Furniture also tells in no un- r certain terms of the care it has 1 received ? constant, thoughtless i or infrequent. ? Waxing furniture is an efficient ' and labor-saving way to beautify, protect and preserve, furniture. ' Wax enhances the beauty of the finish. It guards against wear, i moisture, stains, scratches, rings i and spots. Waxed surfaces are 1 nore sanitary because they are lard and dry. Read over direc-1 ions on the wax bottle or can be- j ore you apply wax to furniture. * State College Answer* Timely Farm Questions | Q.

JPutss you in the Biff Time ?for only $2459 ? ? ? i i Why hold back from the fun and thrill and pride of bossing a Buick ? when you can boss such a 1> i and strapping beautv for the price of a smaller car?

This Week With Macon | N I.ai County Agents i Assistant County Aser.t Macon County produced Irish , potatoes on 282 acres with a total yield of 33.495 bushels for an aver- ti age of about 120 bushels per acre o in 1954. n Five years earlier, ir. 19+9 Ma- S con County was growing 510 acres si of potatoes for a total yield of 1< 44,882 bushels with an average of 88 bushels per acre. The state'?] average for 1949 was about 150 p bushels per acre. The 1956 outlook calls for about the same acreage and same price g as during 1955 on early potatoes. Late potatoes may show a slight j increase in price. f] Through improved practices it is believed the yield of potatoes could be increased 5 0-1 00 <; more than last year's yield of 120 bush- e els per acre. A 50'< Increase would i* bring the yield to 180 bushels and 100% increase would mean 240 1 c bushels per acre. If we need 8 100 bushels of Irish potatoes, let ! us try to grow them on one-half ; ? (0.5) an acre instead of one acre1 and make use of the other land f for something else and save time ? in land preparation, cultivation, r and harvesting and material and c labor in dusting. North Carolina and Georgia ex perts in potato production list l some pointers to improve the t quality and quantity of Irish po- i tatoes. _ 1 I.

Use large size seed pieces j | with at least one good eye Cut | | the potatoes lengthwise to -secure I pieces l',i to 2 ounces in size, (about hen-egg sizei. 3. Space in rows 3-3 1 ^ feet apait and 10-12 inches in the drill This will require 1000-1200 pounds of j potatoes per acre. To cut down on ' the number of jumbo potatoes it ; might be more desirable to -pace I Kennebec and Sequoia closer at about eight inches apart. 4. Fertilize according to soil test recommendations.
