BOND
Quiz

Savings Bond?

if held to. maturity (ten. years).

hand!"

had been eating his chickens for
several days and requests that
hereafter, those who catch hawks

Beat Drought
With Fall Gardens
Since the recent drought dried
r O
up some pans oi summer gar
dens, the months of ' July and
August can be used to advantage
in planting as replacefents many
of the vegetables that were dam
aged by dry weather, says H. R.
Niswonger, extension horticultur
ist at N. C , State college.
Okra, tomatoes, lima and snap
beans may be planted with good
results in July, these vegetables
will supply needed ingredients for
canned soup mixtures in addition
to fresh vegetables for home use.
Seed for lettuce and celery plants
also should be sown in July.
Seed of broccoli, Chinese cab
bage and Swiss chard do best
when sown in the garden row and
later thanned out
Mustard, spinach and turnips
should be planted in August, along
with beets, carrots and rape. In
that month a second set of tomato
plants also might be set with
usually good result.
A good Fall garden depends
largely on how well the soil is
prepared for the job it will be
called upon to do. Good seed, espe
cially treated seed, are the best
guarantee against plant diseases
which take a big toll of garden
production each year. Seed plant
ed in the late summer should be
planted a little? deeper than that
planted in the Spring, tie fpecial-
Ut concluded.
