Now Is Time To Plant Seed Bed Now that the season for pre paring tobacco seed boas is nere it is timely to publish some of the advice given by E. Y. Floyd and L. T. Weeks, tobacco extension specialists. They say: "The seed bed should be placed in the warmest location, where the soil is very loamy and does not have a tendency to bake and get hard. A poor location is a site that would be extremely wet. It is best to select new soil which has been covered with leaf mold to prevent grass and disease. The seed bed should be thoroughly broken 4 to 6 inches, then pulverized until the soil is very fine. Two pounds of 4-8-3 fertilizer, the potash derived from sulphate Df potash magnesia, should be applied to each square yard of bed and mixed thoroughly with the soil about 3 to 4 inches in depth. Then the soil should be smoothed off to make sure there Present fill BE OPEN tfURDAYS. }Y & SON N. C.

This makes possible a more even distribution of seed. After the seeds are sown, , the soil should be packed lightly. The method most commonly used is to tack a board to a wooden maul so as to tamp the soil evenly over the entire bed. Timely Hints For ; The New Year Secretary Of Brunswick County A. C. A. Makes Suggestions For Farmers j Who Are Embarking Anew With The New Year With this, the beginning of the new year, J. J. Hawes, of Supply, Secretary of the Brunswick County A. C. A., comes forward with several timely suggestions to farmers. The suggestions are especially applicable to new j farmers and farmers making! changes for 1944. Mr. Hawes says: "If you have purchased a farm, bring in the deed and get the farm changed to hear your .iame. "If you have purchased part of a farm, bring in the deed and have the seller to come in with you and help make the division, of the cropland. "If you have more than one farm and expect to combine them, come in and attend to it. "If you have not signed your 1943 Application for Farm Payment for your farm, or the farm you were a tenant on, come to the. office and. sign it. The sooner we can transmit it for pay-, inent, the sooner you will receive I your check?which will be mailed! to you." Needlework Fun With A Future Modern Woman Keeps Her Hands Busy Making Something For Herself Or Her Home With tires and gas almost ex- J tinct. the family will spend more of its time at home on these winter evenings. They won't find time on their hands, because their hands won't be idle for long. Smart women are taking a tip from Grandmother, who was vert' seldom without a crochet hook or knitting needles. Mothers and daughters alike are enjoying the ritual of curling up in front of the fireplace, with i some form of needlework to keep their fingers occupied. Wc ate going old-fashioned again, but with a modern twist. The articles we make are going j to be sturdy, with plenty of j smartness too.

If you haven't learned how to knit, you will want to now, more than ever. A hand-made pull-over or cardigan will be a life-saver in chilly, drafty places this winter. Another form of needlework, which is fascinating as well as useful, is being revived. Quilting, long mortalized in folk-lore and at state fairs, has never been really far from the public eye. Quilts and bedspreads are prized and handed down from gneration to generation. Tnose women who favor originality like to work out their own designs:?most quilters, however, prefer to follow standardized patterns, achieving original effects from their combinations of materials. Look in the clothing departments of almost any store, and you will see that applique is sweeping the country. Teen-age girls are finding appliques just the thing to put over worn spots on a favorite dress, or to pep up] a tired skirt. Applique is an eco-] nomical form of decoration, because it can be made from odds and ends of material salvaged from the rag bag. These of you who are not lucky enough to have a grandmother to pass on to you the finer points of needlework, will find a varied assortment of instruction books in the stores. Now is the time to learn how o put your hands to worts uiui 10 litKt' advantage 01 these lcng winter evenings.
