arterial sy.-tem, a condi tion difficult for physicians to e.x- plain other than in medical term- resulted. Approximately what hap pened wa- that masses of bubbles appeared in the blood. That would result in a deep sleep so similar to death, his family de clared ,as to defy ordinary, perfunc tory examination. —Wilson county farmers have pur chased some 4,000 pounds of les pedeza seed so far in 1933, report- county agent W. L. .Adams. Running short of corn due to the drought last summer, a group at Johnston county farmers cooperat ed to buy 2,000 bushels recently.

Judge Hayes is from Greensboro, N. C. He came to New York to sit in the Davis trial becau.se of an ov erfull calendar in this district. During the past seven years, Lin coln county poultry growers have sold 700,000 pounds of surplus poultry for a total income to the farmers of $151,000. Other members of the family re tired immediately to the Wal.-h apartment here to compose them selves for the long journey to the final resting place in Helena, Mon tana, which began this afternoon. Mrs. Walsh, the widow, was placed under a doctor’s care and did not attempt the journey. After services in the Catholic ca thedral at Helena on Thursday morn ing, burial will be solemnized in the Resurrection cemetery by the side of the senator’s fir.-t wife, who died in 1917. On Wednesday morning, Februai’y 15th, just after the sun rose, the Death Angels visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gid Creech and took from them their daring little baby, Nancy Hazel. Her sudden death came as an entire shock to the community. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh; blessed be the name of the Lord. Weep not, dear ones, as those who have no hope, for she is rest ing in the arms of Jesus. We know she cannot come to us but if we will be prepared when our time comes, we surely can go to her. She was only one more bud on earth to bloom in Heaven. She leaves to mourn their loss, father, mother, one brother and five ssters. The funeral was held at Hephzi- bah Baptist church Thursday after noon, by their pastor. Rev. L. E. Godwin, after which the little body was taken to the Woodard ceme tery in the presence of a large crowd of sorro^wing friends and relatives. The pallbearers were; Floyd Holloman, Loyd Starling, Melton Woodard, FeiTell Little. The flower girl.s were: Martha, Mary and Mary Elizabeth Thompson, Martha Sanders, Madeline Pilking- ton, Rachel Summerlin, Pauline Woodard. The floral offerings were beautiful. THrow OFF That A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved s still; A place is vacant in our home That never can be filled. One by one the Lord will call us, As our labors here are done. And as then we cross the River, May Via meet her one by one. MRS. WALTER PITTMAN, Her Aunt.
