GARDENING TIME AND WHAT TO PLANT . (By C. W. Tilscn) The time to plant a good spring' garden is here now as soon as the ground is dry and warm again. Thej garden ground should be thoroughly) pulverized into a good seed bed that! will hold lots of moisture and fae-| ilitate the growth and cultivation of tender vegetables. In planting we should work an abundance of hijrh grade fertilizer into the soil in the furrow for rows before the vegetable seed arc planted. At planting time 8-4-4 or 7-5-5 fer tilizer should be used at the rate of 800 to 1000 pounds per acre for veg etable growing. Then when our veg etables arc one fourth to one third grown it will pay well to side dress the vegetables with Nitrate of Soda at the rate of 200 pounds per acre. The time to have npplied stable manure, to the garden soil was when it was plowed) up last fall aiyl sowed to rye and crimson clover. Tiie man ure to use now if we use any is that from our poultry housp applied and mixed into the soil An the furrows for rows. v There is nothing Compared to a garden for saving money and giving health to any family unless it is the family milk cow. And most every fam ilv in Jackson county should have the best possible of both ccw and garden. ^ - , Some of the vegetables we can plant now and the varieties wellj adapted to this section are: Irish i potatoes (Irish Cobbler, (Jreen Moun-j tain or Early Rose); Onions (Yel-| low Pr'iio, Yellow (Jlo'ie Danvcrs, j or While Globe); Garden Peas (Alas( ka or Thomas Laxton); Turnips i (Purple Top, White Globe or Amber j Globe); Beets (Detroit Dark Red or Crosby's Egyptian); Carrots (Cban-i tenay or Danvcrs Half Long); Caul-' iflower (Early Snowball) Spinach (Bloomsdale Savoy or King of Dcn-j mark); Mustard for greens (South ern Giant Curled or Ostrich Plume) ; Lettuce (for . leaf use.- Bla<}k "flrededj B&ipson or Grand Rapids, and for head use New York often called Cali fornia Iceberg) ; and Cabbage (Jer sey Wakefield or Copenhagen Market Now after April 20th the follow ing vegetables may be planted: Rad ishes (French Breakfast, Scarlet Globe, or White Icicle) ; Squash (White Bush or Yellow Summer Crookncck); Peppers (Rul^y King or World Beater) ; Beans, Snap (Early Red Valentine or Stringlcss Grcon pod); and Cucumber (Evergreen or White Spine; and Corn.

Their program for this month was on growing potatoes. The 175 club member# present at these ^ meetings learned the main essentials necessary to growing, the "Most Irish Potatoes at Lowest Cost per Bushel." These essentials are: 1. Good type high yielding seed treated by soaking 30 minutes in 30 gallons of water containing 4 ozs. of Bichloride of Mercury dissolved ; And the necessity of quartering each : potato lengthways to make 2 ounce seed pieces for planting. 2. Good loamy clover sod land turned deep in fall or winter and the use of 800 to 1000 pounds of 8-4-4 or 7-5-5 j fertilizer per acre mixed in furrows at planting before potatoes are drop ped. 3. Thorough cultivation of the crop every ten days until the vines spreading in the middle make culti vation impossible without destroying vines. 4. Spraying the vines first at 6- inches high with Bordeaux mixture and then every two weeks for 3 sprays will increase the potato crop at least one third. 5 Bordeaux spray mixture is inexpensive because 4 lbs. of Hydratcd lime, 4 lbs. of bluestone, 1 lb. of arsenate of lead to 50 gals, water make enough spray to cover 1-2 acre one time. 6. The 5 to 8 gal lon spray tank and 20 feet of 1-2 inch hose extension with nozzle is necessary for spraying beans, toma toes, cucumbers, beets, grape vines, small fruit trees and poultry houses as well as potato vines.

MVA METHODISTS PUN W CHURCH IMPROVEMENT I APPRAISING PARE LANDS | Work of appraising the lands in the Western North Carolina section of the Great Smoky Mountains Na tional Park preliminary to purchas ing the first units is going ahead as I rapidly us possible, Mark Squires, of Lenoir, chairman of the North ! Carolina Park Commission, said yes j terday after a conference with Verne Rhoadcs, executive secretary of the Commission. Mr. Rhoades is in charge of the survey and appraisal of the park Jands on the North Carolina side and yesterday re-commenced this work following a temporary halt during the past several months because of inclement weather. He stated yes terday that two crews of men have already becfl sent to the Cataloochce river section in the park area to re commence surveying work at once and before the end of the week he expects to have nnother crew in Deep Creek section of the park. The three crcws together will approximate twen ty men who under the direction of Mr. Ilhoades will push the survey and appraisal work as fast as prac ticable. The executive secretary reported to Chairman Squires that approxi mately 110,000 acres of the '214,000 acres of land on the North Carolina side to go into the first area to be purchased have already been survey ed and appraised. Purchase of lands in the appraised area will be started shortly, Chairman Squires stated, as the commission now has about $100, 000 in cash in the treasury for this purpose from the initial pledge cam- j paign in this state and which will be matched at once from the Rocke JdWg Jtfemori alfo^datwn^^^ WOreecnfly announced and Irnlcn is to go for the purchase' of lands in both North Carolina and Tennes see As fast as it is matched by the two states. Chairman Squires stopped over in Asheville to confer with Mr. Rhoadcs while en route to Brvson City where he expects to hold an ex ecutive meeting with officials there relative to progress on the park pur chase plans. Yesterday afternoon he and Mr. Rhoades visited the clerk's office of the United States district court to look over legal papers in the receivership case pending against the Whitmer-Parsons Pulp and Lum ber Company to get a line on the timber lands owned by this company within the boundaries of the proposed national park. This company is one of the larg est holders of valuable timber lands in the area and is said to have title to about 35,000 acres in one large tract which the state plans to buy. Purchase of this land, it is expected, will have to await the outcome of the receivership proceedings. The tract is located mostly in Swain coun ty in the Ocona Lufty river section. Mr. Rhoades (Wared that the work of surveying the remaining lands in the proposed first area in this State will be pushed vigorously and' he hopes to have it finished within the present' vear if possible. However, purchase* of lands may start at any time in the area already surveyed and Chairman Squires intimated that the commision is prepared to go ahead in this respect a* soon as pos sible. As to the issuance of the 000 in State bonds to further match the Rockefeller foundation fund, he declared that while he had heard nothing further from the governor regarding the bond issue, he under stands the chief executive ia ready to proceed as soon as the park com mission calls for the bond issue. Plato Ebbs, Buncombe county state senator, and treasurer of the com mission, is busy prosecuting a pri vate campaign to /urge all pledgers in the popular subscription drive to pay up their delinquent installments as soon as they can do so because every dollar taken into the treasury of the commission for land purchases means that many more dollars from the Rockefeller fond. ...
