'Wilkes County Veteran Make Crippled Gi The lite of Mies Avis Laws, ot 122 Warren Lane, of Lenoir, will be much more enjoyable from now on. Plans are tor the Wilkes County Veteran Farm Trainees, their instructors and Mr. F. W. Davis, teacher of Agriculture to present Miss Laws with a television set and a com bination radio and phonograph. Miss Laws was in a car wreck in 194< and "her back was brok en. she was never able to sit up, wptil recently, even though she spent many months in the hos pital. 8he can now sit in a wheel chair. None ot the Veteran Trainees or their instructors are related to Miss Laws and here is the way the interest in her case be gan. In November 1948 Cayce Presnell* (now one of the Asst. teachers) heard about Miss Laws on Curt Webster's What's Cook ing" program over WBT. At that time Presnell had only re cently returned from an 8 jnonths stay in the Johns Hop kins Hospital of Baltimore, Md. "Naturally I was in much sym pathy for any one sick and in bed" said Presnell and "I start ed writing to her then." Pres nell wrote to her often butwiev er visited Miss Laws until Oc tober of this year. Aftgr his visit, he told his class of Veteran trainees (The Mulberry class) about his rlsit with Miss Laws. Someone in the class suggest ed that they buy her a television set. So that was the beginning. Prom the Mulberry class it was taken up with the six other classes in Wilkes county. Through the help of the Fire stone Store the television set was bought at cost. The Veter ans found they had some money left. Through the help o< the ?? F. Goodrich Store a Radio-Phon ograph combination and 12 rec ords were bought a't half price. Through the help of the Western Auto Store the technical labor was given free of charge, for in stalling the television set. Miss Laws is from an unusual ly poor family and was unable to have much in the way of rec reation. Now her life can be more enjoyable. And the Wilkes County Veterans Farm Trainees and their assistant teachers and Mr. F. W. Davis, all feel good about the whole thing too. o More than three-fourths of the nation's farms are now connect ed to electric power lines, ac cording to the Rural Electrifi cation Administration. Almost half a million farms have re ceived electricity in the past year. LIFE BRIGHTENED FOR INVALID LADY Miss Aris Laws, invalid, can get much entertain ment from a television set, radio and record player re cently donated her by Wilkes veterans of the farm train ins; program. Put Nitrate Oi Orchards Before December 25th By CARL E. VanDEMAN The better apple growers have earned from experience as well is from experiment station tests hat they get best results from heir nitrogenous ? fertilizer when it is applied in the late fall or early winter. One fact that many fruit growers and farmers do not un derstand fully is the great dif ference in the amount of actual nitrogen in different kinds of nitrogenous fertilisers. Everyone is familiar with the regular ni trate of soda which is 16 pe cent nitrogen and many have used cal nitra or ANL which is 20.5 nitrogen. Ammonium ni trate is 32.5 per cent nitrate which means that TOO poundB of ammonium nitrate has the same fertilizer value as 200 pounds of nitrate of soda, yet sells for little more than nithan nitrate of soda. The fourth type of ni trogenous fertilizer i s Ura mon which is 42 per cent nitro gen. If you take time to figure it out, you will find that 4 pounds of Uramon or 5 pounds of Am monium nitrate will give the same results as 10 pounds of nitrate of soda and cost of buy ing and applying either of these two is so much less than it is with nitrate of soda. Better see your fertiliser dealer now and give your trees a good supply of nitrogen before Christmas. Your trees will return you a - better crop of large red apples next fall if you do. Trees that had s> light crop or no apples at all this year should have a light ap plication of nitrogen and should be pruned with extra thorough ness in order to help than pro duce the bast crop in 1950. Hare you put out that poison ? ttf'?your orchards" These sunny clear days are when mice are most active. Better stop them now before they do a lot of damage to your trees.
