Liquid Fertilizer Gets Slow Approval In Area In spite of reported increased use of liquid fertilizer, Cherokee County farmers are not taking to the liquid in large numbers. G. H. Farley, County Farm Agent, said that three demonstra tions on application were conduct ed last season and more and planned in the season to come. Mr. Farley attributed the coun ty's slowness to use liquid ferti lizer to two causes: the extreme newness of the idea here, and the fact that TVA nitrogen is avail able to the county at a reduced cos:. However, Mr. Farley said, re sults of the demonstrations looked ! favorable and he believes more farmers will use liquid fertilizer in the seasons to come. l.iquid fertilizer is applied in various ways including seed treat ! n.< nt of small grain crops, as a transplanting solvent, as a side '? dressing and by spraying directly ' on the leaves of a growing crop. ' This last method is known as leaf ! feeding. , In most applications, the liquid ? fertilizer is applied to the plants | rather than to the soil. Scientific tests prove that plants can absorb I up to 93 per cent of the nutrient sprayed on their leaves and that these nurtlents are carried quick ly throughout the plant structure. Ease of application, convenience in storing and handling, and the ability to get a "free ride" along with applications of water-soluble weed killers are some of the ad vantages reported by growers. Farmers are familiar with sin gle-purpose sprays such as nitro gen. The availability and use of balanced solutions containing all important major elements in a 1-2-1 ratio plus powerful trace elements known to be essential to plant growth and productivity Is now winning wide-spread recogni tion among America's growers, ac cording to "NaChurs" Plant Food Company.

Girl Scouting Grows In Area The Nantahala Area Girl Scout Council received Dec. 9 the first two year Charter granted to it by the National Girl Scout Organiza tion. Charters are given to Coun cils on the basis of volume of membership, number of volunteer leaders, number of troops, and the quality of the program provided for the girls of the Area. Previously, Charters were issued to local groups on a twelve month basis but a new plan adopted at the organization's most recent na tional convention (held in Boston Mass., late in 1951), authorized the extension of the charter period to qualified councils so that they might have the advantage of e longer planning period. According to Mrs. Dan Moore, j Girl Scouting in the Nantahala Area has grown since its first charter was granted in 1947 to a current membership of 334. Stress is being placed on such activities as camping, crafts, first aid, home making, program building, and dramatics as part of the organi zation's efforts to give girls both practical and psychological skills that will help them weather the uncertainties and stresses of life in the modern world. The new charter, signed by the national president, Mrs. Roy F. Lay ton is granted in the name of the Girl Scout national board of directors. It not only authorizes the Council to promote and carry on Girl Scouting in its prescribed jurisdiction, but also entitles it to have delegates to the National Council, Girl Scouts of the U. S. A., which determines the organiza tion's policies and procedures.
