ABOUT THIS QUESTION:
"I fell for this cut-rate
auto insurance from a
direct-writing insurance
company with no Independent
local agent. When I had a
collision loss, i found their
adjuster trying to cut every
corner on repairs to save the
company money. Does any
one really think he saves
money when he by-passes
his Independent local insur
ance agent?"

I am writing this one the eve
of the New Year, 1944. I don't
make resolutions but I plan to
be kind to my neighbors and
hope that you will, too. If
enough of us do this, the New
Year will be happy, bright and
prosperous. This is the least
we can do, but we are so prone
to overlook the everyday little
things. No one Is ever too
young or too old to appreciate
a pat on the back.
''When I was a boy T could
go to the woods and pick up
all the chestnuts I wanted. We
boiled them, roasted them, ate
them raw and used them In
"stuffing" for turkeys and
chickens. Is there any chance
that we will ever have the op
portunity to do this again?"
This query makes me real
homesick for I could do the same
thing. However, the chances for
a come-back of the native chest
nut look Indeed slim. We still
have the ghostly, mute re
minders In our woodlands but
so far no native chestnuts re
slstant tp the blight, which des
troyed them, have been develop
ed. Some sprouts from diseased
trees that have survived long
enough to bear a few nuts, seem
to be doomed to follow the
path of their ancestors.
We do have the Asiatic
species. Of these the Chinese
types seem to be superior to
other Astatic chestnuts. Your
nurseryman can supply your
needs If you want to try them.
For the lower Piedmont and
; eastern Carolina?readers, 1
i want to remind you about the
! Importance of fertilizing your
I pecan trees. We had a good
crop last year but many were
| small. Then, too, an annual
i application of fertilizer will
| promote annual bearing of the
I trees. Neglected trees have a
tendency to bear every other
I year because they cannot store
| enough food In the "on" year
to produce the "off" year un
less you feed them.
Have your soil tested and, If
necessary, add enough doloml
tlc limestone to raise the
pH to 6.0. In late February
or early March, fertilize the
tree* with an 8-8-1 mixture.
Ues about 3 lbs. per Inch of
tree diameter measured about
X ft. above the ground level.
If your trees can be cultivat
ed, the fertilizer should be
worked In the soli.
If trees are growing In your
yard, the fertilizer should
be placed deep. Use a crow
bar, or the axle of a car, to make
the holes. Stagger the holes
around the tree Just under the
drip of the branches. Divide
the amount of fertilizer needed
for the tree and place In the
holes, uniformly, around the
trees.
