Extension Department Minnie Lee Garrison, Home Agt. GARDEN NOTES FOR MONTH OF NOVEMBER November is a good time to have a general garden clean-up. Burn all diseased plants and make a compost heap from^ manure and garden refuse which is free from disease. Do not burn fallen leaves. Add them to the compost pile. Plow unoccupied portions of the garden and leave exposed to the freezing and thawing- of winter weather. If the garden is minus an as paragus bed, or if the old bed has run out, now is the time to get crowns for a new bed. Plant vig orous one year old crowns in fur rows 8 to 12 inches deep and cover to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. In most sections of the state cab bage plants may be set now for' the early spring crop. Lettuce seed may be sown in cold frames and 1 the plants carried through the winter months for early spring heading. Cold frames and hot beds should be repaired and put in order for the winter garden. In case you have not yet added these garden 'helpers to your list of equipment, by all means try them out on a small scale this year. Let's keep in mind the value of fresh vegetables in the family diet and see that all crops which will not keep out of doors are properly stored. FARM PROGRAM AVAILABLE IN PRINTED FORM Raleigh, Nov. 8.— The program of diversified farming adopted this fall by the agricultural extension service as its ideal of work for the coming months and years is now available in printed form. The program was supplied to the press of the state in a condensed form during October. The program was given further publicity through the columns of Extension Farm News, the official publication of the ex tension service, and now it has been printed in an edition of 10, 000 copies for further distribution to those who are interested in profitable farming in North Caro Agricultural workers of State College say that there is nothing startling- about the program nor is there so much that is new' to the farmers of this state. The pro gram simply gives voice to those principles which have guided the extension workers for a number of years. The facts given in the pro gram have been established by successful farmers who have work ed with the county agents and ex tension specialists and in some, cases, the best landowners of en tire counties have followed the ideas which the program embod ies. # t I he program pleads for a sound diversification of crops. It calls for the growing of grain and hay. It emphasizes the importance of a year-around garden and it shows the profits which may be expected by that farmer who has his own poultry, his hogs, and his dairy cow in addition to the usual cash crops which he grows. The pro gram shows the profits to be made from cotton when rightly handled and planted on fertile soil and it points out that every farm should have a difinite rotation of crops in which legumes are includ ed for soil improvement. Since the program was announc ed, the extension service has re ceived letters of endorsemnt from many leading citizens, from the de velopment service of industrial or ganizations, from farm journals, from bankers and from farmers, all of whom pledge their efforts to assist in promoting- the ideas which the program embodies. The earth owes its youthfulness at such a great age to the fact that it never keeps late hours. LATE .COVER CROPS MAY BE PLANTED Raleigh, Nov. 8.—It is too late in November to plant crimson clover with any hope of success with the crop during the next two or three weeks, such crops as Ab luzzi rye ana vetch may be sown with profit. These two crops Will produce good hay for next year when planted by the last of No vember. Oats or barley may also be planted in the Coastal Plain section of the state. “In addition to the usual funda mental reasons for planting cover crops, there are some special rea sons why they should be planted this year,” says E. C. Blair, ex tension agronomist at State Col lege. ‘‘The fundamental reasons hold good for any year because the soil needs crops which add fertili ty, which prevent erosion and which store up plant food for the use of the succeeding money crop. Hay and grain is always needed on any farm This year, however, Abruzzi rye seed is lower in price than it has been before, while oats and barley are lower in price than in many years. Vetch is only very slightly higher than last year.” The second special reason which Mr. Blair assigns for an increased planting oi cover crops is the need to follow a live-at-home program in the cotton growing sections of the state. Common sense dictates that cotton farmers, especially, shall prepare to grow all their hay and feed crops. Fall planted cover crops provide plenty of hay to cut next spring and summer. The third reason is that the panic stricken cotton farmer will in many cases rush headlong into tobacco growing next season with the same disastrous results that have oc curred in cotton growing this year. The wise tobacco farmer, therefore, will insure his continued prosperi ty by growing- his own food and feedstuffs, beginning now. NEUMONIA Afways call a physician.

It ran some thing like this: “Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown, What you gwine ter do when the rent comes round? What you gwine ter say? How you gwine ter pay, Jest keep on workin’ ’till Jedg ment Day, Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown?” Urtfortunatel nobody nowadays ' seems to be warning “Rufus Ras tus” at all. Nobody seems to be worrying about pay day any more. Everybody is buying on the install- i ment plan, and nobody seems to in quire what would happen if times ] should get hard or a suden panic or “deflation” (some folks seem j to think “deflation” a much nicer ! word than “panic”) should hit this i country. The thought came to mind as : we just heard the story of a far- \ mer who bought a flivver and mortgaged two mules and a cow to j pay for it. One mule died and the mortgage sent for and took the other mule and the cow. the cow being the main source of living for the famil. This, of course, is an exagger ated case, but it shows the ex tremes to which people are going in buying on the “installment plan,” or as the darkies call it, “the insolvent plan.” The next time you are tempted to buy something you might get along without, why not sing a stanza of "Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown”—and then practice a little DR.

Pay days always come, and whenever we oblgiate ourselves to too many pay days covering too long a period of time, some of those pay days will almost surejy find us seriously uncom fortable.
