Yard Leader Swain Club Tells of Work In Recent Contest —•— By MISS VELMA SITTERSON Swain Club Yard Leader When my club members elected me for their yard leader this year. I wasj very enthused because this meant not only a chance to compete for a trip | to the State Short Course but also meant a chance to intprvoe mj yard which was needed very badly. Our yard was a very disorderly clutter of old buildings and misplaced shrubbery which almost completely! shut off a view from the house. The first thing that 1 did was to| make out a plan which would be easy | to follow because I wuold know ex-j actly what to do. In front of the yard on the west, side of the house three large poultry houses were torn down and three were) also moved to the back yard, And a! row of hens nests were torn down and* a row moved to the back yard. On the east side of the hack yard was an extra large storage shelter whicfi was torn down which was a very hard task to do. In the front yard on the west side was a large grape vine which covered the view from that side of the house. We removed it and hauled fourteen loads of poles and posts and also re moved one in the back yard and haul ed four loads of poles and posts which was a very hard task. We eout down twenty fruit trees which was a very unsightly scene and dug up stumps and also cut down three large trees in WANTED: MAN WITH CAR TO take care of established business in Washington County.

()ur front yard was a very junky dace and. old wire fence was stretch ed across the front yard and had been repaired so much it had thirty six posts and a very dilapidated gate be ing the enrance. Four huge shrubs completely cut off a view of the front porch from the road. We took down the fence and dug up the shrubs and moved them to the back for a screen planting. In front of the gate was a large ditch and on the bank of this ditch grew a huge mass of (.'anna Lilies and every year when they grew up baout the height of one's head and formed a wall, which closed the whole yard in fro mthe road. We filled in the ditch which took thirty four loads of soil and many days of hard work. The lilie swere dug up and moved to other parts of the yard. To screen off other unsightly views. We did not have a nice grsasy lawn | for every year it grew up in weeds ; and large bunches of grass there were j large vacant places in it. And one place was so low it took thirteen loads of soil had to be hauled to bring it on, a level with the rest of the yard. We ploughed it and removed eight loads of grass and roots. And some sections of the yard had to be grubbed up with a hoe. It took several weeks to get it in shape to plant grass seed. Five loads of home-made fertilizer was us ed then we harrowed it several times to get the soil suitable for planting grass seed. We moved three old fences which formed lots, and put up two news ones thus dividing the lawn one one side from the poultry lot and on the other from the barn yard. We white washed our house and all out buildings and trees made two lawn benches, a table, and bird bath, bird house, and a trellis. We moved nine rose bushes to the back yard and have a rose garden there. We moved six teen ever greens, eleven shrubs, one fringe tree, six running vines, four fig trees to the back. They were scat tered about the yard. We moved four teen crepe myrtle bushes. We set out two rock roses, five pussy willows, two laurel trees, twelve spires, five snow balls, three hollyhocks, two pink almonds, seven ever greens, one hun dred petunias, seven cedar trees, 1 dog wood tree, eight bunches of bear grass, five hundred canna bulbs, one hun dred cosmos, twelve bunches of high phlox, one ragged robin, fifty bunches of narcissus, sixty-three gladioli bulbs, three bulbs eye, nine dahlias, two cal la lilies, five suis lilies, forty-four larkspur, fifty wild fern, fifty chrysan themums, fifty phlox, five sweet wil liams, twelve verbena, one hundred zinnias, eleven hollyhock. I set out forty rose cuttings, and one hundred different kinds of shrubs. I gave away thirty cuttings of shrubs, two hundred narcissus bulbs. I cut two ditch banks down with weeds and trees as high as a fence and mov ed a fence on the est side of the yard and hauled five loads of weeds and trees. Our wood pile was a large disorder 1 ycollection of wood, old limbs, etc. We moved most of this mess and niade a smaller one and made a neat er one. Scattered about the yard was lots of junk. We hauled thirty loads of brands, post, and shingles, -ix loads of iron wire. The cost of the repairing was fifteen dollars. Now in place of the old junk place we have a nice cool regular lawn NOTICE! Instructions were issued to Chief of Police P. W.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO ’BREAK IN" h THE FORD V-8 You can drive it 50 miles an hour the day you buy it The Ford V-8 is ready for normal driving when you buy it. There is no tedious period of breaking-in for 500 or 1000 miles. You can drive it up to 50 miles an hour the first day. And after the first hundred miles you can drive it as fast as you desire. That means greater motoring enjoyment for every motorist. It is especially important to motorists who are thinking about a new car for a vacation trip — to physicians, salesmen and all those who use a car for business. In stead of dragging along at slow speeds for days, you can make good time from the start. The reason for this is as important as the result. The Ford V-8 needs no breaking-in because of unusual accuracy in the manufac ture of moving parts and the smoothness of bearing surfaces. Clearances are correct when you buy the car. It is not necessary to depend on a long wearing-in period to eliminate tight ness and insure smooth running. Longer life, greater economy and Letter performance are hound to result from such precision methods. The Ford V-8 gives you fine-car construction, along with fine-car performance, comfort, safety and beauty. FORD V8 Plymouth Motor Company,Inc. Authorized Ford Dealers Plymouth, N. C.
