Ay AAA OFFERS PAYMENT | FOR A HOME GARDEN J Farmers of North Caro tunity to earn a conserva tion payment in 1940 by planting a home garden, announces E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer of State College. One unit of or $1.50, is offered for the planting of a garden consisting of not less than one-tenth of an acre per person. In families contain ing more than ten persons, a one acre garden will suf fice to qualify for the pay ment. 1 Floyd said that the re quirements are that the garden be adequately pro jected from poultry, and livestock, that good cultural methods be 'followed, and that proper steps be taken ; to control insect pests. Irish potatoes, street pota- j toes, corn ,atf<j field peas may be planted elsewhere on the farm. , The AAA recommends ( that three or more differ ent Vegetables be growing ( fn. the garden each mopth , for at least eight months of ( the year. Not more than . one-fourth of the garden 1 area shpujd be planted to , .one vegetable at any , one time. ( The Triple-A officer sug gested that farmers write ] to the Agricultural Editor , at State College, Raleigh, for one of several publica tions on home gardens. The Extension horticulturists at the college also have materials on the same “sub ject which will be sent free to interested persons. H. R. Niswonger and L. P. Watson, horticultural specialists, say that every home garden should contain at least 12 different kinds of vegetables, exclusive of Irish and sweet potatoes, and that a variety of small fruits should also be grown 'V- • -Burnsville Will Participate f In Proposed Florida Tour —. —r™—- f-r-- - ™ ju. v- - • 9 FUNERAL IS CONDUCT ED FOR JOE SHEPHERD Funeral services for Joe Shepherd, 86; who died at his home at Bald Creek at 2 o’clock Friday morning following a long illness, were held Saturday after noon at 2:30 o’clock at the Bald Creek M e tho dis t church.

R. Harrill, 4-H leader at State College, has anno unced thax an enrollment goal of 55,000 farm boys and girls has been set for 194 °. ; During the year just clos* etj— siignuyu* more —trran 49,000 wqpl enrolled in North Carolina clubs. The organization stretched from seacoast to the mountains, and rural youth received instruction and guidance in 1,529 clubs. This figure in cluded both white and Negro members. In outlining the pro gram for 1940, Harrill and Miss Frances MacGregor, assistant club leader, have urged farm and home agents, the club advisers, to plan the year carefully so that an ever greater inter est will be taken in projects and in the club meetings. Likewise, they have sug gested that more local adult leaders be used in further ing the work. The local leader is generally acknow ledged as the person on whom depends the success or failure of an individual , club. In some cases, local lead ers are brought to the co unty seat where they un dergo a training period to acquaint them more fully with the purposes and aims of 4-H Club work as well as to give them new ideas for conducting club meetings. It has also been suggested by the State 4H leaders that agents plan a full year’s program in advance. 'This will enable them tb get a broader view of "the work, and at the same time the dub members will know their monthly assignments well in advance.^ Likewise, the leaders ad vised more personal con tacts with club boys and girls. This will enable the agents to know more de finitely what projects the members are capable of carrying out. r ' 1 -T"*"' ' " "i" on -the farm, .. . |y/ - !
