Some however are yellow, some white and a few like our subject may be red. The scarlet monkey flower is both red and yellow with the yellow for the most part on the outside of the tube. Weer it not for the color anyone who would recognize the common monkey flower of the Kast would name the scarlet kind as a monkey flower. Aa is often the case with at tractive wild flowers the scarlet monkey flower is sometimes grown | in gardens as an ornamental. With a slight attention to protection in winter it may survive in climates comparable to that of Massachu setts. It grows wild from Oregon | to Lower California and east I through Utah and Arizona. Like | i'- eas-tei il counterpart, it is found | in wet places and thc’Tore is to be j expected along the edges of water ■ The scarlet monkey flower , is a perennial hut may bloom the first 1 year if grown from seeds. Its! weak, erect stems may reach a j height of to 4 feet hut the height is usually much lower than this ! minimum. Naturally it get s sup port from surrounding vegetation. The plant is slightly sticky and provided with fine hairs. T he leaves are opposite, from 1 to 4 1-2 inches long, with shat ply toothed margins and without peti oles. . Prominent longitudinal veins further characterize the leaves of this plant as is shown in the ac companying illustration. The flowers appear from April through October in the natural range of the species, Pile fruit are capsules that may be 3-4 of an inch in length and the fine seeds are shed through the upper end. . . A yellow flowered specimen ot the scarlet monkey has been found near Lake Mead, Mohave County, Arizona. While the scarlet ninokey flower will grow exposed to the sun it usually does better in the shade. (In the southern part of its range, in Arizona and even into parts adjacent, to the Mexican border, it is found at elevation up to 8.500 feet rather t.han in the lowlands. In fact in this part of the range it is not to be expected at below 2,000 foot elevation. ! A variety verbenaceus is the plant most commonly spoken ofa.* | the scarlet monkey flower.

Farmers To See New Soybean Varieties Gaston County farmers who at tend a special field day at the Tidewater experiment Station near Plymouth September 15 will re two of the most outstanding soybean varieties yet developed. Astor Perry, Nickels for Know How peanut specialist, says the two new varieties. Lee and Jack son, have many of the character istics lone- sought by soybean pro ducers in this area. Lee in particular has been out standing in yield, shatter-resist ance and resistance to most of the common soybean diseases. Jackson has combined the qualities of the Volstate and Palmetto varieties, giving a tall plant high in yield. The Lee variety is well adapted to the Ogden area and the Jackson variety to the Roanoke area. Perry believes that Lee will eventually replace Ogden and that Jackson will partially replace the Roanoke Roth of these varieties were de veloped by the USD A at the North Carolina and Mississippi Experi ment Stations and represent many years of testing under various conditions. The Jackson variety has been in commercial produc tion by certified seed growers for two years and next year's seed supply should be adequate. Lee, however, was not released until this spring and will not he avail able in any volume until next years crop is harvested.

This fact, combined with the va riety’s resistance to purple stain, bacterial pustule, wildfire, and frog-eye, makes it North Caro lina's most outstanding soybean. Tobacco Farmers Are Urged To ‘Grade Carefully’ Columbus County Negro farm ers were convinced last week that there is still much to learn about grading and marketing their to .1. M. Spaulding. Negro county agent for the State College Ex tension Service, sa>s J. E. Jeffries, tobacco grading and marketing specialist, was unusually convinc ing as he explained some of the more frequently committed errors in grading and marketing. One of the biggest mistakes made by farmers, said Jeffries, is to become “unconcerned’' about their tobacco after it. reaches the warehouse floor. “That is' no time to become careless." Sometimes farmers are not in- j formed and are not acquainted with the market aevrage of tne J previous day and rely solely on : “the price support card." If the j farmers happens to be away when j his leaf si sold, often as not it,’.