THUR1DAY, MARCH 10, 1131 TIIB FRANKLIN PRHI AND THI HIGHLAND MACONf AN PAGE FIVE i r isning Licenses 1938 Are Now On Sale In County RALEIGH, March 9. With the tang of spring already in the air and the thoughts of sportsmen turning to their reels and rods, the game and inland fishing division of the department of conservation and development announces that the new 1938 fishing licenses are now on sale. It is also putting out the gentle reminder that no person is allowed to fish in the inland waters of the state without 'a state fishing license, which costs $2.10, except boys and girls under 16 years of age, or unless fishing is confined to the home county of the angler in those sections where no county licenses are required. In the mountain counties the trout season will begin April 15 and small-mouth bass fishing opens June 10. Other mountain fishing seasons are open until April 15, when they will close during the spawning period until June 10, The 1938 state, fishing, license is oval, in shape and is made of chromium and black enamel. Each license is numbered, the number being stamped on the . strip of chromium running across it. Along the upper Tim of the license are the words "State Resident Fishing License" under which is the like ness of a fish jumping, out of the water with a line in its mouth. Be' low the serial numbers, an the low- er portion of the license, are the words "North Carolina, 1938,r. The license has a pin back so that' it may be pinned to .a shirt, coat or hat. It is regarded as one of the most attractive fishing licenses ever devised by the game and inland fishing division. Non-resident fishing licenses may also be obtained, at a cost of $5.10 a year, or non-resident daily fish ing permits may be had for $1.10 a day. Resident daily fishing permits are only 60' cents a day. The com bination resident himting and' fish ing license may also be obtained for $3.10, a saving of $1.00 over the two purchased separately. Better fishing shoukf be in pros pect this spring arid summer than in several years, the division be leives as a result of the extensive restocking program of the past sev eral years and the benefits derived from the establishment' of natural spawning areas on large clear wat er streams. Fishing licenses may be obtained in Macon county at the following places: Macon County Supply Co., and Leach Bros., Franklin;' Highlands Hardware Co., Highlands; J. D. Burnette, Scaly; Mrs. Frank Phil lips, Rainbow Springs; L. H. Jac obs, Aquone; M. V, Morgan, Kyle; Clint May, Flats. Facsimile of 1938 j Fishing License Weaver Gives Method For Starting Annuals Although it is not yet time . to plant annual flowering plants in the open, gardeners who desire early Jilooms should soon start their seed in protected bels or sunny windows, according to J. G. Weaver, floriculturist at State college. ', The slower growing and smaller seeded annuals such as petunias, snapdragons, tor.enias, and verbenas s'hould be started, between Marctt i and March 15. The larger seeded annuals such as cosmos, zinnias, asters, marigolds, and scabiosas grow much quicker and should not be. planted so early.. If a hotbed or coldframe is not available, a small box or shallow pot will answer the purpose if plac ed in a sunny window.. Veaver explained that the '! soil mixture is one of the most impor tant factors. A mixture ' that will drain satisfactorily,: hold sufficient moisture and will not bake is ideal. This mixture can be secured toy combining and screening one part of garden . soil, one part clean creek sand, and one part leaf mold. For the smaller seeded varieties, it is best to sterilize the soil with heat. This, can be done by putting the' mixed soil and an Irish potato in a deep dish and baking in an oven. . When the potato is cooked, the soil is ready; This treatment kills all weed seed and harmful organisms, present. . : .; In planting, coarse material should be used in the bottom of the con tainer and the treated soil placed on top of .this. After firming, the seed should be sown thinly and evenly over the' surface and press ed in with a block. The seed should be covered only lightly by sifting a smalls amount of soil through, a screen.. ; . Water is supplied by placing the pot or box irt a deep pan of water. After, the seedlings are. up, they can be -transferred to other boxes er beds until large enough to . set m the open. Portals of Pacific Exposition mmmm Hill ' ' I s if8' ' hens.

The success of these substitutions, however, depend up on the regularity in feeding the milk and unless there is an .ample supply available at all times no substitutions should be made. Q. How can I get rid of white grubs" in my- tobacco plant bed? A. A poisoned bait, made with 25 pounds of wheat bran, one pound ot I'ans green and enough water to moisten has given good results.

