Best to Plant ALLEN'S CEEEK The cash outlay necessary for spray materials needed to produce quality apples and peaches in the farmer owned orchards of North Carolina is comparatively Little, yet, high quality fruit cannot be produced without fprayingr. "This is one of the most important orchard operations," f-ays H. R. Kit wonger, extension horticulturist at State College. "The cash outlay for pray materials including gas and oil for the power machines has averaged about ) an acre for apples and 11.50 an acre for peaches according to pro duction records kept by a number of orchard men in 1931. Where it is necessary to hire outside labor, an ad. ditional csh outlay of about 5 an acre will be necessary. Tne apple orchards in which these production records were kept varied from 7 to 30 acres with about 60 trees to the acre. The mature trees were somewhat under-sized and ranged tn age from 15 to SO years. There were also some younger trees from 7 to 12 years old." The amount of dilute spray solu tion used in covering the orchard at one spraying, averaged from IM to 2 gallons a tree or about 75 to 100 gallons an orchard. The peach or chards studied by Mr. Niswonger were located in the upper piedmont region and varied In size from 6 to 12 acres each. The trees were from to 6 years of age, There were 5 to 7 spray applications for the apples and 4 re fi for the peaches. Growers sometimes try to cut corn ers in times of poor prices for their frah, bat one cannot save dollars by not spraying, the horticulturist says. During periods of poor prices, quality fruit will move faster than fruit; of tow pjality. Cutting out one or two sprays therefore may have the oppo site effect from what was expected. W. H. Helms of Waxhmw, Union County, sells about 940 worth of cured sweet potatoes from his stor age house each month and has a good income from his poultry flocks. Once the homeowner has a good lawn established, his problem there after is to keep it in a thrifty condi tion. The solution of this is to be found in how he waters, mows and fertilizes his grass. "As it becomes more difficult to get .'table manure at reasonable prices, homeowners are finding the use of commercial fertilizers to be more prac tice in supplying plant food to their lawn? and grounds." says Glen. O. Randall, floriculturist at State Co! lege. "A good lawn mixture would analyze 10 percent phosphoric acid, 6 percent nitrogen and 4 percent pot ash. Other formulas may be satis factory if they contain enough of these three plant foods. However, it is de sirable that one-half the nitrogen be from the quickly available inorganic sources such as nitrate of soda and the other half from the slower acting or ganic sources such as cottonseed meal. This helps to distribute the supply of nitrogen over a longer period. Apply these fertilizers at the rate of ten pounds to each 100 square feet." When the grass is two to three inches high it should get its first cut ting with the mower blades set high. Then the lawn should be mowed regu larly thereafter as the crass reaches thie height, tt h unnecessary to re move the cut grass unless it bat been allowed to grow too long or the weath er is extremely wet. Constant watering will prevent the soil being aerated and thus suffocate or prevent healthy root development. Mr. Randal says the most common error is watering the lawn by merely sprinkling frequently. This frequent sprinkling causes the raots to grow near the surface whereMhey are in jured by the hot cummer sun. Nature's plan of a thorough wetting at inter vals is much better. One good soak lag a week is usually sufficient, reeom mends Mr. Randall. Those crops seeds which have been under the supervision of the North Carolina Crop Improvement Associa tion and have been certified as to their quality by this Association are the best to plant. Particularly is this true this year when quality must count in the marketing of all farm produce, "Crop seeds which have been certi fied by the Crop Improvement Associa tion are of the highest quality be cause they conform to the standards of the International Crop Improve ment Association," ?ays W. H. Darst, director of this work at State College. "Then too certified seed must be of a variety approved by the North Caro lina Experiment Station. Before a variety is eligible for certification it must sho'wroerit in comparative field trials fjTffa, period of at least three year. 'CertBied , seed. must also pass rigid field and bin inspection. The first inspection is made in the field before harvest when the crop is stud ied for purity of variety, the presence of noxious weeds, and for plant diseases." After the seed has been harvested, cleaned and prepared for market, rep. resentative samples are secured and analysed in the State seed laboratory for germination, purity of variety, weed seeds and foreign materials. The seeds must always eonfbrm to high standards of quality, Mr. Darst de clares. The inspections are made by seed experts employed by the State and these men must qualify as disin terested in either the crop or the per son growing the seeds. All eleima as to origin, breeding, manner of threshing and cleaning must be verti fied by, the grower. Mr. iDarst says no other souroe of aee4:jjlnd on the market is so care fully checked as to quality and value.

II. Wood, D. P. A i i i i A new blight of leaf spot disease, eDideraic tot the first time in this State during the pa: year, sewns to b threatening valuable box woods in both nurseries and private yards "We have had an unusual number of inquiries about this trouble this season," declared Dr. R. F. Poole, plant pathologist for the North Car olina Ex-periment Station. "The blight seems to effect the boxes in all parts of the State. Very old plants have been completely desroyed and small ones being propegated in nurseries have been wiped out. The disease is caused by a fungus which becomes visible as small black bodies on the diseased leaves and stems. The symptoms of the trouble are so prom ment that it is not difficult to make a definite'' diagnosis. The infccte.1 leavws' develop a light, bronzed color. The black bodies develop uniformly over the diseased leaves largely on the under side. The infected leaves gradually fall off leaving the branches naked and they finally die. Any pi; nt having the disease is left with a lagged, ugly appearance if it does I not die entirely." Dr. Poole says the best method of control is to protect the foliage with Bordeaux mix tare and to prac tice safe sanitary measures. Shake off all dead leases in water and gather up every one for burning. Prune out the dead twigs and destroy them in a like manner. Those meas ures should be taken any time dur ing the late fall and winter months, but must not be delayed until spring. The first application of Bordeaux mixture is given in the spring when ntw leaves begin to form and spray ing should be done at intervals throughout the summer. It is nec essary to keep a good supply "of the spray on the box woods because in fection will occur at any time the parts are not protected. Do not use the high presure spray as this may damage the foliage, Dr. Poole advises. Ashe?iUe,N.C.

Sometime ago she put a $10 bill on permanent safe deposit by eating it, and now, having located another similar bill, she has just repeated her iuccessful experiment. But this time the thrifty canine has been outwitted. She did not quite finish her rather costly ( meal and it so happened that among the scraps that remained were the serial numbers of the bill. These were pieced together by Mrs. Pearce and presented at a Philadelphia bank, and yesterday she received a new bill from the Treasury. "Peaches" is now being warned against the disadvantages of hoard- CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our friends, who showed such generous acts of kind ness, sympathy, and floral offerings in the recent death of our baby.
