Jack Oakie*s College 'No Stuay ?lan ' YOU can tell from the picture that Jack Oakie, radio and screen comedian, has just thought of a new way to increase enroll ment at his mythical Oakie Doakie College. “What we need is a new ‘no study’ plan,” he says. And Miss Penny, his secretary, thinks that’s just too, too wonderful. Oakie and his college are fea tured on Tuesday evening broad casts over Columbia’s coast-to-coast .network. Benny Goodman’s swing jt stars and best of real umioie.aduate musical talent se lected from colleges and universi ties throughout the country are also contributing to the success of this sensational air show.

SAYS NEWSPAPERS ARE BIG HELP TO FARMERS North Carolina farmers find their newspapers a valuable source of agricultural news and helpful infor mation, according to a statement by Dean I. O. Schaub, o fState Col lege. Papers in both the wekly and the daily gropus carry numerous stories keeping the farmer and his family posted on what is going on in the field of agriculture and home economics, he pointed out. Other stories give helpful sug gestions regarding wjiys of doing things on the farm and in the country home, the dean continued. A number of county farm and home agents over the State have reported that with few exceptions, the farm family getting ahead and and making the most of its oppor tunities is a family that reads newspapers regularly. COLI) FRAME IS AID TO HOME GARDENERS A cold frame will help gardeners get an early start with their early vegetables. Seed may be sown in shallow DA V ul MARCH, 1937 J boxes in the house, and after the plants come up they may be trans planted to a cold frame to harden bciore they are set out in the open garden or field. Niswonger said cabbage, couli flower, lettuce, tomato, pepper, eggplant, and other such vegetables may be started this vvay. The seed may be sown in shallow boxes the latter part of January or early in February, he continued. A cold frame resembles a tobac co seed bed, he said, although the ’two are not exactly alike. The wooden frame enclosing the bed should be 15 to 18 inches high along the back and 8 to 10 inches high along the front side. For the average home garden the bed should be 6 feet wide and 24 feet long. , Wires or wooden slats placed a cross the top o fthe bed will help hold the cover cloth off the plants. The cloth may be second-hand sash or bleached muslin. Muslin saturat ed with linseed oil will hold warmth in the bed and shed rain water. The cold frame should be located in a sunny place, facing the south. ! Six inches of good loam soil mixed with garden manijle should be placed within the frame. Plants may be transferred from the seed boxes to the frame when they have developed two leaves.! Set them two or four inches apart.! They may be transplanted to the j garden when they begin to crowd or when all danger of frost or freezing is past. Ventilation should be provided; even on cold days. As t he weather | gets warmer, the cover should b<‘ rolled back a little more each day to harden the young plants. They should be watered on mornings when the temperature is rising.
