Advice Given On
Fertilizing The
Victory Garden
Stable or barn-lot manure is the
best garden fertilizer for use on
most soils, except where the land
is already oversupplied with or
ganic matter, which is rarely the
case. The time for applying the
manure will vary, but as a rule it
should be spread just before plow
ing. Inasmuch as the garden is
usually planted very shortly after
plowing, it is desirable that the
manure should be well rotted and
rather fine. Coarse or strawy ma
nure not only may interfere with
the cultivation of the crops, but
does not give as good results as
does thoroughly rotted manure.
Some farmers follow the practice
of first plowing the garden, then
spreading several loads of well
composted manure over the sur
face and working it into the soil
with a disk harrow.
The addition of 50 to 80 pounds
of superphosphate to each ton of
manure, either in the stable or
during the composting period, will
aid in the decomposition of the
manure and also greatly increase
its value as a fertilizer.
On farms where large flocks of
poultry are kept there is often a
considerable accumulation of poul
try manure, which may be used at
a rate not exceeding 100 pounds
for each 1,000 square feet. It
should b?ome in mind that sheep,
goat and poultry manures contain
a high percentage of nitrogen and
therefore should be used sparingly;
otherwise injury to crops may
occur.
The quantity of fertilizer to use
will drpend upon the condition of
the soil, its natural fertility, and
the crops being grown. Tomatoes
and beans, for example, do not
normally require a great amount
of fertilizer, especially nitrogen;
whereas onions, celery, lettuce, and
the root crops, and potatoes will
respond to relatively large appli
cations. A good garden fertilizer contains
6 ammonia, 7 phosphoric acid
and 5 potash. This is the regular
5-7-5 commercial fertilizer used
quite extensively in this state for
truck growing. Although, due to
war conditions, we must use the
special Victory Garden fertilizer,
which is a 5-10-5 analysis and can
be purchasid at local stores.
On the average garden soil this
should be applied at the rate of
2,000 pounds per acre broadcast.
When used in the row and thor
oughly mixed with the soil about
1000 pounds p r acre is sufficient.
Commercial fertilizers as a rule
should be applied either a few days

before planting or at the time the
crops are planted. The usual prac
tice is to plow the land and give it
its fp-t harrowing, then spread the
fertilizer from a pail or with a
fertilizer distributer, harrowing the
soil two or three times to get it in
proper condition and at the same
time mixing the fertilizer with it.
The roots of most garden crops
spread to considerable distances.
The application of fertilizer to
the entire area, therefore, will pro
vide a uniform source of food for
the plants to feed on. Care must
be taken not to place fertilizer too
near seedlings or young plants, as
burning of the roots is likely to
occur.
Most of the vegetable crops, par
ticularly the leafy type such as
lettuce, spinach, mustard, cabbage,
and the like should have a side ap
plication of nitrate of soda after
they are up and growing. In some
cases two applications may be nee.
cssary. You must keep close watch
over the crops and apply a little
nitrogen when they are not grow
ing properly. This should be ap
plied at the rate of 250 pounds per
acre or one pound per 100 feet of
row where rows are 24 inches
apart.

