CROW ASPAKAGU8 TIPS
IN THE HOME ?A HUES
Kalelgh, N. C.. May 5. ? Asparugus Is
Bot well know as a .lorae garden vege
table in North Carullnu, even though
It Is possible to grow the crop easily
and successfully. The bed requires
very little attention after it has once
been started and those who have a
good sandy loam soil In the garden
spot may grow the crop to advantage.
The soil needs to be well enriched and
deeply dug however.
Specific directions for having an as
paragus bed are given by R. F. Wayne,
i extension horticulturist for the State
1 College of Agriculture, who says:
"The soil should be well manured the
previous Beason and well fertilized
when the bed Is set. After the bed Is
established, the fertilizer should be
applied after the cutting seas in. using
1,000 to 1,500 pounds per acre of a
fertilizer analyzing 2 to 4 percent
nitrogen, 6 to 8 percent phosphoric
acid, and 6 to 8 percent potash In the
form of muriate of potash.
"The best variety of asparagus Is
Martha Washington as It Is rust re
sistant. Palmetto and Argenteull are
two varieties widely grown.
"Asparagus can be propagated from
the seed, but the easiest plan Is to
buy one. year old root stocks from
some reliable seedsman. These can be
set out either In the spring or fall.
Place these root st -ks In rows 5 to
8 feet apart and 1 1-2 to 2 1-2 feet
apart in the row belne placed hori
zontally In the bottom of a 10 Inch
furrow and oovered up 2 to 3 Inches
and gradually filled in. The ground
should be cultivated from early In the
spring until cutting time. Later the
weeds should be kept down.
"The tips should not be cut until
the third season and then only for
three weeks. After this It can be cut
for the entire season, about 10 weeks.
If white tops are desired, cut the
shoots several Inches below the surf
ace of the soli when they appear
The green tips are cut just a little be.
neath the surface."
EXASITN'E YOrNG COTTON PLANTS
(By Keaton Arnett)
(For the National Boll Weevil Control
Association.)
New Orleans, La.. April 30. ? While
a thorough investigation of young cot
ton plants by farmers to determine the
proper time for pre.square poisoning
is urged it is not considered necessary
that every plant on every acre in a
field be examined. By selecting sey.
eral rows In various parts of the field
for examination It is believed that the
degree of Infestation can be dotcrmin
ed with sufficient accuracy.
However, a most minute examina.
tlon of the plants In these rows should
be made and to do this it will be neces
sary for the farmer to get down on
his knees and look over every portion
of the plant. This opratio nshould be
repeated daily until it is determined
