Tomato plants are being offered lor sale and I give this word of cauUoa about planting too early. The tomato is a warm soaion crop. The roots will not be happy la a cold wet soil nor will the tops thrive in chilling air temperatures. Wait until danger of frost Is over In your locality. Even If plants are protected, they may become stunt ed by unfavorable environmental conditions and you may be disap pointed with plant performance. Strawberry plants can be set now in the eastern half of the state but wait a while in the mountains. Spring set plants should not be per mitted to bear in 1959. Some blos soms may form but they should be promptly pinched off. Keep the plants growing vigorously this growing season and they will be ready foi maximum yield in 1960 Take care when setting plants. The crowns should be even with the soil surface with no roots ex posed. After the plants becomes es tablished in the soil and begin growth, fertilize with two quarts of an 8-8-8 fertilizer per 100 feet of row. Apply the plant food in shallow bands (furrows) on both sides of the row. Keep watered and free of weeds. How often should jonquils be lift ed and divided? Once every three years should tx enough to give good flowers. Some like to lift every year. Fertilizer after bloom ing so that food reserves can be stored in the bulbs for flowers next year. It is usually best to plant fresh tulip bulbs each year if you want large, showy flowers. Plants may be permitted to flower a second year with good results but this is abcut the practical limit. If saved for three years, you can expect a sharp increase in the number of plants with a corresponding de crease in the number and size of flowers. Prune your early flowering shrubs after the season of bloom has passed. Fertilize the lawn with about twenty pounds of 8-8-8 iertilizer per 1.000 square feet, if this has not already been done. Keep a sharp look-out for insect and disease pests. C&& HavMvlIIe In "^7 Serves ' ^ Oa Attack Carrier Navy Chief WirrW Officer Gar den H. Crawford, sea o# Mr*.

(1) Carpet is the general designation of fabric for soft floor covering, especially that used for the entire floor and fasten ed to it? for example, wall-to-wall carpet, stair carpet, hall carpet. <2> Rug is the term used to desig nate soft floor coverings laid on the floor, but not fastened. 4o it. As a rule, it does not cover the entire floor. Rugs are available plain or patterned in practically any size. Broadloam? a designation of width, not a special construction or style. It means seamless carpet of any weave produced on broad looms, from 6 to 18 feet wide. It is used for wide tufted carpet. The term is applied to plain colors and patterns. Domestic? describes carpet made by skilled craftsmen in the United States. Jute is a vegetable fiber imported from India. It is heavy and tough and makes substantial backing for carpets. Kraft Cord? a tough yarn made from wood pulp. It is used in weav ing the backing of some carpets. Loom ? the machine. threaded with carpet yarns, on which carpet is woven. Pile is the tufts of yarn that stand erect from the base of the carpet and form the surface. The ends may be cut or looped. Wearing quality is unaffected by cutting the pile. Crush resistance of pile is a most desirable characteristic. It depends upon the type and grade of the fib ers used, the weight of the yarns, and the thickness of carpet construc tion. Texture refers to the surface of carpet. Unique textures may be created by sculpturing, by varying lengths of pile, by cut and uncut combination with straight yarns. COMMISSIONER OF BANKS ?

