Plant Bulbs in Fall
For Best Flowers
Flowering bulbs which make the
gajjlon beautiful In spring do best
when planted In October In North
Carolina and must have a fertile,
loamy soil filled with plant food.
"There is nothing difficult In
growing the common hardy bulbs
which make the garden a pleasing
display early next spring," Shys
Glenn O. Randall, floriculturist at
the North Carolina State College.
?The first thing to do* is to have a
good garden soil. Most folks know
what this means. The soil should
be worked Into good physical con
dition so that It is soft' and loamy
and not hard and cloddy or too
dandy. Then a plentful supply of
well-rotted manure Is needed. Ma
nure should never be used until it
I* thoroughly decayed. Then bone
meal is _a splendid commercial fer
Tankage might be
spring before growth
be?n put in
shape, plant the bulbs in October
or even as late as the first at No
vember in the eastern part of the
State, says Mr. Randall. The im
portant thing is to give the bulbs
ample time to develop a. good root
system before extreme cold weather.
| Hie bulbs are Set five to six
inches deep with each bulb in solid
contact with the soil. Do not leave
an air space below the base of
the bulb. This checks develop
ment of the root system. The beet
flowers are secured where the root
system has had a chance to fully ;
develop and to use all the available ;
plant food. t ? . \
If these simple precautions are i
observed there is no reason why j
the gardener should not have beau
tiful flowering bulbs next spring.
jCan More Tomatoes
Before Season Closes
If every member of the family
does not have a minimum of nine
quarts of canned tomatoes for food !
this winter, more should be canned
before the season closes.
{ "Ripe tomatoes contain valuable
food elements that are necessary to
I good nutrition and when grown
and canned at home provide an In
expensive food," says 'Miss Mary
Thomas, extension specialist in nu
trition at State College. "Tomatoes
are valuable in the diet whether
raw, cooked or canned. They may
be substituted for oranges and they
rank with these as one of the rich
est sources of vitamin C. They are
superior to oranges as sources of
vitamins A, B, and O. This means
that the tomfatoes contain those
food elements which promote growth
and help to keep the tissues of
the eye, ear, nose and throat re- '
' distant to infection. They stimu- !
late- the appetite, aid in the diges
tlve processes and prevent pellagra.
Tomatoes should be eaten at least
three times a week throughout the
year."
In planning the supply needed by
the family this winter, be sure to
count in the baby, says Miss Thom
as. Babie grow better, show less
tendency to be anemic and develop
better teeth if vitamin C has. beep
I a part of their regular diet since
infancy. Every member of the
| family should have at least nine
quarts canned by now for use next
winter. If this amount has not
been canned, a new supply should
be conserved before the season is
gone.
Miss Thomas claims that no
other garden product is easier to
can nor may be used In such a
variety of ways. No other garden
product will do more to protect the
family health and pocket book
next winter.

a number of lespedeza growers In
piedmont Carolina who will pay old
debts, cancel mortgagee and build
oew buildings from the sale of les
pedeza seed, part of which they
have already contracted for at good
prices," said W. B. Darst, director
of the seed Improvement work at
State College, who has been out
with four men for the past several
weeks Inspecting tecfpedeza for seed
certification.
Mr. Dant says some 4,500 acres
of lespedeza will be inspected for
certification in that section <M the
State this year. This acreage will
produce about a million and a quar
ter pounds of seed and though all
of this will not 'pa&s the certifica
tion tests, much of it will. Mr. Dant
reports on one grower wv-0 is build
ing a new dairy barn and concrete
silo that be will pay for with his
seed money this year. His seed
has a value of $10,000 now. Another
man said he would pay an old note
for $6,000 because he had contract
ed to Mil his seed for *8,000. An
other said he will buy pn additional
farm this year and many others
told 'of their plans to clear up in
debtedness of long standing.
North Carolina is taking the lead
In growing lespedeza seed under
the certification guarantee and the
narket for the seed bids fair to
hold good for some years. Even
were there not a good market for
the seed, the crop plowed under
ndll double the yield of corn; will
prevent soil erosion; will make good
permanent pastures, and will great
ly increase the general fertility of
my farm on which it is grown,
said Mr. Darst.
