Apfl 1st k DeacHme For Sowing Lespedeza A good slogan for North Carolina «n>wen m adopt this year is ‘‘&ve 0)e SoU with Le^wdeza,” sa^ W. D. Xiee, extension soil conservationist of N. C. State College. Lespedeza, he pointed out, is more nearly adapted to this purpose th^ any ottief Southern crop. In addi tion, there ate other reasons why this excellwit legume could very well be grown on every farm: 1. Lespedeza enriches the land as it prevents erosion. (A good crop of ynniiai lespedeza plowed imder helps increase the yields of cotton and corn.) 2. Lespedeza makes a good hay. (A good stand, 10 inches high, will yield as much as average peavines. Kobe, Korean, and Tennessee 76, are good hay varieties.) 3. Lespedeza yields heavy amounts of seed and the seed are eakly saved. Korean and sericea are cut and the seed threshed. Seed of most other lespedezas are caught in pans at tached to mowmg machines. Seed that shatter from hay can be gath ered in the bam. North Carolina farmers began seeding the legume around the middle of February and will continue until the first of April, Lee said, in warn ing farmers ttiat it will soon be too late to sow lespedeza. Seedings af ter the first of April may be destroy- O^eland 4-H Best Honors go to the Copeland 4rH club of Surry county for being sel ected the most outstanding 4-H club in North Carolina for the past ye».

In addition to numo--; ous activities in the community dur ing 1940, the club members completed 72 projects, helped beautity the school grounds, and raised money to pay for the construction of the club house on the sdiool property.

C Cotton Stamp Program Hoke coimty cotton farmers can get cotton .stamps at the rate of 10c per pound times the normal yield per acre for reducing cotton below the 1940 acreage allotment or the 1940 planted acreage, whichever is smaller, reports A. S. Knowles, county agent. Farmers should decide whether to take part in this program. Opera tors with two or more tenants cab get up to $50 in stamps. All other landlords or tenants can get $25.00 in stamps. A notice of intention to par ticipate must be filed at the office before June 15th. The cotton stamps will be given on same basis as share in cottofi. ^ Ouy i^bbee during bis .recent attaidance at the wprld pr^niere of “Scattergooi^ Baines,” at Montpelier, Yt., was host to this U-year-old lad, Boland Boucher, who distinguished himself by rescuing four other children from a hole in the ice of Lake Champlain where they had bera skatings -Of Interest To ed by dry weather. The State College man explained that lespedeza affords an abundance of highest quality gazing from July to November, during which time many other pasture plants are dor mant. A good stand will carry one animal unit per acre during the per iod, and often more if seasons are favorable. It is used alone and also in permanent pasture mixtures. After seeding crotalaria for three years, R. S, Kelly, Erwin, says the legume is the greatest soil builder he has ever tried, reports J. B. Gour- lay, assistant farm agent of Harnett coimty.

The clump can be taken up when the new leaves are an inch or two long. Pull it apart so 'that each plant will have some good roots. If these are very long, cut them back to about six inches. Give each little plant eight or ten inches space; Have the bed dug eighteen inches deep with old rotted manure turned well under to induce long roots that will go deep down. This helps the plant to bloom abundantly and to go through droughts without artificial watering. All perennials can be moved in early spring, but all cannot be di vided then. Those that bloom early can be moved in a clump with a large ball of dirt and will go right on blooming. Those which bloom in mid-summer and fall, such as phlox, perennial asters, and the wo named above, chrysanthemums and shasta daisies, should be divided about the first week of Ap^. Oriental poppies, lilies, platyco- dons, bleeding hearts, peonies and bulbs should not be moved now, but can be divided and .reset after their foliage begins to yellow in late spring. During the blooming season and just after, while the foliage is still green, they are storing food in their bulbs or tubers before they take their sum mer rest. They can be moved as soon as they have finished this task, which is indicated by the yellowing foliage. Spring blooming bulbs grow in winter and rest in summer, while summer bloomers rest in winter and grow in summer. The summer- flowering ones, such as gladiolus, montbresia, inmene, tigridia, tube rose, canna, dahlia, caladium, etc., should be planted as soon as danger of a heavy frost is past—about the first of April. I^jleither summer nor spring bloomers ^ould be moved im-i til they are ready to rest when Iheir foliage has yellowed. German iris can be moved in the early spring and will bloom as' us ual, but must not be divided now, if bloom is desired this spring. Ibey can be divided after bloom is over and the rhizomes have stored the food and formed buds for next spring. This will be in late summer. Siberian and Japanese iris should be divided in the spring when the leaves or shoots first show. Dutch and Spanish iris, come from 'bulbs, should be treated as other bulbs and not moved imtil the foliage begins to die down after blooming. Again in the fall, perennials can be moved after they have finished blooming. Any time from Septem ber 15 to November 15 is good for moving them in clumps. From Sep tember 15 to October 15 is a good time to separate or divide the clumps, dnd for transplanting seedlings from the coldframe. They can be moved, in clumps even after cold weather.

Farmers who have faci lities for curing potatoes should plant an acreage of “spuds” says A. S. Knowles, county agent. The Porto Rico variety is the best for this section. The seed should be treated with a solution of mercuric chloride (1 oz. to 8 gallons water) for fifteen minutes and bed after drying without washing. A fertilizer mixture of an 3-8-8 analysis is best for potatoes. Use an application of 600 to 800 pounds per acre. Those desiring fui'ther information may get N. C.
