' ' ' Growers should keep in mind, that ' vegetables grown in the Carolinas meet with severe competition in the larger markets of the country; and that even though the produce is sold for cash by the grower on auction markets- at shipping points, or to lo cal assemblers, this does not relieve the grower of the burdens placed upon him by this competition. It Is eont4'fVl7lMl demand thaj, largely govern in fix ing UU:-ptlee;that'giwwi---iikiB ; therefore, it is up to the grower to do his Job to best advantage, in order that he may (be able to increase his profit ' (There are several ways in which profits on truck crops may be in creased. The soil must be warm, well "drained, and filled with organic matter humus. Poor soil will not produce heavy yields of good quali ; ty produce. 2. Use good seed of popular varie ties. Yi' . .. -i . Fertilise heavily, but not waste fully .and cultivate so as to produce both quantity and quality vegetables. - 4. Harvest at the proper time when the commodity is in prime -condition. ' S. Grade closely and size attrac tively. The local buyer, the merchant in the market, and the housewiie, au buy according to the reflex action of the eye. Field trading: may be au ngnt u skillfully done,-but; it is notjusually irell done. I is, therefore, In the " Interest of top prices that the grow- - r is after for most commodities to ' be graded at the packing shed and washed, if the commodity needs to - - he washed, and packed in standard containers in the best looking con r tainers that the grower can afford to use. Sloppy looking packages sharply - lessen the value of good produce, ' -While good looking containers often - enhance the price paid for inferior produce.' But do not count too heavi 1 Jy on this method to increase profits, for buyers do not have to be fooled " .many times before they fix the level of price paid for the produce where it will protect them in buying and selling. A renutation for quality produce, careful grading, and a good looking package is worth real money to the grower of truck crops. ' Do not ever fonret this and that your produce - must meet competition no matter -where or how sold. r Good Pasture Makes V Excellent Pig Feed A good, clean, pasture for spring farrowed pigs will pay big dividends at marketing time next fall. -.When on good pasture, the sow and pigs are protected from disease land parasite infection and provided with feed essential to health and de velopment. . . ; ; 'And pasturage is the cheapest form of feed that can be given the young porkers, said H. W. Taylor, extension 'swine specialist at State College, t 'Soybeans planted in rows and, cul tivated twice, he added, will furnish excellent grazing from the time the plants are about 16 inches high, until frost 5 ' -On good land, he said, an acre of soybeans will support 15 or 20 shotes, provided they also receive a full feed ' of corn and a good protein supplement- ' 1"! "'Such pastures 'should be, sown on land -where pigs haw not been allow- t ed to range during tne previous year or so, Taylor continued. Best results - will be obtained if the land has been '4 i cult'vated"with aomehip aince : the last time swine was on u. t- ; Land used for hog pasture or hog lots during the past; year is liable to be infested .with parasites, particular? ly worms, or other forms of disease producing organisers, Taylor pointed out. To get the pigs in top shape for f:i market, he continued, they should be kept on full feed - at all times, rians for building self-feeders maybe cl Uiined from county farm agents. ; r.rtcn 4-H Members Ciarre Radio Forum mbers of the recently organized iTVrvice Club of Johnston-County f -t before the microphones i X'TTF, Ealeigh, Saturday, ' ' a f pecial club broadcast - pre;?ntation on the s program, the -.st v . .

A safe rule to follow is to feed one pound of whole milk for each ten poundaJ of live weight of the calf, During the second week, the daily allowance can -be Increased from one., to two pounds if the calf's 'appetite is good and if the animal shows no signs of indigestion." After this, the whole milk should be gradually changed to skim milk at the rate of about one pound a day untO all whole milk has been substituted with skim milk. Question: Is it safe to put fertili zer in rows when planting garden crops? Answer: Recent experiments with fertilizer placement for row crops indicate that it is best to put the fertilizer in harrow bands on each side of the seed. This helps to avoid too great a concentration of fertili zer salts near the roots of the plants, especially during the seedling stage. The same results, however, may be obtained by placing the fertilizer in the rows, if the application is made a week or ten days before planting and the fertilizer iji mixed thoroughly with the soil'; ' Broadcast applications are desirable s when the . rows are spaced close enough to require hand cultivation. Question: Is there any sure way of preventing mite infestation of the hen house? Answer: There is no method of poultry management that will guar antee against the appearance of mites in the house. The best method is to observe strict sanitation and check at least once week for the mites. If they are"' found, remove litter and nesting material from the fcouse. Detach the' perch poles and scrape away all dried droppings. The interior of the house and the perch poles should then be sprayed with some exterminating remedy such as a combination of equal parts of spent motor oil and kerosene; commercial carbolineum, or coal tar dip. The spray should be driven into all cracks and crevices in the house. The treatment should be repeated if the mites reappear.

No, an example of what happens when you don't hold your camera level. ONT8 of the satisfactions of ama teur photography is that Lady Luck will so often play you the kindest of tricks. Much oftener than shooting an arrow aimlessly and hit ting the mark, you may shoot a pic ture without precaution or thinking of focus, exposure time or diaphragm opening, and, nevertheless, when the negative rl developed, find that you have obtained in all respects a good photograph. Dumb luck it Is, really, but a tribute also to the capability of modern photographic equipment Modern cameras and films allow so much latitude for careless and inex pert use that while they are not robots in their performance, they do cover up a lot of picture-taking sins. Fortunate as that may be, It is certain that the amateur who de pends on luck entirely will get many poor pictures and waste a lot of film. There are some sins which he can not commit with impunity. Here they are 1. Tapping the camera with the re sult that in the- picture" buildings appear to be toppling, and rivers run UDhlll or downhill. N 2. Allowing the camera to move as the shutter is snapped, or jerking the shutter release under the im pression that it can thus be made to move faster. Result: blurred picture. 3. Dirty or misty lens. Result: picture hazy, indistinct. ELMO Bob Twine and daughter, Miss Carrie, of Greenvihe, spent the week end here with his wife and children.

Letting the linger tip slip over the edge of the lens. Result: sllhov ette of finger tip. 6. Giving a time exposure with out resting the camera on som firm support. Result: blurred pi ture. (A shaky fence is not goo for a time exposure, neither is tb hood of an automobile when the er gine-is running.) t. Trying to take a snapshot after a Ume or bulb exposure without re adjusting the shutter. Result: a much jumbled up image or perhaps no picture at all. 7. Forgetting to turn key that moves the film. Result: Jumble of two pictures on one negative. 8. In focusing, wrongly estimat ing the distance between camera and subject Result: fuzziness. V. With fixed focus cameras, tak ing pictures of subjects nearer than t or 10 feet without a portrait at tachment Result: blurred, out-of-focus image. 10. TJ3lng a large stop for distant views. Result: loss of distant detail. 11. Attempting broadside shots ol movement too rapid for the shutter. Result: blur. (Moving objects can be "stopped" by an ordinary camera if the picture is taken from an angle and not too close.) Yes, even in rhotosraphy, brother your siis will flnil you out.
