Use any good garden fertilizer at the rate of one-half gallon to one gallon per 100 feet of raw depend ing on the fertility of your eoul. If the rows are narrow the fertilizer may be drilled in on each side of tlfe row. If the rows are wide, bro adcast the fertilizer over the plants ] at a time when the leaves are dry and brush the fertilizer off of Ihe leaves. This fall application is very important for (Piedmont and mou ntain areas. In the Coastel Plain areas another similisr application should be made In December or early January. If you are growing boyeen berries or other types of dewberries, the grass should be cleared out of them and the vines straightened out on the ground so that they can be easily gathered up and tied to stakes or wires in the spring. If any new plants are desired for springplanting, throw a shovelful of soil over the tips of the vines. They will form roots and buds dur ing late fall and winter and may be cut from the vine and planted in the spring when the vines are 'ded up. Farm Water System Is Saver A carefully planned and effi cient water system can save work and speed up farm operations In addition (to adding to the comfort, safety, and convenience of form laving, says county agent, G. H. Farley. Mr. Farley points out that it is well to plan for increased consump tdxxn in estimating (the amount of water that a new or enlarged pow er system will be called upon to furnish, since experience shows that farm families uses more water when it is easily available. It has also been demonstrated that ani mals gain weight more rapidly and milk cows produce more milk when tlhey are provided with pltny of water at all times. Agricultural engineers estimate that water will be used at the fol lowing rate for each individual served: 50 ggallons a day for each member of the family; 35 gallons a day for each mJflk cow; 12 gallons for each rose, dry cow, or beef oow; four gallons for each (hog; two gallons ofr each Sheep and four gallons for each 100 chickens. All potential needs or uses should be considered in planning not only the capacity of the waiter system but the location of pipe lines. Mr. Farley says, ours of la bor each day can be eliminated by piping rather than hauling water to livestock quarters. And a Strate gically located (hose can prove in valuable for putting out fires in farm buildings.
