Now that fresh asparagus Is ap pearing in the grocery stores, we are beginning to receive Inquiries about growing this crop. Can aspar agus be grown sucessfully in North Carolina? Yes, It can. When should it be planted? In the eastern part of the state it is best to plant In November or December, but may Ha ninntMl in February or March. In the western part of the state It is probaDiy nest to piani wuarcu or April. Although asparagus is originally tarted from Beed. the gardener or small grower usually buys one year old crowns for setting. These may be obtained from any large seed store or asparagus grower.

The liary WasUngton var iety is recommended. . Asparagus is a perennial crop and should be productive for more than ten years if given good care. Be cause it Is a perennial crop, grass and weeds max be a problem especially If you have Bermuda grass in the garden. Therefore, tho rough preparation Is necessary be fore planting. The crowns are set about 18 Inches apart In a broad furrow or trench slx'to eight inches deep. The fleshy roots are spread out at the bottomof the trench with the buds up and covered with soil to a depth of three or four inches. When the spears' come thr ough this soil the rest of the trench may be filled. If the sou is sandy, the entire trench may be filled at planting time. If fertilizer la- used it Bhould be thoroughly mixed with the soil at the bottom of the trench at least a week before planting. Well rotted" stable manure would also be desirable as a fertilizer. . Asparagus should not be cut at all until a year after planting and then only lightly about eight weeks. The bed or row should be thoroug hly worked each spring before the spears appear. ..... , - Kangaroo Rat 01922 National Wildlife Fadwatloa Mickeys Pastry Mickey McClenny, Prop. Goldsboro, N.

In fact there are approximately a hundred kinds and in suitable territory there may be a population as high as 1,000 anim als to the square mile. Because of the different kinds it is difficult to limit the territory occupied, but they seek hot, dry lands where coolness may be reached oy Bur rowing a short distance undergro und. Some species are to be xouna In damp lands and some in forested areas but usually the ground is of loose type, such as sand or clay, in which excavating is relatively easy. v r-'-K'-- . One of the commoner kangaroo rats has a length of 13 inches of which 7 1-2 inches Is tall. They have long hind legs and the hind feet with their four toes 'may be two inches long. The eyes are large and amazingly beautiful as is so often the case with nocturnal ani mals. Theyhave conspicuous long whiskers and capacious, external, fur-lined cheek pouches In which they can pack food that they carry underground lor storage or cons umption. Kangaroo rats do not nor mally drink water but get their supply from their food. A kangaroo rat may make an 8-foot leap and this is necessary for an animal that roams in the open. The animals do not hiber nate or migrate and must, keep active the year round. The larger bannertaila store food ' regularly but this is not . the practice with the smaller species, A nest den about 8 by 5 Inches is built some 3 feet underground and lined with fine plant material. It is kept free of dung and waste food and there the two to four young of a litter are born. The rata are social but the families live in separate tunnels. However if the animals are confined in a cage they win fight to the death and, while one may survive out of group, even the survivor mty be come: so wounded in the process of proving his superiority that he too does not Uve out his normal life span. .-., :- Kangaroo rats serve as food for coyotes which might otherwise prey on domestic animals. They have an interesting aeries of night songs which are intriguing to the camper who stops in their midst 1 The National Wildlife Federation is interested in an understanding of the true role of these animals in the general economy of nature.
