A real iife international love story heart warmingly told. The unusual facts are presented in the February 13th issue of THE AMERICAN WEEKLY Magazine in colorgravure with the BALTIMORE SUNDAY AMERICAN Order From Your Local Newsdealer GARDEN TIME BY ROBERT SCHMIDT Gfost of our garden soils in North Carolina require heavy fer tilization in order to produce good yields of high quality vegetables and flowers. Also, our soils are generally deficient in organic mat ter. When good stable manure was plentiful it was not difficult to keep up both the fertility and the organic content ,of the garden soils, but with the decline in the horse population, the city gardens at least have lost their principal source of organic materials. Plant food in the form of salts of nitro ! gen, phosphorus and potash can j be adequately supplied by mixed ! fertilizers, commonly called “com j mercial fertilizers.” These are I made up of various inorganic and I organic materials and sold accord ' ing to specific formulae such as 5-10f*5. 6-8-fl, 8-8-8, etc. These figures mean that in a form ula, for example, the mixture contains six percent available nitrogen, eight percent available phosphoric acid and six percent available potash. Two hundred pounds of such a mixture contains somewhat, more available plant food than a ton of stable manure hut furnishes none of the valu able organic matter, beneficial bacteria and minor elements sup plied by manure. Commercial fertilizers ate made up of concentrated salts and must be used carefully. If they are allowed to come.into contact with germinating seeds, roots or leaves they may cause severe injury. Therefore, they should he thor oughly mixed with the soil in the garden or well watered in when applied on top as in lawn fertili Most fertiliber recommenda tions are given in pounds per acre which may be confusing to a gardener having a few 25 foe: •ow*. He. does not usually have : pair of scales handy. But he cap easily obtain a tin can holding 'one pint or a measuring cup hold ing one-half pint. A pint of com mercial fertilized weighs approxi mately one pound. So if the re commendation in the bulletin is 1.000 pounds of an S-S-S fertilizer per acre it would moan approxi mately 2 1-2 pounds per 100 square foot which would l o 2 1-2 pints by measure, For 25 foot rows spaced two feet apart that would figure 50 square feet or - about throe cups of fertilizer per row. An acre contains 4:1.500 square feet. STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS Question: Doe? the peach tree j make a good lawn or shade tree? : Answer: Not as good as dwarf- j size apple or pear trees because the hard peach pits are injurious to lawn mowers. Peaches are most practically placed on the edges of large gardens where the dropped fruit U no "handicap and their blossoms are within sight of the Question Is the popular pole type building acceptable for all type of farm building's? Answer: No. It is most adapted to the one-story building', but not for tile two-story building where footings are required. Although not acceptable in buildings that must meet certain sanitary re .ouirements. this type structure is inexpensive, easy and quick to build, reeds loss skilled labor to construct, can be made of rough lumber, and is convenient.

Bird lovers who witness the blind panic ol a flock of sparrows threatened by a shnke may g-owl ."■with venom tna' it is nothmg hut a ** ditcher bird." Orchard is'.s whose trees have been girdad by tniee are i: eiined to praise any bi.d large or small that through the destruc tion of mice 'may tie considered as useful. Not so obvious is the services these birds rend'eryin the destruction of insects. The insects are usually eaten whole and im mediately and become a thing of the past. The mouse or small bird may be stuck on a thorn of a tree and left there for any passerby to seee. All serious studies of these birds have come, to the conclusion that on the whole they are useful. Certainly trey are interesting at all times. The species shown here breeds from southeastern Manitoba to New rtruhswi'k and south to north -astern Texas and Virginia. Other species extend this range considerably. Our species winters from the Mississippi Valley and Texas to southern New England. Th:- shrike is about an inch shorter than the northern shrike a.sd measures fust over !• inches. Tt has a -l-’tich tail and a 13-inch wingspread. Tie female is small er- than the male. The related northern shrike has a breast that is slightly barred. Roth are es sentially gray birds with light throats, dark a’-ea.s on the wings, some white on the tail and a black broad streak from the hill through the eyes and to the back of the face, To some, it seems appropriate that this . bird should wear what appears ro he a black Shrike- ,aro inclined to peren high and alone. When attacking nr when taking flight they usually dron from their perch and fly direetlv toward their goal with a steady wing beat. At the end they mav make a sharp upturn before conr’ng to a stop. The nest of shrikes is a bulky affair of sticks and weeds with a soft linin'- of feathers and irrass or wool. It mav he from "■ to 20 feet above the ground and is commonly in a tree or shrub. Or chards often are favored areas for shrike nests. Four to five pggs, each about an inch lontr. are laid. Incubation for about two weeks is shaded bv both par ents hut is mostly the hen’s re sponsibility. There may be two broods a year. As suggested earlier the food is animal matter. It includes a great variety of animals, however. Frogs, shrews, snakes, birds, mice and insects large and small are sought, caught and wrought into meals for the =hrike family. The larger northern shrike of the West is considered a most ef fective check on the gopher pop ulation. !*>>-> well known are the habits of these birds as mouse killers that it is not surprising that they are all protected by law as song birds. There are records of the larger shrikes attempting to cap ture caged canaries behind closed windows in a house. Probably the owner of such canaries would hardly appreciate the legal pro tection given the shrikes. But it is to the understanding of such problems in nature that the Na tional Wildlife Federation devotes much of its resources. —E. Laurence Palmer The cotton carryover is expect ed to be substantially reduced by late summer in spite of the fact that synthetic fibers will continue to claim a larger share of the market.

