If I Were A King
By: Timmy Hardison
If I were a king I would build a
great big church and have all my
people come to it. I would make
laws and if someone broke my
laws I would ask them why they
did it and if they had a good
reason I would let them go with a
warning. If they did not have a
good reason I would put them in
the dungeon for one month.
Lost In The City
By: Kenneth Mark Lupton
If I got lost in the city I would
find a cop and he would take me
to his station. They would ask
me what my number was and if I
didn't know I would tell them my
daddy’s name and they would
find my dad and tell him to come
and get me.

Kenny The King
By: Kenneth Mark Lnpton
If I were a king, I would run
my kingdom like this. I would
give food to all the poor, en
courage the people to keep the
kingdom clean and never allow
people to come in my kingdom
with knives, guns, or any other
dangerous weapons.
If I Were King
By: Dawn Watkins
If I were a king how would you
run your kingdom? I would be
real nice. I would let people
come to see my kingdom. I
would like the kingdom to be real
neat and clean. I would help the
people of the kingdom. If the
people of the kingdom needed
my help I would help them. If the
people needed money I would
give it to them.
‘Overfed’
Daffodils
Overfeeding: is a mistake
often made with daffodils.
If yours are looking a lit
tle puny this year, too
much fertilizer might be
the problem.
The problem may show
up in the form of a lot of
foliage and a few flowers,
according to Henry J.
Smith, extension land
scape horticulturist at
North Carolina State
University.
Giving the daffodils too
much fertilizer each
spring after they have
finished blooming can
lead to crowding. Digging
and dividing the bulbs
would be in order.
Smith suggests putting
the larger bulbs back into
the site and using the
smaller ones to start a
new bed of daffodils else
where.
Demo Chairman
Announces Downeaster
With the Presidential
Preference Primary decided foi
North Carolina, the Democratic
political spotlight now shifts tc
District Conventions scheduled
May 8, the Democratic State
Convention slated for June 12,
and the State Primary set for
August 17.
All of which means that in
terest is running high and record
attendance is anticipated at the
traditional Democratic
“Downeast’er” fundraising
banquet scheduled at the John
Yancey Motor Inn at Atlantic
Beach on April 9th and 10th.
“In addition to pre-Convention
manuevering by Carter and
Wallace forces, the Downeast’er
will draw heavy participation by
candidates for statewide office
as well,” says Democratic State
Chairman James R. Sugg. With
the commitment of North
Carolina’s delegation to the
Democratic National Con
vention already decided in the
March 23 election, and the field
seeking the Party’s nomination
for Governor narrowed by the
withdrawal of “Skipper”
Bowles, the Downeast’er is
drawing unusually strong at
tention!”
Sugg announced that Ken
tucky Senator Walter (Dee)
Huddleston will be keynote
speaker for the $50-per-plate
affair. North Carolina Attorney
General Rufus Edmisten will
preside as Master of
Ceremonies.
Huddleston became Ken
tucky’s first Democratic Senator

Start Summer Annuals
Early, Cut Color Void
The delay between
spring and summer flow
ers doesn't have to be so
long. You can shorten the
void by giving summer
flowering plants a jump
on the season by starting
them indoors.
The unusually early
warm weather has al
ready triggered the flow
ering of bulbs and other
early bloomers. Before
long, dogwoods, cherries,
crabapples and many
others will be in full
flower. They’re beautiful,
everyone agrees, but they
don’t last long enough.
This could be partic
ularly true this year since
the flowering has started
so early.
Getting the summer
color early will fill the
void, and this is where
the indoor-started sum
mer annuals come into the
picture.
"Two factors are im
portant in starting the
annuals indoors,” said
Henry J. Smith, extension
landscape horticulturist
at North Carolina State
University. ‘‘These are,
good seed and sterile
soil.”
Smith makes these sug
gestions: Use a small box
or seed flat with a few
small bits of gravel
placed in the bottom for
drainage. Fill to within
an inch of the top with a
mixture of good soil of
two parts garden soil, one
part leafmold or peat
moss and two parts sand.
Be certain that all ma
terials are sterile and
free of disease organisms.
This can be done with
small quantities of soil by
baking the soil in a flat
container in a 200-degree
oven for about 15 min
utes. When the soil is
coo], sift through a fine
screen wire and put it in
the seeding flat.
Mark off rows in the
flat with a straight edge,
such as a ruler, and sow
seeds in these narrow
slits. Cover lightly with
