It was left at the county J borne with some belongings of J a beggar who died on the j streets here a few years ago, J and was buried at the county .j home. Mr. Lawson avows he's J never shaved with the razor/ J but believes it would do the 5 work.

H CAROLINA ; . 1 . ,i . . ' ,.i THE STATE PORT PILOT, S J Expert Answers e Farm Questions j t QUESTION: What is the t earliest date that vegetables can , be planted In the field in eastern 9 Carolina? t ANSWER: Hardy vegetables, 9 such as cabbage, collards, kale, J lettuce, mustard, onions, spinach, ) and smooth-seeded garden peas may be planted in the open as ' early as January 15 in the exi treme eastern portion. Plantings are gradually advanced by fifteen-day" intervals for the - half-hardy and" sixty-day interv> als for the tender crops. A ? general rule is to plant the half; hardy crops such as asparagus, beets, IriSh potatoes, radishes, and turnips about three or four * weeks before the date of the ; last killing frost. Warm season ' vegetables should not be planted 1 until all danger of frost is past. QUESTION: How can I bring my laying pullets, that have gone ' into a neck molt, back into * production ? . 1 ANSWER: As a usual thing, j the early hatched pullets go into a neck molt" in the late fall or early winter and, at that time 5 the consumption of mash falls off. As mash is the "eggs pro1 ducing" food it is necessary to encourage the consumption and ' often this can be accomplished " by giving the birds a wet mash ' in the early afternoon. This mash should be fed in a "V" . shaped trough and the birds given all they will consume in 1 about thirty minutes. The rest J period during the neck molt ap5 parently increases the value of the 'birds from a breeding standpoint and it might be well to J select the breeding flock from these birds. I QUESTION: What is the best . variety of lespedcza to seed for ' hay? ? ANSWER: There is very little to choose between the Kobe and " the Tennessee 76 varieties as " tests conducted in 22 different * localities' show a difference of : only 62 pounds an acre difference between the two. An experiment conducted at the Branch Experiment Station at States' ville shows a difference of only 30 pounds an acre between these two varieties. For general farm purposes the Common is the best as this variety makes good yields of hay and seed, and in pastures reseeds itself under closer grazing than any of the other varieties. It is also one of the best varieties for soil improvement.
