DUPLIN HOME AGENT GIVES GARDEN HINTS Facts On Home Gardens Giv en For Guidance Of Resi dents Of This Section The hot, dry weather has beer hard on the garden as well as the fleid crops, but we must keep on planting and when il does rain we will have seed ir the ground which should grow rapidly. Additional plantings of both bush and pole snapbeans and butter beans should be made during the first and last part ol June. Okra, corn and blackeyed peas should be planted also. An other planting of peppers and tomatoes will extend the season of these very desirable vege tables. Tomato seed can be plant ed where they are to remain and the plants protected and thinned out to one plant after they are up. If plants are used they should be planted as deep as possible; leaving the bed about two inches above the soil. This is necessary in order that the roots may be placed below the upper layer of soil which usually becomes very dry and warm during the sum mer months. Sweet potato plants should be set not later than June 10 for best yields. Early plantings have a longer period for growing and a larger yield of prime potatoes will be produced. Fertilize the sweet potatoes with a fertilizer analyzing 3-8-8 and apply at the rate of 800 to 1,000 pounds per acre depending on the soil. Do not put compost or manure in the drill with the plants. It will cause the potatoes to be discol ored and cracked and they will have a very poor keeping quality. Go over your watermelon patch and pick off and remove from the field all bottleneck and other misshapen melons. These cannot produce melons if left on the vines. Watch out tor the bean beetle md tomato worms. If these pests ?et a start they are hard to con trol. These can be controlled by using 75 percent Rotenone dust, rhis dust is still rather expens ive but it is good, both as a con tact and stomach poison and is not injurious to human beings. In dusting beans be sure to get the dust on the underside of the leaves as this is where the bean beetle works. This insect seldom eats all the way through the leaf but leave s avery thin layer of the upper side of the leaf un touched and, therefore, fails to get the poison which is on top of the leaf. However dust should be applied on the top as well to control the bean leaf beetle that is eating all those round little holes out of your bean leaves. When you have completed gath ering a crop from your beans, it is best to remove the plants and destroy them immediately so they will not furnish a breeding and feeding place for this insect. Keep your strawberry bed clean and renew any vacant hills with runners during late June or July. Runners set at this time will produce a much larger crop next spring than will runners set in the fall. Cut off all the canes from your dewberries after the crop has been harvested and apply aboul 250 pounds of Nitrate of Soda per acre. This will aid in the pro duction of good strong canes foi next year’s crop. Says Potatoes Make Excellent Ho£ Feed Irish potatoes boiled in salt water make a good, inexpensive hog feed, says H. W. Taylor, ex tension swine specialist at State College. The bumper crop of potatoes produced in Eastern North Car olina this spring have- driven prices to a low point and made second grade and cull potatoes available at an unusually low cost, he added. Inferior grade spuds can be fed to hogs profitably, he con tinued, and this will help reduce the surplus that demoralized the market. But be careful not to feed raw Irish potatoes, he continued, as they may injury the porkers. Cooked spuds are nutritious and harmless if fed with corn, fish meal or tankage, and pas turage, Taylor explained. Three to four pounds of potatoes have about the same feed value as a pound of com. With each three to four pounds of spuds, he said, feed at least a pound of corn. Too many (spuds will throw the ration out of balance. I If the potatoes are boiled in salt water they will be more Cardwell Gives Fanners Hilts On Cantaloups And Grading Methods By Guy A. Cardwell, Agricultural & Industrial Agent, Atlantic Coast Line R. R. Co. The fine flavor of this health ful melon, a source of vitamins A, B, and C, is eargerly antici pated by thousands of gourmet, who welcome the fruit with op en mouths. Imagine the disap pointment of these epicures if the melon has been picked green and ripened enroute, and comes to the table flat and flavorless. There are different ways for flavor. Ripening on healthy vines is the secret of well-flavor ed melons. The best test for detecting a vine-ripened cantaloup is to ex amine the stem scar. If the scar is smooth, clean and cup like, it means that the melon was picked at “fullslip” or when ripe enough for the fruit to se parate easily from the stem. A melon picked at “halfslip” or at a less ripe stage, will have some of the stem still adhering. If there is a little secretion of su gar around the stem scar, it is a pretty good indication that the melon is sweet. Growers and shippers of can taloups in western producing areas have realized that a de creased demand is the penalty which promptly follows the ship ment of melons picked green and melons of poor quality. To day by improved methods these western producers are aggress ively attacking the problem of getting vine ripened melons to consumers a long distance from growing centers. Ameircans are accustomed to buying many varieties of musk melons under the trade name “cantaloups.” In reality the can taloup is a variety of muskmelon common in Italy but not com monly grown in this country. Cantaloup seeds, imported from Armenia, were first cultivated in western Europe in the vicinity of the Castle of Cantaloup in Italy. We have borrowed the name and use it as a blanket term for many different varie ties of muskmelons. The Netted Gem group, deve loped for the most part at Rocky Ford, Colorado, is grown exten sively for the commercial mar ket. Hales’ Best and Hearts of Gold varieties are popular with, large growers because of their excellent shipping qualities. Little time as possible must be lost in grading^and packing melons for market. They should, if possible^ be hauled directly from the field to the packing shed and promptly graded, pack ed, and loaded on cars. The important thing is to protect the melons from the sun when once picked and to get them packed for market as quickly as possi ble. A container of U. S. No. 1 grade cantaloups must measure up to the following qualifica tions: The melon must be firm and mature—meaning they must have reached a stage of develop ment that will insure proper completion of the ripening pro cess. They must be free from cracks, sunburn, decay, and from damage caused by dirt, moisture, hail,d