A THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1939 CO-OP DIVIDES Patronage Coupons To Be Given 800 Customers By Federation ' ASHEVILLE, March 15. More than 800 people who did business with the Farmers Federation last year will share in a three per cent patronage dividend, declared by the executive committee of the coopera tive's board of directors, according to an announcement bytJaqe,s G. K McClure, federation president. The dividend is payable in stock shares or credit' toward stock to all those wfio turned in 1938 patronage coupons before March 1. This dis tribution, Mr. McClure explained, is in addition to the regular semi annual dividends of three' per cent in cash to all stockholders. . Evidences of stock credits will be mailed those who qualified for 1938 patronage dividends as soon as the federation's central office .staff in Asheville can complete the nec essary clerical work. . This is the third consecutive year that the Farmers Federation has declared a patronage dividend. Last year it was at the rate of three per cent and the year before two and a half per cent. This, distribution was voted at a meeting of the executive committee in Asheville on Tuesday, March 7.. The committee also set Saturday, March 25, as the date for the an nual meeting of stockholders in Asheville. Discussing the patronage dividend declaration, Mr: McClure said: "This is our way the cooperative way of returning to those who trade with the federation a share in the profits of the business. This year a number of patrons will re ceive fully paid shares, of stock with a' par value of $10. At least one individual will get as much as $25 in stock. Patronage coupons are. issued on the basis of cash business done with the federation to stock holders and non-stockholders alike. Through , this means many, persons unable to buy stock outright have acquired .shares in business." Six Reasons Given For Pruning Shrubs Pruning of shrubs is a common practice ; with -better gardeners. Many realize that it is the thing to do, and probably know funda mentally how to do it, but generally the reasons for pruning shrubs are not known. ; John H.

"Before undertaking to prune a shrub, it should be remembered that they should be cut tJ conform to their natural shape, and not to make a horizontal plant out of a pyrar midal one," Harris stated. If evergreens must be used in restricted places, or if they have a tendency to become too open, they should be pruned at frequent inter vals, during the growing season. Many flowering shrubs and ever greens 'require little, if 'any, prun ning, especially where they are used in borders and allowed to de velop naturally. The only pruning they will require, if any, is perhaps an annual thinning out. Shrubs such as Forsythia, Spireas. and Weigelas that form their flowering buds the previous year and bloom , in the early spring should be pruned im mediately after flowering. Those shrubs that form their flowering buds during the current season and bloom during the .summer and fall, such as Crepemyrtle and Hydran gea, should be pruned about this time of the year. . Harris offered to supply detauea information on pruning shrubs and trees to any person who will ad dress a request to him at State College, Raleigh.

State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. When should crotalaria be seeded for soil improvement? A. The best time to plant U from April 1 to May 15. The seed should be scarified to insure quick germination. From 15 to 20 pounds of seed are used to the acre when broadcast and eight to 10 pounds when seeded in three-foot rows and cultivated. The latter method gives the largest growth. It .will pay to fertilize the crop using 400 pounds of a 4-8-4 mixture to the acre with the fertilizer applied to the follow ing crop decreased in a similar amount. The crop is especially good on- very light sands and will make about three times as much growth as will soybeans or cowpeas on similar soils. Q. What can I do about naked back chickens in my flock of young chickens? A. This trait is usually inherited and all young birds showing such a trait, should be eliminated. Only those birds showing a tendency for fast feathering should be used for breeding purposes and the other birds culled from, the flock as quickly as possible. To get rid of the inherited trait may take two or three years of close culling and the work should be started as soon as possible. Mark the birds that feather out early and use theSe in the breeding flock. PIG CHAIN The Hampshire pig chain spon sored by the Onslow County Ki wanis club continues to grow, says J. Y. Lassiter, assistant agent. Three boys were given pigs in 1937 and returned two gilts each. These pigs have beendlstributed to seven 4-H club boys for this year and the agent has four more pigs for dis tribution. Every. Onslow 4-H boy who wants to raise pure4bred hogs will eventually get a pig,, the agent says. More than 94,000 growers in the eight principal spring wheat states have filed applications for "all- risk" crop insurance policies on their 1939 harvests.
