m?rxwmmrMJk tmvrcznrzv/x&m This is the month to plant many of our cool season crops lor the fall garden. In the extreme eas tern portion of the state even such crops as Irish potatoes and tomatoes (plants) may still be planted lor a late fall crop with a fair chance of making a crop. In other sections of the State it would be too late for them. Turnips, rutabagas, mustard, lettuce, Tendergreen, Broccoli, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, cauli flower, snap beans, beets, carrots, Kohlrabi, collards, peas, onions, shallots, spinach, radishes, and kale are some of the crops that may be planted in August with safety. A number of this list may be planted in September Of course the key to success is sufficient rnolsture and fertility to bring ptbout rapid growth. That, along with proper control Insects will give you quality, which is as I JP linn ? ?? TlfTI necessary for the home garden as for the commercial grower. I would lik? especially to urge you to try out kohlrabi. The edi ble portion of kohlrabi is the swollen stem which forms Jus I above the ground and resembles a turnip in shape and taste. How ever, it is much milder than tur nip In flavor and of higher quali ty, if grown rapidly. Another good fall crop' Is Chinese cabbage. This is not a true cabbage but rather a mus tard although it forms a head. The variety "Wong Bok" forms a short compact head while the "Chihili" variety forms a tall slender head. They may be. used in raw salads or may be cooked. Head lettuce does not usually head up well in the fall but may be grown for Its leaves, or the regular leaf lettuce should give good results. A good variety is the new one, "Salad Bowl". No! No!

Selling Agents, Hickory, N. C. Oscar Pitts L. D. Hardin. and Owner Gene A. Saine Auctioneers State's Cotton Crop Estimated 510,000 Bales RALEIGH ? As of August 1, the North Carolina 1952 cotton crop is estimated at 510,000 bales (500-pounds gross weight), ac cording to the State-Federal Crop Reporting Service. This is 32,000 bales oelow production in 1951 and compares with the 10-year average of 523,000 bales. This re port is based upon information from cotton growers throughout the State. Assuming average abandon ment after July i, the acreage for harvest this year would be 690,000 acres ~ the same as har vested last year. Lint yield, indicated as of Au gust 1, is 355 pounds, compared with 376 pounds last year and the average of 341 pounds. Growing season was favorable for cotton over most ot the State until July 1. Since that date, and particularly since July 15, hot, dry weather has reduced pros pects considerably. High temper atures have caused heavy losses through shedding of squares, small bolls and premature open ing of bolls, especially in south ern areas. In many areas high temperatures have caused much more damage than dry weather. Boll Weevil damage was held in check to mid-July by control pro grams and hot weather. Al:er July 15 many growers discontinu ed their dusting or spraying sche dule, and around August 1 boll weevils were quite active in many fields. Recent good rains over all of the State's cotton belt may im prove prospects on late plantings, but are- expected to cause further shedding on some of the early plantings. Doves, Marsh Hens Dates, Bag Are Set The U. S, Fish and Wildlife Ser vice has announced regulations on taking doves and rails, accord ing to Clyde P. Patton, executive director of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. Regulations on taking ducks and geese are not yet to be announced.
