Fall Work In
Flower Garden
One who would have spring
flowers should make preparation
for them in early fall. All glass,
weeds and rubbish from dead or I
lading summer flowering plants j
and shrubs must be removed.
A selection of the flowers to be
grown and the location of beds and
borders must next be decoded up
on.
If the soil is heavy, compost
from the horse stables will loosen
it. If soil is light, fertilizer from
cow stables is to be preferred.
This compost should be spread lib
rallv. several inches deep, over the
beds and borders, and dug tho
roughly into the soil, then left to
be settled by rain before being
planted. The fine seeds of poppy,
larkspur. eorreopsis. calliopsis
phlox, alyssum, petunia, portulaca,
etc., should be mixed with their
bulk of fine sand, scattered over
the prepared beds, and lightly rak
ed in or put in the bed just be fore
a rain. The poppies and larkspur
can be mixed and sowed together.
Perennials planted in the Dill pro
duce flowers year after year, dy
ing down in winter and coming up
early in spring. From these and
bulbs come earliest flowers.
When daffodils, narcissi, hya
cinths, tulips and lilies bloom, they
are desired by many people who
seem to forget that in order to
have these beauties planting must
be done in the fall. A bed .such as
that already described will also be
suitable for bulbs, but a handful of
sand must be placed in each hole;
for if the bulb comes in contact,
with manure, it will rot.
Another way is to mix a liberal
amount of woods dirt with good
garden soil, set bulbs, and cover
bed with several inches of well
rotted compost placed on top of
soil. Thorough and early prepara
tion is half the battle in growing
flowers.
Fertilizing Grain
Fertilizer applied to small grains
will return a good profit to the
farmer when the crop sells for any
things like a fair price.
Experiments conducted with
wheat at the Piedmont branch sla
tion near Statesville have defi
nitely proved the cash value of
good fertilizer, said C. B. Williams
head of the State College agrorio
omy department.
Over a period of 11 years it
was found tihat when 200 pounds
of good fertilizer were applied to
the acre, the increased yield over
the non-fertilized fields paid for
the fertilizer and gave an average
extra profit of $5.86 per acre
When 400 pounds were applied
the extra profit was $14.32 above
! fertilizer costs. A 600-pound ap
plication produced a gain of $15.42
and an 800-pound application gave
a profit of $17.36 an acre above
the cost of the fertilizer
The exact amount of the gain to
be df rived from fertilizat ion de
oends of course, upon the individ
ual farmer’s soil, weather condi
tions. cost of production, and price
j of grain on the market.
O" average Cecil clay or clay
loam soils of the Piedmont area,
he recommended a fertilizer mix
ture containing 10 per c-dnt avail
able phosphoric ncid. 41 percent
nitrogen, and 4 per cent potash.
From 300 to 400 pounds per acre
should tie applied when tht < rops
are seeded.
Where the soil is good, or where
it has been fertilized with manure,
or where legumes have tx-en plow
ed under, the percentage of nitro
gen in the mixture may be reduced
or even left out. Piedmont soils
in average condition need at least
4 percent nitrogen, he added
N. B. The loeal fertilizer plant
in Zebu lon will supply farmers of
this section with specially prepared
fertilizer for small grains and fall
gardens.

are issued no certificates will be
i sued except the landlords own

Transferring Old Certificates
Any cotton producer who holds
I old 1934 certificates that were not
used on liis crop last year must
have them transferred in the Coun
ty Agent’s office before he .can
use them on the 1935 crop. Un
'< ss these certificates are trans
ferred for new certificates they
w ill lie a dead loss to the grower
since they will not be accepted at
the gin. Ovei 100 producers in
the county have already turned
in their certificates and they have
been forwarded to Washington
where they will be replaced for
this year’s certificates.
Proof of Compliance Necessary
It is very important that each
producer see that his cotton land
has been measured and completed
correctly as no tax exempt certi
ficate will be issued until the pro
ducers compliance measurements
have been checked as correct in
the County l Agent’s office. This
matter is urgen and should be at
tended to at once. If you have any
difficulty with this in this matter
see your township committeemen
or call at the County Agent’s of
fice in regard to same.
1935 Cotton Sold
The first cotton on the market
from this year’s crop has been sold
at Wadesboro. To date the gov
ernment has not made a definite
announcement as to loans on the
1935 crop. Farmers in this state
received more than $5,000,000 in
benefit payments on cotton for the
year ending July 1.
We spend 11 billion dollars an
nually trying to prevent and sup
press crimei Whic is more than
was loaned to the Allies during the
World War.
