horse wagon loads should be used to
the acre. One load, therefore, would
cover a space approximately 50 by
100 feet. Be sure that the manure is
well rotted before applying. Where
it is desirable to use a combination
of manure and superphosphate for the
garden soil the ten loads of manure
should be supplemented with from
two to three bags of superphosphate.
Miss Ruth Current, District Home
Demonstration Agent, was in Hay
wood county April 15 and 16, and con
ducted recreational periods for the
Dellwood and Beaverdam Home Dem
onstration Clubs. More than 30 peo
ple enjoyed each meeting.
The Dellwood meeting was held
Wednesday evening at the school
house in conjunction with a health
program by the health department.
The whole community was welcome
to the program, and invited to join in
the games and singing, etc. At the
close of the evening Miss Current
was invited to come back at her ear
liest convenience. Ice cream and cook
ies were served.
The Beaverdam club invited the hus
bands of the members and Miss Cur
rent and the Home Demonstration
Aeent to supper at the school house
on Thursday evening. The game and
singing followed a short talk by Miss
Current, and were entered into by
everyone in the group.
The Fall and Winter Garden con
teat closed on March 31, and entries
in the state finals are now in the
Raleigh office. All of the Haywood
county entries are entered in the
state contest.
Rules of the contest specified that
county prizes would be awarded in
no county in which less than ten re
cords and stories were submitted for
judging. In Haywood and Swain,
however, only nine entries were com
pleted. This means that no county
prizes are available. The records and
stories were judged, however, on the
efficiency of the garden for the needs
of the family, the space of ground
used, and the intensity of cultiva
tion; the story for the interest of
the family in the project and the un
usual practices it disclosed. It is in
teresting to note that one woman
served at least one fresh vegetable
from her garden every month during
the period from Oct. 1 to March 31.
The contestants ranking in Hay
wood county were: Mrs. Harley Reno,
Beaverdam Club, 1st. Mrs. Frank
Henry, Dellwood Club, 2nd.
Each record submitted in these
two counties is eligible to compete
individually for the state prizes which
are $20, $ 12.50, $7.50, and $5, and have
already been sent to Raleigh for that
purpose.

Question: Is it advisable to force
molt pullet3 to De held over for
layers.
Answer: It is well known that late
molters are the high producing birds
in the flock and these birds are usu
ally in fairly heavy lay during the
summer months when egg prices are
relatively high. Where the molt is
exceptionally late, it is difficult to
secure suitable eggs for early hatch
ing the next year. An early forced
molt therefore would bring the birds
back into lay in early autumn, but
would react to the disadvantage of
the breeder doing trap nest work.
Quest n I How much manure
should be applied to the home garden