-''] just too bad. Spanking is urging all his fel low farmers to follow their tobac co right on through the sale. He thinks many of the errors will he promptly corrected when the far riers see what they are doing Use The Common Sense Plan When Buying Fall Clothing “I just haven’t, a thins to wear!” How many times have you heard that? Or said it yourself? What is it that makes girls say they have no elotihes when they have actually a closet full? Chances are. explains Mary him Lee, State College extension cloth" ing specialist that the “I just don’t have a thing to wear” di sease is prompted by impulse buy ing. There’s something about a “drastically” reduced price that can make even the most sensible buyer part with her money too According to Miss Lee, clothes that are really right, stay wear able—in quality and in line—over a long period of time. “Make every purchase a right one,” she cautions. “Practically every season, socie tv sets forth certain basic rules that we must, abide by if we want to feel well dressed,” adds Miss Right now, for example, the talk among women is of the Dior Look ■>nd what it. will do to the feminine silhouette. Put regardless of fash ion's peculiar whims, not every /omen can wear these exotic fashions successfully. Peeling comfortable in your clothing is one of the secrets to tieing well dressed. Know your own personality type, which colors are your best before you put out a lot of money this fall for a new suit or coat or dress. Buy with care and you’ll have an outfit you will he proud to wear. More Farmers Using Machines Within the last decades, much f the back-breaking work of farming has disappeared—thanks to increased mechanical power. No longer must the farmer rely sole ly on muscle power to get his farm tasks out of the way. Wright Parker, Gaston County a-distant farm agent for the State College Extension Service, says t.b» increase i nfarni mechaniza tion has- been pronounced since 1040. and especially in the South. Quoting recent USI>A figures, Parker said that from 1940 to 1053 the number of farm tractors of all typese in this country in creased about 185 pel' cent. For trucks, the increase was about 150 Numbers of farm tractors in the southern States bordering the Mississippi River and east of the river increased six times during the same period. On the other hand, farm auto mobiles for the country as a whole have increased since 1040 by less 'bar 10 per cent. hi nee ] :i i2, the number of f:\vnw with milking machinese has. increased iiy about ISO per cent, I while the number of field-type I coropiel e: s Has increased about | "ul per cent. The number of grain combines on farms in 1953 ex eeodde 950,000, compared to 375, ooo in 1945 and only about 69.-j 000 in 19,30. Pre-Pre-Packaging Aids Apple Growers Au'' ir-ul":i’ a! research ha- 1111 covorcd a new ah! for apple arid near growers. It's pre-packacking. Paul Kiser, County County farm agent for the State Collette Ex tension Service, says that trans parent plastic films such as Plio film, polyethylene, and eellopnane have already earned their -'ait in the prepackaging of fresh fruits and vegetables. Now some of these same transparent films are prov ing their w.orth in pre-packaging certain fruits. Results of recent USPA studies indicate that, certain sealed film box liners for fall and winter pears and Golden Delicious apples substantially lengthen the cold storage life and maintain the quality of these fruits, according to Kiser. These box liners also extend the fruits’ "shelf life” after removal from refrigerated storage. Physiological changes in pears, generally associated with progres sive ripening of the fruit in cold storage, were definitely retarded by the use of sealed film liners. While biochemical tests did not always reflect the benefit of seal ed film box liners for Golden De licious apples, visual and taste examination and a check of weight loss of the fruit during storage showed the value of this packing method. Certain precautions must he taken, however, when fruit is packed in these liners. Fruit should he free of surface abra sions and potential fungi infec tion, washed with an effective fun (Reports No. 6 & 6) America by 1975 will use almost wice the quantity of minerals it •i using this year. Demands for minerals as a whole may rise 90 per cent. Demands for iron, cop per, lead and zinc might rise 40 to 50 per cent in the next quarter The5 National Association of Manufacturers cites figures from the President’s Materials Policy Commission of June, 1952, to em phasize the great growth that lies ahead of us. It shows that beyond the rise m demand for lead, zinc, copper and iron, there might, be a 300 per cent increase in use of aluminum, and 1800-2400 per cent increase in use of magnesium. America by 1975 will have a labor force of approximately 88.6 million, the Research Department of the National Association of Manufacturers has reported. This means a growth of about 22.1 million above the present la bor force, and is an indication of the great growth that this country can expect. in citing this potential growth in the labor force, it- was empha sized that a proportionate increase in our real per capita income may be expected “if our economy con tinues to provide incentives for people to produce, to invent and to devise better ways of providing the increased goods and services our growing population will re FAMED EXPLORER’S NOTES FOUND IN ATTIC Hailed a? the “most important discovery in American history in decades,'’ a batch of old papers found in an attic turned out to be the lost notes otf the Lewis and Clark explorations.
