THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVII. Number 21. "JOE BEAVER" By Ed Nofziger Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture autumn turns the leaves to gold—but careless folks can turn the leaves to flame!" Attention , Ladies: Here Is Information on Bulbs By Robert Schmidt Spring flowering bulbs are now much in evidence in seed stores, hardware stores and chain sores. October and Navember are the best months to plant these in most sections of the State, but make your selections and buy your bulbs early before they are picked over. There are many kinds and varie ties to choose from, the older ones being as a rule cheaper than new varieties and in many cases more reliable. Double-nosed narcissus bulbs will give more blooms than will round bulbs, and if you haven’t grown it before, be sure to in clude a few bulbs of the “Golden Harvest” variety. It is one of the best of the moderately priced large trumpet daffodils and is fragrant too. How to Plant Them All of these bulbs should be planted in well-drained soil. Some times it helps to put a layer of sand or fire cinders under the bulbs. Fertilization is important but no fertilizer should come into contact with the bulbs. Bone meal is often recommended because it is slowly utilized and, therefore, seldom causes damage even where it comes in direct contact with the bulbs. However, a complete gar den fertilizer is preferable if care is used to keep it from coming in 25th Infantry Division Promotes Local Man In Struggle in Korea Theodore Medlin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Medlin Route 2, Zebulon, recently was promot ed to sergeant first class while serving with the 25th Infantry Division on the fighting front in Korea. The division, a veteran unit of the war in Korea, has been in ac tion since July of 1950. Sergeant Medlin is a mess ser geant in the 25th Division’s 27th Infantry Regiment. He has been in Korea seven months and has been awarded the Combat Infantryman’s Badge. to contaat. Depth of planting va ries with the kind of bulb and type of soil. In sandy soil bulbs may be planted deeper than in heavy day soils. Lilies should be planted 8 to 10 inches deep, ex cept Madonna or Ascension lilies which must be only about 2 in ches below the surface. Narcissi (daffodils) should be 6 to 7 inches deep, tulips 4-5 inches, Hyacinths 5 inches, Dutch Iris 4 inches and Ciocus 2 inches deep. Dutch and Spanish iris will come up this fall. Don’t be alarmed; it is their natural habit to do this. They are usually not damaged by the winter weather. I want to measure my timber. Can you tell me how to use a tree scale stick to measure the timber? A simple illustrated folder on “How to Use the Log and Tree Sca’e Stick” has just been published by the State College Extension Service. It is issued as Extension Folder No. 85. You can get a free copy from your county agent or by writing the Department of Publications, N. C. State College, Raleigh. In the past I have had some trouble with my milk cow’s feed ing; how should she be fed immediately after calving? Dairy specialists say a warm bran mash given just after calving may help to keep the digestive system functioning properly. Unless complications interfere, it is important to get the cow on full feed as soon after calving as is reasonably possible. After the calving day, increase the grain gradually. Be careful not to throw the cow off feed. About three weeks is required to get high producers on their required feed allowance. It’s very important, say the specialists, that the calf receive colostrum milk for the first three days. However, it’s a good prac tice to remove the calf from the cow’s stall about 24 hours after birth to prevent the calf from getting too much milk. The calf’s navel should be disinfected with tincture of iodine soon after birth to guard against infection. I have some cut-over land I would like to put into trees again, but I want a faster tree crop than pines. Is there one? The state nursery at Clayton offers many varieties of pine other than long leaf; but practically all native varieties produce pulpwood in a relatively short time. Many farmers have had good luck taking the cedar seedlings offered at Clayton and growing them for sale as Christmas trees. The cedar is growing in popularity as a Yule tree, and can often be harvested in three to four years. Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, Nov. 27, 1951 Chamber to Give Prizes for Best Yule Decorations Cash prizes for the best deco rated homes and businesses will be offered this Christmas by the Zeb ulon Chamber of Commerce to promote more beauty in the Zeb ulon Community.
