2.—Growing tire plants for an
early crop sow the seeds 6 to 8
weeks before it is safe to set the
plants in the garden. Enough early
plants for the Average family can
be started in a small ijox set in a
sunny window. A I mix 15x10x2 1-2
inches will take care of at«teast 200
seedling plants. Sow the seeds m
.rows .1 inches apart, dropping 5 or
6 seed* to the inch. When the
seedlings are 2 1-2 to 3 inches ti ll,
or they begin to crowd, tran*f>iar*i
them to a protected outdobr plant
bed, Stronger stockier plants will
be produced if the seedlings are set
4x4 inches apart lit a mixture of

Tomatoes growing In hotbeds atm
cokiiranies must be carefully Wat
*>rt d and ventilated. Too much
water will produce leggy, succulent
plants One goal soaking is bette:
than several light sprinklings. Ven
tilate often enough to keep the
temperature from going too high
and to prevent moisture lrom or(
lecilng on the under aide of tt e
plant bed covering. Tomatoes grow
best with the day temperature It)
to 25 degrees Fahrenheit and the
night temperature not lower than
55 to 60 degrees. The plants should
be gradually exposed to outooor
condition* before setting in t'.e
ncia, ,
3.--Outdoor Culture: For Uu.
earliest planting set the plants- 2
feet apart in rows 3 1-2 or 4 fee
wide. Each plant should be prniu.il
to 2 stems and trained to a stoke
about 4 or 5 feet high. Tips will
give an earlier crop than if the
plants are not pruned and sup
ported.
Plants for the main summer and
fall crops are usually sft 3 or 4 leet
apart in rows 4 fet wide and the
plants are allowecK to sprawl Over
the ground.
In transplanting from the plant
bed to the field or garden U\ >
plants should be lifted with as
much soil adhering to the roots «,s
possible.
Hoey Still Draws
Crowds To Speeches
Charlotte, March 7. - about 1.500
persons crowded into the Carolina
, tfttater yesterday afternoon to hear
an eloquent lecture op “The Domin
ion of Man” by Clyde R Hoey of
Shelby, fornwr representative in
congress, widely known as a lawyer,
celebrated over the country as an
orator and teacher ot one of North!
Carolina'* largest Sunday school
classes.
The audience listened in a silence
significant of the feeling of the peo
ple concerning the kidnaping of the
Lindbergh baby, as Mr Hoey called
attention to the fact that the whole
nSnon stands-still with "its heart in
its mouth" because ona child is lost.
Mr. Hoey recalled that the safety
of the 99 did not lessen the anxiety
of Jesus for the one that was lost.
“God's heart is hurt when a soul
turns from His, as are the hearts Of
the parents of this lost child,” as
, -erted the e-peaker.

committee worked on the office. A
long window feat was made for ex
tra seating room during meetings,
curtains put up for the shelves and
a general fixing up of the old ar
ticles in use. On account of numer

to have regular office hours, but she
is usually in her office from eight

be found in our own N. C. mills.
Miss Hunter had accumulated these
samples as she visited the different

of the difficulties we meet in mak
ing our own clothes, there were
three present who had to use the 36
bust measure size pattern, one was
$ ft. 1 in., one 5 ft. 6 in, and the
other 5 ft, 11 in. Miss Hunter clev

as she suggested the changes. The
leaders will help Mrs. Wallace in
getting these seme demonstrations
to the clubs of the county this

After the meeting, Mrs. Waliace
took Miss Hunter to visit some oi
our local mills. Miss Hunter was
enthusiastic over our products, and I
said, “No wander that you told me I
there was no use to show that ma-!

gave Miss Hunter and Mrs. Wallace
material, grown and- manufactured
in Cleveland county, for two dress

Cleveland Man Has
Road Sentence Cut
Gcvernor Makes Change Because
Coart Record Had An
Error
The road sentence of Ezra Hen
son, convicted in the Cleveland
county recorder's court, has been
reduced from 90 days to 60 days dv
Governor Gardner. The change is
explained as follows by the gover
nor:
‘‘Ezra Henson, was convicted in
the recorder’s court of Shelby, on
16th day of January, 1932, of pub
lic drunkenness and sentenced to
serve three months on the county
roads.
“I now have before me a recom
mendation that this man’s sentence
be commuted from ninety days on
the roads to sixty days on the
roads, signed by the trial recorder
and the trial solicitor, Mr. M. R
Weathers and Mr. W. S. Beam, re
spectively. These gentlemen state
as follows: ‘The sentence of the r*
corder for this offense was origin
ally ninety days on the state roads;
but before this session of court ad
journed. the recorder changed the
sentence to sixty days on the state
roads. The deputy clerk of the re
corder’s court for Cleveland county
failed to get the changed sen
tence on the records—making
thereon the original sentence of
ninety days; and Inadvertently is
sued the comnlitment in this case
for the defendant to serve a sen
tence of ninety days.’
“Acting upon the foregoing rec
ommendatipns, I am ^his day com
muting this prisoner's sentence from
ninety days on the county roads to
sixty days on the county roads."
