Seed Catalogues Deemed
Timely And Fascinatingi
Flowers Suggested In Homes as
Well As Vegetables For
Gardens
By Guy A. Cardwell
A study of seedsmen’s cata
logues is a fascinating and
timely occupation at' this sea
son. Aside from the artistic
l>eauty of some of these books,
there is a fund of valuable in
formation to be gained from
them.
mhere are many sources from
-which seed may be obtained,
some good, some indifferent, and
some bad. If we get hold of
poor seed or seed of varieties
other than those wanted, and
ordered, we are out of luck, as
the seasons and the years roll
by so fast that we cannot re
coup losses due to mistakes,
poor judgment, or other mis
fortune.
There are many reputable
seedmen in business, and it is
not my intention to reflect upon
them individually or collective
ly, for it stands to reason that
they are doing what they can
to protect themselves and their
customers, otherwise they
would lose their clientele.
When buying seed, either lo
cally or from a distance, be
sure to place your order for a
few hardy .ower seed for the
improvement of the home
grounds. The brilliant bloom
ing plants will give pleasure to
all beholders and cut flowers in
the house dress up the place and
brighten the family outlook on
life if it needs to be bright
ened.
iixperiencea growers oi truca
crops usually know what vege
tables can be marketed, and the
varieties most popular in the
markets to which their products
are shipped. There are certain
standbys, in combinations of
several commodities that are
ajrown in almost every vegeta
ble growing locally, as it has
been foipid prudent not to de
pend exclusively upon any one
truck crop.

It is possible that a few ex
perienced truck growers, with
good soil, and ample family la
bor, might specialize in some of
the rarer vegetables, and by
careful attention to the niceties
in preparation and packaging
for market might build a sub
stantial business through some
reliable connection or connec
tions in the central markets;
connections with a high class
restaurant and hotel trade.
It is predicted by the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics that
the production of truck crops
for market sihpment- in 1937
will exceed 1936 volume by
from five to ten percent.
Penderlea Spells Romance And
Future For First Newly-Weds
(Continued from Page One)
the first homesteading couple
to be married. They will not
be the first newly-weds to
settle at Penderlea, however,
for W. H. Robbins, communi
ty manager, estimates that
12 couples were awarded
homesteads shortly after
their marriages.
Mrs. Kendall’s parents
came to the project near two
years ago from South Caro
lina. The groom is a native
of Albemarle and has been
living with relatives at the
project for over a year.
Marriage is a requisite for
settlement in a homestead.
Homesteaders are selected
with the utmost of care, the
Resettlement Administration
aiming at enabling worthy
farm families the opportunity
of demonstrating a better
system of agriculture and J
solving the problem of ten
ant farming. Young married
couples are especially desir
ed as homesteaders.
Local citizenry took pride in
the occasion of Penderlea’s in
itial influence by Cupid, for
practically every business firm
here rushed to fete the couple.
They left here on their wedding
trip with their gasoline tank
filled by the Gulf Refining com
pany and the Purol company.
Before the ceremony the bride
and her maid of honor were
done over by Ballard’s Beauty
Salon and Curley Top Beauty
Shop while the groom sported
suspenders by courtesy of Mills
Men’s Shop and a freshly
cleaned and pressed suit by ei
ther Mallard’s Clothes Works
or Rivenbark Cleaners. He was
given the works by Dixon’s
Barber Shop.
Flowers worn by the bride
and her aid were furnished by
Mrs. A. J. Cavenaugh through
Will Rheder, Florist, and those
to decorate the Community
Center were the gift of A. H.
Carter’s bulb farm.
Upon their return to their
home at Penderlea the couple
will find sheets furnished by
Margolis and Liberman, and the
Hub Department Store. Pil
low cases from Turner’s, Inc.,
will lie underneath a bed

