All Farms Needing
Spring Clean-up
Hazards Should Be Re
moved Which May
Be 'Costly
\
“Every farm needs a spring clean- 1
up, not only to improve appearances
Ibut also to remove hazards which may 1
cause costly cuts, falls, or other in
juries at any time throughout the l
year,” suggests IC. W. Overman, farm ;
agent in Chowan County for the State
College Extension Service.
(Disorder is responsible for hospita
lizing one out of every five accident j
victims, according to a study conduct
ed by the National Safety Council,
r* The largest single cause of injuries,
other than the personal factor of poor
judgment, is disorder. For that rea
son, the county agent says, “A p’ace
for everything and everything in its
* place” is a good safety slogan.
In cleaning up the home, remove
accumulated papers and rubbish from
all parts of the house. See that medi
cines, drugs, and insecticides are
clearly labeled and kept out of chil-|
dren’s reach. Provide suitable recep- .
tacles for knives and other sharp
kitchen tools.
Check through the farm shop.
Make sure that tools are in good re
pair and in their right places. Re
move accumulations of barbed wire,
glass, scrap metals, and debris, and
trash —such as papers, scattered box
es and boards—which are fire hazards
and ideal hiding places for rats.
At this season, says the county
y agent, many bams have become clut
' tered with items used during the win
ter. With the coming of spring it is
important to find suitable locations or
storage places for feed, tools, harness
and other equipment to keep alley
ways and work areas clear. A little
cleaning Up now not only will provide
a healthful environment but will help
to save manpower vitally needed in
producing food and fiber for the na
tion.

Garden Time
By ROBERT ISCHMIDT
Again there is a need for the pro
duction of fruits and vegetables in
home gardens to aid in the national 1
defense. This time the gardens are
culled “Liberty Gardens,” and the em- 1
phasis is on processing—canning and
'freezing—of fruits and vegetables at
home. This will help relieve the drain
] on commercially processed vegetables; 1
which will be needed for the armed
forces. Let’s go along with this pro-]
'gram and grow a little more than],
usual—can or freeze as much as pos-j
--sible.
All cool season vegetables may be \
sown or planted noiw in eastern or I
piedmont North Carolina with the po3-i
sible exception of cauliflower or celery I
plants which might be dam-aged by a 1
heavy frost. However, these should '
he protected on frosty nights.
For earlier maturity of warm season
o ops it is worth while to use a few
botcaps or plant protectors this year.
Cucumber and melon seed may be
I planted directly under the caps to get
a crop at least trwo weeks earlier. To
mato plants may be set under caps'
,lbefore danger of frost is over and
jthereby gain several days over open
(field set plants.
] The “Tendergreen”’ variety of snap
jbeans has been a popular one, and
] rightly so. 'However, if you have not
j tried “Topcrop” and “Contender’ 1 va- 1
1 rieties, I recommend that you grow'
some. They are among the best.
In general, use varieties recom
mended by your experiment station or
those which by experience you have
found to be best for your conditions.
On the other hand, there is always an
added zest to gardening if you will
try out something now that your
neighbor hasn't got. But don’t set
your expectations too high. Some of
these new things for which you pay
a penny a seed may not perform as
well for you as those for which you
pay ten cents an ounce.
