That road will be little more than a mile and it is not known when additional links there will be built, said Mr. Ross. Completion of the Western North Carolina stretch through the addi tional acreage purchased and giv-; en the- park by TVA depends on funds being made available. Construction is also starting on a new road at Fighting Creek gap, which will eliminate hairpin curv es on the stretch to Elkmont. The straighter highway will lengthen thfe distance about a half mile, how ever. The contractor has 360 days in which to complete the road. "We believe the new highway will give a better view of Fighting Creek gap," Mr. Ross said. STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION?Are strawberry plants rooted at a considerable dis tance from the mother plant dif ferent from those rooted near the original plant? ANSWER?According to E. B. Marrow, research associate pro fessor of Horticulture at State College, usually the only differ ence between the plants at a con siderable distance from the mother plant and those nearby is that the ones nearer the mother plant are usually older and, therefore, lar ger. The yield of fruit is decidedly affected by the size of the plant .at the end of growing season. For ex ample, runner plants rooted in June are usually at least twice the size of runner plants rooted in Septem ber. This means that the June rooted plants will produce from 50 to 100 per cent more berries next spring than will the Septem ber runners. The primary differ ence, ^ therefore, -between plants nearer the mother plant and those at a considerable distance is in the size and age of plant. The younger plants are fully as satis factory for setting in a new field as are the older plants. QUESTION?What is the best lawn grass for North Carolina? ' ANSWER?In making recom mendations for lawn grass to be sown in North Carolina, John H. Harris and Roy L. Lovvorn of State College, divide the State into three sections. Extension Circular No. 292 will give you this infor mation. It describes the grasses to be used, gives instruction for establishing the lawn, and also gives pointers on lawn mainten ance.
