JQp Master It tells us immediately what Is wrong when you bring your watch in. It proves to you that it's right, when you take it out Alexanders Jewel Box BottlMfround Ave. why? Although not always the case, the usual answer to that question is poor pollination. Most musca dine varieties require pollination by a male vine in order to set fruit Many of the wild muscadine vines are males and in the past have served as pollinators for the vines planted. in the home gardens. However, many wooded and J>rushland areas have been put into cultivation and in doing so the male muscadines have been destroyed and now the garden varieties are not producing good crops. I saw a good illustration of this last week. A large James grape which formerly produced good crops has only a scattering of grapes on it. That has been the utory for several years. However, three young vines propagated from this one and planted in a nother garden along with some perfect flowered pollinators have a heavy crop of grapes on them this year. This goes to show how important pollination is for your scuppernongs and muscadines. During the past few years sev eral perfect flowered varieties of muscadines have been offered for sale. They ewere developed at the North Carolina Lower Coastal Plan Experiment Station by Charles. Dearing. These varieties will produce crops without the presence of male vines and also will take the place of male vines in pollinating other varieties. Since the male vines produce no grapes, it Is a distinct advantage to use one 'of these perfect flow ered varieties for pollination. Why use the old varieties at all? Because they are of better quali ty. The best of the perfected flow ered varieties are Burgaw, Wal lace and Tarheel. v Ask us to tell you about the welcome relief thousands of users an finding with SBauwtBiwi after other means had failed.

Minors under 16 years of age may not legally be employed in harvesting cotton, peanuts or other agricultural crops while school is in session, State Labor Commissioner For rest H. Shuford said today. Citing tne child labor require ments of the Federal Wage and Hour Law, Shuford said that such employment of minors on farms where the crops are shipped out of the State is legal oniy during the hours when school is not in session or if the child is employ ed by his parent or guardian. "There is no restriction on the employment of children in agri culture, regardless of their ages, before or after school hours or on holidays," Commissioner Shuford stated. "The controlling factor for employment of minors under 16' Is whether the schools are in ses sion in the district Where the child lives while employed. Even if an under-age minor having good grades is excused from attending school, it would nevertheless not make his employment legal dur ing school hours." The Labor Commissioner point ed out that the law sets no limit as to wages to be paid or num ber of hours that may be worked by agricultural child labor, pro viding the work is done outside school hours. ? Responsibility for compliance with the child labor provisions of the Federal Wage and Hour Law rests with the farmer, he said, regardless of who does the actual hiring of the children. He ex plained that prospective employ ers of children of doubtful age can protect themselves from un intentional violation of the law by having on file proof of age of each employed minor. Age certificates may be obtained by the prospective employee from the local Public Welfare Superin tendent, he said. Few Bee Hives Ups Apple Ciop Pollination experiments con ducted this year in Wilkes Coun ty provide good evidence that a few hives of bees and several va rieties of apple trees in an or chard help to produce the biggest apple crops. G. G. Farthing, county agent for the N. C. State College Agri cultural Extension Service, says a portion of the Bentley and Jan fu orchards contain only two va rieties of apple trees, red delici ous and stayman. In a portion of the Walsh orchard near Moravian Falls, there is a rather wide va riety of apples, including stay man, red delicious, golden deli cious, limbertwigs, and a few trees of other varieties. In the experiments, several hives of bees were placed In each of these three orchards at the beginning of the pollinating sea son. The Bentley and Janfu or hards obtained a "fair" crop of stayman apples, says Farthing, but few red delicious. Tills indi cates that red delicious pollen will produce a good set of ruit on Stayman apple trees, but stay man pollpn will not produce a good set of fruit on red delicious trees ? even though there are plenty of bees to carry the pollen to the apple blossoms. In the Walsh orchard an excel lent set of red delicious fruit was obtained. In fact, a good set of fruit was obtained on all trees which produced ample blooms.. This was the first year bees nave been used In the Walsh orchard. And this was the first year the red delicious trees have produced a full set of fruit. The county agent thinks the bees, plus the wide variety of trees In the or chard, are responsible for the a bundant crop.

The exposed planking and beams form an attractive celling and, at the same time, serve as Bubflooring for rooms above, or as roof decking.
