Enough for a family of five with a surplus for canning may be had by following this schedule: Radishes and parsley, SO feet of row; Blocmsdale spinach, 100 feet; garden peas, 400 fe4t; beets, 200 feet; carrots, 200 feet; onion sets, 100 feet; and Irish potatoes, 400 feet. Strawberries, dewber ries, raspberries, grapes, and fruit trees may also be set out ay late as March. Question: Is it possible at this time to treat small grain so as to improve yields at he coming harvest? Answer: W. R. Rankin, N. C. State College Experiment Station agronomist, says it’s hardly pos sible to overcome poor manage ! ment practices at seeding time, | but supplemental treatments in j the form of top dressings will 1 aid in improving yields. Top ‘ dressings are recommended fool small grain on all soils and cori-! i ditions where the supply of ni-.l trogen is relatively low and veg etative growth inadequate for the production of at least 20 to 25 bushels of wheat and 40 to 45 bushels of oats. An application | of nitrate of soda should pay w ell. Question: What is the best method cf planting kudzu? Answer: Technicians of the 1 Soil Conservation Service point out that the best method is to set the plants in a well-set-; tied bed. Dig holes wih a mat tock or spade deep enough to ace:mmodate the plants. Then place the loots against the side of the hole and pack the soil tightly, leaving the top bud level with, or slightly below, the surface of the soil. If the rows are 25 feet apart, space the plants about 3% feet apart in the :ow. Arcund 500 plants to the acre are recommeneded. o TREES TREES Sixty -two Franklin County| farm families bought 1,000 peach trees this winter through a co-j eppreative order, reports E.

Selection of the site will how ever be determined by a commit tee of three, composed of State CCC Director Garrett, of Raleigh, a Commandant from Fort Bragg, and the State Sanitarian, from Raleigh. It is not yet known whether the proposed Person camp will be for use of white youths or Negro boys, but it is estimated that camp enrollment will range between 200 and 300 and that staff personnel will consist of from fifteen to twenty persons. . Director Garrett, joining with Representative Folger, has given ‘every assurance that the camp will be assigned to Person” and those who have been backing its elocation in this area are pleas ed that the prospect of location rs a camp expected to add much to the financial and social secur ity of the Person area grows hot ter. Such camps are ordinarily lo cated near cities and towns in order to secure water and lig.lt faclities, although some camps have been placed in more com pletely rural sections.
