Cel lege has just completed a careful survey flf its IN graduates of last year who were lacipients of the P bachelor of scienve degree, to re view what each of them is doing Of the M>, 201 are teaching la [$ North CaroUna. 17 are Mag grad uate work in North Camilla. and 13 are in military service. Four teen are teaching In other states, three are doinc graduate work elsewhere. 14 are in business, and eitfM are not teaching On the basin of these figures, 91 percent of the clasi are teaching, doing graduate work in further prepara tion for teaching, or are in military service. A further breakdown of the sta tistics reveals some of the reasons for Appalachian's graduates going to other states to teach. Of these 14 out-of-state teachers, one is teaching where her husband is in theological seminary, and one where her husband is in college; J one is teaching where her husband j la stationed in military service; three are teaching in the home towns of their husbands; three came from out-of-state to Appala Garden Time By ROBERT SCHMIDT Have you received your new wed and garden catalog yet? If not, ?end a poet card to your favorite teed company and request one. While waiting (or favorable gar dening weather, you can study the catalog, nuke gardening plans for the coming seaaon, and order the aeed, plants, and bulbs that you decide to plant. It is very import ant to order seeds early so that they will be on hand when it is time to plant Seeds that are left over from last ?eaeon should be given a germina tion test before being planted this year. Some of them may not bo good. An easy way to make a ger mination test Is to place a wot pap er towel or blotter on a dinner plate. Count out 90 or 100 seeds upon the paper towel and place another wet paper towel on top of the aeeda. Then cover with another plate turned upaide down and place * in the kitchen or other warm room. Most vegetable and flower seeds will sprout In about a week, some in three or four days. If moat of the seeds In the test show sprouts, the left over seed may be planted la the garden. Although it Is still early to start outdoor gardening operations in moat parts of the state, several kinds of vegetables may be planted later thia month in the extreme eastern and southeastern portions. Early cabbage planta, onion seta, lettuce plants, Iriah potatoes, spin ach, radiahea, mustard, kale, tur nips, garden peas and endive are a few of the vegetables that may bo planted. Cauliflower, broccoli, car rota and beets are often damaged by aevore freeies and should not be planted aa early aa the above listed crops. Varieties to plsnt should be de termined by your own experience and by recommendations of your state experiment itation. Many of the old varieties listed in the toed catalogues are aa good aa the new onea. However, every gardener ahould try out aome of the new varietiea. They will provide new interest and speculation.
