Question: I. signed a lease for
3 years at $130 par month. After

found that >, it is a lots higher
than other similar accomoda
tions in tills neighborhood. Is
there anything I can do about It
now? This house has never been

Question: I brought a trailer
into Lenoir County and rented
a space to park it. Now I am
buying a House and would like
to rent the trailer. Since there
Would be two rents on it, one
paid to the owner of the space
and the other to me, who would
register the unit and be respon
sible to the rent office for the
maximum rert?
Answer: The owner of the
trailer space would have to reg
ister as landlord for it, and I
presume he Has already done so.
.You would also be a landlord,
for the trailer, and would have
to register it with the rent office.
.You ahouto register the trailer
within 30. days after you first
rent it and include in your reg
istration statement the rent for
the space.
Question: When I moved into
iiry apartment I agreed to pay
the landlord the rent asked
without checking with your of
fice to see if it was within the
legal maximum you allow. Does
that mean that I cannot now
recover any of the overcharge if
I am paying more than the max
imum rent?
Answer: No, it does not. You
GARDEN TIME
BY ROBERT SCHMIDT
It is now time to Aiake plans
for planting and to make selec
tions of spring flowering bulbs
They may be planted any time
in- September, October or Novem
ber. There are many kinds to
choose, from including tulips,
daffodils, crocus, hyacinths and
Dutch iris. Of these there are
many varieties and a wide range
of colors to suit the fancy of any
individual gardener. By selecting
your varieties you may extend
the blooming season over a pe
riod of several weeks. That is
especially*true of daffodils.
In sandy or loose soils bulbs
may be planted a little deeper
than in tight clay soils. Daffo
dils (narcissi) should be planted
6 to 7 inches deep in sandy loam,
tulip and Dutch iris about S
inches deep, hyacinths about 5
to 6 inches and crocus about 2
inches.
Any good garden fertilizer may
be used. It should be put into
the soil where the bulbs are to.
be planted but must not come
into contact with the bulbs.
There are many different
types of narcissicommonly
called daffodils of Jonquils. Some
have small flat flowers, others
have very large flowers with
large yellow or white trumpets.
Be sure .to .plant some of the
“Golden Harvest'^ariety. It is
on© >of the best. of the early
mamoth yellows. “Beersheba”
Mid “Roxanne” are popular large
whites and 'Twfaik” is a, good
double variety. < > .
The Dtufwin type of tulip Is
probably the Ibsst for the av
erage wardener because of its
long stmt and Wide range of
colors.: of the
other types’give excellent re
Pilts for the pemn who wants
something different. .v.,
Dutch iris' should be planted
in September or early October.
The leaves wiH come out before
winter sets in but that is nat
ural so do notHje alarmed. Thor
will withstand our winters with
__,__in Sep
yr October. The depth of
Ing is very important. Mi
allies should be planted
*"* * m
should check with the lent of
fice and determine if you .ere
paying more than the legal max
imum rent. If so, you (may sue
the landlord for up to, three
times the amount of th£ over
charge, plus reasonable attor
ney’s fees. If you do not bring
suit yodrself the rent office may,
after 30 days, bring similar act
ion in behalf of the Government.
If tbe rent office brings the-'
action you majN recover only the
actual amount of the overcharge
and the remainder Will be paid
to the U. S. Treasury.

in livestock, receipts, and 38th
in per capita cash farm income.
