This makes for a restful change from some of the high cost of land and building this new space must be planned.

K GARDNER From time to time I will call to your attention certain crops which do not enjoy the limelight oftey but which have possibilities in market garden. So, let's talk about Rhubarb. , The (talk* are used in aaueei and pies, hence the common name "pie plant" Root activity itarti at low temperatures and results in the appearance of rhubarb oa the market in the early spring. Our mountain friends can grow the crop, and many do, in their gardens, because I have friends in Avery County who load me up every time 1 pass their way when rhubarb is in seaaon. I am of the opinion that this crop should be more extensively grown and a mar ket developed for it in North Caro lina and neighboring states. Rhu barb does not do well in the Pied mont and Coastal Plains because the winter temperatures are not cold enough, but it can be forced in the corner of a basement, a hotbed, or under benches In the greenhouse. McDonald is a good variety. The plant if propagated by di vision of crowns. Each piece should have at least one good bud and a section of the rhizome to supply stored food. After the crown is separated, plant the seg ments a few inches below the soil surface. Space plants three or four feet, apart in rows, four to six feet wide, depending on how you plan to cultivate, ft your present planting is beginning to decline, it may be due to crowding. Rhubarb likes a deep rich soil. It will respond to manure, and this is the best fertilizer if you have it available. If not, use a complete fertilizer. Manure can be applied in the fall or winter and worked into the soil in the spring. If com mercial fertilizer is used, work it into the soil before growth starts in the spring. Sometimes an appl^ cation of nitrogen will help at the end of the cutting season. New plantings should not be harvested until they have grown for two full seasons. In established plant ings, never remove all of the leaves from a crown at one time. PROTON SYNCHROTON Soviet scientists have success fully tested the world's largest proton synchroton; designed to Mfci*v»l<U>«M)00,000 electron voMs of energy. It thus becomes the world's largest accelerator, surpassing the University of Cali fornia's Bevatron at Berkeley. Farm Questions And Answers QUESTION: tyow long ihould I wait before transplanting tobacco oa land that has been treated for nematode*? ANSWER: A waiting period of at leaat two week* is needed be fore transplanting A longer wait ing period is desirable—never leas than two weeks. QUESTION: When should pul lets be vaccinated? ANSWEB: Pullets should be vaccinated between the ages of 10 to 16 weeks. Vaccinate for only one disease at a time. QUESTION: Why is alfalfa call ed the "King of the Hay Crops"? ANSWER: It produces more hay per acre than any other crop. It will produce 3 to 4.5 tons of high quality hay per acre each year for several yean on many soils in North Carolina. It is a deep rooted perennial legume. It is rather exacting in its requirements for good growth; therefore if you are planning to seed alfalfa you must do the job right or you will be dis appointed. QUESTION: It till fescue (Ken tucky 31 or Alta) ■ recommended lawn grass for North Carolina? ANSWER: Yei. Tall feicue comes nearer giving a year 'round green lawn grass than any other grass. Groth is checked during the hot summer months, but during the fall, winter and spring it is vigorous and cold resistant. You do not have to seed it every year. It makes a coarse textured lawn and spreads very little, growing in tufts; this can be overcome largely by seeding heavily. If cut close and frequently fescue will thin out rapidly. Set the mower at about three inches. Closer clipping at frequent intervals will kill it Question: What is Social Secur ity? Answer: Social Security is an insurance policy that guarantees you three things: First, that your income will not fall below a cer tain level after reaching age 63 for men or age 62 for women. Second, that if you become dis k •feted, upon reaching 90 rmi oI age, you u the insured worfew will have *n income, provided you paid Social Security taxes for five or nor« year*.