Soil Program At
Agents Meeting
Corn, cotton, tobacco, peanuts
harvested for nuts, broom corn,
sorghum when harvested, and
truck vegetable crops, includ
ing melons, strawberries, and
Irish and sweet potatoes. Wheat
oats, barley, rye, buckwheat,
and grain mixtures when cut
for grain or hay. Sudan, mil
let, and Italian rye grass har
vested for hay or seed. Bulbs
and flowers.
The following crops which
help build up or improve the
soil are to be counted as soil
conserving:
Sweet, red, alsike, white, and
mammoth clovers. Alfalfa, kud
zu, and sericea. Soybeans, vel
vet beans, field peas, and cow
peas. Vetch, Austrian winter
peas, bur and crimson clover,
crotalaria, and annual varieties
of lespedeza. Peanuts when
pastured. Sudan, millet, and
Italian rye grass not harvest
ed for hay or seed. Bluegrass,
Dallis, redtop, timothy, orchard
gras, Bermuda, carpet grass,
and mixtures of these. Rye,
oats, barley, wheat, buckwheat,
and grain mixtures not cut for,
grain or hay, provided a good]
growth is left on the land. For
est trees planted on crop land
since January ,1 1934, and
sweet sorghum that is not har
vested.
When land is used to grow
both depleting and conserving
crops, the entire acreage will
be counted once as soil-deplet
ing, and a part of all of the
same acreage will also be
counted as soil-conserving. j
When summer legumes are
I grown in combination with de
pleting row crops, the entire
acreage will be counted once
as soil-depleting, and half of
the same acreage will also be
counted as soil-conserving, pro
vided the legumes occupy at
least one-half the land and a
good growth has been attained.
IThis means, Criswell explain
ed, that in figuring the general
soil-depleting base for a farm,
the entire acreage of these mix
ed crops will be counted in.
And in determining the' soil
conserving acreage, one-half of
the same “mixed acres” will be
counted.
The entire acreage on whicn
mixtures of legumes and de
pleting crops (winter legumes
and small grains, or summer
legumes and annual grasses)
are harvested together shall be
classified as soil-depleting. One
half of the same land will be
counted in the soil-conserving
acreage if at least- 50 per cent
of the tptal growth harvested
consists of legumes.
When a depleting crop is har
vested and immediately follow
ed by conserving legumes or
perennial grasses the same
year, the full acreage will be
soil-depleting. One-half of the
same acreage will also be count
ed as soil-conserving. If the
legume is an annual winter
variety, the entire acreage will
be counted conserving as wll
as well as depleting.
When specified crops are
plowed under as green manure
after at least two months’ nor
mal growth on land from which
a commercial vegetable is har
vested • the same year, the en
tire acreage will be counted as
soil-depleting and as soil-con
serving. --
Land not used for producing
either depleting or conserving
crops, and devoted to the fol
lowing purposes, is classified as
neutral:
Vineyards, tree fruits, small
fruits, bush fruits, nut trees,
and nursery stock not inter
planted. Any portion of such
areas as are interplanted will
be counted as the actual acre
age of such interplanted crop.
Idle crop land, cultivated
land lying fallow, waste land,
roads, lanes, lots, yards, and
other similar non-crop land,
and woodland not planted to
forest trees since January 1st,
1934.

LESPEDEZA SERVES AS
CONSERVATION METHOD
Lespedeza is recognized as
one of the best crops a farmer
can grow to conserve moisture,
check erosion and add nitrogen
and organic matter to the soil.
Currently it may be counted
Jin a farmer’s soil-conserving
acreage, and they will help him
earn soil-building payments
under the soil - conservation
program.
February is the best' time to
sow common, Tennessee 76, and
Kobe lespedeza seed, says E. C.
Blair, extension agromist at
State College.
The best method to sow these
varieties is to drill the seed in
on top of small grain, he said,
with the seed not being drilled
in too deep. Around 150 to
200 pounds of 16 per cent sup
erphosphate to the acre should
fye drilled in with the seed.
When drilling, 20 to 25 pounds
of seed is adequate for an acre,
but if the seed is broadcast,
40 to 50 pounds will be needed
to produce a good stand, Blair
added.
When lespedeza i s sown
broadcast, the ground should
be harrowed lightly either just
before or just after the seed is
sown.
Blair explained that when
lespedeza is sown on land from
which soil-depleting crops such
as small grain are harvested
this year, the acreage will be
counted 50 per cent soil-con
serving.
But when lespedeza is grown
on land where no soil-depleting
crops are harvested, each acre
; of lespedeza will count as a
[full acre of soil-conserving
crops in determining a grow
er's allowance.
