Garden Time la East Carolina By Robert Schmidt> This week I wish to make a few suggestions about exhibiting flowers—individual specimens or collections—at fairs and shows. I do intend to give any advice on flower arrangements. As with fruits and vegetables, be sure you enter the flowers in the proper class and that you have fulfilled all the requirements of that class. For individual speci mens, perfection is the goal and they arc juctged actoidingiy. Flowers, because of their perish able nature, are usually placed on the exhibit table in ;he morning and judged as soon as entries are closed. Remember, the condition of the flower at the time it is judged is what counts. For example, the American Rose Society rules that a rose should be from one-half of three hours later, the bud may ed. Therefore, if you have entered a tight bud, an experienced judge will give it no consideration. Two or thre hours later, the bud may have opened and may be the best specimen on the show table. Dahlias, which are popular show flowers, should be fully op en when cut. They do not open in water. Most flowers, except roses and glads should be fully open. It is best to cut flowers for exhi bition the night before they are t.~ be shown and the stems should be put in a deep container of cold water and placed in a cool loca tion until ready for show. Discard all specimens with weak | damaged petal:-.. Dahlias and roses | should Slave beeii UiSb'udded M*V erui days before the show—that is, side buds should have been re moved. Dahlias should be handled as little as possible and should not be subjected to wind or heat because they wilt very easily. Re member—perfection of stem, leaves, and flower, and then care to get them to the show table in the best possible condition.

TOBACCO GROWERS! /VOlV-Zor ROOT KNOT DAMAGE It's easy to find out if nematodes cut into your 1951 profits. Pull up a few roots in an area that didn’t pay so well this year. Look for stunted roots with knots and starved-off feeder roots. If you find roots like that, there are damaging nema todes in your soil and you should fumigate with D-D before the next crop is planted. d-d* killC NEMATODES I '•Nvsrih Carolina Tobacco' growers'msefe fifofitable use of D-l'J tiiih year.

"Cry Danger" Due Here On Tuesday —4— The exciting story of a man who is sent to prison on false charges, and who on his release sets out to find those who betrayed him, is developed in the Dick Powell Rhonda Fleming starring vehicle, ‘‘Cry Danger,’’ An Olympic Production distrib uted by RKO Radio, this suspense ful film brings Powell back to the screen in the hard-bitten type of role that has featured his screen career since “Murder, My Sweet”. Rhonda Fleming portrays the wife of a man who was sent to prison with Powell and is still incarcer ated. It is a strictly modern dra matic role for Miss Fleming, in contrast with that of the princess in “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” as Ring Crosby’s romantic interest. The supporting cast features four players Regis Toomey por trays a tough yet sympathetic de tective not sure of Powell’s inno cence, but ready to play along with him until the truth is proven and justice is served. Dick Kurd man, rapidly coming to the front as a film actor, plays a one-legged ex-Marine whose testimony frees Powell from prison The sinister influence in the pic ture is acted by William Conrad, who played one of the killers in “The Killers” Jean Porter, pert faced and tiny, is a gold-digging blonde who somehow manages to get a certain amount of sympathy for herself before the screen story is completed. Directed by Robert Parrish from William Bower’s screenplay based on a story by Jerome Cady, the film was made under the aegis of producers Sain Wisenthal and W. R Frank. Baiileships Taken OH oi OPS Control —«— If you're in the market for a battleship - or even a light crus er — you have waited just a little too long. Last week the Office f Price Stabilization discovered that 1 "ships for military use” had nev er been exempted from the gen era! price control regulation and immediately issued an amendment to free them from price controls At the same time, OPS removed antique automobiles from the price control rolls, so that Stan ley Steamer you've been looking at is also apt to cost more Two Broods Keep Good Egg Supply Starting two or more broods of I chicks at different seasons will enable poultrymen to maintain a constant year-round supply of eggs for the customet , says Thomas B. Morris, extension poultry specialist at State Col lege. Most poultrymen, Morris ex plains, can’t maintain a good year round supply of eggs because they start only one. brood of chicks, usually in February March, and April. These pullets come inti production about six months la ter, lay well for about eight to 10 myths (or until Ma, of the following year), and then it is difficult to get 50 per cent or high er production without heavy cull ing. Under the one-brood system the volume of eggs is below normal for about two to four months dur ing the year. But poultrymen who start two broods at different times are able to maintain a stea dy supply of eggs throughout the year. Research at State College, says Morris, indicates that the best time to start the second brood for a laying flock is in October. Chicks hatched October 10, 1941), came into production the latter part of March and averaged 73.8 percent production for each of file five months of April, May, June, July, and August Produc duction would have been even higher if some of the birds had been culled, but the "loafers” vvete kept because their livability was being checked. Besides the high rate of lay, the birds hatched in off-season pro duced eggs whose shell texture and interior were better than those of old hens that had been laying for eight or 10 months In addition, the hatchability of their eggs set during June, July, and August was 86.5 per cent. From 1945 to 1950, about 37 per cent of the cotton produc ed in the United States was ex ported.
