Pecan Trees Need Fertilizing Now —■*>— Now is the time to fertilize pe p;; can trees, says H. M. Covington, | B extension horticultural specialist | at State College. On light soils, ! % half of the fertilizer should be ap jf plied now and half in June. § Under avrraga conditions, says Covington, the grower should use „ a 6-8-6 fertilizer at the rate of two to three inches for each year of age or each inch of trunk dia | meter of the tree.

A suggested program outline prepared by the Rev. Garland Hendrix, pastor of Olive Chapel Baptist Church of Wake County, will be used by many ot the clubs This includes special music, Scrip ture reading and prayer by 4 H members, and a talk by the pastin' or four five-minute talks by club members on the factors which make a better community. In many churches, 4 11 boys and girls will assist with the program by serving as ushers or song lead ers, decorating the auditorium with flowers, reciting poems, tak ing up the offerings, or welcom ing members of the congregation The club members will dress ii uniform and sit in a body at many of the services. Hun-ill said 4-H Church Sunday is observed throughout the natior to emphasize the meaning o Christianity in rural life. The pro I gram is designed, he said, to re emphasize the importance ol' spir itual growth and development it ttie life of the individual, the com munitv, tlie state, and the world and to keep alive the interest o rural youth in the program of th> church. "In the observance of 4 1 Church Sunday," lie asserted, "i is not our purpose to use tie church as a means for proinotini interest in 4 II Club work, bu rather to help every 4-H Club bo; and girl to seek out the truths o life, to cooperate in the progran ot the church, and to help broad en the influence of the Christia church in the community."
