PEACH VARIETIES FOR HOME CARDENS During this month and the firs' part of next, a number of home gardeners will be setting oul peach orchards. These suggestions from Dr. Otto Veerhoff, associate in horticulture with the Agricul tural Experiment Station at State College, should be welcome assist ance to them in selecting the trees to use. In the first place, he says, home gardeners should realize that the fruit they select will be different from that chosen by commercial producers. Hie commercial orchard chooses rt( varieties primarily on the basis e# ability to stand shipping. The home gardener, on the other hand, must select his according to the flavor, texture, eating and can ning qualities of the fruit, and the disease resistance of the tree. Dr. Veerhoff points out that as the yellow-fleshed fruits fill more of these needs than do the white meated varieties, his list mainly features these kinds. He emphasizes that home gar deners may not expect to get fruit from the trees they set out this year until the fourth summer of their growth, and should there fore take this into consideration in deciding to plant. Varieties HIS 1151 IS ruiauscu iii — der in which the varieties will bear fruit during the season. Therefore, by including one of each tiee recommended, the grower should have a continuous supply or fruit from mid-June until the last of August. First in order of bearing is the Marigold, a yellow peach. And second to it is the Oriole, which ripens about a week later. Both have a fine flavor and melting fiesfc, and while the fruit is not large, if the trees are thinned early, their size should be satis factory. The trees themselves are quite vigorous. Oriole is one of the best for preserving in a freezer locker as the fruit will remain clear, yel low and flavorful throughout the process. Golden Jubilee is probably the best known early peach. It is of fhe Elberta type, yellow-fleshed and freestone. Its flesh is sweet and mild and does not discolor rapidly. For this reason, it is often used for canning and is rec i, mmended for freezing. A white variety ripening about; the >ame time-is the Cumberland. The fruit of this tree is medium K large, freestone, and is con s' dered by some people to be the sweetest of all varieties. The tree itself is quite hardy and vigorous. Another well-known white va riety is the Hiley Belle, a free stone. The fruit when well grown is especially attractive. The trees also are ornamental and when the blossoms are out makes a showy 11 ee. For these reasons, Dr. Veer hoff says, the grower may want to include this variety or the bud sport, Early Hiley, which ripens a week earlier in his garden. Midseason Peaches Vedette, a peach originating in Canada, is particularly highly flavored. It has been termed the ■peachy” peach, and therefore is favored for ice cream. Halehaven which ripens soon after Vedette, has become increas ingly popular in this state. It r’pens about ten days before El berta. This peach and the recent in troduction from New Jersey, Sum mercrest, are large, yellow, free stone, superior in flavor to the El berta,, and the Summercrest may someday replace it. The tree of this variety is vigorous and well adapted to the poorer soils. The outstanding white peach for midseason is still the Georgia Belle, Dr. Veerhoff says. When it is fully ripe, the creamy white flesh is suffused with red and has a fine, swee* flavor. These trees are very hardy and relatively im mune to bacteria leaf spot. Late Varieties Peaches ripening later than the Elberta are often destroyed by the worms of the Oriental Moth, and as there is not a practical method of control, the horticul ti rist does not include any on his rfecommehded list,for home use. However, for those people who would like to include a few of these varieties in their gardens, Dr. Veerhoff has added two of these trees to his list as possible choices. White Hale, an extremely large, white, freestone with a strong poach aroma, is one. The other is the Roberta, a very late, yellow freestone with much the same flavor as the Elberta. Its fruit is often irregular in shape but is very good for canning. These peaches have a richer flavor and are more firm in tex ture than the earlier varieties, but their susceptibility to the Orien tal Moth worm makes them poor nsks in the garden, Dr. Veerhoff Win lOU.-L,Cgdl (Continued from Page Seven) Howe’s line; thence South 46 de grees West about 127 poles along S.

