How Does Your Garden Grow? By JULIA 0. COPELAND Im)?hn jam look these day* poo tee someone with a rose bush under hit or her arm. Now some one has laid that a beautiful r0M bush is a great blessing to one who lores flowers. It can be viewed as ?w of Cod's greatest gifts to hu manity. So, I decided to plant a rose bush too, but I knew if I just stuck K in the ground it would never live, so I asked my better-half how to plant it and this is what he told me to do. Souds like a M of work, but if I can get a few roses now and then it will be worth it Dig a hole two feet squsre and two feet deep. If the ground la sog gy and poorly drained, place one peck of oyster shell, gravel or broken clay pots in the bottom of the hole to provide drainage. Then mix one half bushel of peat moss or well-rotted cow manure with the same amount of soil, plus one pound of bone meal. Put this In the hole and then plant the rose bush with knot, or bud union, level with the lop of the (round. Spread out the root* la the natural por tion in which they grow, after hav ing pruned off the Injured portion of any broken, bruited or diaoaaod one*. Cover wMh aiara of the top soil and firm into place by tramping with the feet. Aa aoon ai rooti are well covered, poor two or throe gallons at water in the hole to fin ish settling the soil around them. Then put in more soil until the bole is filled. Leave a slight de pression around the plant to hold water so that it will seep in around the plant instead of running away from it The rose hash seems to have a vigorous appetite ao it should be fertilized about ooce a month with t-M fertilizer or apecial rose food, using one handful scattered eight inches from the trunk. Water In with the hose. Keep the plant mulched about three inches deep each growing season with peat moss, pine needles or some comparable material. Keep your rate baih growing and blooming from rear to year br proper pruning and (praying. Moat buah roses are naturally vigorous growing, therefore they can be pruned rather severely without la Jury to the plant In (act they should be pruned in this way to bold the plants in check Prune these so as to leave only the strong healthy canes and cut these back to a height o< about 11 inches or two feet. Prune in early spring before growth starts. Climbing roues should be pruned only by cutting out 'the dead and diseased branches, leaving the vigorous canes to produce blooms. These can be cut back to reduce the size of the plant if necessary. Dust or spray rose bushes after every rain, using a combination rose spray to keep down such dis eases as rose mildew, black spot, brown canker and brand canker. You can use your oil spray and malathion to kill the aphids, bee tles, red spider and scale insects which might attack your bush. Good News About r By Harry Veitcn, 4-H Advisor | ?? The Fourth Annual Coastal Caro lina Market Stock Show and Sale will be held in New Bern April 1. Place of the show will be the Agri cultural Show Barn on highway 70 just west of New Bern city limit. Any person farming in Craven, Carteret, Jones, Pamlico and Beau fort countics will be eligible to ex hibit and compete for premiums. Both swine and beef cattle will be exhibited. In the swine department, adult exhibitors will be awarded pre miums of $3 each for hogs grading choice No. 1 and $1 for hogs grad ing No. 2. Junior exhibitors which include 4-H Club members and regularly enrolled FFA students will receive $4 for each choice No. 1 hog and $2 for choice No. 2. Each exhibitor may exhibit a total of eight hogs. He can have two pern of three hogs and two indlviduali. The classes are broken down Into Light weight (180-210 lb.) and heavy weight (211 240 lb.) divisions. Hogs not within these weight limits will be dis qualified. The beef cattle department is open only to junior exhibitors with Individual fat ateers. Premiums will be awarded on a grade basis: prime $16.00, choice $12.00, and good $8. Grand Champion and Reserve Champion animals will be picked from the two top animals in the light weight and heavy weight group. A trophy will be awarded to the Grand Champion. A county groap of three fat steers will be selected and a first prize of $15 awarded to the county show ing the best three steers. Second and third prizes of $10 and $5 will also be given. One of the most interesting events is the Fitting Showmanship Contests for juniors who exhibit steers and hogs. If you are fashion conscious you will want to come and see what the well-groomed steers look like this year. A first prize of $15 will be awarded to the winner of this contest, $10 to the second place winner and $5 to the third place winner. Our county will be represented by three steers and I know some swine producers that are planning to exhibit hogs. If you have some hogs that will be tops about April 1, let me see them. You probably have some that would be profitable for you to show. They do not have to be pure-bred, as it is market type we are looking for. This is a show you will not want to miss. Judging of hogs is from 8 a.m. to 9:30, judging of cattle 9:30-11:00, fitting and showman ship contests for junior exhibitors 11-12. The sale will begin at 2 p.m. with hogs being sold first. More than 90 per cent of Austria is centered around mountain re sorts. ALL-ELECTRIC MEDALLION WAY I In rough weather, the real double trouble on washdays is how to wash and dry loads of clothes.
