PLANT NOW FOR
SPRING PANSIES
Too Many People Depend
Nurseries for Stock; Not
Difficult To Grow
The pansy is becoming more popu
lar in North Carolina flower gardens,
but too many growers depend on buy
ing plant- from nurseries rather than
producing them at home.
"We have found that the average
gardener may grow his own plants
with fair success by observing a few
simple rules," says J. G. Weaver, in
charge of horticultural greenhouses at
State College. "The pansy grows
best in cool weather and there is still
time to sow seed for flowers next
spring. To grow the plants success
fully one must prepare the seed bed
carefully. This means pulverizing the1
soil for about six inches and raking
away* all rubbish. Add about one
inch of well-rotted stable manure to
the bed and place about one-half an
inch of good garden soil on this. I
Smooth it down and soak the bed with !
water.”
Weaver says the seed may be plant- 1
ed on this bed in rows or broadcast.
It is better to drill the seed and cover |
-them lightly with fine sand. Keep the j
surface moist but not wet. This may j
be aided by covering the bed with .
unbleached sheeting. As the plants
come through, gradually remove the
shade. Never allow the beds to be
come dry, as this will be fatal to
growing strong plants.
As soon as the true leaves are1
formed, remove the pansy plants to
their permanent location. Weaver
says it is not wise to transplant any ,
more than is absolutely- necessary i
He says also that exhibition blooms !
may be obtained by preparing the per- !
inanent bed rather carefully-. This '
means preparing the growing place |
with the same care us was used with 1
the seed bed.
As fast as the plants bloom remove
the blossoms when the petals fade.
This will assure continuous blooming.
SAYS IDLE LAND
DOES MUCH HARM
-<5>
Now Over Million And Half
Acres Lying Idle in
This State
With over one and one-half million
acres of cleared land now lying idle
in the State any additional clearing
by cutting off timber will only add to
that land on which the farmer is pay
ing taxes and from which he is get
ting no return.
"This idle land is just as harmful
in an economic way as idle labor,”
says R. \\ Graeber, extension forest
er at State College. “The natural
erosion and leaching will cause untold
losses in soil fertility and this can
not be replaced in a day, a year, or a
number of years.”
To this million and a half acres
now lying out will be added thousands
of other acres released from cash crop
cultivation under the crop reduction
program, points out Graeber and he
advises farmers not to cut timber
and clear the land but to plant trees
on much of the land that it not now
in cultivation.
Many farmers are even now cutting
down trees that within a few years
would make valuable lumber, Graeber
says. This timber, in most cases, is
not of commercial size but, in a few
years, would be W’orth considerably
more as saw logs than they will bring
this year as cord wood.
Pines that are from 15 to 20 years
old are increasing in value from two
to three dollars an acre which is
enough to pay taxes and have little
surplus if figured from a money sav
ing standpoint. Any additional clear
ing will only mean more land to wash
away and the farmer will lose in both
soil and timber value, says Graeber.

I keep coming back
to that word "balanced”
on the back of the
Chesterfield package
\7"OU often hear the word balance_
-k something is out of balance—top
heavy, not on an "even keel.”
What you read, "Chesterfield Cigarettes
are a balanced blend,”means that the right
amounts of the right kinds of tobacco are
welded together; that is, home-grown to
baccos, the right kind, the right quantity—
are blended and cross-blended with tobac
cos from Turkey and Greece.
^ lion these tobaccos are balanced one
against the other, then you have a mild
cigarette.
W hen they are in balance, then you have
a better-tasting cigarette.
May we ask you to read again the statement
on the back of the Chesterfield package?
May we ask you to try Chesterfield?
