Raleigh, June —Clerks of the
State Elections board twight

official, of all votes cast last Sat
urday In the Democratic and
Regmblican primaries for State
wide and CongrMsional offices.
The iboard will meet Monday
to canvas the returns and to de
clare them official, unless some
sort of protest Is’’filed. As yet,
there have been no reports of il
legal voting in the primaries,
which were held under a new
elate of “reform” laws passed by
the 1939 Legislature.
. The Democratic gubernatorial
vote totaled 469,376, sllghtly.’in
excess of the 450,000 predicted
by Governor Hoey and electlQns
board officials. Only 27,750 votes
Were cast in the Republican gu
bernatorial primary.

a run-off primary has been made

gress in the Eighth.
W. Brsklne Smith of Albe
marle, runner-up In the Demo

This Month
• ON THE FARM •
State College specialists recom
mend the following good farm
practices for the month of June:
Earl Hostetler, professor of
animal husbandry, says the farm
er who grows beef cattle, sheep,
and swine gets a breathing spell
during June. The sheep and beef
cattle should ibe on pasture, and,
except for salt and water, will
need little attention. If sheep are
On permanent pasture. It will be
necessary to drench the animals
periodically to control stomach
worms. '
While the livestock man can
take it easy, R6y Dearstyne, head
of the college poultry department,
says hot weather only adds to
the problems of the poultryman.
Not only Is this true with young
birds, but the mature flock as
well. He points out that most of
the early-hatched' pullets are
ready for Vaccination against
chicken pox if this has not al
ready been done. ’Then, the poul
tryman should watch for over
crowding at this period. Other
factors in producing healthy
strong pullets are: feeding a
well-balanced diet, constructing
summer range shelters, checking
for internal parasites, and provld-
ng plenty of watering places and
shade.
Enos Blair, Extension Service
agronomist, pasees along a. lew
hints on harvesting small grain
this, month. He says the grain
should be harvested when dry and
shocks so built as to withstand
wind and “shed” rain. Much grain
ia lost each year because it was
cut when too wet or shocked im
properly.
'The second Important job, the
State College man says, is the cul
tivation of growing crops. Culti
vate com, cotton, and tobacco
steadily during this month, at
least every week or ten days. A
good rule is to cultivate as soon
as possible after each rain. The
third important job is getting soy
beans and cowipeas planted on
stubble land. To do this, Blair
suggests getting into the field
Immediately alter the grain is cut.
Plow the land well, make a good
seed bed, and put the legume
seed In the ground. Also, corn
and cotton should receive a top-
dressing of nitrate of soda this
month.
Paul Kime,' EJxperlment Station
agronomist, says if sufficient hay
crops have not been seeded, there
is still time to make good crops
of soybean, cowpea, and Sudan
grass hay if the crops are planted
during the first part of June.
Sudan grass may be seeded alone
or with the two legumes. The
grass makes an excellent hay it
cut Just as it heads.
Dr. Luther Shaw, State College
Extension Service plant patholo
gist, warns against harvesting
and sacking Irish potatoes when
the soil is wet, since the spuds {
will beat in the containers and
often rot badly. Also avoid har
vesting during mid-day If the
weather is unusually warm as I
scald and decay may result.

'A frame garden can be con-
jstructed from scrap lumber,
planks, slabs from saw mills, or
similar material,” the specialist
advised. "The sides of the gar
den should be of boards about
one foot wide, and the most con
venient size of a frame garden
is 5 feet wide and 20 to 25 feet
long. More than one garden can
be built if more space is needed.
“Stripe are nailed across the

importahee of having a conven
ient water supply so that the beds
can receive moisture they will be
robbed of by the nature of their
construction. He says that radish
es, lettuce, beets, mustard, spin
ach, carrots, Swiss chard, busji
beans, and English peas are some
of the vegetables that can be
grown in a frame garden.
“The rows of vegetables In the
frames should be 12 inches a-
part for small growing plants,
but greater spacing between rows
will be needed for English peas
and beans,” the hor iculturist
stated.
