t In the fall of the year we begin to think of lawns—permanent lawns and winter lawns, in must parts at Notrh Carolina perma nent lawns of the bluegrass, Zoy sia or fescue are best started in the fall. Centipede and Bermuda grass should not be planted until late spring because heavy freezes will kill the young seedlings. When we establish a new lawn we hope that it will be with use • for a long time without reseeding. Therefore it is very important to do a thorough job of soil prepara tion before planting. For detailed instructions 0Y1 soil preparation and planting write to the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service for a bulletin on Carolina Lawns or get one from your county agent. v Zovsia Matrella and Zoysia 52 are two new grasses that will make beautiful lawns in sun or partial shade. However, they are I ~ ^ I expensive and slow to start. Me- j rion bluegrass is a very promising ! I new strain of bluegrass for the, '.areas where bluegrass will thrive. ; Its the hotter portion* of the state centipede glass may be used as a I substitute for Bermuda grass. It . is low growing but a little coars- | er than Bermuda and does not , grow underground, which makes it less objectionable. .1 In passing through eastern and central North Carolina during | winter you will see many bright ! green lawns. These lawns are winter lawns of Italian rye grass, usually son in Bermuda or other permanent sods during late Sep tember or October. Italian rye grass is an annual grass which grows during mild winters and spring and dies out during sum-1 met. It must be replanted each fall. Sow seed directly on the per- j manent grass sod and lightly rake it in. Five pounds of seed per DR. SAM T.

Fifth Street GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA I Turpentine Drippings Compiled By Bill Sharpe -# HOW COME? (Beatrice Cobb. Morgantpn In Sunday's Charlotte Observer Red Buck Biyant quotes an ex pression long familiar to many of us, “how come." citing “Hot come you do dat?" as an example of its use by an old colored woman o| his acquaintance. It reminded me of another, also frequently used “in these parts”—“as how". An example of the use of the latter would be: ""I don't see 'as how' it makes any difference to him»” Grammarians might question the correctness of either or both, but there is no doubting their njean ing or usefulness. BONE BRIDGE (Josh Horne, Rocky Mount (Telegram) The fact that many of the mys teries of North Carolina have successfully eluded publication was brought to light the other day when we were privileged to talk to Mrs. Bessie A. Fisher, who lives near Whitakers, and re members much of the early his tory of both Nash and Edgecombe counties. According to Mrs Fisher there 1000 sq. feet is usually sufficient. In order to get a dark green color in the rye grass apply 15 to 20 pounds of a good garden fertiliz er per leftO sq. ft. and watm it about a week before sowing. It is not recommended to sow rve grass in a bluegrass lawn because of the danger of crowding out the blue grass in the spring. IF YOU WON'T MARRY MS - l BLOW OUT MV BRAINS!

The dogs owned by these hunters persistently re fused to cross the "log” and it was not for a long time that those crossing it realized that they were walking on the backbone of some pveVflfronc animal. Two or three pieces of this “vertebrae log” are now residing in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D. C. THE LAST P INT (Whiteville Reporter) They called Old Danny the side walk preacher. Not that he had a bit of religion, but because he liked to studwand argue about the Bible. He would word hard all the year until tobacco season and then he would go into the nearby tobacco town and "sell backer, im bibe, and talk religion," Hi- was.a familiar figure up and down the sidewalks for a number of years. He prided himself on his natural gift of oratory and of ten, when enough listeners would gather around, he would bow up near the apex of his discuorse and stick up one finger for emphasis, and say, "Watch out now! Watch out now! ‘Cause I'm fixing to fetch a p'int." And the points he usually brought were very amusing. Then came the year that he didn t show up. People coming in from far-off sections, who had not heard the news, began in quiring about the sidewalk preacher. “Where is old Danny?" they would ask. "Where is old Danny? We want to hear him “fetch some more p’ints'.” And then somebody, locally, let the eat out of the bag. Old Danny had failed on one point: He had "(etched one p'int" too many and the revenue officers had caught him. HOLLOW BOASTING (Stanley News & Press) It does not make good sense for officials to boast of surpluses of $35,000,000 to $50,000,000 in the state treasury and then have sore ly-needed doctors leave the medi cal staffs of state institutions be cause ol a failure to pay adequate salaries. SECRET WEAPON (The Robesoniun) "The South has no secret wea pon except its spirit. There are no I latural advantages to Southern ocations that are impossible fori Enjilanif to match." That's the statement of a New ! Englander, Jack Berry, an offi- \ eiai of the American Woolen Com- ! pany. He used it in explanation of the industrial movement South- | ward. That movement has come to ' be regarded so seriously that New Englanders have sought legislu-■ yViV-o* m 11; > i ing government orders to their Southern competitors. Just what is this spirit? Per haps it can he defined a;, a will ingness to work, an interest in I seeing the job done, and feeling of gratitude for whatever bene fits can bring to a community. The North has had industry loag enough to take it tor granted, and to look upon whatever it contri butes, in the way of employment and taxes, as an obligation. But the South has had comparatively little industry until recent years. It s people have seen communities revitalized by the establishment of* new industry, and have seen living standards raised. Because the change has taken place in their time, they can appreciate | what it is worth. Industry has, in many instances, brought im provements in local living condi- i tions, most Southern communi-, ties try to attract industries and let them know that they are wel- I come. * * » THAT WOULD HELP (Waynesville Mountaineer) A group of summer visitors ar rived at the hotel doming the re cent heat wave. Their complaints were on a par with the tempera- j turc and didn't improve their dis-' positions or popularity. Thun I along came the rains, that brought relief and cooling breezes, so deeply appreciated. Presto change! But not for the better. The cries of anguish rose higher. "We didn't come to the mountains to be shut indoors by rain. We d been better off if we’d stayed at (albeit silently) avowed: "And so would we." IVY ACROSS THE SEAS (R. P. Harris, Gardens Houses, People) Some people like the scent of boxwood, and some don't One lady of my acquaintance is "sim ply ravished" by the odor, espec ially after a rain. A man 1 know, who dislikes it, says it "smells like cats." On a hot, sultry summer day, tin1 muskiness of box reminds me of spiders. A scent that 1 like much more than box is that of freshly-cut ivy, which is very similar to that of limes. My small garden has luxuriant beds and borders of ivv, which must be cut back rather frequently. That is me garden chore I don’t mind; when 1 am working awav with the hedge shears, the delicious smell reminds me of what' pleas ant drinks can be blade with the use of limes. Incidentally, my ivy .-a me from cuttings from my mother's garden, which came from ■uttings from ivy on an old ■liurch down in the Cape Fear j section of North Carolina, which •ame from cuttings brought from Scotland. This doesn't make my ivy any better than any other ivy, but it does give me a sense of enn tinuity. A long strand of ivy FOR TOP MARKET PRICES Sell Your flogs Now To WILLIAMSTON PACKING CO. George M.

JUST WAIT (Harnett County News) While in the mountain regions we were conversing with a man W . . ' - uv . 1. -....s', of sheep grazing on a mountain side. Some of the sheep were very high on the hill. "Will they go higher than that?" We asked. "No," he said, "that's about as high as they’ll go—" and with a twinkle in his eye—"til they reach tin butcher shops." Higher yielding soybean varie ties have accounted for increases of 20 per cent in soy bean pro duction and 10 per cent in oil prod uction.
