Special rooms will be reserved for married couples who wish to attend the short course together. Although special features have been arranged for men and women, a large part of the program will be for both, she continued. nm covers Cultivate Cotton In Usual Way This Year The lotus garden in the rear of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde McCal lum, on JJront Street, is a thing of beauty just now. The huge pink flowers lifting their heads from their beds of broad green pads in the wa ter are at their best. While there do not appear to be as many of the flowers blooming as usually appear at this season, they are very beauti ful." Mr. and Mrs. McCallum have an nounced that they will be glad to have all those who will visit the lotus garden at any time. It is not even necessary, according to Mrs. McCallum, to stop at the house. . Those who wish may simply walk ' through the yard down to the river 'ii . e i t - shore wnere tne nowers may oe seen. For several years these rare flow ers, cultivated in a shallow spot on the water's edge, have blossomed in lovely profusion and any one who has ever seen them will not willingly miss the opportunity to visit the gar den when the flowers are in bloom. The water lilies, which also bloom in this water garden, , are not yet blooming. Usually,) however, before the lotus flliwers have entirely gone, some of these beautiful lilies, of which ,tte McCalluin have a variety, jwgin to open.

To get the greatest yield, said E C Blair, extension agronomist at State College, top dress the cotton early with MO to 150 pounds of nit rate of soda to the acre. If the weather is favorable during the rest of the growing season, he added, growers still have a 50-50 chance to make a good crop in the Piedmont area, and an even better chance in the coastal plain counties. A nuihber of farmers,' he continued- planted corn on their cotton land after deciding that dry weather had damaged the cotton seed too much for it to germinate and produce good stand. In many fields both corn and cotton are now coming up. In this event, Blair advises growers to re duce their cotton' acreage as much as they can under the new farm pro gram, so as to be in a position to get the full amount of the payments offered. . ':"( - . Corn will probabfy make a good yield this year, he continued. If a farmer feels that he needs more com to insure, an adequate supply of feed next winter and spring, it may pay him to reduce his cotton even fur ther. Where lespedeza failed to produce a stand, as a result of the drouth, growers are advised to seed soybeans and cowpeas. Lespedeza seed is scarce this year, and most of that which was planted has failed to come up. as it should - under favorable weather conditions. , - - i lioss Alexander and Patricia Ellis show what love can do for a cabaret singer and a fugitive from justice in "lioulder Dam," at the Tavlor ineaire, fcdenton, on Friday.

One plat will be used for checkine and the others will have 100 pounds of nitrate of soda, 100 pounds of mu riate of potash, and 100 pounds each of the soda and potash. Careful re cords on rust control, yields, and maturity will be kept on each plat, Want says. Lower Egg Production Expected This Summer Egg production in North Carolina will be below normal this summer, and unless good care is given the flocks, the eggs will be of inferior quality. To make the most of high summer prices, said Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department at State College, poultrymen will need to take special pains with their flocks and eggs. The first step, he said, is to pro duce infertile eggs, as they are bet ter ior immediate consumption and they also will keep in good condition for a longer period than fertile eggs. Keep the nests clean, he added, so the eggs will not have to be cleaned before marketing. Eggs not to be consumed immediately should not be washed, as washing removes from the shells a protective substance that is needed to prevent rapid deteriora tion. In hot weather, eggs should be collected several times a day and stored immediately in a cool, moist place where there is plenty of venti lation. A spring house or cellar is an ideal place. Air in the Storace mom- ahniiM ho free from strong odors, as eggs read fly absorb such odors from the atmosphere. isanaie eetcs. esnecmiiv in num. mer, to keep inferior ones off the '. market. Good prices can he mm- manded only by poultrymen who maintain a reputation for selling gooa eggs. Deliveries should be made more frequently in summer than in win ter, as this is necessary to supply the trade with strksly fresh eggs. To bring high prices, eggs must look good. Customers demanding high quality eggs will not pay top prices for small, dirty, or cracked eggs, Dearstyne warned. Boll Weevils Expected To Damage Cotton Crop The 1936 cotton crm. nlmnHv cur tailed by drv weather, mnv he dam aged still further this summer by neavy miestations of boll weevils. ii tne remainder of the growing season is warm and damn, said r H. Brannon, extension entomologist at State Colleee. boll wppvils will attack the cotton in great numbers. In view of the losses already caus ed by dry weather, he continued, North Carolina farmers can ill afford to lose any more of their crop. The best time to get ready for fightinsr weevils is hpforp thev attack the cotton plants, Brannon stated. Get the dustinir marhi tips ready, or buy new ones if necessary. Lay in a supply of calcium arsenate. Weevils can be controlled, hp ed out, if dusting is started in time, and kept up regularly throughout the growing season. He suggested that farmers should start examining the nlants as as the souares begin to form. Even if no weevils are found, repeat the examination at least once a week as a measure of precaution. Don't bother with souares that have fallen on the ground, he added, as they will not indicate the decree of infestation, if any, on the plants at the time the examination is made- As soon as ten per cent of the squares are found to be infested. start dusting with calcium arsenate ana repeat as olten as necessry.
