Adapt fertilizer to your soil conditions, 200-500 lbs. 5-10-10 or 6-8-8 per acre on well-prepared seed bed. On potash deficient soils, use 8-8-12, or side-dress with ad ditional potash. 3. Provide adequate stands: flse seed of high germination, use cor rect site of planter plate (use a fil%jO adjust cell size if necessary), plan 14 to 20" apart in 3Ja 3 1/2 ft. rows. 4. Control weeds early, but avoid late or deep cultivation. Cultivate shallow (1/2 to 2"), until corn is 2 to 3 ft. high, then stop cultiva tion. 5. Side-dress just prior to or at time of the last cultivation with 2 lbs. actual nitr9gen for each addi tional bushel of corn desired above the normal acre yield of the field.

The health officeAommented flp the fact tiiat most of the grades were belo% A. He stated that this situation would be regretable, from the health standpoint at any season of the year, and that from the busi ness standpoint it was especially regrettable at this particular sea son when a large number of visi tors and vacationuist may be ex pected in this area. He said that it appeared that since the State Law permitted .grades of B and C, few operators of eating places made any serious effort to get into grade A. And in consequence of these low ratinft all other types of business suffer ed in this area; in other words clew eating places attract visitors amrthe more visitors the more stimulation to general business, Dr. Uonett concluded. Grades on dairies and meat mar kets will be released next week.

Forest fires in Carteret county within the past week have destroy ed approximately (3,000 worth of timber. ?E. M. Foreman, county fire warden, believes each onQ of the four fires was deliberately set. The largest, which covered 800 acres,* broke out Saturday after noon near Pettiford's creek in the western part of the county 4pd was not completely out until Sunday night. Twelve acres just east of Gales crert burned Thursday night and about 100 acres at Smyrna burned Thursday until the flames were quenched oy rain. Two acres which were burning late Sunday afternoon near the Villa hotel, Morehead City, yere put out by Mr. Foreman who saw the fire as he was returning from the Pettiford creek blaze Two hundred thirty-eight of the 800 acres were national forest land. The fire covered an area reach ing from the banks of Pettiford creek south to just above Bogue. More than 30 men from the for estry unit and volunteer helpers from a nearby pulp mill fought the fire continuously for several hours with the latest fireflghting equip ment before bringing it under control Sunday afternoon. Local officers of the Unitnd Staffs forestry service arc urging people who go into the woods at this time of the year to be especial ly careful with fire. They say that the woods are very dry and a spark can cause much damage if the fire gets out of control. One of the things which caused the fire to rage so loflg and covcr so much territory before being brought under control were higl^ winds Saturday afternoon. Slight showers Saturday night helped some but did not abate the fire to any appreciable degree. Besides the damage done to tim ber, the groung and wild life in the^rea, it cost the forestry ser vice more than $500 in salary and use of machinery to bring the fire under control. m ' Although the exact cause of the fire was not immediately known, It is believed that fishermen having boats on Pettlfbrd'a creek left a camp fire on the bank which was blown by the strong winds into the woods. An alert firfc tower operator some ten miles from the scene of the fire reported the blaze to Uip forestry service about 1 o'cldrk Saturday afternoon and the ser vice immediately dispatched sever al men with equipment to the area. Tlrebrcaks were made and dyna mite used in an effort to deter the flames but progress was made slow by the increasing wind.
