THE FRANKLIN PftESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1941 PACE SIX Garden Additions -May Be Made Now Sam Mendenhall, farm agent, calls special attention to the fol- i i a w. w lowing article wsued this week by the extension department of State college: There are still many vegetables that the farm family, may plant in the home garden as late as June, according to H. R. Niswonger, ex tension horticulturist of N. C. State college. Sweel corn, field peas, New Zea land spinach, Swiss chard, lima and snap beans, okra, egg plant, squash, and cucumbers are good crops to plant. In the mountains, June is themonth to plant.. the main crop of cabbage. ij , The space between the rows of vegetables may be utilized for a secoind planning of the same vege table or. a different one if the garden area is small. June is the month to begin plan ning for the Jail garden. As' soon as the early or nud-season vege tables have been harvested and if the area occupied by these vege tables is to remain idle, the land should be cleaned of all dead plants and vines. . Next step is the broadcasting of a liberal application of stable or chicken manure and acid phos phate and then .plowing this ma terial under. After each rain the Land should be cultivated artel the grass and weeds kept down so as to have the soil in good condition for fall planting. Other, areas not occupied .should be prepared also for fall gardens. . For insect control is suggested dusting cabbage, collards, broccoli, and snap beans with one: per cent rotenone dust to kill worms and bean beetles. "Now tell me, what kind of work can you do ?"

While Franklin is experiencing & prolonged drought, two inches of rain fell in one hour at the head of one stream on the forest last week. The an nual rain fall varies from 60 inches at the lower evnd of the Forest, to 100 inches a year near Albert mountain.
