Garden Time BY M. E. GARDNER The soli In your vegetable and flower gardens should be the most carefully managed of any areas around the home or the farm. The reason for this Is the fact that we practice intensive methods of culture. For example, in the vegetable garden, we grow more than one crop each year on the same area ? succession cropping of snapbeans, sweet corn, etc. It Is possible that the soil may he In good physical condi tion and have good organic content and you are still not getting the results you should expect. If this be the case, you should have your soil tested, as It may be too alka line (sweet) or too acid (sour). The relative alkalinity or acidity of the soil is expressed as pH and can be accurately measured by a soil test. The pH meter is numbered from 3 (acid) to 10 (sweet). About the middle of this scale, 6.5, Is the optimum range for most of the fruit, vegetable and flower cropB. At this pH range nitrogen, phosphorus, potash, sulfur, calcium, mag nesium and Iron are available and can readily be absorbed by the plant roots. Let's take a critical look at one of the plant nutrients. Iron, and see what happens. At pH 6.5, slightly acid, as are most of our North Carolina soils, the Iron Is available. As we move toward 7.0 (sweet) and beyond, the iron Is "tied up" and becomes unavailable to the plant. The Inability of the plant to absorb Iron, in a sweet soil. Is what causes iron deficiency chlorosis in azaleas, camellias, rhododen dron, blueberry and other acid-loving plants. Chlorosis causes a yellow mottling of the leaves due to the loss of chlorophyll, which gives them green color. We should point out here that nitrogen deficiency will also cause yellowing of the leaves, but the yellow condi tion Is uniform on all plant foliage rather than the mott ling effect we get from Iron deficiency. Since most of our soils are on the acid side. It Is possible that nutrient deficiencies In the vegetable can be corrected by tbe addition of lime ? but you can't be aure without a soil test. All of this may be a little confusing, but I hope that It drives home the Importance of a soil test. Your county extension office or your teacher of agri culture oan provide containers for mailing samples to the soil testing laboratory. Instruc tions for collecting samples, and mailing, will be found on the container. Beauties Add Grace To Show Beauty queens will be an added attraction at the Robeson County Farm and Home Show for Eastern Carolinas. Winners of beauty contests, including N.C.'s "Miss Blueberry," "Miss Lumberton," N.C. and Robeson County "Princess Soya" and Miss Wontick ? Selenia," have been invited to take part in the show here February 17-18. Their appearance is tentatively scheduled for the second day of the show. Dr. George Hyatt, director of Extension Services at N.C. State University, will be one of the distinguished visitors that afternoon. On the first day, Herbert Carter, state manager of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, will take part in opening ceremonies. Evening entertainment will be country and western music by the Dixie Mountain Boys. "The girls will have more of an 'at home' background in this year's show," said Publicity Chairman Jack Sharp of the sponsoring Lumberton Rotary Club. Last year, at the first farm trade show here, beauty queens were surrounded by admirers and machinery. The location will be the same big Cooperative Warehouse, decorated and lined with exhibit booths. New farm machinery and supplies will be featured again, along with home equipment for the first time. Appliances, building materials, home ? making convenience items will be displayed in the expanded exhibition area. With more than a hundred booths and floor i paces reserved by farm and home organizations, dealers and distributors, Tommy Stroupe. Exhibits Chairman, said this year's show promises to top the successful 1970 event. Costs of the show are covered by exhibit space rental, and adm^sion will be free. Exhibitors *and local merchants are providing door prizes to be awarded hourly, both afternoons and nights. Ho mecoming Set Feb. 13 ?

Now Nancy is the adopted daughter of members of the Rosewood Extension Hotnemakers Club, Wayne County. At first, Nancy, whose mind is that of a four ? year ? old was shy and indifferent. Now she knows and recognizes her "mamas" and looks forward to their visits. During the holidays and on her birthday, the homemakers treat Nancy and the residents of her cottage to a party. The children love it and the women once again prove that the real joy is felt by the givers, Mrs. Evelyn Raper, home economics Extension agent, observes. Eating the right foods at home can mean alert, healthy workers on the job. So teachers in Job 70. a program for training future mill workers, have called on Extension agents for help in foods and nutrition. As an added bonus, at least ane member of a family enrolled in the Expanded Nutrition Program, has been hired through Job 70. Judy Stedman. associate home economics Extension agent. Cleveland County, says. Grandparents are very special people. They blend the wisdom of age with the gaiety of youth in a special way that can help contribute much toward a grandchild's character and education. Therefore, members of Hertford County Extension Homemakers Clubs, have decided to try a foster grandparents program. Each homemaker will select boys and girls in her community to assist in the same way she would her own grandchildren, Mrs. Clara Motley, home economics Extension atent, repots. Do ? it - yourself jobs in Rockingham County are becoming more and more popular with families in the house furnishings program. The high cost of building makes it necessary for families to do as much of the construction and decorating as possible.
