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.
Jim Crane of Walnut,
Madison county, says a new
variety of Burley tobacco,
Kentucky 41-A, developed
by the Kentucky Experi
ment Station prqduced
2,184 pounds of leaf on 1.2
acre this past season, and
sold for an average of ;>4
cents a pound.

EARLY PLANTING
SAVES ON LABOR
“Time” is one of the t
most important elements in v
the farm production sche- t!
dule and it doesn’t cost -
anything.
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.

ber, it’s only common sensei
to stick to the rule%. Con-!
suit your nearest fire ward-:
en before burning. Notify!
your neighbors, ask them
to help, choose a day when
the wind isn*t high, and
burn in the late afternoon,
plow around for safety, and
be sure the last spark is
out before you leave. Don’t
let your carelessness spread
fire into timber needed to
fight the war.
