SOIL CONSERVATION NOTES H. F. KIZER Soli Conservation Service Herman Long, Cicero Smith George Smith and Rice Gwyni Jr., all farmers of the Longwooi community, own land adjacent ti each other. Each of these mei have problems of their own, bu there is a common problem ef fecttng their farms as a whole That common problem is drain age, as all these farms lie in th same general watershed. An ef fective drainage system for thes farms must cross property line, and lead to a natural outlet. These men got together, talked over their problem, and then cal led on the technicians assigned to the Lower Cape Fear Soil 1 Conservation District to assist 1 them in making a preliminary > drainage survey. They provided , necessary stakes and shrubbed t out the paths necessary for such a survey. The technicians made the survey, computed it, and sup plied the information to them. “Copies of the 1949 District Supervisors Annual Report for the Lower Cape Fear Soil Con i servation District are now avail able”, says J. D. Bellamy Jr., SCHWARTZ 1 ☆ TRUE es\i\ty ENDURES When planning a memorial, beauty of material and design should be of first consideration. For unless a memorial is beautiful, it fails in its purpose—that of perpetuating a beloved memory. It is equally important to know that the beauty so carefully planned will endure.

Southport Man Has Good Beans Observers Say That Joe Cochran Has Best Bean Patch In East Carolina; Planting Bell Peppers — Joe Cochran of Southport has the best five-acre field of snap beans, not just in Brunswick ; county but in all of North. Caro lina, according to Everett H. Sheppard, Shiloh, N. J., and Southport tomato plant grower. The beans are now about six inches tall, and growing almost as fast as those that Jack grew. ! Working with Sheppard, Joe I planted the five acres on the old ' Scabrozi farm, half a mile from the Southport City limits. Those beans came up and grew. They have found the Southport clim ate just to their liking. Right near his beans Cochran is now planting five acres in bell peppers. His plants were grown here for New Jersey farmers, but they grew so fast they had to be set out now. They are about ten inches tall and ready to bloom al ready. The New Jersey climate will not be suited for them to be planted there until the first of May, so Cochran and the Shep pards are going to see how bell peppers will grow in this neck of North Carolina. The two Sheppards, Everett and Irving, are also planting 10 acres in bell peppers on the Everett H. Sheppard tomato plant farm out on the river road. Between those two and Cochran they are mak ing quite a demonstration in growing bell peppers in Brunswick this year. “Can’t help it.” Said Everett, “those plants are so big they have to be set out somewhere right away.

Beans Can Be Sown in Pairs, Properly Spaced, to Insure a Good Stand. You Can’t Be Too Careful in Sowing Garden Seeds While seed sowing is not a pre cision job—especially when nature does it—gardeners soon learn that much can be saved if it is done with •ome skill and judgment. If sown too thinly, there may be vacant spaces in the row, caused by local mishaps such as drown ing, or washing out, or an attack of fungus. If sown too thickly, seed lings will come up crowded, and there will be extra work in thin ning out the excess plants. Some seeds are often sown so thickly that ninety per cent of the plants must be sacrificed, in order to give the remainder room enough to mature. This is waste of both seed and labor. Then what will serve as a guide to follow? As a general rule, not more than fifteen seeds to an inch should be needed, when seed is of standard germination, and the soil is fairly porous. Start with that rule, and then make these exceptions: If seed is of sub-standard germi nation, or known to be old, double that rate. Carrot seedlings are feeble, and often have difficulty breaking through the soil if it is at all inclined to crust. Use twice as much carrot seed if you have doubts about your soil being porous enough. In the case of large seeds, such as beet, Swiss chard, and peas, which can be spaced precise ly, sow them an inch apart. Bush beans usually are allowed tc grow four inches apart In the P»w. St y0u wish to avoid vacant New Jersey and set them out there now, they might get cov ered up with snow.” The fifty or more acres that Everett H. Sheppard has in tom ato plants for the New Jersey tomato farmers are doing fine Sheppard says. In fact, he be lieves his 50 acres in better shape ■ than the thousands of acres of | plants being grown in Georgia j for all eastern states. He has had ; to replant once, as a frost came ! along ust after the plants had! broken through the surface. As ; against this drawback, most of j the Georgia plant growers have i had to replant two and three : times. One of the largest grow ers down there said on Easter Sunday that tomato plants were going to be late, and scarce to boot. Adult Reaction The Sunday School teacher had just finished telling her class a bout the beauties of heaven. * “Now,” she said, “how many of you want to go to heaven?” Everyone in the class raised his hand except a small boy in the last row. “Why don’t you want to go to heaven, Robert?” the teacher ask ed. “Gee willi keVs,” the boy said, his face working indecisively. “I’ve got two mink traps set."

If both grow, one can easily be pulled up, or let them i both develop, since twin plants will ) do as well as singles. The surest way to sow small seeds is to take a few in the hand, snd let them fall through the fingers into the drill which has been pre- i pared. Get close to the ground, and with a little practice you can quick- | iy acquire control so that the seeds ' will be evenly distributed, each sufficiently distsrsat from the next to prevem entanglement.
