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. Harris, landscape special
ist of the State college extension
service, gives the following six rea-

Something New In Turnips
By BEULAH
Director, 8taltet
AN IneipenslTe suggestion for a
luncheon dish or main course
dinner recipe, Is this delicious
Stuffed Turnips Idea. And even those
'who are prone to turn from the
homely turnip, find this dish en
trancingly different.
STUFFED TURNIPS
6 medium white S tablespoons
turnips flour
Melted butter 1 cup milk
2 tablespoons 1 cups ground
butter cooked ham
I ' Salt and pepper
I Peel or scrape the turnips and cot
sons for this practice: (1) To off
set the loss of roots at transplant
ing time; (2) to increase the pfo
fusion of flowers; (3) to rejuvenate
old , and unsightly plants ; (4) to
remove diseased twigs and insect
pests; (5)' to n&ke It possible to
grow plants in restricted places and
to make growing shrubs compact;
and () to keep plants formal in
outline for formal gardens.
"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.
