The commission said “the empha sis which has frequently been plac. ed upon the idea that the coopera, tive chain may be the salvation of the independent retailer", promoted transmittal of the report on co operatives ahead of those on ceu. trally owned chains. •'This, combined with a rapid •growth and spread of these organi. zations in the last few years, it added, "seems to warrant .the prompt spresentation of a detailed analysis - . . thus making available to all independent wholesalers' and retail, 'ers data which may assist them in determining whether or not they iflesire to organize or to join such -groups.” ^ The commission said “the results shown by this report lead to cer. tain definite conclusions; the first of which is that the retailer co_ lOperates (made up of retailers who ■.■unite to perform for thbir own bene fit the function of a wholesaler) iave concentrated on distribution of goods to members as low cost. ■“As compared with the whole.

JOLY HARD MONTH FOR HOME GARDEN 1931 spring pig “crop” in North; Winter Garden Depends On Soil And Handling Of The Young Plants; Must Be Protected From Hot Sun. Carolina showed very little change from a year ago, according to the June Lst Pig Survey released June 25th, by the Departmment of Agri. culture. The June report showed an increase of 1.6 percent in the num. ber of sows that farrowed compared with last spring and also an in. crease of 30.7 percent in the number of sows bred for fall farrowing. The percentage of gilts farrowing com pared •with all sows farrowed was 41.4 percent in 1931 compared with 35.3 in 1930. The average number of pigs saved per litter was 6.0 or practically the same as for the pre. vious spring. Last January the total swine on farms numbered approximately 827,000 this being about 3 .i>ercent more than the year previous. The value of these averaged $1.50 less per head than in 1930. The total number in the United States on January 1st showed a decline of about 2 percent below January 1st, 1930. The decline both in numbers and stocks is ex. P^cted to result in an impro-vement in tha bog situation this fall. According to the 1930 county Farm Census reports, the number of sows percent more in 1931 than in 1930. Last year wes 12.3 less than in 1929 The number of ‘ bogs sold or slaugh. teredo in the Slate * In 1930 was 4.8 percent less than In 1929. The month of July is always a critical time in the making of a fall and winter garden. Getting a higher percent of germination and a good stand of plants is a serious problem. Soil preparation is of first importance. It Is well to break the land several weeks in advance of the time of planting if possible Plow thoroug’nly, and keep the disc and smoothing harrows in action often to destroy weeds and conser ve moisture. In starting plants that withstand transplanting, such as cabbage, col- lards, and lettuce, it is better to plant the seed in a partially shaded seed bed rather than to attempt planting directly In the field. A lat. tice work of slats makes an ex. cellent covering for such a bed. If slats are not available, use pine brush or any material which can be arranged to provide partial shade. Place-the covering 3 dr 4 feet above the bed in order to permit a free movemnt of air around the plants and to give room for watering and weeding. If the soil is dry when the seeds are sown, water thor. oughly and cover with old fertilizer sacks to conserve moisture. The sacks should be removed as Boon as the seedlings begin to cime up. Plants started in a partially shaded bed should be hardened to the ho summer sun before setting in the field. Do this by gradually remov ing the shade and by withholding water. Seeds planted directly in toe gar den row should come in contact with moist soil if possible. Such large.seed crops as beans and corn should be planted in deep furrows If th*e garden plot is well drained, Cover a little deeper than for toe early spring plantings. Small-seeded crops planted directly in toe garden will require the greatest of care I ^5 if a stand is to be secured. .Pulver. | ize the soil thorongbly and pack it^^E around th(e seed after planting. Cover the row with old sacks or boards to help hold the moisture. If boards or planks ^re used, place a brick under each end and raise them off the ground as soon as the seedlings begin to come up. If ^E the boards, are removed entirely the hot sunshine will kill the tender seedlings. Harden gradually to the sun by removing the boards in the early morning and late afternoon S for Jthe first few days after Ihe seedlings are up. Seeds which are slow to germin ate are sometimes sprouted before planting. The carrot is a familiar ex ample of such a crop. Sprout the seeds between layers of moist cloth, and plant as soon as toe white sprouts begin to show. Sprouted seed must be planted in momist soil and protected from the heat with a covering of boards or sacks as described above. * V NEW FORD TOWN SEDAN DE LUXE SEDAN CONVERTIBLE SEDAN DE LUXE TUDOR VICtORU CABRIOLET The most striking fine car tjpes eyor offered at snch low prices are now being presented by Ford dealera.
