The Piedmont and mountain areas of North Carolina are es pecially suitable for the culture of bunch grapes, according to fruit specialists at N. C. State College With proper care, bunch grapes can also be grown successfully in the Coastal Plain region, even though this area is generally con sidered more adapted to Musca dine type grapes. Q. What are the fertilizer re quirements for ladino clover plant ed on soils containing different Hints To HOMEMAKERS By MISS RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent ? Good Shoe Care ? Research specialists say polishing leather shoes before wearing keeps them from rain-spotting and makes for better wear. This keeps the leather soft and leather needs nourishing. When polishing, wipe shoes with a dry cloth to remove surface dust and dirt. If they are muddy they should be allowed to dry, and then brushed. Put a little polish on a ' lightly dampened cloth, and rub well Into the leather. Rub with a dry cloth and then with a clean , cloth to make sure no color will j come off on stockings. For suede shoes, brush out all , dirt and dust with a wire brush. 1 Spray on a liquid suede polish, let dry, then brush up nap. For buck shoes, use liquid buck polish which penetrates the amounts of potash and phos phorus? A. On soils extremely deficient in phosphorus and high in potash, add 500-1.000 pounds superphos phate and 500 pounds 2-12-12 at seeding. If soils are medium in phosphate and potash, use 800 1,000 pounds 2-12-12. On soils high in phosphate and low in potash, use 50 pounds 2-12-12 and 150-200 pounds muriate of potash in the midsummer of the first growing season. Russian Realism In hiring an entertainer, a Sov iet radio executive said, "Boris, you're a wonderful comedian. We're giving you a lifetime con tract." "That's most kind of you," Boris replied, "but what if I turn sour?" "In that case," retorted the an nouncer, "we'll honor the contract but shorten your life." Tunnels Used For Things Other Than Mica Mining There are reasons besides mica and rubies for digging tunnels into Macon County earth. Apples are this man's reason. Harley L. Stanfield uses a large nature-refrigerated stor age area for hundreds of bush els of apples he grows in his orchards at Cullasaja. An apple placed In the earthen tunnel ? it's 130 feet long ? at picking time, in September, can be left . there until the following May { or June and when removed will be Just as good a piece of fruit. In fact, as an experiment, Mr. Stanfield once left some apples there I or two years. At the end of that period, the fruit was as perfectly preserved as the day it was put into the tunnel. More than one year Mr. Stan field has taken a load of his earliest - bearing apples (the Transparent variety), which ! come in June, and with the same load has taken apples put into his storage tunnel the pre vious fall. Let him tell the background of the tunnel. "Well, let me see; you have to- go back before the tunnel. I had a building I used for storing apples but it got in bad condition ? it was built into the side of a hill and the dirt got to pushing the planks out, and in the winter the dirt would freeze, besides ? well, anyway, I tore that building down. "When apple season came that year (1929) we could see we were going to have a mighty good crop and it was an early crop. I hadn't got my building up, and I didn't have the money j to build the kind I wanted, a concrete one. So, I decided I'd dig a tunnel. "My wife said it would take until the next -apple season to dig through that hill, but I thought otherwise. I dug it with a pick in 11 days.. Of course, I worked four or five hours after supper on some evenings but since that was all in the same day I count It as 11 days. "The boys had gotten some wagons for Christmas and they hauled a little dirt out for me but mostly I used a wheelbar row." The tunnel Is taller than a six foot man and has room for crates of apples on either side of a central aisle. The temper ature never gets low enough to I freeze the fruit nor high enough to cause it to soften or spoil. To move dead air out ? "None of my apples ever have that earthy taste which comes from 1 dead air"? Mr. Stanfleld has a . 40-inch exhaust fan mounted in ' a door at one end of the tun | nel. When needed, the fan is , turned on for a few minutes. Mr. Stanfleld grows 12 varie ties of apples and his annual i yield is about 2,000 bushels. Apple growing is a Stanfleld tradition. His father did it and his father's father did it. When the first Stanfleld harvested an apple it was none of the 12 varieties now grown by Harley L. Stanfleld. It had no fancy name like Striped Red Delicious, Black Twig, or Winter j Queen, it was called the "Culla saja" and apparently was a na ? tive of this region. Many old timers still ask for (t but they're few to be had at the Stanfield's. There are only two "Cullasaja" trees in the orch ard. Stanfield Munches An Apple leather. Let dry, then brush up a nap. Additional Care Hlnu ? Shoe ! trees are shoe savers. Tieed to keep them in shape, the shoe re shapes itself after wearing, as perspiration moisture is dryins out. After rain or snow wetting, j shoes fhould be dried naturally* and at room temperature 'awa> , from heat), and shoe trees used wiien the shoes are almost dry. Then give leather shoes a good polishing. Leather conditioners: The new; conditioners with silicone help to make shoes water repellent and* sq keep feet dry. These also con tain waxes and oils to keep leather supple. F ranklin MAIL SCHEDULES Outgoing ? Mail Closes South 8:30 a. m. South 3 p. m. East 2:45 p. m. Franklin Rf.D.'s 8:45 a. m. Incoming ?

Rain-Caused Forest Damage Set At $4,000 The month-long rains which lasted from late- January through most of February did an estimated $4,000 damage in Wayah District, U. 8. Forest Ranger William L. Nothstein said this week. Hardest hit was the Arrow wood Olade area where the footbridge from the bath house to the swimming pool was washed out and an intake cul vert for the pool ripped from its moorings. Ranger Nothstein j estimated the heavy concrete and metal Intake was dragged 200 yards by the flooding . waters. Other damages were spotted i throughout the district, he said. ! A bad washout occurred on a one-mile section of the Appa- ' lachian Trail, Just over the Ma- 1 con County line, in Swain Coun ty. Wesse'r Creek raged out of i its banks and cut a path through an old logging road to a depth of eight, feet or so. Ranger Nothstein saitt Forest Service crews have been making a new trail, above the old one. Not Safe A drunk boarded a two-decker bus and sat near the driver who he pestered with end'eas remarks To get rid of him the driver sug gested that he Ret some air on the upper deck. The drum clam bered up but soon ' returned . "What's the matter?" asked the driver. "Didn't you like it up there?" "S'fine." replied the souse, "but it ain't safe ? no driver." Headed That Way An Industrial accident occurred in an explosives factory and a workman near the center of the explosion was blown into the air. When things settled down a bit. nothing could be found of him After a careful search was made, the workman's boss called on the man's wife. "Your husband's gone, ma'am " "Gone?" questioned the wife in surprise. "For good?" "Yes'm, we think so. At least, he wds headed that way." SARGENT PAINTS Sossamon Furniture Co.
