FAGS POUR BEST TIME TO SET FLOWER PLANTS Plants Should Be Set Early Enough To Withstand Freezing Weather Perennial plants that were seeded in July or August now have the sec ond set of leaves and should be trans planted in cold frames, small pots, or in a permanent location. "This latter practice may be fol lowed in the lower Piedmont and Coastal section, where the winters are comparatively mild," says G. O. Ran dall, horticulturist at State College, "but in the western part of the State it is best to keep the plants over win ter in a cold frame or protected bed." Where well-developed, sturdy plants are bought from the nursery they may be set either in the fall or early spring, states Mr* Randall For fall planting, however, they should be set early enough to get well established before the freezing temperatures.

"THE SAFE EXECUTOR" SOUND BANKING AND TRUST SERVICE FOR EASTERN CAROLINA plants, if well established in the per manent location, will flower earlier than those set in the spring, Mr. Randall advises the dividing and resetting of most perennial plants ev ery three or four years. This may be done either in the fall or early spring and the grower must be governed by the climate as to when the work is done. A* good practice for gardeners in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain sections is to set the divided plants in the fall about three months before freezing weather. Thorough prepara tion of the soil is necessary for this operation, and care should be taken that the newly set plants have pro tection for heavy, cold rains. In the higher altitudes, where the winters are more severe, the best prac tice is to divide and reset in early spring as soon as the soil can be pre pared, advises Mr. Randall. Farmers in Alamance County have ordered *490 pounds of Austrian Win ter Peas to be used fof soil improve ment this fall. ruatltMlD EVERY TV—DAY mo rWIPAY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AS TO FARM PROBLEMS Question. My cowpeas and soy beans show Very little growth and in many spots have died. What is the cause of this and what can I do to correct this trouble? Answer. The cause of the plants failing to show good growth »nd dy ing in isolated spots is the dry weath er and the resultant hard soil. The extreme dry weather this year has caused many crops to fail and some of them to die where the soil was hard. Due to this condition the roots could not grow deep enough to main tain contact with the lower water ta ble and the crops made poor growth. Question. Will the use of electric lights with my chickens during the fall and winter months give greater egg production? Answer. Much investigational work has been conducted along these lines during recent years and good results have been obtained. The use of lights will increase the work ing hours for the flock, which wil| bring a greater consumption of feed and a corresponding increase in egg production. While eggs produced in this way are often used for hatching, this practice is not recommended as the chicks will, as a rule, be weak and subject to all poultry ills. Question. At what rate and at "what time should nitrate fertilizer be ap plied to chrysanthemums? Answer. If the soil is made fertile at the time the plants are set, it is nut necessary to apply any additional plant food until the flower buds are formed. When the buds are formed, nitrate of soda or sulphate of am monia may be applied as a top dress ing between the rows at the .rate of one ounce to each of soil. TlTnTsTiounT be thoroughly worked in to the soil. A light mulch, one or two inches thick, of fresh cow manure may also be used. If this is used the plants should be watered as soon as the mulch is applied, in order to soak into the soil the available plant food. With the commercial fertilizers, light applications of about one ounce to the square yard should be made every two or three weeks until the flower buds begin to show color. Question. My cotton is stained and the lint in many spots is dark and spotted. What is the cause of this ami how can it be conrolled? Answer: The stain is caused by the fiber "Coining in Contact with the soil and impurities in the air and the dark spots are caused by the bolls becom ng infected with a dark fungous growth. The control is the same for all of these causes. Pick the cotton as raptdly as possible after" the bolls are open. This will keep the locks from coming in contact with the soil and will also prevent the fungi from developing in the fibers. Question: What can I plant now to have greens during the fall arid win ter? Answer: Two of the most popular Krten for fall and winter other than collards and turnips are kale and spin ach. Both should be planted at this time and replanted about the first of October. Keccnt additions to the list of greens are broccoli salad and ten dergreen. These crops should be planted at the same time as suggest ed for kale. DR. V. H.

THB ENTERPRISE BUILD ON FIRM FOUNDATIONS Would Not Glorify War, But Would Inspire the Striving Farmers By G. A. CARDWELL (Agricultural and Industrial Agent Atlantic Coait Line Railroad Co.) I have viewed with a feeling of awe The Arche de Triomphe and other triumphant arches in Paris, The Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, and the massive Military Arch in Brussels; but none of these monuments erected to glorify the military power of the French, German, and Belgiam nations impressed me as favorably as does the Prosperity Arch of the Agricultural Department, Central of Georgia Rail way Company. This arch is set up not to glorify success in war over weaker people, but to inspire weak, striving farmers with a determina-1 tion to build successful farming oper- | ations on a firm foundation. The arch rises from a solid foundation, i. e. "Increasing Profits by Decreasing Production Costs." The footing stones left and right represent Sofl Redintegration. For Profitable Summer Crops-—winter le gumes plowed under for green ina nnre; and permanent pastures for profitable live stock—lespedeza, car pet and dallis sown on the low lands. These stones support six voussier stones representing richer soils; bet-j ter grazing; pure bred seed; pure' bred sires; better fertilization; and better feeding. The voussior stones in turn support four haunch stones, — lower production costs; lower feeding costs, larger crops; and more meat and milk. Then capping the arch, comes the key stone- —Agricultural Prosperity. . The big word "reintegration" means restoration to a whole or sound state, and in this case refers ,to so® renewal. As a matter of fact, all" successful farming starts with a sound or fertile soil. Building agricultural prosperity with the stones used in the Central of Gerogia Railway Company arch should not be a difficult job for the farmer who owns his farm and has a little capital; but it is almost im possible of accomplishment by the tenant farmer, unless he has the sus tained backing of his landlord; and, unfortunately, many landlords 'Are now almost, as poor as their tenants. A thought which has troubled me for a long time is, how is agricultural prosperity for the Southern tenant farmer who lacks capital going to be solved? As much as we may feel in clined to shy off from "government in business", this is a problem that the states and the nation may have to solve sootier or later. Insects Cause Big Loss In North Carolina Crops x * Raleigh.—Some of the worst insect depredations in years have occured during the current year as a result of heavy burning of forests of the state in 1931, Charles H. Flory, assistant state forester in charge of forest fire control, said recently. Trees weakened by fires, he ex plained. are like human beings with lowered resistance and are therefore more subject to injury by insect pests. A typical instance of insect ravages following a forest fire, as- cited by Flory, is in Columbus County, where the southern pine beetle has attacked a large area. Where the attack has been heaviest, the insect is said to have stripped the trees completely of all needles.
