GARDEN m • II Hi.s^rdssr '-■ n.cstate calif; \ Do yon *tIH burst your leaves In the fall? Why not use them to good advantage by making a com post pile. Such a pile, when pro perly made and thoroughly decom posed, will serve, you. In. many ways as an excellent source of organic material. It can be used as a top dressing for your lawn; for mulching borders, trees and shrubs; and in the vegetable gar den to improve the weak spots. Not much trouble either. Here’s how. You will need some suitable place to stack your leaves and other refuse. The corner of a wall will furnish two sides for your pit; you can board up the other two. Use an abandoned manure pit which “Old Dobbin” once filled but is of no use to a Farmall or a John Deere, or convert a hog pen which still has boards around it but may need a little 0 re-inforc ing. Do you get the idea? Now. Leaves, grain straw, mold ed hay, corn shucks and - many Other materials can be used. Do not add diseased plants or weeds on which seed have matured. Put down about 12 or 14 inehes of your dry material and then a lib eral layer of chicken or stable manure. Then alternate the lay-, ers until your pile is from four to six feet high. If jrou don’t have manure available you can use commrecial fertilizer, such as 8-8-6 or 8-8-8. A liberal si -inkling will do the trick. If you want a general guide, use-a pint cup of fertilizer to each 10 square feet of space. , At State College' we make all the soil that goes into our bench es artd beds in the greenhouse. The last time we prepared a com post pile, we used wheat straw, sawdust, chicken manure and soil in layers. After Six months, we cut, or turned the pile and left it for another six months before using. You too can use sawdust, the older the better. If you want to add a layer of this material, make it about six inches deep, and apply a little more commercial fertilizer to the sawdust layer. I believe it decomposes faster when manure is used. Keep tWe’ pile moist at all times. During the fall, winter and early spring the rainfall should be suf ficient, but watch out for pro longed dry periods in summer. Angkor In Cambodia, a cijy buried in the Jungle for nearly 800 years before French scholars uncovered It, held more than a million people. It was the resplend ent capital of the mighty Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 15th centuries Sacked by invading Siamese, it was then completely abandoned SEE ■ GENERAL ELECTRICS finish’ V* • UP-FRONT "PUSHBUTTON" POWER TUNING —The quickest, easiest way to select a 5 channel j • SET-ANO-FORGET VOLUME CONTROL x, 1 “ —No need to re-set sound j • SHARP AS A MOVIE SCREEN —No glare with G-E aluminized tube i and tinted safety window l*j,.'*■ ■ • NEW, REMOTE CONTROL * . —at slight extra cost » only $3.00 per week __ _ ,/ -nifr small Sawn payment ! • 810 TRADE-INS— Hus Week Only! • Banks-Young TV Service BURNSVILLE, n6RTH CAROLINA ECLIPSE OF THE MOON The eclipse of the moon, which will be seen in North Carolina on November 17th is thp subject of *. special program at the Morehead Planetarium. The program, “Mister Mooh” will e qntinue through November 10. An exciting climax to the show is a spectacular demonstration of the theory that millions of years from now, the moon may move within a elose distance of the earth and shatter into millions of tiny particles. This would, says A. F. Jenzano, 1 manager of the Planetarium, cause circles around the earth similar to the rings around Saturn. LARRY S. DAVIS COMPLETES TRAINING Airman Larry S. Davis, 18, son of Seigle Davis, Celo, N. C., has completed the first phase of mili tary training at -the “Gateway to the Air Force,” Lackland AFB, San Antonio, Tex. He has qualified for specialized technical training and will be as signed to 3750th Technical Train ing Wing, Sheppard A. F. 8., Tex While atN Lackland the new en listee undergoes the transition from civilian to airman through a program which includes pro cessing, aptitude testing, physical | conditioning, survival and wea pons training, and varied class room studies ranging from citizen ship to military customs and courtesies. Like the USAF Officer Candi date and Pre-Flight schools, also located at Lackland, basic mili tary training prepares graduates for specialized training and on the-job assiignment.

And with good cause for his team was sure to take fright and bolt, a contin gency the State of North Carolina recognizes to this very day. Even though Old Dobbin figuratively succumbed to the auto age years ago, he still can stop traffic dead. The law is heavily onesided in his favor as evidenced by an obscure passage in the Motor Vehicle Manual. Putting it roughly, the book says any person mounted or lead ing a horse has only to raise his hand and cars must stop, period. And if the animal is badly fright ened the motorist Is further ected to shut off the engine and If bidden to assist the horseman to quiet the animal. The law ori ginally was passed in 1917 to “In sure the safety of all persons con cerned and to prevent accidents.” Assemblymen through the years have never repealed the quaint law, possibly because the Tar Heel State boasts the nation’s greatest horse and mule population. SUCCOTASH An astonishing hodge-podge of raw material goes into the making of a new automo bile, even such unlikely stuff as sugarcane. To create a “dashing international figure” which Is what the Automobile Manufac turer’s Association calls the mod ern American automobile, builders use such products as cattle for glue, glycerin, hides and hair for air cleaners. Also coconut oil for paints and lacquers, cork for gas kets and insulation, diamonds for cutting and grinding. They throw in gold to plate ornaments and silver for electrical systems, plat ing and brazing. And sugarcane is COMMISSIONER’S SALE In The Superior Court STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF YANCEY THE COUNTY OF YANCEY, et al V*. FFANK BRYANT and wife, MBS.
