v; > THE YANCEY RECORD THURSDAY, JUNE 11. 1964 Garden! Time BY M. E. GARDNER J. N. C. State j This Is a “re-run” of a column I wrote in 1962. The response was rood. It concerns some of the .ruit and nut crops not commonly grown in North Carolina. If inter ested, you might give the sug gestions some thought and order plants for setting this fall. First the Filbert (hazelnut). All, 'arteries of filberts are self-unfruit hl so ample provision must be made for cross pollination by planting two or more varieties to jether. At least one of the varie ties should have hardy catkins. Cosfori has hardy catkins and 's commonly shelled of all varie ties. The plant is vigorous, hardy and productive. Du Chilly is anoth er favorite. Other varieties are Barcelona, Medium Long and Ital ian Red. The pecan is adapted to what is commonly referred to as the Cot ton Belt, and the Stuart is per haps more widely planted than any other variety. However, there - are hardy sorts which may be grown in the upper Piedmont and mountains. Some of the hai-dy varieties, are; Busseron, Major, Gates and Colby. Colby is the newest introduction ( and is reported to be of good fla vor, large for hardy types and very productive. Hicans may be of some interest to western Carolina readers. The Hican is a cross between the pe i can and shellbark hickory hybrids. Clarksville and Gerardi are hican Square Dancing Every Saturday Night At Cattail Recreation Hall BOONE BROS.

These trees may be used as dual-purpose plants, where space is available, as they have ornamental appeal as well as nut production. One need only drive through what once was chesnut country ' and see the skeletons left due to the ravages of the chesnut blight. This has brought the Chinese chest nut into the picture because of the resistance of this type to blight. Nurseries are offering selected seedling strains from Nanking, Neiling, Ruling and other seed lings. These seem to be more satis factory than grafted trees. The Chinese chestnut is a rather ver satile plant because it also has ornamental appeal and is not too choosy about sooil types. Os the fruits not commonly cul tivated we might consider the elderberry. Elderberries make fine pies, igllies and juices. The plant also has ornamental value. If you would like to try this fruit, the following varieties are available: Adams No. 1, Johns, and New York No. 12. In order to insure pollination and fruit set, plant at least ‘two different varie -1 ties together. This is important. THIS IS THE LAW BY: ROBERT E. LEE (For tho N. C. Bar Association) PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION T | If President Johnson is elected I in November, 1964, may he be elected again for a second full term in November, 1968? Yes. The Constitution merely precludes him from being elected more than twice to the office of president. He was never elected to the of fice of president in which he is now serving. He succeeded to the office, upon the death of President Kennedy, as a consequence of his election as Vice President in 1960. •* • * Suppose President Kennedy had been assassinated on November 22, 1962, rather than November 22, (1963, could President Johnson be elected president In both 1964 and 1968? He could be elected In 1964, but not in 1968. Amendment 22 of the United States Constitution, which became effective March 1, 1951, says “no person who has held the office of J president, or acted as president, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president shall be elected to the office of the presi dent more than once.’* If, President Johnson is not elected in November, 1964, when will his present term of office expire? 1 ~'sV -'3'vfx <’ ' ./v ?v' xxv -xa? \;-s~ . r* A ■ 7^31 > V‘- & - BHgg||yqfi3sS& '¥«s•;'; - : y&-;&< yjf' C< ?/ . .£.;- 4 Sun glistens off a 10-ton se lion of steel being lifted 200 feet fnvo air to form part of nation’s newest monument.

The national committee of his party has authority to name a replacement for him. •• • * What happens if the nominated candidate of a political party should die or resign between the November election and the date fixed for the convening of the Electoral College (December 19 this year)? The responsibility falls upon the I presidential electors, who were I elected in November. This happened in 1872 when Horace Greeley, the Democratic nominated candidate, died in the period between the November election day and the meeting of the Electoral College. •• • • May pessons having their legal residence in the District of Columbia vote for the president of the United States? Yes. For the first time in history they may in 1964 vote for the election, of president and vice president of the United States.