certain heavy soils, but its exces

My Platform
1. A County Board of Education composed of scholarly men.
Two professional men, one business man, one farmer, one minister
chosen by the four elected members and serving as chairman. Active
leadership in persuading the best men to seek this office. School
committeemen elected by the people of the townships to protect their
children. A superintendent who will keep politics out of the schools.
2. More scholarly teachers. Recognition of scholarship as the
essential qualification of a teacher. Present state policy sets training
in methods of teaching before knowledge of subjects taught. Abolition
of special colleges for teachers. Teaching is a profession, not a trade.
Only the educated can educate.
3. Recognition of the supreme value of truth as the principle
upon which education and civilization must be reconstructed. Oppo
sition to all such irreverent, anti-intellectual schemes as daylight-saving
time. When the sun says twelve, it is not one. Teaching of sci
ence as a cultural subject, aiming at the ideal of truth. Teach every
child to live by truth.
4. Active leadership in the fight to preserve America's oldest
and most beautiful tradition, the barefoot child. Mobilization of pub
lic indignation against a nation-wide, highly organized plot to exploit
America's children as a market for shoes. Every child in Haywood
County barefoot this summer.
6. Business and labor to be free and responsible. Business men
to take the lead in placing culture before business. No advertising
of children's shoes in Haywood County this summer. Street decorations
to go up December 20, to celebrate Christmas, not the Christmas trade.
Haywood merchants, act now. Choose between self-discipline and
socialism. Earn the confidence of the people, or face their anger.
Lead the nation. ACT NOW I
6. Repeal of the sales tax. Should a sales tax again become neces
sary, levy it on total monthly sales. Make the poor man tax-conscious
the honest way, by telling him the truth about indirect taxation. In
vestment of the entire surplus in War Bonds and debt reduction; no
increase in spending.
7. Let the South lead. Rebuild the Democratic party as a re
gionalist party, to protect all the rights of all sections, not ours only.
Make regionalism national! Rebuild America as a onion of states,
not a national state. Without regionalism the South can not live,
8. Let Haywood County lead, not follow. Let things begin here.

most garden crops. Most of the
garden vegetables do best on soil
that are slightly acid, and all vege
tables are injured by the applica
tion of lime in excess of their re
quirement. For this reason lime
should be applied only where it is
definitely shown by actual test to
be necessary, and in no case should
it be applied in large quantities.
As a matter of fact most garden
soils in a state of high fertility do
not require the addition of lime.
With good grainage, plenty of ma.
nure in the Boil, the moderate use
of commercial fertilizers, the grow
th requirements of nearly all vege
tables may be fully met.
Where lime is applied, it should
be spread after plowing and be
well mixed with the topsoil by har
rowing. It should not be applied
at the same time as, or mixed with
commercial fertilizers or manure,
as the chemical changes th:it take
place result in the loss of nitrogen
and thus destroy the ( ffeetiveness
of the fertilizers.

All official tire inspection stations
in the Haywood area will be gov
erned by certain regulations, out
lined below, when application is
made for replacement of any tire
for use on commercial motor ve
hicles or taxicabs.
"The critical truck tire situation
demands immediate action if we

opt rating in this area," Mr. Guy
said. The situation has become so
serious that we must make certain
that no truck tire be removed from
service if it can be repaired, re
capped or in any way kept in use
until it has delivered its last pos
sible mile."
Rules governing the operation
of the central tire station are as
follows:
(a) R-l applications must be
completely filled out by the appli
cant and signed by an OPA official
tire inspection station, showing
condition of the tire to be replaced.
(b) Official tire inspection sta
tion will take to the central truck
tire inspection station, the complet
ed R-l application form and old
tire (demounted) for which appli
cation for replacement is being
made.
(c) Re-inspection of the tire will
be made by the tire inspector of the
central truck tire inspection sta
tion and, if found to be in line for
replacement, application will be ap-
proved by endorsement.
(d) Approval OPA form It-1 ap.
plication will be forwarded directly
irom the central station to proper
board.
(e) A code is to be used by the
central station when reporting tire
conditions on application to local
board.

Only I in IOOO would know !
We
'E WERE going to make a survey.
1000 interviews. Then we had a
better idea.
"Why bother all those busy
people? Probably not more than
one of them would know the answer,
because it's something they take for
granted. . . . Let's just print it her
and save a lot of time!"
So here's the question: "What's
the smallest item and BIGGEST
bargain in most family budgets ?w
And here's the answer in one
word: "Electricity."
Look at the last item in these re
cent cost-of-living figures from th
U. S. Bureau of Li ti Soiliallsj; y.
printed at right). Considering 1 ,w
many household jobs electricity
does daily, that's a rather startling
statistic.
Then remember that electricity is
tin sold at low pre-war prices
remember that the average U, S,
family gets about twice as ranch
electricity for its money as it dil 15
years ago and you'll realize that
there's no bigger bargain today !

all this, you're pretty smart. In act,
you're that one in a thousand ! )