It's Time Now To Plan And To Plant Gardens Your vegetable garden begins in your easy chair—from where yo ustudy the catalogs and pteo just what you wi.l grow. And ac cording to Hose Ellwood Bsyan, State College extension specialist in food conservation, ;t’s time now to prepare for the 1955 gar den and food conservation season. Plan now your garden with the whole family. And make a food plan for the year figuring just what part of your foods dollar will go toward home-grown foods. According to State College hor ticulturists, now is a good time to start cabbage. lettuce and broccoli from seed if you didn't do this last October or November. You can start your seed in indi vidual containers—paper cups, asl meal boxes and milk cartons with the top half removed. Plant several seeds in each container and thin to one plant when the plants are an inch or so high. A sunny window is a good p'ace for a few plants. Hotbeds or cold frames, of course, are better. Tomato plants may also be start d thi- way in February and March. You'll have to keep to mato plants in the window or in a hotbed for some time since they won’t stand cold weather. According to State College spe .inl -ts. vour garden will not only add" from S200 to $500 each vear to your income, hut what’s even more important, it contribu tes to the health of your family !»ocausc it furnishes them with flesh vegetables and fruits that contain many valuable vitamins, m i minerals. Properly Managed Sheep Can Be Very Profitable A farm (lock of sheep, properly managed, is a profitable enter prise on .many North Carolina farm.-, according to .T. 8. Buchan an, extension animal husbandry specialist at State College. Buchanan says that the outlook for price.- that, farmers will re ceive for lambs and wools this year i.s very encouraging and that some farmers would do well to cither start or expand a sheet) flock at this time. According to farm flocks rec ords turned in by 42 sheep pro ducers in 12 different counties in the state in 1954. the average gross income from the sale of a mbs and woo! was $25.42 per ewe. The average cost of keeping a ewe for the year was reported as $11.80, leaving a net profit of $]s.02 per ewe. Western ewes seem to he our best source of breeding stock 'Mtuchanan says. These can be pur chased through the North Caro lina Department of Agriculture, Division of Markets. Any farmer interested in pur chasing some western ewes should contact his county agent on how Schedule Of Social Sec. Representative The schedule of visits to sur rounding communities by a social security representative during 1 the month of February was re leased today by Joseph P.

Dearstyne, head of the poultry science department at State Col lege, there's nothing much you can do about it. The poultryman's best bet «s to destiny all birds showing a weli designated case of leucotie-type leg weakness. These birds cannot be numbered among those that .\ i'! ray a profit to the owner. However, if the number of cases of leg weakness occurs on a small scale, there is no reason for the poultryman to get alarm ed. Dearstyne adds. If this lame ness occurs on a large scale, a cnre.fr' tudy of the situation should be made and typical cases submitted to a poultry disease laboratory for autopsy. Dearstyne says that a .survey of vital statistics of poultry conduct ed by the poultry department at State College indicates that the leueotic type of leg weakness is far more prevalent than other types. Known as a disea of youth, the time of onset ranged in birds from six weeks to 12 months of age in 127 cases found in autopsy work at State College during the period 1947-50. There is no known medical treatment that will correct the neural leucosis and seldom, if ever, do birds make a natural re-' and when the order can oe placed for these ewes, Buchanan con Army Home Town News Center, Kansas City, Aik)., Jan. 28—Cpl.

According to the study, 44 per cent of all disabled post-Korean veteran-trainees have chosen high level objectives in the professions and in the managerial field. Of the World War II disabled who received training, 35 percent selected such objectives. Thus far, 23,000 disabled Korea veterans have enrolled in the four-year-old training program un der Public Law 894. Another 606,000 veterans disabled in World W!ar II have trained under Public Law 16, a companion bill in effect nearly 12 years. Thirty-five percent of the Korea veterans trained for trade and industrial occupations — such as machinist, repairman and the like —compared with 38 percent of the World War II group. Farm training attracted 6 percent of the Korea veterans and 14 per cent of the World War II vetor Eleven percent of the Korea \eterans and six percent of th“ World Wiar II veterans trained for clerical positions. Sales train ing accounted for only two per cent of the Korea veterans. Five percent of those who served in World War II chose this course. Among the post-Korea disabled veterans who selected profession al training, accounting was the most popular subject.. Teaching ranked a close second, followed by engineering, science and law.
