Many dealers sell from 100 to 300 Florence

are a few good territories left in which there
is no Florence-Mayo dealer. The demand he

A Florence-Moyo dealership franchise meant
you will represent a product that has, many
years ago, established itself as the leader and
it vigorously maintaining that leadership.
A Florence-Mayo dealer can be proud of hit

Many times, O God, we have
displeased Thee. We have failed
to do those things we ought to
have done. We have committed
those acts we ought not to have
done. We pray Thee to renew our

teaches us to say when we pray,

Farm Questions
QUESTION": Is the legume
Rirdsfoot Trefoil recommended
for planting in North Carolina?
ANSWER: No. And if you try it
do so only on a small scale. Quite
often stands of this legume look
cood for a shmt time, then in a
very few days can be almost wip
.! out by a disease which is com
mon to Vorth Carolina rhizo
cmia. Research is s'ill being
conducted in the sandier areas
:'d the bluer.ass pastures in the
Upper Piedmont. Your chances of
success with this legume in North
Carolina are slim.
QUESTION: Can I use carpet
grass for my lawn in Winston-
Salem? Can it be planted for
forage?
ANSWER: About the only place
carpet grass is suitable for lawns
is in the Eastern part of the state.
Farmers have pretty well gotten
away from it as a forage plant in
North Carolina because other
plants such as orchard grass and
tail fescue respond to fertilization
and produce a lot more forage
under average conditions than
does carpet grass.
QUESTION: Have you any tips
for selecting a site for the home
garden?
ANSWER: These five sugges
tions should be of help: 1. Select
in area with good soil if possible;
2. If space is available, plan to
rotate your garden to prevent di
sease build-up, especially nema
todes: 3. Keep garden near house.
If possible, locate garden where
it can be irrigated; 4. Sites near
,
a
si
top of hill will escape early and
late frosts; S. Full sun is best.
Stay away from trees and large
shrubs.
QUESTION: As a sweet potato
grower, should I change from
Porto Ricos to the Goldrush va
riety?
ANSWER: Not entirely. Until
th market acceptability for the
Goldrush variety is more firmly
established, your best bet would
be to plant only part of your crop
in this variety. In tests Goldrush
variety sweet potatoes have out
yielded the Porto Ricos for three
years. While the yield of Gold
rush has been favorable, under
certain conditions it tends to vein
slightly. Also, it is quite suscep
table to internal cork, but has a
high degree of resistance to stem
rot, or wilt.

Wage rates paid by North Car
olina farmers were slightly high

earlier.

GARDEN TIME
During the past few weeks I
have received a number of calls
asking when pecan trees, fruit
trees, and shrubs should be fer
tilized and how the fertilizer
should be applied also what to
use.
For most trees and shrubs the
best time to apply fertilizer is at
the time the buds begin to swell,
or in other words, when spring is
just around the corner. At this
time the plants are beginning ac
tive root growth and leaf deve
lopment and are able to make
use of the soluble salts in the fer
tilizers. Sometimes, as in the case
of azaleas and many fruit plants,
part of the fertilizer is applied
when the buds begin to swell and
part of it in June when rapid
growth is taking place.
Although there is some varia
tion in the requirements of dif
ferent shrubs, it is usually safe
to apply three to four pounds of 1

type or the romper variety.
Youngsters are appealing because they are fas
cinating miniatures of the adult of the species. So
tiny . . . yet they look, and soon begin to act, like
smaller editions of the grown-ups.
That fact should make human parents deeply
conscious of their responsibility. Their own exam
ple and influence, and their provision for the child's
spiritual needs can make or mar a youngster's
character.
Churches are the chief allies of conscientious
parents. They provide consecrated Christian teach
ers, interesting graded lessons and the inspiring
worshipful setting for a child's moral and spiritual
training.
Will you help some church in this vital phase of
its work? Will you attend and support the Church?
Will you encourage parents you know to give their
children the advantage of the Church's teaching
ministry?
a 6-8-6 or similar mixed fertili
zer per 100 square feet of bed
space or from one fourth pound
to 1 pound around each shrub
where planted separately, depend
ing on the size of the shrub, A
6-8-6 fertilizer means that it
contains 6 per cent available ni
trogen, 8 per cent available phos
phoric acid and 6 per cent avail
able potash. A pint of fertilizer
weighs approxmiately one pound.
The fertilizer should be thorough
ly raked into the soil under the
shrubs and watered in if the soil
is dry. In the case of azaleas the
fertilizer may be applied on top
of the mulch. For these and other
acid loving plants there are spe
cial acid-reacting fertilizers a
vailable. Shade, fruit and pecan trees
require a little different treat
ment than shrub. The feed roots
of trees are not close to the trunk
but extend out to a zone under
and just beyond the tips of the
branches. Therefore, the fertilizer

should be applied In this zone
and not near the trunk. Apply one
to two pounds of a 6-8-6 mixture
the first year and about four
pounds per inch of diameter of the
trunk of the tree each year there
after. If the land is cultivated the
fertilizer may be raked or cul
tivated in; otherwise, it should be
applied in holes made with a
crow bar or post hole digger.
For grape vines, apply one
half pound of a 6-8-6 mixture
the first year, one pound each
the second and third year and two
to three pounds per vine each
year thereafter.
Stable and poultry manure is
an excellent fertilizer for trees,
shrubs, and vines and should be
used along with chemical ferti
lizers whenever available.
