K Seed of lima bean normally
decay if planted in cool or
moist soil. To get early lima
beans soak the' seed in water
overnight and let the seeds
start sprouting before planting.
Once sprouted there is less
danger of decay. Soaking seeds
of beets, okra, watermelons, cu
cumbers and cantaloupes will
also result in earlier plants pro
vided the soil is moist when the
seed’ is planted. Plant in moist
soil by (1) scraping off the dry
soil on top of row, (2) irrigating,
or (3) waiting to piant until af
ter a rain.
Set tomato, pepper and egg
plants in the late afternoon to
prevent excessive wilting. Wa
ter all plants with a starter so
lution made of 1 pint (or 1
pound) of a complete fertilizer
(like 8-8-8) in 5 gallons of wa
ter, or a commercial water sol
uble starter.
Plastics are being used for
hotbeds, coldframes and green
houses to get early plants. An
other good use for plastic sheets,
is the covering of plants or seed
in the row. This will hold the
heat from the sun and result
in faster early growth. Actual- j
ly, it’s like a large hotcap. Re-|
member the hotcaps as well as
these “plastic tents” need ven
tilation on bright sunny days or
else the young tender plants
will be scalded.

I will have to wear the same

Since this is true, may I sug
gest several things that you may
do to help you with your ward
robe planning,
1. Remove all of your gar
ments from the wardrobe, or
your clothes closet.
2. Launder or dry-clean these
garments, that is, if you haven’t
already done so.
3. Check to see if the colors
you wore last year are becom
ing.
4. Assort them into three
groups: (a) In the first group,
put the clothes that you may
want to discard, or to give
away. Decide which ones you
will rip or remake into useful
garments such as aprons, blous
es, children’s clothes, play
clothes, and many other useful
garments; (b) In the second
group, put the clothes that need
to be mended, especially those
which you will need to replace
buttons; mend button-holes that
have be*r torn or stretched, re
place zippers, snaps, darn small
holes, rips, and tears; (c) In the
third group, include the gar
ments that need to be shorten
ed, restyled or altered. In or
der to have a better fit it may
be necessary to alter the waist,
shoulders and sleeves.
5. Look in fashion leaflets,
books or magazines for ideas
that you may use to restyle cer
tain garments you wore last
year. Many of these garments,
are too wide, or too long. They'
may easily be restyled by tak
ing some of the fabric out of the
wide skirt, in order to give the
appearance of the sheath type

North Carolina are looking for
ward to their spring assembly
to be held at South Boston,
Virginia April 20 through 22.

. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Christian warfare, in which
spiritual good overcomes the
evil in human thinking, is a
theme of the Lesson-Sermon to
be heard Sunday at Christian
Science church services.
Scriptural selections will in
lude Paul’s exhortation: “The
night is far spent, the day is
at hand: let us therefore cast off
the works of darkness, and let
us put on the armour of light”
(Romans 13). “Are Sin, Disease,
and Death Real?” is the title
of the Lesson-Sermon.
This citation from “Science
and Health with Key to the
Scriptures” by Mary Baker Ed
dy will also be read: ‘Chris
tians must take up arms against
error at home and abroad.
They must grapple with sin in
themselves and in others, and
continue this warfare until they
have finished their course. If
they keep the faith, they will
have the crown of rejoicing”

Administration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the North
Carolina Employment Security Commission office in the Citi
sens Bank Building. '
Question: I am a tenant farm
er and have not reported a pro
fit of at least S4OO in some of
the years since 1955. For 1961,
I don’t believe that I’ll make
a profit either, according to my
tax man. He said that I could
report for social security credits
by using the optional method.
I told him to go ahead and
make out my income tax so that
I would have to pay the least
taxes. Should I have used the
option?
Answer: A farmer has a choice
in reporting his income if his
net profit is less than SI2OO.
Since social security payments
can be very important to a
worker with a family who eith
er becomes disabled or dies, the
optional method of reporting
farm income permits small
farmers with small or no re
portable net profits to become
insured under the social securi
ty act. The way to do it is
simple. Two thirds of gross ’
farm sales (not to exceed $1800) [
is reported instead of deduct
ing total expenses. Expenses
must still be itemized and list
ed on the farm income tax
form.* On the third page of the,
form, the optional method isj
explained. Total farm gross j
sales, rebates, acreage reserve!
payments, etc., must be at least
S6OO in order for the option to
apply. The social security tax.
rate for 1961 for all self-em-l
ployed workers is 4% .percent. I
More information concerning tax 1
returns by farmers is available
through local tax consultants,
or you may want to drop a post;
card to the District Director, In-1
ternal Revenue Service, Greens- i
boro, N. C. If you have not
used the optional method avail
able for farmers for any of the 1
past three years, you may file
amended tax returns, changing
only the third page of the farm
schedule (form 104OF) to show
that you elect social security
coverage. For some farmers,
this is away to increase the

amount of possible monthly
benefits payable to them and
