The time Is at hand for sowing
wfed for fall crop vegetables and
in some cases setting plants for
? late crop.
For example, if you haven't al
ready done so, tomato plants for
the late crop should be set at
once. Broccoli cauliflower, col
lard and Brussels Sprouts seed
should be sown, in plant bteds for
later transplanting.
It is also time to sow seed of
Rutabaga turnips if you have
use for this vegetable. During the
month of August we should con
sider planting Kale, Turnips, Koh

LETTER
TO THE EDITOR
(Ed. Note: The following ietter
appeared recently in the Asheville
Citizen.) ' .
Editor:
From time to time I have had
the privilege of visiting the Plonk
School of Creative Arts, and I
would like to express through
your columns my appreciation of
this splendid school. It is a school
with a purpose, and it is the dis
covery of this purpose which giv
es to me a deep sense of its worth,
and the feeling that it is an insti
tution which deserves the support
of the community.
The teaclfers at the Plonk
School are all well equipped to
teach In their respective depart
ments, and every pupil receives '
full attention,, with Individual
neteds in mind. But to this effi
ciency for Intellectual and cultur
al development Is added the high
purpose of the School, which Is
to develop character based upon
the highest religious principles;
and this development reaches the
whole man^body, mini, soul. It
works upon the theory that no
matter how much intellectual a
bility a person may have; nor
how much wealth he may have,
what he does with it depends up
on the kind of person he la.
Miss Laura Plonk, the School's
Director, is a person of fine
christian character, and her as
sociates share her feelings in re
gard to the purpose of the school.
It is not simply an institution to
train pupils how to make money,
nor to make a career ? but how
to make a life and use It in its
divinely ? intended purposes. It
does develop and Inspire an ap
preciation of the best things In
life; providing a sense of discri
mination in life's choices.
To me the unpretentlousness of
the School lsqpne of its markted
features. It has an atmosphere of
simplicity; yet, as In all phases of
life, the deepant and most pro
found things lie in simplicity.
Some of my young friends are
in this School, and I have noted
with pleasure and appreciation

Insecticide Label
Reading Suggested
It's important to read the label
?n the insecticide you buy, says
Julius Daniels, Negro cotton far
mer of Williams ton. Route 3.
Carl D. Hodges, assistant Mar
tin County Negro farm agent for
the Agricultural Extension Sex
vice, says Daniels had an experi
ence recently which thousands of
farmers have had - ? that of not
taking time to read the insecticide
label.
Daniels checked his cotton field
for boll weevil Infestation recent
ly and, like other good farmers,
decided it was time to treat. He
went immediately to the feed
store and ordered a well-known
weevil spray. Th.? clerk misunder
stood and gave him the wrong in
secticide.
Daniels hurried home and be
gan applying the materia}. A
week later another weevil check
showed that the infestation had
increased considerably. Dante] s
called in Farm Agent Hodges. The
first question the agent asked
was, "What did you use?" A quick
check uncovered the mystery.
the scholastic and cultural effect
upon them; characteristics which
are distinguishing and worthy of
the highest approbation.
Our public schools are limited
in their teaching of religion, and
the inculation of moral and ethi
cal principles of conduct. My o^n
feeling is that the saving quali
ties in our public schools has been
the fine character of the teach
ers themselves. A private school
is not limited as are the public
schools to the traditional three
R's. There is no sectarianism in
the Plonk School, but, paradoxi
cally, there are broad and strict
religious principles from .which
the body, the mind, and the soul
are viewed, and the environment
provided conducive to the develop
ment and expression of a whole
person.
In this materialistic age it is re
freshing to find an institution
which believes enough in spiritual
values to make then; an integral
part of its teaching and environ- 1
ment. I have known Miss Laura
Plonk for many years, and am
deeply aware of her fine Chris
tian character, and her sincere
purpose to see God's will done
in the lives of men and women.
Her .life has been devoted to the
high purpose of helping, through
education, people to discover
themselves, , their purpose In life,
and to fit them to be capable of
fulfilling their mission.
I would commend this school
to the people of our community,
with the sincere belief that it is
worthy of our support.
Faithfully yours,
(Rev.) Norvin C. Duncan
