State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Question: Are there any new vegetables recently de veloped for use in this state? Answer: Yes. The Wando garden pea is new and, al though it comes in late, out bears the old standby, Early Alaska peas. The Wando variety is exceptionally sweet and superior in qual ity to the Early Alaska strain. Some growers this year found that while the Wando was just coming in as the Alaska stopped bear ing, and families had begun to grow tired of garden peas, the sweetness of the new variety made many ask for second helpings. Question: Is it safe to .leave off dusting of cucum ber and melon crops in Nor th Carolina this year? Answer: Pathologist and cntomolgists are concerned about the early appearance and probable spread of the highly destructive downey mildew disease in these cu curbit crops this year and recommend the immediate dusting of commercial crops with copper dusts. These dustings to be repeated every 10 days during the growing season. Mildew has already been discovered in Scotland County cucurbit crops this season. Question: Have the re cent heavy rains in the flue cured tobacco belt dam aged the leaf crop other than by drowning? Answer: Some tobacco has been scaled in areas of heavy rainfall but probably the greatest difficulty in leaf production thus far this year has occurred in leach ing of fertilizer from the soil. Many growers have found it necessary to replen ish original applications of fertilizer and to top dress leached land. o MEMORY VERSE: "And The little dabs of feather and veiling our women call hats add up to a 250-miIhon dollar a year retail business.

It shook violently and gave evidence of preferring to take pic tures of birds.
