PAGE SIX —SECTION TWO SENATOR jggt 4 SAM ERVIN Jaym i* SAYS * '% Yfgpshington While studying iht military public works bill for :he continental United States, I nade a few comparisons which 1 relieve you will find interesting. Military Construction For fiscal 1958, here are the pro ects and amounts for North Car ina: Army: Fort Bragg, sl,- 151,000; Navy: Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, $6,503,000; Haval Seaplane Facility, Harvey Point, $5,728,000; Marine Corps Air Facility, New River, Jackson ville, $39,000; Marine Corps Base, ”amp Lejeune, $2,372,000; Air Porce: Seymour Johnson AFB, 3oldsboro, $9,991,000, a total of 125,684 ,000 for military construc tion in North Carolina. Comparison North Carolina, generally speaking, ranks high in the amount of investment for mili tary activity. On the construction phase alone, our State outranks New York whose total is $19,616,- 000. We are far behind Califor nia which would get $122,191,000. I cite this to show the great amount of Federal funds being spent in North Carolina by the military on this one item. Os course, it does not include the many other expenditures for na- Ornamentals By C. W OVERMAN Crowan County Agent p Where to plant trees and shrubs can cause quite a family argu ment. Men. don’t argue, you can't win—use subterfuge. An exam ple: Recently John Harris’ (Ex tension Horticulturalist) wife came home with a batch of flow ers and was about to plant them in the lawn. He suggested a “bet- J ter” place behind a hedge near the woods. For some “unknown" reason they never reached 6 inch es high! Try to keep your lawn free of shrubs and flowers. It’s easier to mow that way and it looks bet ter, too. Some plants are need ed around the house, but they are needed at other places, too. Shade is important. No place is complete without trees, arrange them informally so they will cast shade where you need it. If your house faces north or east, it might ■ look better with trees placed at the sides to frame it but this does not mean you should never have trees in front, if you need shade j have it. For fast growing trees it is hard to beat Plane Tree (Sy camore), Willow Oak, and Tulip | Tree. Other good trees include the other oaks, maples, pecan, hackberry, ash, linden, and of, course, many others. Chinese elm. Silver maple and Lombardy NOW!

Economy? The cut-backs in personnel in the Armed Forces create a con fused situation. For example, the Army is reducing its forces by 50,000. Those who applaud the economy therein practiced are prone to forget how this action hits many career military people. This austerity program is forcing from the services many careerists who had planned on making their retirement. As you know, I have favored adequate defense preparation. I want our defense to be in being, fearing no time to prepare should an emergency strike. I believe some more effective means of providing our armed forces must be found than this “feast or fam ine” approach now in use. This is why I am reluctant to drastically reduce our personnel until a firm program can be adopted. It is false economy. If we are to urge young men and women to make a career of help ing defend our country, we ought to have a system whereby they can do it without the constant threat of being involuntarily turn ed out on the whim of the mo ment. poplar aren't so good because in- j sects or disease are likely to at tack them. Screen off unattractive views. Does your home have an area that isn’t attractive—a barnlot, clothes line, neighbor’s backyard? Look at your place from the highway, from the kitchen and living room windows and from the porch. What do you see? Is it attrac tice? If »ot, arrange your plant ing or sense to screen off unat tractive areas. Use evergreens that require little pruning, they will give a screen the year around. Examples: Ligustrum, hemlock, photinia. camellia sa sanqua, southern magnolia, yau pon, southern wax myrtle, cherry laurel and holly. Enclose your backyard for out door living. The front we usual ly leave open, however, you can enclose it if you like. The entire grounds might be more-or-less private and if surrounded by pleasing views no tall enclosure is needed. Down the side of your yard, if you do not need ever greens for screening, you can use flowering shrubs such as quince, spirea. and forsythia. Use several plants of one kind together for mass effect. Space your shrubs in the border so they will event ually grow, - together. Forsythia about 5 feet, Pyracantha. 8 feet, and dwarf azaleas about 4 feet apart. Vegetables and Fruits To be sure of good stand gar- SURROUNDED—"We ought to be home by Fairtime," quips Mrs. J. E. Stone (seated) to Mrs. Charlotte Jones as they begin the tremendous task of mailing out the 10,500 Premium Lists for the 1957 N. C. State Fair to be held October 15-19. But both Mrs. Stone, Entry Department Director, and Mrs. Jones, Office Sec retary, are experts at this job and this biggest premium list yet will soon be on its way.—(N. C. Stale Fair Photo). den vegetables should be seeded a little thicker in the fall than in the spring and gradually thinned to the desired stand. Poor stands often result from poor soil prepa-; ration and too much undecayed j grass and weeds in the soil. De-j caving debris gives off heat that I tends to kill off young seedlings. Lumpy and “trashy” soil also is full of air pockets which cause rapid drying out of seedlings ant* j roots. Collard seed may be sown dur- j ing early September and cut off I like turnip salad when the plants j are about six inches high. The! young and tender collard plants make a tasty dish. Each year vegetables of not good appearance and quality are exhibited at the community, coun ty and State fairs. In many cas es premiums are turned back be cause of too few entries. Gar deners should plan now to select vegetables that are uniform in size, shape and color, free from blemishes and true to type. Let’s don’t go to the fair and then say! “I’ve got better looking tomatoes,' etc., in my garden than they have here.” Let’s take them to the fair, show them off, win a ribbon and a cash premium, too.