J 11 1YA To Start Filling Reserviors The annual spring filling of main stream TV A reservoirs is scheduled to start this week in all but two impoundments, TV A said recently. Filling started about two weeks ago in Wheeler and Pickwick re servoirs Under normal conditions, the re servoirs will be filled to the fol lowing elevations by about April IS: Fort Loudoun, elevation 813 'feet above sea level); Watts Bar, el. 741; Chickamauga el. 682.5; Hales Bar. el. 634; Guntersville, el. 595; Wheeler el. 556; and Wil son el. 507.5. Pickwick reservoir is scheduled to reach el. 414 by April 7, and Kentucky, el. 3S9 by May 1. "Weather plays an important part in this operation." Reed El liott, Chief Water Control Planning Engineer said, "since heavy rains might interrupt the filling schedule temporarily or dry weather might delay the completion of filling in some reservoirs. "An extended period of below normal rainfall and runoff for the Vailey, which started last Septem ber, has resulted in most of the tributary storage reservoirs being below usual levels for this time of year. Heavy generation is being carried at steam plants to lessen water use to aid in filling these reservoirs." Sixty-three persons died from ac cidental drownings in TVA during 1958 while using the lakes for re creation TVA said. This brought the total number of such drown ings to 917 since the lakes were impounded. Each year TVA publishes a re port on such drownings. Facts as to the number, location, and causes of drownings are presented to en courage greater safety in boating, fishing, swimming, and other wat er recreation activities During the past several years the number of accidenttal re creational drownings has remained fairly constant. The 1958 figure was two less than 1957, but was the same as 1958. More than half of the 63 victims last year were boating or fishing from boats. Failure to wear a life preserver, inexperience or unsafe operation of the boat, and standing in the boat at the time of the acci dent were prime causes for the tragedies. EiclUecn were swimm ing when they met their death, one was skiing, six were wading or j playing in the water or fell in and I circumstances are unknown in three I cases. Only seven of the 63 were females. Farm Questions Transportation costs amount to about 12 per cent of the total mar keting bill for food commodities, ac cording to USDA. At present there are about $42.5 billion worth of savings bonds out standing in this country. The minimum support rate for North Carolina wheat in 1959 will be $2 per bushel. Fertilizer can be either acid or neutral. f I Makes Fun Of Music With Hot Water Bottles, Anvils, Guns And Pictures . Thirteen email, fat boyx lined up <a?tage at London'* Boyal Festival Hall and huffed, puffed and blew themadve* red In thf face trying to sound the perfect note A on the watering can. They were auditioning tor a solo part in the Hoffnung Inter-Plane tary Music Festival, the craziest, noisiest music festival ever, which Americans may soon have a chance to see and bear. Its organizers are hoping for an attractive offer to ship the festival to the States, watering cans and all. But watering cans are the least of the weird objects from which Gerard Hoffnung, 33-year-old car toonist and musician, has managed to wring music. There are Road Rammers, espresso coffee machines, fog horns and repeating rifles, for example. All have been featured at Hoffnung concerts. There have been overtures for vacuum cleaners and orchestra, concertos for garden hose and strings, and a performance of Hay dn's Surprise Symphony with such additional surprises as eight musi cians blowing down the necks of partly - filled hot water bottles. Some of Britain's best-known composers ? Malcolm Arnold. Ra cine Fricker and Humphrey Searle ?have contributed to Hoffnung's musical jckes, and even America's Aaron Copeland has joined in the fun by sending along a "burlesque" for the latest music festival. But Hoffnung feels there is room for a "serious" composer of hum orous music ? a Beethoven of buf foonery, a Mozart in baggy trousers, or a Wagner wielding an air blad der in place of a baton. Hoffnung himself was widely hailed as a clown after his recent performance as soloist in "Concerto for Conductor and Orchestra," in which he fought a baton duel with a temperamental pianist. Hoffnung denies that his main object in life is to take the mickey out of music. "My whole life is music," he claims. "I love music to the point where it cats me." And as proof he cites his career as a serious or chestral musician. Indeed. Hoffnung has pl.iyed near ly every instrument under the sun, and several that arc not commonly seen in daylight, including the con traluiss serpent (' the only one in captivity." ho boasts*. It was while playing bass tuba with the Morley College Orchestra, of which he is vice president, that Hoffnung conceived the series of drawings that were put between book covers as "The Maestro", and that have since sold over 250.000 copies. "The Maestro," was fol lowed by four more books of cari catures, all of them best-sellers. Now Hoffnung is dedicated to es tablishing the symphonic caricature as an accepted art form. "And why not?" he asks. "After all. the draw ings of Daumier and Steinberg are now hung in the world's great art galleries. Why shouldn't the musical caricaturist find a place on the con cert program?" Climax of the 1958 festival was an opus titled "Let's Fake an Op era, which brilliantly combined elements of most of the world's famous operas. Cigarette girls from "Cannes" mingled onstage with the Master singers of Nuremburg, while eight Valkyries on scooters were chased by a dragon in carpet slippers. Will the music festivals become annual events? Hoffnung doesn't know. "We worked for