Here are suggestions for the busy
month of May from State uowege
specialists:
Enos Blair, Extension Service
agronomist, says corn should be
planted in the Piedmont and Moun
tain sections between May 1 and
May 15. Coastal Plain growers
should finish planting their corn by
May IS if possible.
fie also pointed out that May is
the best time .to plant soybeans, since
they will grow better end make larg
er yields than if the seeding is de
layed until June or July. The same
is true to some extent of cowpeas,
although these should not be planted
until the latter half of the month.
Velvet beans, on the other hand,
should be planted as early in the
month as possible. Crotalaria, too,
should be planted around the first of
the month.
Paul Kim, Experiment Station
agronomist, says a weeder and spike
tooth harrow are excellent imple-

The urgent need for low growing costs and the best of quality
calls for extra power . . . fertilizer that supplies rich nitrogen, phos
phorus and potash, plus the extra
and other elements!

iments for destroying young grass,
They also put the land in better
shape for the cultivators. If the
weeder is used one or more times
on cotton before it 1b chopped, the
cost of hoe labor will be reduced.
Cotton should be chopped as early
as is reasonably safe. If the plants
grow tall and slender before chop
ping, they will fall down badly and
will not grow off rapidly. On the
other hand, it is not advisable to
chop during cold, damp weather or
while the plants are dying- badly. '
Dr. Luther Shaw, extension plant
pathologist, warns against planting
watermelons, sweet potatoes, torn
toes, tobacco, cotton, and other crops
on tne same land, where wilt diseases
caused serious losses the year before.
The organisms causing wilt have
lived over in the soil and have mul
tiplied tremendously.
May is also a busy time for live
stock producers, since it is the time
of year when many changes in feed
and management are necessary, says
Professor Earl Hostetler. For ex
ample, permanent pastures are ready
to graze throughout the State. How
ever, although this means less labor
and no feed, except grass, regular
inspections and salting should not be
overlooked. Then, too, the bull should
be turned with the herd the first day
of May so that next year's calf crop
will be early and uniform.
C. L. Sams, extension apiarist, ad
vises beekeepers to examine their
colonies carefully during May. If it
is found that the food supply has
fallen below 15 pounds of honey, the
colony should be fed 15 to 20 pounds
of sugar syrup. Queenless colonies
should be united with those having
good queens.
FOOTBALL PLAiYER A HERO
Kirksville, Mo. As Carol Dean
Adams, football player, passed the
house of Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Still,
he heard Mrs. Still scream she had
found her 18-months-old baby son,
Leo, floating in the well. Adams
slid down a 12-foot pipe to the wa
ter's surface, held the child above
the water until they both could be
pulled from the well. Artificial res
piration revived the baby.

Did baak Walton Wear a Sweater?
Frankly we don't know it's
not in the record. However, fish
ermen of the 1939 variety are
sticklers for clothes. Whether
mid-stream or at the surf, the
wise ones insist on apparel that
is both comfortable and good
looking. Coat sweaters fit the. bill
nicely on that score. Excellent if
you want a practical body gar
ment on your fishing trips . . .
And don't forget a muffler for
chilly mornings!
For That September Swim One
news highlight in sportswear this
summer was the rage for bold
shades in swim thinks. Indeed,
gay colors and good tailoring com
bined to give new life to swim
ming togs. We saw some smart
lilies lately . . . swim trunks made
of Crown-Tested rayon satin and
elastic textile yarn. Good-looking
garments, all right. The new col
ors add zest, while the tailoring
gives an athletic prowness to
one's beach appearance.

Corduroy Sports Coats Corduroy,
is becoming popular, as fabric .
foremen's sports coats . . . and
signs are that this latest addition
to the sports coat family will be
actively sponsored at, autumn re
sorts. The corduroy fabric used
for these coats, is comparatively
lightweight but sturdy enough to
stand rough usage. It is worn
with matching or contrasting
slacks.
Knit Elastic Braces You just
can't stop that craving for elastic
apparel. Now we have a new one
men's suspenders, made of knit
ted elastic fabric This unit has
a double elasticity in the yarn,
and in the knitting. And they tell
us it does away with that tug at
the shoulder so characteristic of
the old-type suspenders.

Seven parts of ground corn, two
parts of wheat bran, and. one part of
either cottonseed meal or soybean
meal. In addition jto the grain, a
small rack full of choice hay should
be kept .where the lambs can nibble
it as they please."
Last year the StateCollege Ex
tension Service cooperated in conduct
ing lamb pools which netted farmers
$26,082.61 for-4,373 animate . .weigh
ing 173.960 pounds. Sase estimates
that these lambs brought . ' fully ' one
cent per pound more through grad
ing and cooperative, selling than they
would have brought under the usual
method of selling. ' v : '
"This 'means," the specialist d
clared, "a total of $3,179,50 increased
returns to the producers. Further, it
is logical that other lambs sold in the
territory where cooperative market
ing was done, brought a higher price
than; they would have otherwise,".
The lamb pools will be continued
this year. .

For the benefit of our readers who
have not gotten around to seeing the
motion picture "Gone With the
Wind", we present the following ex
cellent summary of the picture writ
ten by Jack Tarver and published in
the Toombs County Democrat of
Lyons, Georgia:
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Mr.
Tarver:

her Pa. By nature he was most
animal-like. Proud as a peacock, he
roared like a lion and rode like a dog
and pony show. After Sherman
came he was as crazy as a bedbug.
Anyhow Scarlett was in love with
Ashley, who was in love with his
Cousin Melanie, who was in love
with Ashley, and so they were mar
ried. Ashley-and Melanie, in case
you have become confused by this
time. This Irritated Scarlett no end;
and so in quick succession she was
married for spite and each, respec
tively, a couple of fellows, whose
names I didn't get; but then, neither
did Scarlett for long.
The other major characters were
Rhett Butler, Belle Watling and a
"colored lady" exactly like the one
on the flap-jack box. Rhett, who
was strangely reminiscent of Clark
Gable, was a cross between Jesse
James and Little Boy Blue. If Rhett
had joined the Lost Cause in the
second reel instead of after inter
mission, the Confederacy would have
Von the war and Belle. You'd have
loved Belle, everfiody did. During
the Beige of Atlanta only three
things were running: Belle's Place,
Prissey's nose and the laundry that
keeps Rhett's white shirts snow
white. Melanie's baby arrived about the
same time Sherman did; both were'
