Three States in One The diversity of soils and crops from the mountains to the oceans affords the state thu golden op portunity of a well-balanced agri culture and at the same time poses numerous problems of pro duction, marketing and process ing that require the best in genuity of research, teaching and extension. Essentially, North Carolina is three States in one. The Coastal plains with its sandy soils producing tobacco, cotton, peanuts, soybeans, corn, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, small fruits and vegetables, hogs artd v ?' he 1'iedmont with its rolling clay lands producing to uavu, cotton, corn, small grains, lespedeza hay, dairy caittle, poul try, fruits and sweet potatoes? the mountains with its fertile valleys and mountainsides, pro ducing com lay, fruits, -eget ables, potatoes, beef and dairy cattle, sheep and poultry?to gether they make a highly diver-, sified North Carolina. Such a diversification requires the ser vices of many specialists in the Agricultural Extension Divison of State College and it is the pur pose of the Agricultural Foun dation, Inc., to make it possible to bring to North Carolina the best specialists in each branch of agriculture. Lime is badly needed on most farm and pasture lands in North Carolina. ?2?IMPORTANT?2? LAND SALES In Graham, N. C. ?AT AUCTION? SATURDAY. APRIL 21st, 1945 FIRST SALE, At 3:00 p. m.

Your Swiss chard leaves most tender and the stems at their crispest? Every vegetable in the Victory Garden has best stages for eating, before and after which their goodness is considerably leas than one hundred per cent Snap beans should be picked before'1 the seeds inside the pods have formed. If some of them get past that stage before you can use them, let the beans grow to full size and use them as green shells. Peas should be picked when the pods are plump and bright green. When pea pods are somewhat wrinkled and show streaks of white, the peas are too old for enjoyable eating. Cut die outer leaves of Swiss chard when they are no more than ten or twelve indies long. Let the inner one* continue to grow, always cutting before they are grown to full size. Be sure to cut sprouting broccoli while the buds are green and tightly closed. When they open and begin to show a hint of yellow, they have lost their fresh new goodness. Cauliflow er, cousin to sprouting broccoli, should have heads that are firm and creamy whit*. Spongy looking heads ate past: their prime. Too young sweet corn has neither flavor nor substance; too old, it is mealy and usually tough. It's exactly, right whan ears are well filled and kernels spurt milky Juice at the prick of a thumh well Cut kohl rabi bulbs when between one and three inches in diameter. Larger than that they are likely to be tough as shoe leather. Turnips are best at medium size, rutabagas when fully grown under cool moist coo-i ditlons. Let parsnips and salsify or vegetable; oyiter stay in die ground until late; fall. Then the roots should be fully, developed. Some of them can be dug for winter use, but plan to leave at least part of the crop in the ground over winter. Dig them in early spring for flavor unsurpassed. k ill 1/ IS ONE OF THE lyilLlX FIRST THINGS OUR BOYS ASK FOR WHEN THEY RETURN ....