Garden Clubs Join In Fight On Litterbugs Garden Clubs throughout the State are leading anti-litterbug campaigns in cooperation with the “Keep North Carolina Beautiful” program sponsored by the Gov ernor’s Committee for Clean High- j ways. Mrs. J. R. Bennett of Rocky j Mount, who with Mrs. Ennis j Jackson of Gastonia represents! the Garden Club of Noi;th Caro-j lina on the Clean iHghways Com mittee, said this week that over 50 clubs had sent in detailed re ports of clean-up and beautifica-j tion campaigns. With auto litterbags, posters, window stickers, and full support! of press, radio and city officials, the Garden Club women are re- j minding the public to do its part in the war against litterbugs. The results are showing up in cleaner highways, streets and parks, from coast to mountains. “This local leadership by the Garden Clubs is bringing the; clean-up campaign home to peo-^ \ Melrose RARE l *°' C “ W ” ,N ’ U eST'D I*B* 1 1 NIELROSjI 1 \ Vtoikd -rj CtOdRHURSI. o. suoorn.

"The effects of the work which the Garden Clubs are doing is evi dent in editorials, in letters and comments indicating that the pub | lie conscience is being aroused. 1 That is one of the chief objec tives of our ‘Keep North Caro lina Beautiful' campaign, and we are grateful to the Garden Clubs for helping show the way.” Almost all of the 53 garden clubs which have reported on their anti-litterbug campaigns are distributing auto-litterbags arid attractive decals bearing the mes sage “Don’t Be A Litterbug.” acc/ DENT FACTS Raleigh—What was the safest month for driving and walking last year? In a study by the State Department of Motor Ve hicles, traffic fatalities in North Carolina occurred like this in 1956: January 90, February 61, March 92, April 94, May 91, June 80, July 94, August 108, Septem ber 89, October 89, November 104, and December 116. MILK PRODUCTION RECORD According to purchases by dis tributors in North Carolina, pro ducers set a new record in Grade “A” milk sold during the first six months of 1957. Current Jan uary-June purchases of 415 mil lion pounds of Grade “A” ntilk exceeded similar purchases in 1956 by approximately 45 million pounds—an increase of a little over 12 per cent. Although pur chases during each month of 1957 were ahead of comparable months for 1956, biggest gains were re corded for January, March. April and June when increases over the purchases for the same months | last year were 16.2. 11.8, 14.5 and 11.4 per cent respectively.
