FRAME GARDENS 1

The answer to frequent failures
in the production of green
and leafy vegetables for the

months and during drought periods
may lie in a frame garden,
says H. R. Niswonger, Extension
horticulturist of N. C. State College.
The largest number of failures
generally occurs in Eastern
North Carolina, although 1
there are some such instances 1
in the Piedmont and even in 1
the mountain counties.
Since the recent dry period has '
delayed the planting of many ,
vegetables and hindered ttjose ,
already planted from coming up,
Niswonger said farm families
give serious consideration to the
use of a frame garden for sup- 1
plying vegetables for the fam- 1
ily. ]
A frame resembles a cold 1
frame, except that it is much 1
longer and not as wide. ine usual
width is four to five feet and 1
the length around 20 feet. For
a large family two such gardens
might be necessary to insure a .
sufficient supply.
To have green and leafy vege- 1
tables for the family table in
July and August, the seed of
such kinds as snap and bush
I lima beans, beets, New Zealand
spinach, Swiss chard, mustard,
tomatoes, and leaf lettuce may
be planted in June.
For a fall and early winter
supply, vegetables such as beets,

There will be no evidence of

*
North Carolina's greatest
"running story" at the Capitol
today is efforts of the Congressional
delegation, collaborating
with Governor Broughton and
State WPB Director Irving Hall,
to bring to the State a greater
share of war production contracts.
The State's Representatives
and Senators have done their
best, and so have the Governor,
Mr. Hall, Stat$,WPB Chairman
Robert M. Hanes, of WinstonSalem,
and others to protect
North Carolina industries and
their workers.
Some industrial organizations
in the State took heed a year
or more ago of advice from their
Congressmen here and began
seeking and carrying out Government
contracts. These organizations
are well off in these days
of almost exclusive war production.
Other mills, whose operators
lacked such foresight, are now
paying the price and are feverishly
seeking to get war Icontracts,
including conversioh of
their production machinery to
, such purposes where necessary.
Looking back into the period
before the war, Representative
Zebulon Weaver of Asheville re
- called that he had written many
, local chambers of commerce in
. his district, asking them to
; furnish him data on their industrial
facilities that he could
[ present to the government in
t their behalf.
"That was over a year ago,"
Mr. Weaver said. "They did pre1

MARINE CORPS HAS
RECRUITING OFFICE
IN SYLVA THIS WEEK
Starting one of the greatest
| recruiting drives that the Marine
! Corps has ever anticipated in
I the history of the Leathernecks
| in North Carolina, will commence
May 4th. At this time the
first contingent of Marine Recruiters
will .set up temporary
recruiting stations in a number
of the cities of North Carolina.
From May 4th to the 19th
there will be a Marine Corps Recruiting
Party located at the
Post Office in Sylva.
The Marine sergeants will be
fully prepared to enlist men in
the Marine Corps and also to
give physical examinations.
Those eligible for enlistment
in the Marine Corps must be between
the ages of 17 and 30,
single or married. Upon applicant
presenting himself to the
Marine sergeants with the in- '
tentions of enlisting, he will be
sent to the Marine Corps Recruiting
Station in Raleigh
where he will receive his final
examination and also be sworn
into the service before being
sent to the training station at
Parris Island, S. C.
At the present time many vacancies
exist in all of the Marine
Corps schools and with the Marine
Corps rapidly expanding
the need for men to be trained
for many types of duties in the
Marine Corps will offer many
new men the opportunity to atItend
one tff the Leatherneck
service schools.
By enlisting in the Marine
Corps one is doing his share in
helping protect America against
the enemy. They need your help.
A marine corps recruiting station
unit is now in Sylva and
will remain here through May
19, at the post office. If a man
is particularly well qualified, he
will be accepted up to the age
of 35.
The recruiting sergeant pointed
out that here is an opportunity
for men to see service . on
land, sea, and air; and that men
who are registered for selective
service will be admitted to the
Marine Corps.

