Don’t neglect your house
; plants during the summer
months because they provide
so much color and pleasure
to family living during the
wintertime.
If you have rooted cuttings
to pot try this mixture: 3
parts of good loam soil; 2
parts of peat moss, and I part
of coarse sand, all of these by
volume. To this mixture add
1 cupful of 20 per cent sup
er-phosphate to each bushel
of prepared soil. Bone meal
may be substituted for the
superphosphate.
I suggested peat moss be
cause it is readily available
and a good clean source of
organic matter. You may
substitute leaf mold or well
decomposed compost for the
peat.
If the garden loam is
heavy of clay-like, you should
use two parts of sand. If the
garden loam is light or sandy,
the sand may be omitted. If
a good soil mixture is used
at potting time, the plants
usually do not need fertilizer
for two or three months.
However, well established
and actively growing plants
may need a small amount of
fertilizer every five or six
weeks. Do not fertilize rest
ing plants.
: The best method to apply
fertilizer to house plants is in
liquid form. If a soluble
fertilizer is used be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s in
struction. If a dry garden
type fertilizer is used, such
as an 8-8-8, dissolve one tea
spoonful in one quart of
warm water. Stir well and
let stand over night before 1
applying. Use enough of the '
solution around each estab
lished plant to wet the soil
well.
If some of your plants .
have outgrown the container J
and have become root (pot)
bound, repot in a larger con- i
tainer using the same mix- j
ture as suggested at the be
ginning.

“Believe you can—and you can!”
These are very difficult words to believe when the
future looks impossible. How unbelievable they may
appear—they are true.
The man who held the record for running a mile—
held it for 37 years. "He is the fastest man alive,”
everyone said. One day a young man by the name of
Roger Bannister broke the record. He cut almost 11
seconds off the record, and ran the mile in four minutes
flat. Why? Because he believed he could. Even Ban
nister’s record has been broken—and it will continue to
be broken, because there is always someone who be
lieves he can do it!
Thiis is true in most every facet of life. Believe in
yourself, your family, your .friend and you will see
the records broken through ycur faith.

outdoor conditions. They may
be grown on porches, ter
races or in the garden bord
er. This would not apply to
such plants as African vio
lets.
A great many planrtts can
be carried through the sum
mer by placing the pots in
soil up to the rims. A layer
of gravel at the base of each
pot will assure good drain
age.
If you do put plants out
side, be sure to give con
sideration to the light re
quirements. If you are not
sure about this, I would sug
gest partial shade for most of
them.
Plant glad corms every
two weeks for a succession of
flowers. Better not plant in
the mountains after July 15.
Be on guard for lacebugs
on azalea, pyracantha and
rhododendron. Spray with
malathion, being sure to cov
er the undersides of the
leaves.
Keep your roses protected
at all times by spraying
every two weeks with a com
bination fungicide and insec

GOP Candidate
Supports Wood
i IR. Frank Everett, Repub
lican candidate for Congress,
said today, “Eastern North
Carolina and the First Con
gressional District in par
ticular have been denied for
. too long the main highways
that they so desperately
need.”
Everett in referring to an
article published in the News
and Observer Monday in
which Senator George Wood,
a Democrat, attacked the
State Highway Commission’s
read policies, agreed with
Senator Wood that the people
of this district are tired of
the “empty promises” of bet
ter highways,
Everett further stated that
“the candidates for state of
fices keep promising better
reads to our people in order
to gain their votes and then
turn around and “sell out”
these roads to their friends in
the Piedmont area of the
state, “where there is a two
party system.”
Everett said “if the people
in the First District would
take a look at the areas in
North Carolina that have the
super highways and good
two lane roads, they will see
an effective two-party system
at work.”
Everett said “I have noth
ing but admiration for Sen
ator Wood, who has showed
the courage to speak out
against the treatment that
Eastern North Carolina gets
from the Democratic controll
ed state government.”
CHOWAN FARMS
AROUND .
By R. M. THOMPSON
County Extension Chairman
After the showers that we
experienced over the week
end, it becomes necessary for
you to get a good peanut
leafspot control program.
There has been leafspot in
Chowan already. The best
way to control leafspot is to
start the dusting or spraying
program before the disease
appears. This means an early
start and, of course, an insec
ticide. Sevin should be ap
plied at the same time.
Last year leafspot was a
real problem and this was
due for many different reas
ons. Rotation, weather, etc.,
helps to make leafspot worse
and the shedding of leaves
can cause Southern stem rot
or other diseases. For these
reasons we urge you to begin
j your program early.
! SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
J Continued from Page 6
I Son will be the only light
j needed. There will likewise
be no seas, for seas separate
both people and nations. In
Revelation, all are pictured as
one vast, close-knit commun
ity, joined together and sus
tained in Christian grace.
Fear, pain, . terror and
death all these things are
exorcised by Christian hope.
HOPE, not “hoping.” There
is a difference. “Hoping” im
plies wishful thinking, in
terms of the corporeal; HOPE
—a definite statement—(espe
cially when preceded by the
word “Christian”) implies the
certainty enjoyed by those
redeemed by faith in Christ.
How grateful we are to the
writer of Revelations.
There eventually comes a
time when anybody gets tired
of work.
