It is estimated that the preliminary plantings in the district I amounted to fifty acres. While thrs acreage is small as compared to an ordinary planting of cqtton or corn, it must be considered, say experiment station workers, that it takes 65,00b bulbs to plant one acre on the Amenican plan. - The bulbs used at the station cost $1,400 and not so many of the^expensive varieties were used. Much of this planting was done three years ago when It became known that an embargo would he placed on the bulbs from Holland. Consequently, some of the growers will be ready to harvest the first crop of bulbs this summer. The bulbs are harvested about the last of June, i , are graded, and then cured. They wiil I be ready to market in September aind . should be planted at least by Octo- |1 ber to secure the best plants ana I flowers the following season. According to Fred E. Miller, In 11 charge of the branch station farms, |1 the cut flowers will return a profit j of around $300 an acre annually 11 while "the new bulbs are being grown < to maturity. This more than pays 11 , the cost of maintenance and interest |' on the investment with a small prorti | < remaining. j1 A bulb growers association is now 1i ' being organized in this region. tl IE PROPER W Clo \ The Sheep It here fthmm as it is ^ being finished. fjli-snrer, if he ^ wishes, ran drop onto his right knee, bi:t sheep's Ivnd should .rj \ be held over ailnlnst its ^ right side, and 1 .ml l? r kept % straight by pressing band in Sj^fL Hank as shown.

C., June 2.?After the roots get well fixed In the soil ana begin growing, start cultivating the tobacco plants and keep up the cultivation every ten days, leaving the row open to secure good drainage. Though the season has been unusually dry over most of North Carolina this spring and many farmers have had a hard time getting then tobacco plants set, they should not rush cultivation immediately after setting the plants, but should allow them to begin growth. "This is usually from ten days to ' two weeks after transplanting," says E. Y. Floyd, extension specialist tn tobacco at State College. "In dry weather it is more Important for the i plants to have time to get a good I root system than when the season ? I more favorable. For the first wore- i ing while the plants are small, a 1 three-toothed harrow may.be used. As 1 the plants grow, a sweep andt urn < plow had best be used. These will add the soil as needed to keep the plants making new roots. At eacn , cultivation open up the middle." ( Mr. Floyd states that it is important for best success with tobacco, to { keep this middle always open. Thts ? will take more plowings, he states, J but even if it continues to be a dry J season, the tobacco will grow be^er. ?i Then if the season is wet, this open !j middle will keep the crop from -drown- 1 ing.
