Many of our deciduous shrubs and plants may be easily propa gated by means of hardwood cut tings. Examples are spiraea, crapk? myrtle, forsythla, Jasmine figs, bunch grapes, privet, goose berries, curants, and many others. And this is a good time of the year to make deciduous cuttings. Good, strong wood of last sum me": growth is best for this pur pose. The cuttings may be made In lengths of eight to ten inches and tied in bundles of 25 to 50 cuttings. If you have access to cool storage <38 to 40 degrees F.) the cuttings may . be stored in boxes of moistened peat or sand. Otherwise, thfcy may be buried in a mound of sand or sandy soil out-of-doors where they can b<^ shielded from the SUh's rays. In burying the bundles of cut tings it Is best to place them up side down, that Is, with the basal ends at the top. Before growth starts in spring thfe cuttings must he taken up and planted in rows or beds for routing. About two thirds of the base or bottom end of the cutting should be inserted below the surface of the soi.1 and one-third above the surface. It is nectessary that at least one good bud is above the surface of the soil. Instead of storing the cuttings over wjr.ter in bundles they may be plant-- J out in cold frames pr even directly in nur aery or garden rows as soon as thtey are cut from the plant. Us ually, however, the former me thod gives a higher percentage of rooting. Although bunch grapes are easi ly propagated by means of hard wood cuttings, this is not true of most varieties of muscadines. The Scuppernong is especially dlffi cut to root in this manner. For these it is better to layer the vines ? that is, to cover a young vine with a shovelful of earth while It Is still attached to the parent plant. In one growing sea son roots will usually form and the new plant may We detached from the parent and moved to the desired location. Dipping the basal end of the cutting in rootone powder Just be fore planting out in the nursery row or. roldframe will often causfe quicker rooting and a bet ter set of roots. Rootone may be obtained at any large seed store. 3 A DAY HELPS KEEP FATIGUE AWAY CHEERWINE is a taste thriller thot helps you look and feel your best oil day long. , Notre Dame, SMU On Television Saturday SOUT BEND, Ind. ?

Fanner Finds Chowan Clover 2s "Gold Mine" ' 1 Foy A. Ward of Chowan Coun ty's Gliden community found "gold" on 2V? acres of his farm last spring, according to C. W. Overman, Overman, county agent for the State College Extension Servide, says Ward's "gold" was wrapped neatly in lush growths of Ladlno clover. On April 3 Ward turned 50 shoats on his 2% acres of clo ver pasture and began keeping records of the corn and protein supplement fed. The pasture was divided in the middle by a fence so the hogs could be rotated to new growths of pasture each sev en to ten days. The shoats weighed 100 pounds each ? a total of 5,014 pounds. On Junb 12 the 50 finished hogs weighed 10,955 pounds and sold at $23.75 per 100. They had gain ed 5,941 pounds. During the 70 days the hogs were fed 350 bus hels of corn and 800 pounds of protein supplement. Minerals were fed free choicfe. Now, the $04 question: "What was the clo ver worth?" Overman and Ward arrived at the answer thii ?* ay: In dryiot feeding, they knew that it takbs about 6% bushels of corn and 40 pounds of protein sup plement to make 100 pounds gain. Ward could have sold his corn at $1.70 per bushel, so they valued the corn at that price. The 800 pounds of supplement cost $43 so they valued the supplement at $5.37 >4 per 100 pounds. To makte 100 pounds gain on dryiot feeding it would take 6*4 bushels of com at $1.70, plus 40 pounds of sup plement at $5.37% cents per pound ($11.05 for corn and $2.15 for supplement) ? a total cost of $13.20 per 100 pounds gain. The 100 pounds gain was worth $23.75, so each $1 worth of feed would produce $1.80 worth of gain. The 350 bushels of corn at $1.70 BOTANY "500" CLOTHES ?

" per bushfel was worth $595 plus $43 for the 800 pounds of supple ment made $638.00 for the dry feed fed. On the basis of the above ratio of cost to gain, the $638 worth of feed should have produced 638 times $1.80 or $1,148.40 worth of gain. The total gain of 5,941 pounds at $23.75 per 100 pounds w??r worth $1,410.99. Tht $1,410.99 worth of gain less $1,148.40 (the amount that could be attributed to the dry feed) left $262.59 as the value for the Ladlno clover. "There is gold In the soil when Ladino clover will return more than $100 per acite in 70 days grazing with hogs." says Over man. Ladino clover, when pro perly managed, will produce well for at least three years. It may be grazed periodically during the fall and winter as well as in the spring and early summfer."
