PLANT MORE TOMATOES
AND ROASTING EARS
Raleigh, May 14.—Garden work
can get well under way in May. The
more tender vegetables may be plant
ed in the open and a succession of
crops begun.
I
"Have a good crop of tomatoes
this year," says E. B. Morrow, exten
sion horticulturist at State College.
"The mid-season varieties may be
planted now and it is wise to get
the seed started some three or four
weeks before the plants are needed.
Give these plants plenty of room so
that they will grow stocky and
strong. The early tomato crop might
well be staked for best results. Drive
down a stake six-feet long and tie
the plants to this, using soft twine
or strips of old cloth. Prune to a
single stehi."
Mr. Morrow says that tomatoes
like phosphates and if the fertilizer
contained less than 10 per cent of
this material, it is a good idea to add
about a gallon of superphosphate to
each 100 feet of row.
Successive plantings of corn for
roasting ears should be made, states
Mr. Morrow. The Norfolk Market
and Tucker's Favorite are two good
varieties for the State but they do
not contain a high percentage of sug
ar. For real sweet com, no varieties
beat the Country Gentleman or
Stowell's Evergreen. Corn does best
when planted in compact blocks rath
er than in long rows. Pollination is
poor in the single rows and the ears
will not fill with grain.
Mr. Morrow suggests that gardners
be on the outlook for the cucumber
beetle in the watermelons, canta
loupes and cucumbers and dust with
poisoned bordeaux mixture as soon
as these bugs appear. The Mexican
bean beetle will give trouble with
the snap beans, also, and a dust mix

THINNED OUT TREES
AND SOLD STOVEWOOD
Raleigh, N. C., May 14.—8y thin
ning out the crippled and l stunted
trees on an acre of second growth
pines on his place, G. M. Hatley of
Caldwell County sold S6O worth of
stove wood and left between 500
and 600 of the best' trees on the
land for further growth.
"The pines were about 28 years
of age," says R. W. Graeber, ex
tension forester at State College.
"They had reclaimed an old, gullied
field but were getting very thick.
With the help of County Agent P.
M. Hendricks, Mr. Hatley decided to
try the new thinning plan which we
are advocating in North Carolina. He
kept an accurate account of his labor
and returns and found that he made
$lB net profit above all labor costs
and all the labor except sawing the
wood into blocks was perfoi*med by
himself."
The eight cords of wood were saw
ed and split into stovewood and sold
for $7.50 a cord netting S6O. The
actual labor involved left a profit
of $lB for the venture but when
Mr. Hatley figured that $34 of the
labor was performed by himself, he
stated that he made $52 by thin
ning and selling the waste wood and
left his woodlot in better shape than
it was when he began. Mr. Graeber
states that the remaining stand com
prises the thriftiest, straightest and
most vigorous trees and they are
now spaced so that they will make
rapid growth in the future. Mr. Hat
ley will have to thin this area again
in five or more years and will thus
reap a periodical harvest from this
piece of land.
He set a good example when he
i marketed his wood as a finished pro
j duct because the day is passing when
j a man will be able to sell profitably
j wood in eight-foot lengths. The
| market demands a finished' product
ready for the stove, states Mr. Grae
ber, just as the groceryman no long
er tries to sell a barrel of molasses
but rather gets his syrup in small
cans suitable to the needs of the
housewife.

IMPORTANT TO BEE KEEPERS
On Tuesday night, May 22nd, Mr.
C. L. Sams, Specialist in bee keep
ing, accompanied by Mr. H. H. Root
of the A. I. Root Company, Medina,
Ohio, will be in Rutherfordton. They
will meet in the County Agent's of
fice at the court house at 8:00 p. m.,
for a conference with the bee keep
ers of this section.
This meeting will be mostly a
round table discussion on the prob
lems relating to bee keeping. Any
one interested is invited to come.
On Wednesday morning at l» :00
o'clock the party will visit Mr. J. D.
Flack at Chimney Rock. Bee keepers
are invited to come to Mr. Flack's
for a meeting and demonstration.
There "&re, in Rutherford County,
probably 500 persons who own Lees
but there are not enough who keep
their bees efficiently; and there a~e
not enough who make bee keepin* a
specialty.
Efficiency in bee keeping does not
consist in expertness in planning or
use of equipment but does depend on
the study and effort which the bee
keeper puts on the principles back
of manipulations.
I hope that every bee keeper in
the county can attend the meeting
at Mr. Flack's Wednesday morning.
It is not often that we can have men
like Mr. H. H. Root and Mr C L.
Sams with us.
