' The sides of the pile should be kept vertical (temporary wire fencing that can be moved away later, makes 'this easier), and the top should be level or slightly lower in the center to catch and hold moisture. In dry seasons, sprinkle the pile to keep It moist The compost you build this year will be ready for use next year, or possibly sooner, depending upon the raw material you use. says Mr. Fagg. For a constant supply, compost gardeners find it con venient to keep two piles ? one to build upon while the previous one is being used.

In doing this, you can observe how near your compost is to being ready for use. In using compost, mix with ad ditional soil, or with sand ?and soil.

Most often fanners are genuinely sur prised that they are able to pro duce really oustanding yields. The farm agent announced that the contest this year is beln^ sponsored by the N. C. Seedmen's Association. The association will award a $50 savings bond each to the winners in the junior division from the mountains, the pied mont. and the coastal plain. The state wide adult winner will also receive a $50 bond. The producer of the state's highest yield, whether a junior or an 'adult, will receive a trophy. To enter the junior division a youth must not have pasted hia 21st birthday on Nov. 1, 1958.
