A Partnership Entered as second-class matter November 11th, 1936, at the Post Office, at Burnsville, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. / SPECIAL VEGETABLES FOR HOME GARDENS Gardeners who wish to put in asparagus, lettuce,] strawberries and other ■ small fruits not generally grown, should get busy at once, say Extension horti culturists at State College. They suggest that a wid er variety of vegetables and fruits will not only in crease the food supply but, will also add a delightful change to the family menu and make gardening much more interesting. A special War series Bul letin, No. 30, has just been issued by the State College Extension Service to fill the needs of just such gar deners and it is free for the asking. Write the Agri cultural Editor, State Col lege, Raleigh, requesting a free copy of this bulletin. It contains interesting in formation on how the city , gardener, may construct a frame garden. Tobacco growers will find that the tobacco plant bed is an ex cellent place for a frame garden and can be used to advantage in growing ve getables on the long, hot days in summer. The bulletin also contains information on the grow ing of onions. The time of planting is February for the Tidewater and Coastal Plain regions; February and March for the Pied mont region; and the low er altitudes of the moun tains in February and the higher altitudes in March. In growing onions the gardener should be careful to follow' the best methods of cultivation, harvesting, and curing and these are outlined in the bulletin. Other valuable garden publications by the State College Extension Sendee are the Garden Guide, No 261; a Guide for controll ing diseases in the vege table garden, No. 265; Ve getable Insect Control Guide, No. 13; and Garden Manual, No. 122.

Extension farm manage ment specialists at State College suggest that with corn, for example, the early breaking of the land, the application of 300 pounds of fertilizer per acre ahead of planting, and the prepar- \ ation of a good seed bed, so as to get the crop in the j ground at the “right in early spring, will not only result in larger yields; j but will also help to save on] ■ labor. 14. Corn planted in a good, well prepared seed bed has less chance of getting “In The Grass.” Three hund-, red pounds of a high ana lysis fertilizer per acre at planting quickly “kicks the crop to knee high” so that it can be worked out with out interfering with the cash crops, when they must be given first consideration Under average conditions, early planted corn has a better opportunity of mak ing a good crop than that, planted later. The farm management specialists also suggest slight shifts in crop acreag es, which will add to the labor requirements in the off months and lessen the needed labor at peak per iods. Sowing lespedeza in small grains now rather than a crop of cowpeas or soybeans this summer, may be a step in the right direc tion for some growers Another grower may de cide to put in a few acres of sweet potatoes for the, market and for hog feed, i “There are many oppor tunities for increasing pro-! duction through doing more farm jobs ‘On Time’ and changes can be madej ithat will result in the sav ing of considerable labor,”! the Extension specialists point out.
