1 the farms ’MSLX CHOWAN COUNTY; } fByC. W. OVERMAN. Chowan Countv Aa«nt ! i' Prune Don't Sheer! John H. JHarrii, our Extension Horticul ture Specialist, says if all the hedge, shears were dumped u. nhgr oeean oiir plantings would soon lopk a hundred percent better.' You can’t prune with hedge shears —you can only shear. Shearing is all right for a formal clipped hedge, but it’s terrible for other type plants. How To Prune: Plants have character. Each species is dif ferent some are low and spreading, some round, others tall and spreading. Prune to bring out the plants’ character — keep the plant natural Rooking, when you finish pruning, except for size, you shouldn’t be able to tell the plant has been prun ed. If you have large over grown foundation plants, cut. them off near the ground or out and replace with dwarf, slow growing plants. If you are going to shear all your plants round, flat or square you might as well plant cheap ppivet hedge. All the plants will look alike anyway. Better still why net mold 9 plant from alum inum, paint it green and solve all your pruning, fertilizing and watering problems. When pruning plants like Chi nese holly and ligustrum, make your cuts inside the plant. Don’t clip the small twigs. This will make the plant too thick. New growth puts out just below a cut, therefore, stagger your cuts throughout the plant. If you need growth near the ground (.nandiana for instance) cut some stems near the ground. Keep the plant open enough for light to enter. If it gets too thick on the outside all foliage wil die on the insli.de. Boxwood are an exception, but even boxwood need not be shear ed. Use a knife or clippers to remove the longer branches. Make the cuts slightly inside the plant and leave the shorter branches unpruned. When To Prune: Do light pruning any time. If heavy cut ting back is necessary do this in early spring just before growth starts. If blossoms are import ant prune heaviest when plants finishing blooming. New Vegetable Varieties: You wflT probably be hearing a lot about the many “.new” vegetable varieties that are available this year. The varieties listed below have been tried, tested and proven to be good. You might, however, like to make a small trial planting of such new varie ties as: Manapal and Campbell 146 tomatoes (resistant to crack ing and Fusarium wilt); Nugget sweet potato (resistant to wilt, high quality and yields); Semin ole cantaloupe (resistant to downy mildew), apd Harvester snap bean (white seeded, high quality and high yields). Seed of these varieties may be scarce in 1962 but they may be worth your effort. Plan to grow one “new” vege table this year. Some sugges tions are shallots, Chinese cab bage endive, head or leaf lettuce. EARLY Wk QMS « BONDS J6SL IS HERE WITH A , MIMS FOR YOU! Deal now . ,* collect bonus dollars now?

Section 1 Although in most counties the farmers made their report to the township tax listers, the law prohibits the use of this infor mation in any way as a check against the farmer’s personal and property taxes. The informa tion reported by farmers is kept strictly confidential and is avail able only to the landowner who makes the report. Farmers can save time both for themselves and the listers by making some notes in ad vance as to: (1) How they used their total farmland acreage in 1961; (2) Acres of each crop har vested during 1961; (3) Numbers of brood sows, milk cows, beef cows, and hens and pullets as of January 1, 162.
