AT ROAD SIDE; I - I Offer Alert Gardener Good Opportunity to Dispose Of Surplus Produce ' Curb markets and roadside stand* offer the alert gardener an opportunity to dispose of her surplus'produce at a profit.' . '' .»• '()tlt of the prixe winner in the year round garden contest .last year paid the running expenses of her home and. reparied her car frotn money secured by-sales at the curb market,' sdys E.: B. Morrow, extehsion horticulturist at] State College. 'Mrs. A. A. Moore, of| Washington, sold regularly at thfccurb, market and twice each week made de liveries to a local hotel and coffee' ■ shop. For the lirst "time in 15 years, j ■ she wrote, her . husband did not have to borrow money to pay the expenses | ■ of producing a crop and the harvest • from the farm was dvbtMvc last fall.. • Mrs. Henry Vliddletortiff if Warsaw, another prize winner, sold $194 worth j of vegetables from a one-acre garden and fed a family of six on fresh vegc ■ tables throughout the year.' [I Mr. Morrow states that if quality . products are placed in an aattructive stifnd by the side of the road and Hie I stand advertised by neat signs, many I sales may be made this way, and a good trade developed. , This stand , should not. be a place where cast-off . material is to be disposed of, but should contain temptingly arranged fruit and vegetables fresh from the garden and orchard. Cull'out all the , misshapen and inferior specimens and , offer for sale only those that one would , like for her own use. To offer'prod- , uce of poor |uality will ruin chances for future' sales, states Mr. Morrow. Success ivith'the roadside stand, of course, depends on the travel, but those homes located near a trunk high way should soon develop a good trad*. Both the curb market and the stand have, furnished many farm women with additional income during the past few , years in North Carolina, and one or both of these methods might be used ; to advantage litis season. CONTROL LICE WITH NICOTINE 10 Pounds Nicotine Dust ' Per Acre Will Control Lice on Cotton ! Ten pouiuls per acre, ot a three per cent nicotine sulphate will control the plant lice OJI cotton. 'While ready-mixed, nicotine dust may be secured from insecticide deal ers, they can he made at home,' -says (.', 11. Brandon, extension entomologist at State ( ollege \'This can be done by adding 3 3-4 pounds, or three pints, of nicotine sulphate to 50 pounds of hydrated lime to securk a three per ] cent mixture. The lime is used as a carrier for the nicotine sulphate; and ; it must be well mixed. The nicotine I sulphate may he added, to the lime with I a convenient sprinker, and the mixture then run through a fine sieve, 20 meshes To the inch, willt the aid of a ' brush. Repeat this operation three I times, brushing all .the material thru ' the sieve so as not to lose any great | amount of the nicotine poison. The dust must be stored in a tight I metal drum if it- ist not to be used at 1 once. Where it is o hi used at once, ; it may he placed temporarily in the empty lime sacks. .It is best to use the material right after mixing, if pos sible, states Mr. Brannon. In some cases, it is possible to add the nicotine sulphate to calcium arse nate, in the same proportions as with THR ENTERPRISE line, but then the mixture must be used at once, or the cotton plants may be burned. At in the case of cal cium arsenate the nicotine dust* should be applied to the cotton on a day when the air it calm and the tern* perature is hot. • Those farmers who are equipped to dust their cotton with calcium arse nate for the of the boll weevil should be able to use this nicotine sul phate with the arsenate with excellent results, thus controlling both the plant lice and the boll weevil at one opera tion. PRIZES FOR CALF CLUB MEMBERS American Jersey Cattle To Give $3 for Each Member Owning Calf Calf club members in North Caro lina who own pure-bred registered Jerseys will have the opportunity to win some cash prizes through an of fer recently made by the American t Jersey Cattle Club, j 'This club will donate as prizes for competition, a sum equivalent to $3 for each member owning a registered Jersey calf,* says L. R. Harrell, club leader at State College. 'No award will be made where there are lets than five members in the club, and in no case will more than SSO be awarded in I ally one county, regardless of the num ber of members. In other wprds, if there are IS club members having reg istered Jersey calves ir a county, the cattle club will give $45 to be used as prizes. This money may be divid ed according to rulings of the county agent.' To obtain this prize money, an of ficial application blank mast be filled out by the local reader, vouching for the awards and must be forwarded to the. American Jersey Cattle Club at New V'ork. Each application must be signed by the local leader, and the State clul> leader before it is forwarded and the premium money will then be paid to the State club leader for proper distribution, states Mr. Harrell. Mr. Harrell says that last year only one-third of the money available to this State was used. Therefore, he urges the calf club members to take greater advantage of the opportunity this year. North Carolina has some excellent Jersey calf clubs in various counties, with Alamance County hav ing the largest club of its kind in the world. The club members in each of the counties shoulcj see that their'clubs are well organized and that steps are taken for the premium money to be secured when the calf clubs show*, or fairs arc held. Those who wish ap plication blanks may secure them from Mr. Harrell. SIDE-DRESSING COTTON URGED At Least 50 to 60 Pounds of " Nitrogen Per Acre Should Be Used At least 50 to 60 pounds of nitro gen per acre should be used on the sandy soils of the coastal plain to in sure a good cotton crop. 'Since this element leaches out of such soils very easily, it is best to make two applications of nitrogen, one at planting and one at chopping,' says E- C. Blair, extension agronomist at State College. 'An application of 800 pounds of an 8-4-4 fertiliser before planting supplies 32 pounds .of am monia. This leaves 18 to 28 pounds additional to be put on as a tide ap plication when the cotton it chopped. From 100 to 150- pounds of nitrate of i soda per acre will supply the needed | amount.' 1 . It is not *ri»e to exceed this amount in top-dresting cotton for two rea sons, states Mr. Blair. An excessive ' application will either be wasted or 1 will enlarge the stalk and delay ma turity of the crop to a dangerous de gree. On soils that are poorly drained high in organic matter, or that con tain a considerable maount of clay, less nitrogen should be applied than on i sandy soils. »■ I In the Piedmont region, care must ! be taken, states Mr. Blair, not to ap j ply too much nitrogen in proportion !to the phosphoric acid used. Other ' wise maturity will be so delayed that the cotton will be caught by frost. Where from 600 to 800 pounds of 10- 4-4 has been applied before planting, j no second application should be neces sary. But if only superphosphate (acid phosphate) was applied at planting, a late rdose of from 50 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda will give surprising ly good results. Under such conditions, Mr. Blair Your Buick dealer's high business stand ing in hie community —his solid, long-estab lished reputation for fair dealing—safe guard your used car investment when you buy from him.

C.; advises 100 pound* oo thin toils and ten on fertile soils which already con tain a supply of nitrogen. Excessive applications of nitrogenous fertilizers on such soils will result in a large growing, late maturing crop, he says.