Raleigh, Feb. 13—Some people in Colum bus County must begin drinking more milk about June 1 because by that time there will be an extra 1,000 gallons of milk pro duced daily in the area, reports Assistant Farm Agent J. P. Quin erly to the State College Exten sion Service here. Last summer, when drought conditions became serious in the dairy section around Starkville, Mississippi, a movement was be gun to bring in bred cows and heifers to the Whiteville and Chad bourn sections. There was a strong demand for family milk cows, and in a few months 666 animals had been delivered to the farm ers of Columbus County, accord ing to Quinerly. Some of the animals that were brought in at a cost of about $75 are selling at $125 to $150 each, now that they are producing milk. “All of the additional milk is need ed for home consumption in Co lumbus County and we could eas ily use more, if we had the cows,” Quinerly says. He also reports that growers are interested in keeping up the quality of their dairy stock and that at the present time there are 62 purebred bulls in the area. “This development in family milk cows may easily lead to a com mercial dairy movement in Co lumbus County because on every hand farmers are making an hon est e/fort to produce more high quality hays and more supplemen tal grazing crops, which is a com monsense basis for any dairy or livestock development,” the agent points out. ■XT FIRE LOSS HIGH NEAR WH1TEVILLE COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh, Feb. 13—Forest fires are destroy ing timber growth, soil fertility, and fences and are depleting sup plies of game in the Whiteville area, reports Extension Farm Forester H. E. Blanchard to the State College Extension Service. In one case a farm building was burned. Recently four different fires burned over 906 acres of timber and two fires did so -much damage that Blanchard has rec ommended the sale of all mer chantable timber as early as pos sible. One of the fires was so hot that all young growth, less than three inches in diameter, was complete ly burned by the fire, according to the forester. The merchantable timber had streaks of pitch run ning down the outside of the bark and some trees had been burned off at the ground line. “The us/.al burning season is now on in full swing with the us ual results and large losses are being suffered by many timber owners because of someone’s neg ligence.” Blanchard says. "With the burning is coming the usual number of salvage sales of tim ber due to loss from fire.” Other reports of timber losses from fire in various parts of North Carolina are reaching the State College Extension Service and growers are urged to guard their timber areas and keep the fire out wherever possible. -V CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICE “Soul” was the subject of the Les. sen Sermon in all Christian Science Churches and Societies on Sunday, February 13. The Golden Text was from Isaiah 61: 10, “I will greatly re joice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God.” Among the citations which com prised the Lesson-Sermon were the following from the Bible: “Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord. And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people” (Lev. 26: 2, 11, 12). The Lesson-Sermon also includ ed the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: ‘‘Soul and Spirit being one, God and Soul are one, and this tne never included in a limited mind or a limited body. Because Soul is immortal, it does not exist in mortality. Soul must be incor porated to be Spirit, for Spirit is not finite. Only by losing the false sense of Soul can we gain the eternal unfolding of Life as im mortality brought to light” (Page 335). -V The War Food Administration will continue through February U its program of making hay avail able to dairymen in designated drought counties in North Caro lina and other states to the north. The Tar Heel Gardener By John H. Harris N. C. State College Do you have your vegetable seed on hand? Planting time for some of the hardy ones is al ready here. If you are growing them in a coldframe or a frame garden, any of the hardy vege tables can be planted immediate ly. If they are to be planted on the outside, such vegetables as cabbage, kale, lettuce, mustard, onions, smooth seeded garden peas, parsley and spinach should be planted during February in most sections of the state. As a general rule, they should be plant ed 6 to 8 weeks before the aver age date of the last killing frost in the spring. Other hardy vegetables such as beets, carrots, cauliflower, celery, chard, wrinkled garden peas, Irish potatoes, radishes and turnips should be planted from three to four weeks before the average date of the last killing frost. Some of these plants should have been started earlier in