TEA TESTER Credit Association Expects Business Increase An increase in membership and volume of business this year is ex pected by the Asheville Produc tion Credit Association, which ' serves Avery, Buncombe,. Burke, Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madi son, McDowell, Mitchell, Swain, Transylvania, and Yancey, accord jng to W. H. Overall, secretary ftreasurer, who says that many farmers have alnady made arrange ments for their short-term credit meeds for this year through this farmers' cooperative organization. The record of the Asheville as sociation to date Is one of steady progress, Mr. Overall said. In 1934, the first year it operated, it had 78 members. Last year it served 406 members. In 1934 it made loans totalling $18,618, and its volume 'has increased each year, In 1937 it made loans totalling $67,743. 1 In 1934 the asociation did not have any reserve. It now has a reserve of $4,320. Members of the associations now own $4,465 worth of stock in the association. "Each year has thus been one of progress," said Mr. Overall, "and; as more and more of our farmers learn of the short-term credit serv ice which we have to offer them we expect the membership and volume of business of the associa--tion to continue to grow.' Our as; sociaiion maKes loans to taTmers Farmers Find March Is Important Month "March, the month in which we begin to plant crops in a big-way, is also' the month in which 'crops planted last fall really begin to grow said E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State ccJloge. , This makes March doubly im portant in determining the success of the ' year's' farming operations. Here 'are a few of Blair's sugges tions for making the most of this month: Drill in red clover and sweet clover seed at the rate of six pounds of the former or 10 pounds of the latter per acre. Superphos phate, basic ; slag, or ' ground lime stone should be drilled in with the .seed. Pastures may be seeded at Vhis time. Scarify the land with a disk or spike-tooth harrow and either broadcast or drill in the seed Aft er scarifying old pastures, apply one-half to one t6n of limestone per acre, before seeding. Add " 200 pounds of good, complete fertilizer at time of seeding. Small grains s6wn last fall should 4e top-dressed as early in March as possible. The corn bud worm is usually at its. worst in April. To avoid the worm, plant corn . either in the latter part of March or wait until May if the land.' is infested with this ..pest, . , Annual. Corn Contest Promotes- Better Farming Rapidly becoming 'known over North Carolina, as the leading evtnt ,of its kind in the state,, the Henderson-1 ransylvarua corn grow ' Among: the many tea testers as sembled by. Uncle Sam in New York recently was Robert Lewis. Mr Lewis sampled many brands of tea which will determine the standards for 20,000,000,000 cups of the bever age to be consumed by Americans in 1938. One of them, at least, didn't make a hit with Mr. Lewis. It's the one he is shown holding and disliking. trig', contest' is not only promotinc the ' production of hicrh acre vields not only for production purposes of com in the two counties but is but for almost every purpose forj also j stimulating more balanced and wnicn a iarmer neeas snort-term succe.sstui; tarming of all kinds. creait,' Agent J. A. Glazener of Transyl vania and G. D. White of ' Hender son two years ago. Since that time, the farmers of the rwo counties have vied with each other to pro duce more corn per acre in their respective counties and to win over contestants in the opposing county. Approximately 60 men and boys have entered each of the contests. The acreage1 is' carefully checked and' measured while the corn pro: duced is carefully weighed,' A silver trophy cup is awarded the person producing ' the highest yield for both counties and $100 im cash prizes is distributed to contestants in each county. .. ' ' In addition, a corn show is held in the county winning the contest where prizes are given for the best exhibits of corn and for those proving- to be the best judges of corn samples. Valuable merchandise and. fertilizing materials are donated for this purpose. Henderson county won the con test for 1937 with a yield by J. D. Hopper of 176 bushels and 50 pounds. Hendersonville therefore was awarded the corn show and the annual banquet. More than 150 civic, political and farm leaders at tended when the honors were dis tributed on February 19. The two county agents report that the use of pure bred seed has increased by 300 per cent since the contest was started. In ; addition, new ideas about many approved farming practices have baeen gain ed. And the movement is just get ting under way, they' say. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. 'Why is it that my 10-year old 'scuppernong vines bear no fruit', and how can 1 correct the trouble? . Aa Practically all varieties of muscadine grapes now grown are sterile and must be pollinated bv Thte contest was begun byCounty a male vine before they will bear fruit. As your vines were propa gated from a productive plant it will be necessary that you plant a male vine for pollen! These male vines may be secured from many commercial nurseries and one male vine should tbe planted for each 10 plants. Male plants produce pol len, but dp ,not bear fruit, and it is necessary that the bearing vines be pollinated before they vill fruit: Q. Can skim milk or buttermilk be substituted for dried milk or other products in the laying mash? A. Skim milk (clabber) or; but termilk may 6e used in place of the dried milk products at the rate of one gallon of milk to each 100 -SIGNS- FOR EVERY PURPOSE W. L.
