18K THT HOTBED AWD HATS IK
EARLY tiABDKH
| Raleigh, Ju. 3. ? "The climate of
North Carolina makes it possible to
have an all-rear garden In most sec
tions of the stats- To secure the most
satisfactory results, however, free use
must be made of hotDeda and cold
frames," says Robert Schmidt, assist
ant Horticulturist for the State Col
lege and Department of Agriculture.
"January la the month for prepar
ing hotbeds. They should be located
.In a sheltered place with a southern
exposure where they will be protect
ed from north and west winds, and
will receive the maximum amount of
sunlight. The frames should be han
dy to both the bouse and garden so
that they can be given constant at
tention. The soil In and about the
frames should be well drained.
"A hotbed 6 feet by 6 feet In size
will be large enough for the average
garden and can be constructed rather
.cheaply. Standard glass hotbed sash
| are 3 feet by 6 feet and can be bought
or made at home.
"Fresh stable manure will furnish
sufficient heat. The manure should
be turned two or three times before
placing in the bed, In order to make it
uniform In composition and mechani
cal condition. An excavation about 18
inches deep Is made for the bed and
about 15 Inches of fresh manure j>lac
ed In It and wail packed. Then a
wooden frame Is built over the ma
nure about twelve or fourteen Inches
high on the north side with the south
side about four Inches lower to give
sufficient slope to the sash. Four or
five Inches of good garden loam Is
placed on top of the manure and the
frame is covered with the glass sash
or sometimes with heavy canvass or
muslin. The manure will heat rapid
ly for the first few days and the beds
must be ventilated frequently. The
seeds must not be planted until the
temperature has gone down to 80 or
85 degrees F. After planting close
attention should be given to the wa
tering and ventilation of the bed. Mois
ture Is necessary for germination and
growth but an excess of moisture must
be avoided as It is apt to cause damp
Ing-off.
"The cold frame Is constructed in
mneh the same way except that no
manure is used for heating purposes.
It Is used to harden off plants grown
in hot beds and also to grow certain
cool season crops to maturity when
some protection is needed on cold
nights. Heavy muslin or canvass is
commonly used as a cover for cold
frames."

"" "OUK IDEAL ~MAN"
The following: poem was handed the
editor of the FRANKLIN JIMES for
publication, dedicated to tie men of
Franklin County:
Backward, turn backward, O Time
In thy Sight.
Give us a man with shoes not so tight;
With toes made for pencils if one
wished to write.
Give us the man with a coat that just
fits
Minus fancy pinch backs and up-the
back splits.
Oh give us a man who la liberal with
? 1.
Who can talk for an hour a,aq not men
tion himself. '
Oh, give us the man though his shirts
like a rag,
Yet does not resemble a Bolshevik
flag.
Yes give us a man with a tie not so
loud.
That he looks like a comic as he walkB
through the crowd.
0)|, give us the man who's Impartial
to drink,
Who don't use "hooch" whiskey to
muddle his think.
Yes, give us the man with untainted
breath,
Minus filthy tobacco which brings on
bis death.
Pray give us the man no matter what
age;
Who would submit his past unasham
ed to the stage.
Yes give us the man who can act a
man's part,
The man long departed with honor
and heart.
Oh, where Is the honor which men
once did boast?
It expired with knighthood and left
not It ghost.
Oh, send us a man who will women
protect.
And not stare at them to And some
defect.
In their dress, ways, or manners so
he may jeer
The down-trodden sex with some cruel
sneer.
Olve us the man wherever be roam*,
Who can think of his mother and sis
ters at home.
And when he would sneer at some
wayward defect
He remembers all women are sister*
in sex.
Olve us the man without a defect
Yet can see the mistakes of his own
wayward sex;
And remedy them and there'll be few
er groans
About how women dress abroad and
at home.
Yea backward turn backward, O Time
If you can.
Efface all these blackguards and send
us ? a man.

THE HOME PAJPEB IN YEBSE
Today, so far as. appearance goes,
the chief difference between the coun
try paper and the city paper is in size.
The country paper, being in the main
a local paper, does not n^ed the space
that the city dally requires for its gen
eral news and features. But today
the country papers make ubc of many
of the same typographical devices
and pictures that the city paper uses.
This word is needed to introduce a
line little poem by an unknown writ
er, who speaks of the older type of
country weekly which too often was
poorly printed and edited:
'Tisn't filled with cutB and pictures nor
the latest news dispatches;
And the paper's often dampened and
the print Is sometimes blurred.
There Is only one edition, and the
eye's glance often catches I
Traces of a missing letter, or at times
a misspelled word.
No cablegram or special anywhere the
eye engages;
The makeup is perhapff a trifle crude
and primitive.
But an atmosphere of home life fills
and permeates the pages
Of the little country paper, printed
where you used to live. ,
How the heart grows soft and tender
while Its columns you're perusing,
Every Item is tamlllar, every name
you know full well.
And a flood of recollection passes o'er
you while you're musing
On the past, and weaves about you an
Imaginative spell.
You can see the old home village once
again In fancy, seeming
To be clasping h$nd of neighbor, and
of friend and relative;
And their faces rise before you as
' you're Idly, fondly dreaming
O'er the little country paper printed
where you used to live.
There are now fifteen creameries In
operation in North Carolina. In 1920
only 989,713 pounds of butter was
manufactured; in 1921 this amount
had grown to 1,345,628 pounds, In 1922
a total of 1,530,994 pounds was manu
factured. This Agricultural activity
has been promoted and fostered by
the dairy extension specialists of the
State College and Department of Ag
riculture.
