R. Niswonger, ex tension horticulturist of N. C. State College. If the vegetables were all sold on curb markets, at seasonal prices, they would bring $255.28. "All this is possible," Niswonger declared, "through a little garden work, the proper fertilizer and spray materials, and a special col lection of Victory Garden seed which is being sold throughout the State by leading seedsmen at prices ranging from $5.35 to $6.50 for the entire seed assortment. It is evi dent from this that a Victory Gar den is a good investment." As examples of the value of gar den crops, the horticulturist said that one-half ounce of 'tomato seed will produce enough plants to put out ,750 row feet. This planting wUl.be6umcient to feed a family of five, both fresh tomatoes and an, extra amount for canning, through out the yean The approximate yield from 750 row feet of tomatoes would be 20 bushels, or 1,200 pounds. At a retaU and curb mar ket price of 6 cents per pound, the value of the tomatoes in a Victory Garden would be $72. Two and one-half pounds of bush lima beans, planted in 250 feet of row, will yield approximately 35 quarts, shelled. At 40 cents per quart, the value would be $14.00. It requires 5 ounces of turnip seed to plant a sufficient amount for a family of five, but this planting will produce approximately nine bushels, or 450 pounds of turnip roots. At a retail price of 3 cents per pound, the value is $13.50; at a curb market price of 4 cents per pound, the value is $18.00. "Grow a Victory Garden to show your patriotism, to help-meet eco nomic needs, and to improve "your health," the horticulturist urged. Need More Gardens In Haywood County By B. F. Nesbitt, Vocational AgriT culture Teacher, Crabtree. A vegetable garden should be grown by every farm family in Haywood county this year. Not only should a garden be grown, but a year-round garden that will furnish a variety of vegetables for every member of the family. The U. S. Department of Agri culture has asked for an increase of 10 per cent in the number of farm gardens in North Carolina for 1942. This does not mean to become excited and plow up your lawn or back yard to grow a gar den. It means to look around and find a suitable area of land that is not in use but that would be suitable for growing vegetable crops. -. The garden soil should be fertile, well-drained, land which warms up quickly in the spring, and land Which does not bake after hard rains. Fertilizers may best be applied by heavy applications of manure or plowing under green cover crops, u tne garaen nas not already been plowed, it should be done as soon as the ground is dry enough, because early plowing helps to pulverize and mellow the soil. Each family should have a gar den space of approximately one tenth of an acre for each member of the family. For a family of five, a half acre should be provided, with at least ten or more vegeta bles grown. It is weU to remember that the vegetables from such a half -acre would cost the house wife approximately $250 if bought at retail prices. When we stop to think that 55 per cent of our young boys were rejected by the army because of mul-nutrition, that alone should make us realize the importance of the proper foods; and vegetables If we don't need the food ourselves, the boys in the army have to be fed. Someone has said that it takes $400 worth of vegetables to put a boy in the army and keep him there for a year, The various seed dealers in the county are preparing an "econo my package ' of seeds, suitable for a family of five. These packages have been selected by authorities, and contain the proper amount of all the various seeds that a family of five should grow in a year. This provides seeds for an early and late garden with plenty for canning purposes. POULTRY A striking trend toward more poultry in the Mississippi Delta has become pronounced as farmers have reduced their once huge cot- are classed as one Of natures best. ton acreage. ACA Allows $1.50 For Good Garden The Agricultural Conservation Association will pay $1.60 to each member of the Association having a good garden in 1942. The re quirements for pay are: (1) The growing of ten or more vegetables during the year; (2) growing one tenth of an acre or more per per son in the family; (3) and protect ing it from livestock and insects if necessary. There are approxi mately 26 hundred families in Hay wood County eligible to obtain this payment. "Our American Way of Life", 1940 No running board. 1941 no gear shifts. 1942 No car. Pittsburgh Press.

Production Board has an nounced to snap bean canners all over the United States that they want to set aside for Government use 21 of the entire nation's snap bean crop. With our war front 10,000 miles away, about the only foods that can leach our soldiers are canned or dried foods. We believe that it is the patriotic duly of every farmer in the United States to devote a part of his land and a part of his time to production of these foods that are so very important in our effort to win this war. This is not a one-year proposition but will continue perhaps for several years. Plans should be made for supplying our country with the food necessary, and these plans should continue on through this emeraency. Seeds for some can- J. E. BARR. ning crops are scarce. We want to urge that our growers get their contracts early so if it is necessary for us to purchase more seed we will be able to do so before the supply is exhausted.
