Overman, County Agent Increase in Home Gardens has been reported from many sections of Dare County. I have observed a number of these which contain a go-odly variety of vegetables. But—Are you stopping at a good spring garden or are you making continuous plantings, so that you will have a continous supply of vegetables throughout the summer and fall ? A good summer and fait garden is very important. Plant the following seeds now: snap beans, bush lime beans, car rots, beets, corn, field peas, toma toes, okra. New Zealand spinach, endine and Swiss chard. Swiss chard thrives during hot weather and. will give continuous cuttings for salad for many weeks. Mar- globe tomatoes planted now will give a good supply of tomatoes until frost. Sow some savoy ab- bage seed now for fall settings; these will head all winter and are resistant to cold. Don’t let insects eat and destroy the vegetables in your garden. Rotenone dust applied during the middle of the day will control the most of insects and is non-pois- onous to humans.

'feeacrtiful lady was forced to w'-'k over the side, veiy calm and dressed m white, altho she had begged them to send word to her father and hus band. Calm, impressive, with eyes closed, she waved fare well, crossed her hands upon her breast and walked into eteimity. Once they saw her face again, when she came to ihe sui’face and then sank with piteous outstreti hands. Then the pii-ates plunder ed the good ship Patriot and left her going under full sail Old Frank told there was f and tan dog. And th-s .stc seems to bear out the stc told by old Mrs. Mann Nags Head. It was also .told that 1 Patriot was captured by celebrated "West Indian rate named Dominique Y alias “Babe.” The entire crew walked the plank.