FA1S0N SPEAKS :
TO LIONS CLUB ?5
ol
Mr. John R. Faison, District Sl
tc
Supervisor, from the Asheville
Office of the Farm Security Administration
was guest speaker
at the last meeting of the Sylva ^
Lions Club held Wednesday 2*
evening, April 29, at the Jarrett r(
Springs Hotel.
Mr. Faison chose as his sub- a
ject the "Role of the Farm Security
Administration and the ?
Low Income Farmer in Our Na- 1
tional War Effort." The subject ^
discussed covered mainly the 0
need for increased production to '
meet the war demands of our
own country and our allies. To
meet these demands it was
pointed out that "farmers of (
this country will have to increase .
production one-fifth over pre- ^
vious years. This increase will
have to come largely from the ^
1,000,000 low income or small .
farmers who have gross yearly
incomes of $500.00 or less. This
is due to the fact that the large
farmers are already producing R
near capacity, and the shortage ^
of farm labor and farm marhinerv
will orohiblt this group n
from increasing production to ^
any great extent." Mr. Faison ^
said that the food items in which
the greatest increase is needed .'
are poultry, meat, and dairy f
products. He stated that "in .
North Carolina alone 88,000 farm
families have no cows, 86,000 ^
have no hogs, 37,000 have no
poultry, and 31,000 families, had
no garden year." He told the c
club that "in order to meet the ?
necessary 205 fiieressrtn'agfP^ 4
cultural production, we will of s
necessity have to develop this J
great unstopped reserve of small
farmers. The Farm Security Ad- J
ministration has been designat- J
ed by Secretary of Agriculture,
Claude R. Wickard, as the agency
responsible for the development
and increase in production
among this vast number of small
farmers."
e
"Approximately 20,000 North
Carolina families are now being
assisted by FSA and 300 Jackson
County farmers are now on t
the program doing their bit to- t
,mf irv-r, fn \i/in ft")p war." J.
Well LI pi UUUV/Uiuii vu t* v?? B
said Mr. Faison.
"Contrary to the general conception,"
Mr. Faison pointed out,
"Farm Security is not a relief
agency but is on a sound lending
basis and 97 per cent of all
loans due have been repaid." 1
After completion of the talk
by Mr. Faison, an interesting discussion
was held on the topie
discussed with all members of
the Lions Club participating.

Before the school houses close
lis evening, it is estimated that
lore than nineteen thousand
ersons will register for war raoning
books, the first to be

The present registration is to

and the allotment, up

eek per person.
Each person registering i s
tven a ration book containing
J stamps, each, at present, repjsenting
a pound of sugar. If a
imily registering has an excess
mount of sugar on hand,
;amps sufficient to care for the
kc?ss, are torn in equal amount
om each book in the family
nit. In cases where the excess
l sugar owned by the family
nit is more than represented by
Dur stamps from each book,
len no book is issued, and the
lembers of such a family have

hen the excess amount of sugar
i consumed, at the rate of one
alf a pound per person per
eek, based upon the present aliment,
which, however, is subjet
to change after June 27.
School teachers of the county,

POULTRYMEN ARE
WARNED AGAINST
POOR MANAGEMENT
This is the season of the year
vhen a small amount of negligence
may prove costly to farm
joultry raiser or the commercial
joultryman, says T. T. Brown,
extension poultryman of N. C.
State College.
Improper management of the
aying flock or the young pullet
lock can easily reduce profits
low and during the next 12
nonths. Since eggs are already
mproving in price, indifferent
nanagement of laying flocks or
ihicks during this season will
prove expensive. '
If the flock is well cared for,
the poultryman can expect a
satisfactory margin of profit
from his eggs in a lew more
weeks. This will necessitate careful
culling, a job that should be
done each week.
Hens that go broody should
be banded with a spirolet and
placed in a broody coop. Such a
;oop should have a wire bottom
md should be suspended at
least two to three feet above the
floor to permit free air circulation
under and around the hens.
If broody hens are confined to
such a coop at the first signs
if broodiness and both mash and
?rain kept before them, they will
not usually require more than
five to six days to come back
into production. If allowed to
remain on a nest several days
before confinement, it may re?Continued