cold frames so as to be ready for set ting out when the time arrives. If you have not already started these you may wish to purchase a few plants to set out now. The important warm season crops that the gardener may want to start early are tomatoes, pep pers and eggplant. Peppers and eggplant will not stand as cool weather as tomatoes and there fore should be started about two weeks later. . -v 600 Acres Of Land In Robeson County Is Used For Tobacco LUMBERTON, Feb. 13—Robe son County farmers have planted about 600 acres of land in tobacco plant beds and a movement is being started to have these beds put in garden crops after the to bacco plants have been taken off, reports County Agent W. D. Rey nolds of the State College Exten sion Service. Most of these beds are allowed to grow up in wTeeds during the summer when they could be pro ducing large quantities of vege tables. The soil in the beds is exceptionally rich and generally receives fertilizer at the rate of several tons to the acre. '’It’s just the place for an . excellent frame garden,” Reynolds says. -V Work Is Started On Freezer Locker And Cold Storage Plant CLINTON. Feb. 13—Work has begun here on the freezer locker and cold storage plant, to be erected by R. A. McCullen. Con tracts have been let for all ma terials, and additions to an old building, which is to be renovated, are being made. County Agent E. J. Morgan, of the State College Extension Ser vice, reports that farmers are ac tively supporting the program and plan to save much more food than in the past with less waste and spoilage. -V Seventeen-Hundred Pounds Of Poison Rat Bait Is Used WADESBORO, Feb. 13—Seven teen hundred pounds of poison bait has been used in the rat con trol campaign conducted among farmers in cooperation with L. C. Whitehead, rodent control special ist at State College. Assistant County Agent Marsh reports that the poison bait was a mixture of fish, corn meal, oat meal, and red squill. It was pack ed in three-pound containers and distributed to farmers through vo cational agricultural teachers in the schools. Wadesboro plans a rat control campaign in the near future. -V SILO APPLICATIONS SHELBY, Feb. 13—Applications for silos, to be erected in 1944, are being made since many grow ers with silos report that silage is not only a nutritious feed but also relatively cheap in compari son with other feeds, County Agent J. S. Wilkins of the State College Extension Service. He points to Kent Harris, Route 5, as a real silo enthusiast and says that the cattle of Harris are in good condition and show the results of good feeding. —-V EGG PER DAY YANCEYVILLE, Feb. 13—Mrs. J. S. Shelton of Route 1 has a flock of 119 New Hampshire Red hens that laid 119 eggs on Janu ary 23. Her report to County Agent J. E. Zimmerman of the State College Extension Service shows that her flock had an aver age production of 92 per cent dur ing January, which is by far the best record reported in this sec tion. Farmers who average 70 per cent production at this period of the year consider their flocks on a real good basis. -V A record crop of early cabbage, 52 per cent larger than the crop of last season, is now on its way to market.

Medical Aid Body Outfits Field Set For Destroyer Funds contributed to the Medi-| ral and Surgical Relief committee by the Ladies Auxiliary of the North Carolina Medical society have enabled the committee to do nate an emergency medical field set to the USS Fremont, a de stroyer, Dr. Joseph P. Hoguet, medical director of the committee, announces from New York City headquarters. The medical set has already been received by the medical officer on board the Fre mont, Lt. Comdr. Sydney A. Thompson, formerly stationed at the Naval Auxiliary Air Station at Elizabeth City. Valued at $110, the emergency field set was requested by the de stroyer as part of the equipment required to set up a mobile bat tle dressing station. Dr. Hoguet pointed out that an emergency operating set, valued at $225. would complete the sorely needed dressing station for the Fremont. Bandages, drugs, antiseptics, syringes, sutures, needles, minor surgery instruments and other supplies, carried in a two study valise-sized cases, make up tne emergency field kit. The operating set, which the auxiliary soon hopes to send to the Fremont, is a heavy canvas roll holding more than 75 instruments, ready to cope with any emergency operation from an appendectomy to an amputation. Supplying battle dressing sta tion equipment to battleships, cruisers and destroyers is but one: project on the committee's Navy! medical aid program. To date, more than 950 small-vessel medi cal kits have been distributed by the committee to sub-chasers, mine-sweepers, destroyer-escorts, 'ending craft, patrol boats, motor torpedo boats and rescue 'ships. . These small sets are equipped to j give on-the-spot treatment to the 1 i”1 and injured, until they can be 1 transferred to a base hospital. 