Sow Pansies for Next
Spring This Summer
ransy plants sucn as are sola in
flower in early spring may be grown
quite easily by the gardener who has
.ι cold frame. The seed is sown in
late summer in a seed bed which
can be shaded and watered.
Seed of one of the giant s rains
should be obtained if one wants :arr,i
flowers. Violas may also be gi»e-i tne
same treatment. Ail pausies v.e mem
bers of the viola family, but the nair.e
pansy is applied to thofe which have
"faces."
If you have a seed bed made of
fine soil shaded with a canopy of
cheesecloth or lalh, and which ran i
be watered, sow the seed in rows. |
If you ha\ e no such seed bed pre- '
pare a flat shallow box full of sifted
soil in the usual manner and sow the
pansies in that. It can be placed in a
shady spot and kept well watered
until the seedlings appear.
In sowing spread the seed thinly.
Mix sand with it if necessary to
prevent overcrowding. If the seeds are
too thick it will be difficult to dis
entangle the roots of the seedlings
when time conies to move them. As
soon as the seeds sprout thev should
be given all the light possible and
plenty of fresh air. Do not let them
dry out. Protect them from the mid
day sun.
When the seedlings have made their
first true leaves thev should be trans
planted to other flats, where they
nave more space, or to the cold frame.
Florists usually move them to flats
where they are planted 2 inches each
way; this is called "pricking out."
They arc allowed to grow here until
they are small sturdv plants. The
amateur mav short cut this procedure
and move the seedlings directlv from
the seed bed or first flat to the cold
frame.
Soil in the cold frame should not
be overmanured, but should be light
ana manic and reasonaDiv ternie. ι ne
plants should be set in rows, 4 inch
es apart in the rows, and β inches
between the rows. Let the plants
grow in the open through the fall
until the ground begins to freeze.
Then fill tip the cold frame with dry
leaves and cover it with the sash or
boards. In severe weather the sash
can be covered with straw mats or |
any such covering, but this is not ι
usually needed.
In the spring as soon as the frost
begins to come out of the ground, ,
the leaves should be taken off the |
pansy plants and the sash put onthe
frame. The management from now on
is the same as any other planting in
the spring. The pansies will bloom
under the glass much earlier than !
they would outdoors, and you will
have pansies to set out in the border
when the tulips begin to bloom.
Farmers Told
Dust Peanuts
College Station, Raleigh, July
2—Farmers who do not dust
their peanut crops for leafspot
control are literally throwing
money away, says Howard R.
Garriss, plant disease specialist
for the State College Extension
Service. Mr. Garriss is suggest
ing that peanut growers begin
now to get their dusting equip
ment in condition.
Commenting on the dusting |
problem, Garriss said:
"Evidence of increased inter
est among growers is shown by
the fact that in 1942 only 2,000
acres of peanuts were dusted in
1947.
"The average dusted in 1947,
figured at 11 cents per pound
for peanut3 and at an average
increase of 300 pounds of nuts
per acre, meant over $2,500,000
in added profits from dusting."
Garriss said, that the recom
mended dusts for peanut leaf
spot control are either copper
sulphur dust mixtures containing
four to six per cent of metallic
copper or straight 325-mesh
dusting sulphur. The copper
sulphur mixtures handle better
in equipment and give better re
sults than straight dusting sul
phur, he reported.
He pointed out, however, that
either dust will give practical
results.
The specialist made the fol
lowing recommendation on the
dust application: "Apply 15 to 20
pounds of the dust per acre for
each application. Start dusting
during the first week in July
and continue application at two
week intervals for a total of
three to four applications. Any
application washed off by rain
within 24 hours should be re
peated as soon as the weather
is settled."
Eggs Larger
Says Expert
State College Station, Raleigh.
July 2—North Carolina laying
hens are not only producing
more eggs now than in past
years, but they are also produc
ing larger eggs, according to T.
T. Brown, poultry specialist for
the State Col: " · Extension Ser
vice.
A few years ago, Mr. Brown
said, most of the eggs exhibited
at egg shows throughout the
State were too small-below
standard weight of 24 ounces per
dozen in many cases. At the
shows this year, however, most
of the eggs were too large, rang
ing from 28 to 32 ounces per doz
en.
Some producers said their eggs
were so large that it was dif
ficult to select eggs small enough
to be classed as medium-sized,
Mr. Brown stated.
The increase in size, the poul
try specialist said, has been
achieved as the result of a care
ful breeding program.
South's Cotton
Acres Are In
Sharp Decrease
College Station. Raleigh. July
2.—The South's cotton farmers,
through better management and
higher yields, have been able to
reduce their cotton acreage
sharply during the past 10 years,
says C. Brlce Ratchford, in
charge of farm management for
the State College Extension Ser
vice.
The sharpest reduction, he
said, has occurred in Oklahoma,
where the crop has decreased
from an aveiage of 2,197,000
acres during 1935-39 to 1.074,000
acres in 1946. This is a 51.1 per
cent reduction.
Using the same base years
(1935-39), there has been a 45.7
per cent decrease in Georgia and
a 39.3 per cent decrease in
North Carolina. The decrease in
Texas has been 22.3 per cent,
and in Mississippi it has been
19.0 per cent.
In North Carolina. Mr. Ratch
ford pointed out, all counties
have shown a reduction in cot
ton acreage, with some counties
noting very sharp decreases.
Counties showing the greatest
reduction are Martin, down 81
per cent; Pitt, down 78 per cent;
Beaufort, down 77 per cent; Len
oir, down 67 per cent; and Wake,
down 64 per cent.
Through better use of land and
better cultural practices, grow
ers have been able to increase
their yields per acre. Therefore,
Mr. Ratchford asserted, total
production of cotton has not de
creased nearly so much as total
acreage.

Dairy Progress
State College Station, Ral
eigh, July 2.—During the past
seven years, Ralph Beane of
State Road Community, Surry
County, has come a long way
up the ladder of successful
dairying, says County Agent
Neill M. Smith.
Mr. Beane's milk production
has grown steadily from less
than 30 pounds daily delivered
to a milk route to 200 pounds
daily at the present time. He
is now planning to construct
a 12-cow Grade "A" dairy
barn next fall, indicating that
he will further expand his pro
duction.
Mr. Beane's pasture and
hay production program is
well under way, with orchard
grass, Ladino clover, and al
falfa being grown. By grow
ing his own feed right on the
farm, he is able to obtan eco
nomical milk production.