isease, and insects. Ten percent by count of the melons may be below the requirements of this grade but not over 5 percent of this tolerance may be allowed for any one defect and no tolerance for decay. Can taloups which fail to rate U. S. No. 1 grade are ungraded. Claims Filed With Social Board Now More than Two Hundred Daily Claims for lump-sum and death i payments under the Federal old age benefits program are being received by the Social Security Board at the rate of 250 a day from the Raleigh Field Office and the 139 other field offices the Board throughout the coun try, Stacy W. Wade, Manager af the Raleigh office at 116 S. Salisbury Street, said today. Three weeks ago the daily average was 35 claims from all aver the country. There have been 28 claims fil ad through the Raleigh office. At present the average number laily passing through the Re gion IV office is 18. These are not all the claims filed in Region IV, which comprises the District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia and West Vir ginia, inasmuch as some are fil ed directly with Board head totaling $1,765.00 weer received quarters by persons who are not aware of the help which will be given them by the Raleigh of fice or their nearest field office. “The attitude of the Social Se curial Board,” Mr. Wade said, “is expressed in' the following statement made by it: ‘While it is not our intention to institute or originate claims, we stand ready to cooperate in every way necessary when informed of the existence of a bona fide claim ant’. intormauon aooui uie exis tence of a claimant may be com municated with the Raleigh field office in an informal fashion ei ther by the claimant or by a friend acting in his behalf. “The Board’s policy pf simpli fying claims procedure is shown by the fact that signed physi cians’ or undertakers’ state ments will be accepted in place of official death certificates. This will eliminate unnecessary ex pense to the claimant. “The experience of the Board with claims reveals that the number of Federal old-age pay ments are now made to workers 65 years of age and over and to estates of workers who have died before reaching that age is palatable, and will furnish part of the salt the animals need. The salt water, however, should be thrown away, as it is harmful to hogs. When thoroughly cooked, the spuds are easily digested and are a good source of minerals, carbohydrates, and vitamins. The skins also provide rough age. greater in New York than in iny other State. The Board de clared also that about 70 per cent of all Federal old-age bene fits now being paid are on be half of employees in establish ments employing less than 50 workers. “Certification for payment of claims now being presented is supplementary to the major phase of the program which be gins in 1942 with the payment of monthly retirement benefits to qualified workers aged 65 or over. As the number of bene ficiaries increases, it becomes in creasingly important for every eligible worker to possess a so cial security account number, since the payments are made on the basis of all wages received by the worker which can be counted toward benefits and re corded in his social security ac count.” BUREAU GIVES ANT CONTROL SUGGESTIONS Ants become a constant annoy ance at this season of the year because of the damage they do to lawns and flower beds and because of their presence in the kitchen and pantry. Because there are about 95 kinds of ants known in North Carolina, their control is a dif ficult problem. What is effec tive against one kind of ant is not always effective against an other. Dr. Z. P. Metcalf, head of the department of zoology and en tomology at State College, re commends that the insects be destroyed in their nests. If they occur in lawns or in rotten logs, the ants may be eradicated by using calcium cyanide or carbon disulphide. Calmium cyanide is a deadly poison, but may be handled out of-doors by any responsible per son. It should be scattered over the nests at the rate of about two ounces per square foot and then worked into the soil with a trowel. Carbon disulphide, being more explosive than gasoline, should also be handled carefully. To use this compound, make small holes with a pointed stick to a depth of half a foot or more and pour in about a teaspoonful of the liquid in each hqle. The holes should not be over a half foot apart. Some ants are attracted by sweets and other by fats, Dr. Metcalf points out To make a sweet bait boll together one pound of sugar, one pint of water, and 125 grains of arsen ate of soda until the mixture is thoroughly dissolved. Then add one tablespoon of honey. To make a bait for those ants which prefer fatty foods, mix to gether one pound of bacon fry Ings and one ounce of tartar emetic. Keep all baits out of the reach of children and irres ponsible persons, Dr. Metcalf warns. Farm Youth Holds Key to Hie Future The welfare of the Nation largely is dependent upon the farm families of the South. This keynote was struck at the Older Youth conference held at State College last week and at tended by 101 North Carolina farm boys and girls from Per quimans County in the east to Haywood in the west. The family as an institution is the bulwark of the Nation, but in the big cities the family is breaking down, said Dr. O. E. Barker, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. While the birth rate is declin ing seriously elsewhere, it still exceeds the death rate on sou thern farms, and in 100 years, he said, most of the nation’s popu lation will have descended from southern stock. “You young people hold in your hands the destiny of the Nation, he declared, “and you have within your power the ability to build up a country that will endure through the ages.” Col. J. W. Harrelson, adminis trative dean of the college, also stated that economic changes are bringing agricultural districts to the front, while great cities built largely on wealth produced else where have already seen their heydey. Dean I. O. Schaub, director of the State College extension ser vice, pointed out that one of the major problems of agriculture is how young people who wish to start farming can secure land of their own. Few have the cap ital required to buy and equip a farm of any size. * The purpose of the conference, said L. R. Harrill, 4-H club lead er at the college who had charge of the conference, is “to give in formation, training, and inspira tion which will help young men VENTURER T1 Read about his and women select inte the vocations for which they best fitted.” WEALTHY PLAYBOY TURNS SI thrilling adv wbu co ju a platinum itTat, a new novelett mystery by Max Bra it in The American Weekly wit Sunday’s Washington Herald.
