LILAC PROBLEMS
A lady called about her lilac
plants. She told me that they
were strong plants when set
and that she used peat and
sand mixed with her red clay
when they were planted. Nov/
she says that they are old
enough to bloorn but only one
rather weak bloom has ap
peared,
ntedq-jlya
Lilacs prefer a deep, rich
soil and one that is not too
acid. I suggested that she have
her soil tested and use enough
lime to raise the pH to about
6.5 or 7.0. Also, that she fer
tilize the plants with a good
general purpose fertilizer such
as 8-8-8.
Generally speaking, lilacs
seem to grow better in the up
per Piedmont and mountains
than in the lower Piedmont
and eastern Carolina. They do
especially well in “limestone
country.”
Azalea Not Growing
Another lady was worried
about a nice azalea (Indica)
plant which was not growing
as it should. I stopped bv to
see this plant. It was healthy
enough but was rather flat-
topped as the terminal shoots
were not elongating as they
should.
After examining the plant 1
decided that it had been plant
ed too deep. In addition, it
was heavily mulched with
leaves. This did not pose much
of a problem because the plan
was easily raised a little vnth
a round pointed shovel and a
little extra care.
Azaleas, rhododendrons,
camellias, blueberries and oth-
plants in this group are

comparatively shallow rooted
and will not tolerate deep
planting. If the plants are ball
ed and burlapped the top of
the ball should be set even
with the soil line and then
mulched. The same is true for
container grown plants. Pine
straw is better than leaves 'or
peat because water penetrates
more easily .
Mow Lawn RecifularI(T
Mow your lawn regularly.
This is very important. Set
the mower to cut the blades
of grass at about one and one-
half to two inches. This is best
for most grasses. Bermuda,
Zoysia and other “warm sea
son” grasses may be cut clos
er. .
You may have wet spots m
your lawn which need aera
ting. If the spots are not too
large, this job may be accom.-
plished by forcing a spading
fork into the soil to a depth of
three or four inches. Oxygen
is essential for proper root
growth 'on all plants. If you
think poor soil aeration may
be a problem in your lawn,
mechanical aerators may be
rented; or you might contact
rented; or you might contact
your local yard maintenance
man for help.
From World War I
Frank Swan of Andrews and
Bob Sloan of Fontana Dam
are reunion co-chairmen.
Swan has been particularly'
gratified at the large number
of World War I survivors who
have indicated they plan to at
tend. Because of their age,
many will be flying in, with
one reservation on hand from
as far away as South Dakota.
Host for the gathering will
be the Tar Heel Chapter of the
30th Infantry Division Associ
ation. Officers are President
E. L. Hollowell of Edenton,
and Secretary J. B. Liles of
Raleigh. Captain Frank Swan
of Andrews is Vice president
in addition to being reunion
co-chairman.
The 30th Division, originally
made up of national guards
men of North and South Caro
lina, Georgia and Tennessee,
distinguished itself during
World War I with a break
through of the Hindenburg
Line. During the second World
War it was given the acco
lade of being the “Workhorse
of the Western Front” by war
correspondent Hal Boyle. The
Division landed in France in
June, 1944, shortly after D-
Day, and remained in combat
until it reached Magdeburg,
Germany, in one of the deepest
penetrations of Germany by
the American Army.
The 30th Division continues
as North Carolina’s National
Guard division, with a unit
headquartered at the armory
here.
Major John Craig, historian
and writer of Charlote, will
attend. To augment his collec
tion of human interest anec
dotes he plans to use in a per
sonal narrative of World War
II, when he served as Provost
Marshal of the Old Hickory
Division. One of his anecdotes
regarding Col. Howell
Hatcher, formerly of the 30th
Division, appeared in the
April issue of the Reader’s
Digest.
De-emphasis On Business
The reunion will be primari
ly a gathering of 'old friends,
with their children and grand
children, with a de-emphasis
on business sessions, accord
ing to co-chairman Sloan. In
lieu of the traditional banquet'
at such affairs, a lakeshore
charcoal broiled steak cook
out will be held across Fon
tana Lake in the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park.
Col. James W. Perkins, Ad
jutant General of the 3uth
during World War H, present
ly living in Nashville, Tennes
see, will also be present, as
will some of the World War I
commanders, including Major
W. H. Hyde who commanded
the 113th MG Battalion dur
ing the first World War.
This will be the first large
gathering of World War I sur
vivors .since their 1936 reunion
held in South Carolina.
General Hobbs Dies
All W'orld War II veterans
were saddened to learn that
Major General Leland S.
Hobbs, division commander in
the European Theater during
World War II, died March 6,
at the age of 74. A special me
morial service will be held in
his memory, at a short busi-
nes session Saturday after
noon, May 21.

NEMATODES
A decade or so ago North
Carolina farmers had only-
limited knowledge of nema
todes, worm-like organisms
microscopic in size but dy
namic in terms of damage
they can inflict on tobacco
and other crops. Today, the
farmer knows about these soil-
borne pests and the millions
of dollars in damage they in
flict each year. What’s more
important, the farmer now
knows how to combat these
nematodes.
