When the hot summer weather
reaches your neighborhood, spring
greens will lose quality. There is
one leafy vegetable that you can
have through the summer. If you
like spinach, plant seed of the New
Zealand variety. In the mountains
leafy vegetables should still be
available. Keep them sidedressed
with nitrogen to promote rapid
growth and good quality.
Potted amaryllis plants that have
finished blooming should be plac-

ed outside in partial shade and
kept growing during the summer.
Occasional light applications of a
complete fertilizer will assist in
storing food reserves in the bulb.
Sinking the pot in the ground will
help prevent water loss, but water
|f needed to keep the plant grow
ing. Do not dry out until time for
frost.
This is to remind you about jon
quils and similar bulbs. It is not
necessary to move or divide them
every year, but it is highly desira
ble to do this every third year.
They may be lifted, divided and
replanted at once, or they may be
carefully dried out and stored in
a cool place until fall. Do not lift
them until the leaves have begun
to turn yellow.
Now is a good time to plant
dahlias in the Raleigh area. Some
prefer to plant earlier but the pro
fusion and quality of bloom seem
to be better when planted in May.
You still have from two to three
weeks to do this in the mountains,
depending upon elevation. Be sure

Food Costs Vary
With Personas Age
Age is an important considera
tion in estimating family food
costs.
Though it is often said that grow
ing boys eat more than their fath
ers, and elderly people eat less
than those who are younger, more
definite information on food costs
as related to age is needed
In general, food costs increase
with age up to 20 years, then de
crease, according to Mrs. Ruby P.
Uzzle, consumer marketing special
ist for the N. C. Agricultural Ex-
tionsion Service.
Food economists used average
countrywide retail food prices for
August, 1958, to estimate that on
a moderate cost plan, feeding a
three-year-old boy would cost
$4.50 a week compared to $11.50
for a 16-year-old boy and $8.50 for
a 75-year-old man. These estimates
were based on home meals, not
“eating out.”
Over 12 years, boys and men need
more food than girls and women
of the same age, thus their food
costs are higher. It costs about a
third more to feed a 16-year-old
boy, on the average, than to feed
a girl of the same age. Next to the
teen-age boy, a man of 35 to 54
years averages highest in the cost
of . his food.
These figures prove that age is
important when planning the fam
ily food budget.

There are many good varieties so
take your choice. Use the larger
flowered types for show in your
garden and the smaller types for
cutting and house arrangements.
Keep your vegetable and orna

good mulch will help control mois

Spray or dust as needed to control
