Special Course For Farm Vets Being Arranged The announcement of a special enrollment for 9b 550 veteran* whose delimiting date occurs pcior to October 1, 1954, was made by Mr. A. L. Teachey, Supervisor Veterans Farmer Training Program, Raleigh, on June It. PL 530 veterans whose delimit ing date occurs prior to October 1, 1954 and who did not have an opportunity to enroll in March or April may be enrolled on August 1, 1954 provided they have at that time a satisfactory training situation and can meet all training requirements. The delimiting date refers to those veterans who were dis charged before August 20, 1952. This means that any veteran who is not enrolled in school before that date loses all of his benefits for schooling. This announcement was sent to the agriculture teach ers in each county, and as far as I know it applies particularly to those who are eligible and want to enter the farm training pro gram. It may be applicable to all PL 550 veterans. All training papers must be prepared and approved and sent to Mr. Teachey not later -than July 25, 1954. TOose who are in terested should contact the agri culture teacher at Cove Creek or at Boone. Household Hints For Homemakers MAKE MEAT BUDGET GO FURTHER ?

Farm Questions And Answers , QUESTION: Can tea be grown successfully in North Caroling? ANSWER: The tea plant can be grown in North Carolina but the state is certainly on the edge of its survival range. It will pro bably survive, but not grow very well. In general one might say that where camellias grow, tea can grow also. The prospects of marketing North Carolina grown tea would seem to be slim. At tempting to grow tea in an area where it is not ideally suited, and then trying to market it in com petition with cheaply produced Oriental teas would not be prac | Ural. QUESTION: What is a pre emergence treatment in regard to treating corn with a chemical weed killer? ANSWER: A pre-emergence treatment is a spray applied to the soil after the corn is planted and before it emerges. This treat ment may be considered as "in surance" that weeds will not over-grow seedling corn, parti cularly in bottomland during a wet season. ' At recommended rates, the chemical 2,4-D will not control established p e r e n k\ a 1 grasses such as Johnson grass, Bermuda grass and quackgrass. While present in the soil 2,4-D will destroy most germinating seeds, including crabgrass. Dutch decide to cut military training to 18 months. Scott To Speak At Grange Meet Former Governor Scott, U.
