GARDEN TIME fc M . E . Gardner State College “I have tomatoes growing on my potato vines. How come?” This is a perennial question and here is the perennial answer. Maybe •som e day the public will become well enough informed so that this question will not pop up every spring through the press. The seed balls -found on the po tato plant contain true seed of the potato. These true seed are used by the plant breeder to pro duce new varieties. ’ Parents are / a selected and crosses made on the flowers in the greenhouse. When the seed balls mature, the seed are removed and the cross classi fied. Then the seed of each cross are planted. When they come up, and while th e plants are very small, they are set in two-or three -inch pots and grown until tub ers form. Th e small tubers in each pot represent a potentially new variety. We grow thousands of them each year. It is an interest ing story. - It iS not uncommon to find seed balls on potato plants in the mountains where climatic eondi- 1 tlons favor the formation of seed. It is less common to find them in eastern Carolina; however, they do form under certain weather conditions, particularly if the tem 2nd Primary Election Will Be Held In All Voting Precincts In Yancey County June 28th For selection of candidates for Sheriff and one member Board of County Commis sioners. i Polls will be open at 6:30 A.

Hollywood Meets Challenge To Produce “Peyton Place” It i*» the duty of a picture mak er to offer to the public every type of entertainment.,.. “Peyton Place,” showing Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at th e Yancey Theatre, -presented a challenge to John Michael Hayes, who portrayed the screenplay, to the director, Mark Robson, and to Jerry Wiald, its producer, but all were sure from the beginning that the end result would be worthwhile. “Peyton Place” takes the lid off a small New England com munity. It is a highly sensational story but thoroughly capable of being translated to the screen as strong as any story before piade into a motion picture. Some years ago Mr. Wald was fortunate eno ugh to bring Joan Crawford to the public in the role of “Mildred Pierce.” In that picture Miss ford played her first screen moth- I er roit. Ann Blyth, then a com [ plete unknown, played her daugh ter. Th e role won an Oscar for Miss Crawford. The part was not a pleasant one, but the drama was great- ... Now, in_ "Peyton Place,” Mr. Wald was again lucky enough to NEGRO STATE CONFERENCE i OF FARMERS, HOMEMAKERS, MINISTERS, HELD LAST WEEK « 1 This year for the first time, the ; Negro State Conference for Far- ( mers and Homemakers, held each 1 year in Greensboro at A. & T. Col- ] lege, met jointly last week with the Town and Rural Ministers In- , stitute, according to R. E. Jones, ■ Negro state agent. The purpose of their meeting to gether last week; said Jones, was to combine their efforts toward working for the common good, since many 'of their programs and efforts overlap in scope. The Homemakers program held lectures and demonstrations on such projects as trends in the home nursingr-science in everyday family living, changes and adjust ments facing farmers, human re lations, making old picture fram es attractive, producing, conserving and buying food, and tricks with the sewing machine. Such out standing personalities as Honor able L. Y. Ballentine, commission er of agriculture; Dr. Irwin V. Speery, professor or Family De velopment, Woman's College; as well as various subject matter specialists o n tne Extension staff at A. & T„ and N. C. State Col lege, appeared on the program. Major problems facing North Carolina farmers, the changes and adjustments taking place- in all areas of farming were emphasiz ed by specialists and Ballentine in the Farmers program.— The Ministers program also in cluded an opportunity for Com missioner Ballentine to empphasize the changes taking place in agri culture that will affect all the people of the state and how these changes will present economic problems is rural and small town communities.

In th e part of her daughter Alli son, is an unknown player, TSiane Varsi. These two roles hold the key to the story as in the earlier production, and the history St “Mildred Pierce” might easily re- I peat itself. But this was not all. "Peyton Place” provided not only a start . ling and highly dramatic story and a vehicle for Miss Turner, f worthy of her talents; but offered 5 an opportunity to launch other > new talents besides Miss Varsi, 3 and to give some veterans of the screen opportunities to win new 5 laurels. 1 Every part no matter htfw small - has been cast with the utmost 1 ■ -care into what Twentieth Century • Fox, honestly believes will be one ■ of the finest, if not the finest dra ma of this ir any other year.

HORIZONTAL SILOS BECOME POPULAR Mention silo and most people automatically think of an upright cylinder. But. silos of the horizon tal type, such as trench and bun ker, have become more and more prominent. . . Lower initial cost and the possi bilities' if mechanized filling and feeding, or self-feeding of the sil age, have been attracting many Tar Heel farmers to the idea of bunker or trench silos. How good are trese newer type silos? Guy S. Parsons, dairy sper ialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service says that the effectiveness of the various struc tures in preserving dry matter of grass Silage depends to a consid erable extent upon the technique and management of the farmer at time of making silage. He needs to be more careful in making sil age in the horizontal type silo be cause of lack of weight from depth of silage as well as the greater surface area exposed. These two disadvantages can be partially overcome by packing the silage with a tractor during the filling process and by covering the surface of the silage with plas tic covers held in place with ma terial such as sawdust, Porsons} Attention Hemorrhoid “Pile” Sufferers A Wonderful New Discovery Just Put On The Market An ointment that has been used for the past two years by a prominent Mt.