1 ChurchAdoptsM’IntireMemorial i The session of the First Presby terian church has passed a resolu tion expressing its sorrow at the death of Edwin James Mclntire, saying: “Mr. Mclntire was a life-long resident of Wilmington, born April 14, 1894, the son of Robert M. and Sallie McKay Mclntire. Blessed with the love and guidance of godly parents, he accepted Christ as his Savior while still a small boy. joining the Church in 1903, under the pastorate of Dr. J. M. Wells. “He received his education at Davidson college, graduating in 1918 Returning to his home, he served his Lord and church with still greater love and zeal. He was elected a deacon of this church in May, 1938, and became an out standing example of a lay Chris tian who bridged the gap between pulpit and pew — following in the footsteps of Stephen, the first Christian deacon and martyr, in spreading the gospel. “Mr. Mclntire was elected an elder May 12, 1940, and grew in grace and strength until called home. His interest in and love for the church was all-inclusive, its business, out-post work, Sunday . school and missions. Also, he , promoted the work of the Y. M. C. A., being a member of the Reli- : gious Work committee, the Yoke Fellow-Band and the McClure Fel lowship Bible class. “Perhaps Mr. Mclntire’s most sacrificial and successful work was as superintendent of the Little Cha pel - on - the - Boardwalk’s Sunday school, and looking after the re ligious services there since 1942. “Modest and unassuming, Mr. Mclntire so lived thdt all with whom he came in contact recog nized him as a sincere Christian of deep spirituality, undying love for his Savior, and a friend of man. “The officers and congregation of our church; and the city of Wil mington, have been spiritually blessed by the Christian life and work of our departed brother, for which we give thanks to God, and ask Divine blessing and comfort for the members of his family.” N. C. FERTILIZER IS GOOD QUALITY By THOMPSON GREENWOOD Editor N.,C. Department of Agriculture RALEIGH, Feb. 13.—(A1)—Farm ers of North Caroina received $776,899 in extra plant food last year, a study of the annual ferti lizer report just completed by the State Department of Agriculture reveals. The survey shows that manufac turers of fertilizer granted farm ers an average of 62 cents per ton value in excess of the plant food guarantee. " D. S. Coltrane, assistant to the Commissioner of Agriculture, said that the extra value allowed farm ers by fertilizer manufacturers during recent years has run from 30 cents to as high as 68 cents per ton. “Invariably the plant food al lowed each year is in excess of the guaranteed anlyses,” Coltraine said. The fertilizer summary showed that the 14 inspectors made 6,188 inspections last year, securing 5, 513 official samples from a total of 504,880 bags of fertilizer. During the year, two lots of fer tilizer were seized for violations of the law. Penalties for the year ag gregating $12,767.17 were assessed on 576 lots. However, only 69 lots were deficient of the guarantee as much as five per cent. In cases of deficiency, the State Department of Agriculture endeav ored to locate the actual users of the deficient fertilizer, and the manufacturer was directed to make settlement with the users. When such a request was made, the department required a receipt signed by the user showing that settlement had been effected. Over 55 per cent of the users of below-guarantee fertilizer were located last year, and penalties were subsequently paid by the manufacturers. When the actual consumer could r i not be found, penalties were paid to the department, and the funds were then deposited to the credit of the general agricultural fund with the State Treasurer. “By rigid enforcement of the fertilizer law, the department pro tects the farmers of North Caroli na. This rigid enforcement enables users of fertilizer to purchase quality products correctly and plainly labeled. At the same time, manufacturers are protected against dishonest and careless competition. The primary object of the department's inspection ser trade free from fradulently-han vice is to keep the channels of | - I lied fertilizer. Every available neans is used in the fulfillment oi his duty,” declared Coltrane, who s in charge of the fertilizer in fection service. Coltrane said that the depart nent is eager to work closely with armers in their purchases and lse of fertilizer. “Farmers are invited to request nspectors to take special samples vherever desirable. This may be lone by writing directly to the de jartment or by getting in touch vith the inspector for the particu ar area,” said Colrane. we nave Plenty of COAL Phone Your Orders The Springer Coal Co.
