VEGETABLE ROTATIONS
1 Crops grown in the fall garden
often determine what will be grown
in the spring. The need to rotate
crops is the reason.
Experienced vegetable gardners
know the value of proper crop
rotation. They are aware that
certain vegetables planted year
after year in the same plot will
decline in productivity.
? The factors that interact to effect
| productive potential of the soil
must be considered by gardeners
who wish to plant many kinds of
vegetables in the same garden each
year.
Some , of the most important
factors to consider in planning a
proper vegetable crop rotation are:
soil borne diseases, nematodes, soil
insects, organic matter, toxic
chemical residues and the level of
essential mineral elements.
k In a small garden it is advisable
to rotate families of vegetables
where only a few plants of each
kind are planted. For example,
tomato, pepper, eggplant, and
potato can be treated as a single
crop in a rotation. Gardeners with
"green thumbs" pay close attention
to crop rotation.
Storing Winter Squashes and
. Pumpkins
? Gardeners should make every
efffort to protect the fruits against
skins and bruises during harvest.
The fruits should be placed in a
cool, dry location after they have
been harvested.
Unharvested vegetables on the
vine will prevent the plant from
continuing to bear. For example, a
squash vine is programmed to grow
only 5 to 6 fruits to maturity, but
this same vine is capable of
/ producing IS to 20 fruits if they are
harvested at the proper maturity
stage before the seeds start to
harden
ThlFsame principle holds true
for other crops like okra, beans,
tomatoes, eggplant, pepper, and
cucumbers. Gardeners should be
reminded that maximum yields are
obtained by harvesting all fruits of
edible size or age as soon as
P possible to make room for more
young fruits on the plant.
TASK FOR AUGUST
--Check garden for nematodes.
? Sidedress tomatoes, peppers,
eggplants, okra, and pole beans.
?Proceed with planting the fall
garden.
?Plow under crops when harvest
is completed.
---Continue to control weed,
^insects, and diseases.
? --Work on controlling blossom
end rot on next year's tomato crop.
?Irrigate fall crops.
Bridge Closed
The Division of Highways of the
North Carolina Department of
Transportation closed the bridge
on Phillips Church-George Overton
QRoad (Secondary Road 1422) in
Hoke County Friday approximately
one week, according to Division
Engineer H.H. Jordan.
Located over Puppy Creek, the
bridge was closed to allow DOT
maintenance crews to make bridge
repairs. It will reopen August 15.
Traffic will utilize local roads.
Leon Jackson, bridge mainte
nance supervisor, said that every
effort is being made to complete the
project as soon as possible to
minimize any inconvenience to the
traveling public.

Mattie and J.W. Singletary at 405

If you ever had your children
play little league ball you will
understand the following letter:
Dear Editor,
As an interested parent, I have
been an avid fan of the Recreation -
sponsored T-Ball, Little League
games for years. The Recreation
Department and volunteer coaches
should be commended for their
patience in working with our
children.
As a spectator, I have been in a
position to witness the type of
reactions these children are given
while they participate in this sport.
May 1 share with your readers some
poetry ? author unknown ? (no
explanation needed).
Donna L. Bernhardt
JUST A LITTLE BOY
He stands at the plate with his
heart pounding fast;
The bases are loaded; the die has
been cast.
Mom and Dad cannot help him; he
stands all alone.
A hit, at this moment, would send
the team home.
The ball nears the plate; he swings
and hepjisses;
There's'a groan from the crowd,
with some boos and some hisses.
A thoughtless voice cries, "Strike
out the bum."
Tears fill his eyes; the game's no
longer fun.
Remember, he's just a little boy
who stands all alone.
So open your heart and give him a
break
For it's moments like this a man
you can make.
He's just a little boy and not a man
yet.

Wyatt Upchurch was by the
office last week and left an article
concerning poultry manure.
The article states: "The nutrient
value of poultry manure produced
in North Carolina in 1979 which is
considered economically recover
able is estimated at approximately
$22 million. This value is equiva
lent to about 3 percent of the gross
farm income from poultry."
Of course this is of interest to
poultry growers, but it was of
interest to me because I can
remember my father getting
manure out of his horse and mule
stable each year for the garden. I
was wondering what or how many
phone calls would go into city hall
today if manure was broadcast over
these garden spots in Raeford and a
good wind would come from the
opposite direction.
Time marches on!

Dale Teal had the program at the

introduced Mrs. Jean Johnson who
has just returned from a trip to
China. She presented a slide
presentation which was very in

Watching the news on Channel
11, Durham last week brought
forth a face on the screen which
made me look the second time.
The reporter was talking to a vice
- president of CP&L about in
creased electricity rates and said he
was talking to James M. Davis, Jr.
This is the son of Mrs. Bessie
Sessoms Davis, who lives on East
Donaldson Avenue, and the late J.
Minor Davis who worked for The
News-Journal when I started to
work here 45 years ago.
It is good to see people you know
rise to high positions in large
companies.
