Good sea soning Is the reason (or many food favorites. Try these: bay leaf and cloves in the water to boil smoked ham, garlic rubbed on salad bowl or garlic butter on heated French bread, sliced onions and celery on top of pot roast, or a little horseradish in tomato juice. Seasonings cost little yet make treats of plain foods. When food is well-seasoned there is less need for expensive extras as olives, pickles, relishes. Desserts are a pleasant finish to the meal and simple ones are not extravagant when they give Important food value, such as all kinds of fruit, especially those in season; ice cream served in a variety of ways; puddings, pies, cakes and cookies, using milk, eggs, and fruits.

Ma chine washing and bleaching is recommended when possible as the most effective way to launder white nylon. Why not do an ex periment for proof testing? In drip drying, be sure to hang garments on non-stalnlg hanger. For best results, garments should be removed from machine while just slightly damp and hung on non-staining hanger. Never leave nylons in the machine dryer after the drying time is completed. If touch-up Ironing Is desired, set the iron on rayon setting. There are excellent bleaches and detergents on the market now. Read carefully the labels for good results. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. I want to select the best tobacco plant bed site possible this year. Do you have any tips? A. Select a deep fertile loamy soil that will warm up quickly. Avoid heavy clay soils that bake or crust easily, especially when cyanamid, or urea and cyanamid is used. The soil should be well drained, but not one that dries out too quickly. Avoid dry ridges. The bed should be located near a convenient water supply. A soil ? high in organic matter seems to J be helpful in getting good stands and promoting growtn. Q. When using new ground for a tobacco plant bed don't you have a lot of trouble rrom weeds? A. Usually, yes. But good plants, with not too much weed trouble, are being produced by using methyl bromide in the fall or win ter at the rate of nine pounds per 100 square yapds. This chemi cal also gives good nematode con trol. It Is used as a gas and must be kept in contact with the soil for 24 to 36 hours with a gas-tight cover. Q. Just what seeding rate is suggested for tobacco plant beds? A. The exact seeding rate will depend on just how well the bed is prepared and how well It will be managed. The suggested rate Is one-fourth ounce per 100 square yards where average management is provided. Many growers are finding that they can get good stands with as little as one-sixth ounce per 100 square yards if the beds are smoothed before seeding, well managed, and watered at seed germination time. Garden Time ... By M. E. GARDNER The question is frequently ask ed: What do we mean when we speak of soil pH? Simply stated, it refers to the relative acidity (sourness) or alkalinity (sweet ness) of the soil. The pH of the soil directly affects the growth of all plants and this is the reason lime is needed for some and not for others. If we apply a set of values to the pH range, from 4 to 10, we can state the ranges as follows: 4 to 5.5, strongly acid; 5.5 to 6.5, slightly acid; 6.5 to 7.5 neutral; and above 7.5 alkaline. It is common knowledge that the azalea and the camellia re quire acid soils, with the azalea being more tolerant of acid con ditions than the camellia. Apply ing the scale already given, the azalea would fall In the range be tween 4.8 and 5.7 and the camel lia between 5.0 and 6.0. This is getting a little technical, but it illustrates my point. Since the ranges are not significantly dif ferent, both plants are usually grown in the same general area. On the other side of the picture we find that legumes, such as al falfa and sweet clover, require a pH range of from 6.5 to 7.5. Spin ach, often used as a test plant. 6.3 to 7.3; gardenia, the same as camellia; cabbage, 6.0 to 7.0; to mato. 5.3 to 6.3; Irish potato, 5.0 to 5.7; sweet corn, 5.5 to 6.7; and so on down the line of plants.

Goforth, Pastor HIGHLANDS ROAD V2 Mile from Franklin The Week of January 13th PLEASE COME! to make them more acid. How- . ever, you should never attempt to amend your soils until you first have them tested. The t?st will not only determine the pH but also organic matter content and the essential available nutrient elements such as nitrogen, phos phorous, and potash. Your county agent, vocational teacher, or the . Soil Conservation Service in your- ( county will be glad to help you. Some of them can run a quick , test for pH, but for complete an- , alysis, the samples should be prop erly collected and sent to the Soi( Testing Laboratory, State Depart- j ment of Agriculture. Raleigh, N. C. Sample boxes are available in the county agent's office with complete instructions for collect ing and mailing. ' I wonder if we really appreciate the time required to produce a ( new variety of fruit, vegetable, or , flower: selecting the parents; ] making the cross; collecting ana ? storing seed; planting the seed; selecting plants resulting rrom the cross; protecting from insects and diseases; evaluating and test- < ing. How long does it take? From six to 15 years depending upon the type of plant you are working with. What does it require? The skill and training of a plant breeder and lots of patience. Since you are only interested in the end pro duct, we will discuss some more new developments as we did ror roses two weeks ago. First, some "All-America" vege table selections for 1958.