Consider Health When
Preparing The Lunch
It is necessary to consider the
Food requirements of the school
:hild and the relation of this meal
to his other two meals when pre
paring the' school lunch.
"Each day a child needs certain
finds of foods and in certain
amounts," says Miss Mary Thomas,
Food specialist at State College.
'Each day the meals should ta
il ude at least one quart of milk in
some form, two servings of vege
tables In addition to potatoes, two
servings of fruit, one raw if pos
sible, cereal foods, ? serving of
meat, one egg, some fat, some
sweets and six to eight glasses of
rater. The progress a child makes
it school depends on his health and
tils health depends in large meas
ure upon the food be eats."
At all times, the mother in pre
paring a school lunch for her child
should think of this lunch as just
one of his three meals. For normal
nutrition, the child shouls have a
substantial breakfast. With only
j a scant breakfast and a "hot-dote"
lunch, the child cannot hope to have
a balanced ration by the evening
meal alone.
Miss Thomas says the well plan
ned luncheon has five important
ingredients. First, a substantial
Sandwich with a filling of meat,
cheese, egg, fish, peanut butter or
a substantial food with bread and
butter; second, a succulent food as
vegetable salad, vegetable sandwich,
raw or cooked vegetables : third,
milk In some form; fourth, fruit or
fruit Juices, and fifth, something !
sweet. Since all School lunches are
likely to be dry, it is well to have
one of the foods In the form of a
drink. This may be either milk,
cocoa, fruit Juice or tomato Juioe.
Miss Thomas also recommends
that the luncheon be packed well
and put up as attractively as pos
sible so that the child wtfl consume
it whether he feels like eating or
not.
As Pastures Decline
Feed The Cows More
As pastures decline and the grass- ,
es become tough and woody, the'
dairy cow needs an additional al
lowanee of both grain and forage.
.If this allowance Is gradually In-:
creased as the pastures fall, the
milk flow" will be maintained. If
not, dairymen will have a costly
Job trying to get the milk flow back
up to normal later on.
This Is the opinion of John A.
Arey, dairy extension specialist at
8tate College, who asktf dairymen in
all parts of the State to keep an
eye mi their pastures. Usually in '
September and October, the milk
flow begins to drop. The main
cause for this is that the grazing
is short and more fibre and less pro
tein are in the grasses. Where good
fall pasture, such as provided by
lespedeza or other legumes, is avail- .
able, the cows will provide an eco
nomical milk flow with only a light
grain ration if they are allowed to
graze day -and night.
Even then, he says, the animal
should have at least one pound of ;
grain to each four pounds of milk]
produced. This may be continued 1
until the grazing begins to fail,
when the grain should also be in- ;
creased. Mr. Arey says a good !
grain mixture for this season of the j
year and which is also suitable for
j winter feeding when plenty of le- ,
' gume hay Is available, is made up !
1 as follows: 400 pounds of corn meal,
1 300 pounds of cottonseed meal; <200
pounds of wheat bran, and 100
pounds of ground oats. One-half
! of this corn meal may be replaced
by crushed wheat or barley on
farms where these two are available

Her Man's Job
During the 1038 campaign Mr.
Hoover made a special appeal to
the woman voter and many of them
voted for him. He knew that as a
rule the wife bum 'or the family
and "her man's Job" was of prime
importance. When he promised
"her man's Job" would be secure,
the women was influenced.
In view of the fact that today
"her man's Job" has gone glimmer
ing for 6,000,000 women, It Is inter
citing to see exactly what Mr. :
Hoover promised In August 1928. In
his letter of acceptance, lie (aid:
"Every woman baa a right to adc '
whether , fier Me, her home, her
happiness, her man's Job, her hopes, (
will be assured by the continuance
of the Republicans in power ....
The Job of every man has been
made more secure. Unemployment 1
in the sence of distress is widely
disappearing.
One of the oldest and perhaps the
noblest of human aspirations has
been the abolition of poverty