eight months preparing this last festival, and we have had the collaboration of over 300 performers. Really funny ideas don't grow on trees. You have to accumulate them." County ASC News By L. L. KISSELBURG Raleigh? In contrast to the several programs operated by ASC in North Carolina which tend to reduce pro duction of certain commodities, ASC operates a program which was designed specifically to increase increase the production of wool. E. W. A vent, ASC Program specialist, explained that wool is an essential and strategic commondity which is not produced in sufficient quantity in the United States. For this reason he said Congress passed the Wool Act of 1954 which directed the Sec retary of Agriculture to provide an incentive program which would en courage an annual production of 300 million pounds of shorn wool. Under this program for 1958 and 1959, the incentive price has been set at 62 cents per pound for shorn wool. Under the program farmers market their wool through the nor mal channels obtaining the best pos sible price for their production. At the end of the marketing year, the Department of Agriculture deter mines the average national price obtained by all wool growers in the state for their wool. The percentage required to bring this national price up to the 62 cent incentive level is determined and all farmers who marketed wool received this per centage increase in their income from wool sold. Accordin to Mr. Avent, every year this program has been in effect it has served its purpose by increasing the national production of wool to the point where payments made by ASC have been declining every year. He further explained that should the national average pricc received by wool producers Ihrnuehout the na tion during 1959 reach the 62 cent level then payments will no longer be necessary. Mr. Avent cautioncd farmers that April 30. 1959 is the final date by which they may file application for incentive payment for wool market ed in the 1958 marketing year. The 1958 wool marketing year runs from April 1, 1958 through March 31, 1959. FARMING TIPS Almost 75 per cent of all hogs marketed in North Carolina are pro duced in the Coastal Plain. A USDA economist predicts that by 1975 the average investment per commercial farm will be $80,000. 1 Listen To The OL' TIME PREACHING and SINGING 9-930 A. M. EACH SUNDAY WKRK * \ REV.

CEO WELL In any one ye?r you cm safely predict that about a third of the driven involved la fatal traffic inrn^ 'T* on Tar Heeei roads had been drinking." There U a legal difference bet ween "had been drinking" and "under the influence." Police will tell you its a man sized job to convince juries in either case. Which suggests this question: When is a driver with an obvkws snoot full legally eligible for the lockup? Medical authorities, among others, maintain the dividing line is fixed when a concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream reaches f if teen hundred ths of one per cent. Any concentration under is sus pect; any higher would be consider ed prima facie evidence of intox ication. according to medical re searchers. But a highway patrolman is not a doctor. In court he can testify only that the defendant was incoh erent drove eraticaliy. staggered, etc. Scientifically, the person ch arged might have been plastered. But lacking scientific proof chanc- 1 es are he would be sprung. Authorities say that slightly more than two ounces of 100-proof liqu or on an empty stomach puts one in the .05 per cent classification, or well below the dividing line. Still even this amount can hamper his driving. He will probably be ob served by officers. On the other hand studies have shown some who do not stagger nor talk thickly until the blood alcohol concentration reaches .25 or above. (For comparison .95 is at the threshold of death.) Such persons "hold" their liquor well; they are able to "compensate. But their judgment ? the most important factor in driving? is ter ribly distorted. Their reaction time is slowed to the point of mak ing them extraordinarily danger ous on the roads. What some consider an insignif icant amount of alcohol can im pair vision, reduce muscular ef [ ficiency and slow down normal | reactions. I Highway Patrol Major C. A. Speed, who is somewhat of an au thority on the drinking-driver prob lem, says three-and-a-half ounrcs (admittedly a pretty potent sluK> will slow reaction time 34 per cent. Assuming a speed of 40 miles an hour, down this shot, and the re sultant lag in reaction time, would add some 15 feet to the distance reqoired by the average driver for a safe stop. I? Alcohol produces another effect which la probably the greatest haz ard of all. It gives the driver a false sense of confidence in his | own abilities which even sober may be inadequate. It lures him into taking chancei he wouldn't dream of otherwise. He forgets or minimises the rules governing traffic. Or If be does remember them, he applies them erratically, often at the wrong time and place. There Is nothing a drinking per son can do to compensate for the lowering of his driving skill! Hot coffee won't restore alert ness nor speed up imbibers re turn to normal. Neither will ex erctoe, fresh air, nor any of the favorite "sobering up" techniques practiced by drinkers. Only time will turn the trick. That's why state troopers regard the drinking driver as one of the most serious menaces in traffic. They arrested more than 7000 last year. You may still have a "couple of drinks," or even a half-dozen or more, provided all goes well on the highway afterward. Bat bear Major Speed. "A driver whose blood-alcohol la asuuhsM above the .18 line baa Inrressart his chances of having an atcidft 55 times." A number ot other states have stiffened drunk driving laws la re cent years.
