_ . . _ _. Moat garden soils in North} ‘ Carolina . require heavy. ~fertili-| zation in order to produce good yields of high quality vegetables and flowers. Also, the soils are generally deficient in organic matter. When good stable manure was plentiful it was not difficult to keep up both the fertility and the org anic content of the garden soils, ibut with the decline in -the horse population, the city gardens at least have lost their principal source of org anic materials. Plant food in the form of salts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash can be adequately supplied by mixed fertilizers r „common]y called “commercial fertilizers”. These are made up of various inorganic materials and sold according to specific forumlae such as 5-10-5, 6-8-6, 8-8-8, etc. These figures mean that in a '6-8-6 formula, for ex ample, the mixture contains 6 per cent available nitrogen, 8 per cent available phosphoric o acid and 6 per cent available potash. hundred pounds of such a mixture contains some what more available plant food than a ton of stable manure but furnishes none of the valuable 1.

BARNETT, Manager BURNSVILLE, N. C. jg (organic matter, beneficial bac teria and minor elements sup plied by manure. Commercial fertilizers are made up of concentrated salts and must be used carefully. If they are allowed to come into contact with germinating seeds, roots or leaves the may cause severe injury. Therefore, mixed should be thoroughly mixed with the soil in the garden or well watered in when applied on top as in lawn fertilization. Most fertilizer recommenda tions are given in pounds per acre which may be confusing to a gardner having a few 25 foot rows. He does not usually have a pair of fecales handy. But he can ..easily obtain a tin can holding one pint o ra measur ing cup holding one-half pint. A pint of commercial fertilizer weighs approximately one lb. So if the recommendation in the bulletin is 1,000 pounds of an 8-8-8 fertilizer per acre it would mean approximately 2% pounds per 100 spuare feet whch would be 2% pints by measure. For 25 foot rows spaced 2 feet apart that would figure 50 square feet of about 3 cups of fertilizer per row. An sacre contains 43,560 square ft. a. fe ilfC AS THE second session of the 84th Congress Queries, prob ably the pa. amount issue to ne solved is the "flight of the Amer ican farmer, which includes about 22 million people deriving their in? ’ come from agriculture. Tue income of these people fiasco, o;v i torn i about 8% to about 4'« oi t..e total national income. [ Often the aigut.-ier.t is used to day that this income drop is less dangerous to the nations while 1 .economy than it was, say in 1929, • because'the farm population has [ dropped from about one-fourth to about one-seventh of our total pop ' .ulation. The fact is however, that ‘ in 1954 farm spending for the bus iness of farming was 7.2% of otir > ‘total national spending, about the - same proportion as it was in 1929 ' despite the tremendous drop in farm population. And farm spend -1 ing for capital goods, that is for dwellings, farm buildings, cars, trucks, machinery and equipment was 8,1% of the national total spent for capital goods, as com pared to 6.6% of toe national total for such goods in 1929. Farmers buy a considerable por tion of their hard goods and most of their soft goods from small mer chants in their home communities. : How these small firms are hurt by the spread between low farm prices and high consumer retail prices is indicated by the statistics which show that corporations with of more than 100 million dollars showed increased net incomes aft er taxes from 6.1 billion dollars in 1952 to 7.4 billions in 1954. Dur ing the same period small firms with assets -between one-quarter million and a million dollars shove i a steady decline from 479 — _—: --- I rnovtM : * tsUt &M-/- r. i / * NO OTHER MEDIA CAN MATCH THE TIME-TESTED, ACTION-6ETTINO SERVICE OF NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.

' _ __ * .- 7- _ THE YANCEY RECORD million in 1952 to less than 400 mil lion dollars in 1954. Much of this debate over the steady decline in farm income will hinge over the question of sur pluses held by the Commodity Ctedit Corporation, These sur pluses today are valued at about $7 billions, according to the De partment of Agriculture, although this is not wholly correct, since about $2.1" billion represents loans to farmers, much of which may be repaid. “ The farm surplus is represented as farm outp it which exceeds de mand. Actually, the more correct representation would be output which exceeds ability to buy. So as a matter of fact farm surpluses reflect under-consumption and not over-production, for millions of people, not only in this country, but throughout the world, are hun gry and need this food. » Is this surplus dangerous to our economy and is it costing too much, will be one of the questions the Congress must answer. One means of measuring surplus is the extent by which annual farm pro duction in any given year exceeds domestic consumption, plus ex port consumption. For the eight years from 1947 thro*gh 1954 the average annual “surplus” of all farm products lumped together' has been about 1.6% of annual pro-' duction. In recent years, 1952' through this surplus has beep, about 3%, with a high of 4.2% in j 1953 "and a low of 2.1% in 1954.’ Major industries, even in times of high prosperity, regard as desir-i able a gap of 5 to 10% between their productive capacity and their actual - production. • i " • - ■* V • r~; _ NOTICE OF SALE NORTH CAROLINA YANCEY COUNTY The Board of Education of Yancey County, being of the opinion that the old Deyton Bend High School site in Brush Creek Township, Yancey Coun ty, North Carolina, has become unnecessary, for public school purposes, signed an order at a regular meeting of said board On January 9, 1956, directing the sale of said old school site and in said prdqr appointed Hubert D.
