Jonquils are blooming In Ral
eigh. This hardly seems possible
with the wet, cold weather we
have experienced ail winter. While
we haa-v had bad weather, we
have much to be thankful for
when we read about one crop dis
astre after another in Florida. If
we look around us we can always
find someone in. worse condition
than we are. I wonder why we
gripe so much.
The days are getting longer
which means that “Old Sol” is
climbing higher in the heavens
and asserting his authority, min
ute by minute, each day. Don’t
let him catch you napping. Tour
vegetable fruit and flower gard
ens will call for careful planning
and your lawn, trees and shrubs
will need attention.
I have already given some sug
gestions about pruning and "spray
ing apples, peaches, raspberries
and grapes, arid starting certain
early vegetables for transplant
ing. Hope these additional sug
gestions might help.
Prune your bush type roses just
before growth starts in the
spring. Animal manures, either
iresh or dehydrated, are excellent
for roses. A good mulch will con
serve moisture and help control
weeds. Prune your climbers, rath
er ‘heavily, after they have bloom
ed. Paul Scarlet is a good exam
ple. Varieties like Dr. Van Fleet
should have old wood removed
.. .nice or four years, or
v. uiey get too larg* for the
trellis.
It will soon be time to fertilize
your lawn. I usually apply a
complete fertilizer, in the early
prmg, and follow with frequent
y of nitrogen. About
v..u v -.,ve pounds of complete
fertilizer, such as an 8-8-8, should
be applied per 1,000 square feet

PLEASURE boating Is becoming
more and more the nation’s
top family sport This is well re
flected in a recent report which
Indicates that America’s boat-for
fun fleet has nearly tripled in tha
last 10 years and increased by
some 345,000 small craft during
1957.
Contrast this to the picture of
some fifty-odd years ago. In the
year 1904, for instance, there were
only. 15,000 recreational craft on
all American waterways. By 1930,
this total had grown to 1.5 million
arid by 1947 had reached 2.4 mil
lion. Between 1947 and 1957, the <
recreational fleet almost tripled, I
reaching the present level of 7,- J
071,000 pleasure craft.
The fact that boating is big busi
ness is reflected in the fact that
the dollar volume on purchases on
the retail level amounted to sl,-
912,000,000 last year, up 21 per
cent over 1956. " This includes ex
penditures for new and used boats,
engines, accessories, safety equip
ment, fuel, insurance, docking,
launching, storage and other mis
cellaneous expenses.
More than one-fifth of the 1957
total is accounted for by pur
chases of new outboard motors,
outboard boats and boat trailers.
The report also took note of the
fact that the bon ting-conscious
American public spread 9.8 million
gallons of marine paints and var
nishes during the past year.
American pleasure craft used up
some 397 million gallons of gaso
line and more than 19 million gal
lona of lubricating oil.
Looking over the figures, It ap
pears that there is now one pk-.--
ure boat in use for every 24
Americans. And all the boats are
not necessarily big cruisers or
power jobs. It is estimated that
there are some 2,375,000 row
boats, canoes, and similar type
craft in use.
