WINTER GARDEN
WORK IMPORTANT
Vegetable Garden Should
Have Attention During
Cold Months of the Year.
Not many folks give much at-!
tention to their vegetable garden |
at this season of the year, but 1
that’s wrcng, says H. R. Niswon-1
ger, horticulturist of the State j
College Extension service. The
garden soil should be prepared
for spring planting in the fall
he says.
Give the garden a heavy coat
of stable manure or sweepings
from the poultry house, Niswon
ger advises. Fcr each one-horse'
load of manure, broadcast 25 lbs. j
of 16 percent superphosphate. If
the garden area is not subject to
soil erosion, plow the manure un
der. Leave the soil in the rough
and do not harrow or otherwise
prepare the soil for planting un
til about the time of preparations
are made for the spring garden.
The horticulturist also said that
winter onion sets and shallots
may be set out now far spring
onions. “The young growth may
be protected from severe weath
er by covering with leaves,” he
advised. “If you plan to grow ma- j
ture onions fcr market by plant-j
ing the seed next February or
March, begin preparing the soil
now. Select soil which will work
easly and which will not bake
after a rain.”
Niswinger also suggested that
the growth of spinach, kale and i
other greens can be increased if j
side-dressed with one pound of |
nitrate of soda per 100 feet of I
row. Cover the greens with straw
in order to prevent freezing, and
you will secure a longer cutting
period. Cold frames may be util
ized to grow lettuce and ether
greens at this season, he stated.

Vote On Cotton
Quota Next Month
For the last two seasons cotton
producers of the Nation have used
marketing quotas in conjunction
with the Agricultural Conserva
tion program. On Saturday, De
cember 9, they will vote on whe
ther they want marketing quotas
for the 1940 cotton crop.
E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive of
ficer of' State college, says that
quotas are designed to forestall
further increases in our already
large cotton supply and to protect
the markets of farmers who plant
within their acreage allotments to
earn soil building payments. Un
restricted marketings tend to de
feat the efforts of those who are
trying to adjust the demand to the
amount produced and sold, he de
clared.
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace has set the 1940 National
cctton acreage allotment at ap
proximately 27 to 28 million
acres, about the same as in 1938
and 1939. Floyd said that his of
fice is striving to work out the
individual allotment of every
cotton farmer in North Carolina
before the date of the referendum.

“Before a grower votes, he will
know exactly how much cotton
he can plant next year,” the AAA
officer said.
Quotas wil be on an acreage
basis, as is the case this year. A
farmer will be allotted a certain
amount of acreage for cotton and
he will be allowed to market all
of the cotton he produces on these
acres.
Floyd said that cotton loans
will be available only if market
ing quotas are in effect. Loans
can be made under the law if
the average price of cotton on
August 1, or any later date dur
ing the marketing year, is below
52 percent of parity, or if the
August 1 crop estimate for cotton
is greater than a normal year’s
domestic consumption and ex
ports.

South Boston Has
Good Sales During
First Few Weeks
South Boston, Va., i.ov. 7
The South Boston tobacco market
has sold for the first 21 selling
days, approximately 11,833,054 of
the leaf for an average of well
over sl6 per hundredweight. To
tal sales last week were 2,808,210
pounds, which averaged $17.01.
The previous week, 2,792,896
pounds, which averaged $17.10,
were sold.
Farmers have appeared com
pletely satisfied with prices re
ceived throughout this season,
with many driving here from dis
tances of over 160 miles to make
satisfactory sales. Elsewhere in
this issue of the “Times” appears
an advertisement from the South
Boston tobacco market, in which
an unusual sale is noted, probably
the best sale made this year on
any bright market.
There are eight hard surfaced
entrances to South Boston, with
ample parking space. Too, there
are no blocks in South Boston,
due to the sales system used, and
ample redrying facilities to take
care of any quantity of tobacco.
