* 4-H Vegetables Grow
Into New Curb Market
Under the watchful eyes of three
Cumberland County 4-H club
members, projects in vegetable
gardening blossomed into some
thing more than quality vegeta
bles. Negro County Agent B. T.
McNeill says that Sylvia, Bernice,
and Clarence Hodges, working
with their father Jim Hodges, have
been able to make a good start
toward establishing a permanent
curb market on their farm near
Hope Mills.
About three years ago the
4-H’ers selected vegetable garden

Rice Reports
Barley Seed Is
In Good Supply
“Davie barley is superior to any
other barley now being grown in
the state,” says John C. Rice, di
rector of the North Carolina Crop
Improvement Association. The
seed supply is being built up by the
certified growers of the state, he
reports.
Almost three times as much
certified Davie Barley seed will
be available to small grain grow
ers for planting this fall as com
pared to last year. This season,
says Rice, over 3,000 bushels will
be available for planting.
Smut free clean seed was re
leased to the certified seed grow
ers by the N. C. Foundation Seed
Producers. Rice points out that
through rigid inspection of the N.
C. Crop Improvement Association,
certified seed of amut free Davis
variety will be available. Rice
adds that extensive demonstra
tions have shown that smut free
seed has yielded as much as 17
bushels more per acre over non
treated diseased seed.
The Davie variety is a cross of
Sunrise and Bolivia. It is a beard
less type similar to Colonial bar
ley. Rice' indicates that Davie is
more mildew and rust resistant
than Colonial 2, the latter grown
in many parts of the state. Davie
has good resistance to barley
scald, a disease that kills the
leaves; and in areas of the Pied
mont where scald is becoming a
problem. Davie outyields other
varieties, according to Rice.
Both Colonial 2 and Davie are
recommended and' certified, says
Rice. The yield record on Davie
has been similar to that of Colo
nial 2, but Rice feels that the ad
ditional disease resistance makes
it superior in those areas of the
state where mildew and rust are
problems. In winter hardiness,
adds Rice, Davie is equal to the
other recommended, barleys.

Senior, Junior Women
View Painter's Works
Those members of the Senior and
Junior Woman’s Clubs who did not
attend the Rembrandt showing at
the North Carolina State Art Muse
um Sunday missed the thrill of
their lives.
That is the consensus of opinion
by the members of the Senior and
Junior women who did attend.
This was the monthly meeting of
the Junior Club, and the Senior
Club women were guests. The
Senior club also counted this as
their regular meeting.
Mrs. Elwood Perry, program
chairman for the Junior Club for
the month of November, initiated
the idea of having the local Wo
man’s Clubs take a tour of the State
Art Museum for the purpose of
acquainting them with the prize
art treasures owned by our State.
As an extra added attraction
during the month of November
and December, the Museum has a
traveling show of the Rembrandt
oils and etchings.
Mrs .Perry said that too often we
visit other museums of art in dis
tant cities and are not even ac
quainted with the works of art
which our own State has.
The North Carolina State Art
Museum is considered by art offi
cials to be one of the most out
standing in the South.
Attending the showing were Mrs.
Ralph Bunn, Mrs. Charles Creech,
Mrs. Elwood Perry, Mrs. Arm
strong Cannady, Mrs. Ted Milam,
Mrs. Ed Ellington and Miss Ruby
Dawson, all of the Junior Club;
Mrs. F. E. Bunn, Mrs. E. H. Moser,*
Mrs. Foster Finch, Mrs. Fred Page,
Mrs. W. O. Glover, Mrs. Exum
Chamblee, Mrs. C. G. Weathersby
and Mrs. Irby Gill, all of the Sen
ior Club.
