Get Garden Going
In Early March
———
At least twelve popular vege
tables may be started in .the
• spring garden and these will j
aid in cutting down the food |
bill. The garden this year!
should be considered the most i
! im|)ortant acre on the farm be-1
■ cause it is good health insur-:
ante as well as safe economy- j
"The urge to get the garden j
going can hardly be withstood i
now that signs of spring aiv I
apparent," says E. B. Morrow, j
I extension horticulturist at I
State College. "We have thi'oe!
J valuable publications which
may be used by those needing
information on establishing a
garden and will send these t.>'
any one making application'as;
long as the present supply j
lasts. These three publications j
give suggestions about starl
ing the eaily plants, a manual
of garden planting and cultiva
tion, and a vegetable seeding
guide. Citizens of Noith Car
olina may have them on re
quest to the agi'iculural editor
at State College."
j However, in beginning the
garden now, Mr. Morrow rec
ommends the planting of as
paragus, beets, cabbage, car
rots, lettuce, garden peas, Irish
potatoes, pepper, radish, sweet
potato, tomato and turnips.
Large one-year-old uoots of the
Mary Washington variety will
give a start with asparagus.
The Early Wonder and Detroit
f\\ri: Red are good varieties of
beets for the early planting. If
the first seeding is caught by a
frost another planting should
be made immediately. Early
March is not too late to make
plantings of the second early
cabbages such as the Copen
hagen Market and the Charles
ton Wakefield varieties. Th >
seedlings should have plenty of
room and the young plants
transferred to the garden as
soon as possible.
CaiMets are as yet r.ot gen
erally popular but could be usoi
for health. The best varieties,
(according to Mr. Morrow, are
jchantenay and Danvete Half
l ong. The other plants men
tioned are well known and are
standbys in most gardens. Ear
| ly planting:; should be made at
j once.'

Gives Poison Mixture
For Tobacco Pests
l
The tobacco flea beetle • may j
be controlled by dusting the
young plants with a mixture
of paris green and arsenate of
lead where the tight trap beds
were not used and there is a
heavy infestation.
C. H. Brannon. extension .
entomologist at State College, :
reports wide prevalence of the ,
flea bugs this spring due to
heavy infestations in the fields
last fall and the unusually mild
winter. The insects are appear
ing in large numbers over a
wide area of the State, he says,
and some growers report heavy
damage even at this early tlal".
Th" ilea beetles eae at least a
month et'ilier in their attack s.
"T'a.o g: owes s who are v
ir.g the tight trap beds are
pleaded wit!: the excellent pi »-
tedion afforded by such beds,'
says Mr. Brannon. "We have
established a number of these
as demonstrations in various
parts of the State p.nd if possi
ble. nearby groweis should visit
such a bed and be prepared to
; build one like it next season.
Those who do not have such
beds and are troubled with the
flea bugs should prepare now
to poison them.
Mr. Brannon recommends the
lis" of one pound of paris green
an:) five pounds of arsenate of
l.ad mixed together thoroughly
and dusted on the plants dry.
jlfe recommends using the mix
't.ire at the rate of one-half
j oiu.d tc each 100 square yar.i
;' plant bed. Remove the cov
er to make applications and so
dust the poison that each plant
is covered uniformly. To dust
j in it!nips or splotches will cause
j huning of the tender leaves. \
jgood hand duster is the safest
m;vjhire t r , use.
I The number of dustings wi!!
|of coiTse depend on the sever
ity of (he infestation. How
ever. M'*. i suggest -
1! e : I.'.a '..>:•» each week
as long as the beetles are notif
ied on the beds.
