Farmers Can Increase Cotton lint meld By Fertilising. Sidedressing Fertilizing and aide dressing cotton properly will help North CarolinA farmers increase their per-acre yieltfe of lint, says J. A. Shanklin. extension cotton speci alist at State College. Shanklin says the amount^and kind of fertilizer applied at plan ting should be determined by the. crop rotation and soil conditions. If a soil test has not been made, the following may be used as a guldet In rotation with non-legume crops, cotton should receive 500 700 pounds of 5-10-5 or 4-10-6 In the Coastal Plain and 600-800 pounds of 4-12-4 In the Piedmont In rotation with legumes for hay, peanuts, or on potash - deficient soils, the recommended rate is 500-700 pounds of 5-10-10 In the Coastal Plain and 600-800 pounds of 4-12-8 or 5-10-10 in the Pied mont In rotation with legumes Cor seed or turned, or on soils of high organic matter, 500-700 pounds of 3-9-9 will be needed in the Coastal Plain and 600-800 pounds of 3-12-6 in the Pied mont Fertilizer, should be"applied by the side -placement method. If equipment is not available, the fertilizer should be mixed with the soil abouf 10 days before planting. ; . - . The fertilizer at planting plus side dressing should wupply a bount ?0 pounds of actual nitro gen for average soils. The most economical combination of ma terials should be selected. For example, 600 pounds of 4-10-6 gives 24 pounds of nitrogen, leav ing a balance of 36 pounds of nitrogen to be supplied. This may be obtained from 85 pounds ura mon, U0 pounds ammonium ni trate, 180 pounds Cal-Nitro or AJNL, or 225 pounds nitrate of soda. ? Sidedressing should be Increas ed on very sandy soils and - re duced or omitted on dark soils or soils where the crop follows legumes. Where additional pot ash is needed, 50 to 100 pounds muriate of potash should toe mixed with the nitrogen side dressing.

OR 1 NT Hunting Season Hearings Set Clyde P. Patton, Executive Di rector of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission,' announced today a series of pub lic hearings to be held in each of the nine wild life districts to give sportsmen a chance to ex press their views on setting the 1951-52 hunting regulations. Gas is OK in Balloons, Baft Not in Your Stomach Some people feel like a swol len balloon after every meal. They bloat full of gas and rift up aclduous liquids lor hours after eating. CERTA-VIN is helping such gas "victims" all over Kings Moun tain. This new medicine helps you digest food faster and better. Taken before meals it works with your food. Gas pains go!

Get CER TA-VTN ? Kings Mountain Drag Company. "The Wildlife Commission has established a policy of giving sportsmen an opportunity to ex. press their views on the way da tes and bag limits should be set up for the hunting seasons," Pat ton said, ''and this policy has become popular with the people who hunt and fish. This Is the third year such hearings will have been conducted." Following are date and places of the hearings, to be held in the courthouses of the towns listed: District 9, May 29, Sylva; Dis trict 8, May 30, Hickory; District 7, May 31, Dobson; District 6, June 1, Albemarle; District 5, June 4, Graham; Districts, June 5, Elizabethtown ; District 3, June 6? Rocky Mount; District 2, June 7, New Bern; District 1. June 8, Eden ton. Prior to holding the public hearings, the Commission will call in key members of its field staff for consultations on setting tentative regulations, end on May 7 will tneet to establish ten tative regulations. These tenta tive rules will be presented at each of the nine hearings for discussion with sportsmen. Defoliating chemicals were ap plied last year to more than one and a half million acres of cot* ton ? about 8 percent of the crop. - ' ' I Garden Time J Robert Schmidt The crop that you produce will be no better than the seed that you plant. Use only the best you can get ' Failure of seed to germinate when planted Is not always due to low viability. Often when seeds ? especially beans and corn ? ? sure planted in wet and cold soil they will TOt In the ground even if they have passed a good ger mination test. Also, germinating seeds may be killed when' they come into direct contact with strong chemical fertilizers. Be very careful in applying concen trated fertilizer. Do not allow them to come Into contact with the seeds. . It is now safe to plant all warm season crops in eastern and central North Carolina ? such crops as beans, cucumbers, muskmelons, watermelons, okra, tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. Col lard seed my be sown for an early crop, but the best collards are produced when seed ^ are sown in July and AuguSt/Have you tried the "Hanover" collard? I'll be glad to send a few seed on request. Some gardeners believe that cucumbers and muskmelons will cross if planted near each other and that the melons will taste like cucumbers. This is a mista ken idea. Cucumbers and musk. 1 melons will not cross in the field and, if the melon is tasteless, it is due to too much rain at ripen ing time of to soil conditions. Different varieties of muskmel ons will cross with each other but will not affect this year's crop ? only next* year's crop if you save ypur.own seed. v I* you. plant yellow and white sweet corn varieties near each other the resulting cross will show up in the present season, and . you will have a mixture of white and yellow kernels on the same ear. CORN Plant corn when the dogwoods begin to bloom. This is an old saying. Anyway, corn - planting time la Just around the corner. Many of our gardeners are still planting Truckers Favorite or some other "roasting ear"' vari ety of field corn. Why not | try some real sweet corn this year? The ears are smaller, you say, and there are more worms in it Yes, that is true, but there Is no comparison in quality ? even the worifcf, recognize quality. There are a number of excellent varieties of meet oorn ? Golden Cross, Ioana, Aristogold Bantam, lochief, Seneca Chief, Carmel. cross, and many others. It is best to plant two or three rows ?t one time to insure good pollination. LIMA BEAM The large ? seeded lima bean is another crop that ti&sbeen neg lected except In' the mountain* where it sets good crops. In the Piedmont and Coastal Plain moat of the large -seeded limaa will not set a good crop due to climatic factors. Therefore, moat gardeners In th?ae areas plant tha small ? seeded types, such as Henderson Bush or Carolina Sieva Pole. These are commonly called buttprbeans and are of good quality. For those in the eastern part of the State who de: sire a large-seeded lima, the Peerless variety to recommended. It 4s a very nice bean. Do not plant lima beam until the soil has warmed tip. Also it is recom mended that you treat lima bean seed with Spergon dust before planting. A much better stand of beans will be obtained. Forestry specialists at State College report that large areas of pine forests In southeastern Nor th Carolina are being attacked by southern pine beetles. The attack has reached epidemic pro portions and the damage may become severe this summer. ^ Mt. Mitchell Camp Opening on May 15 RALEIGH, N. C., ? The 1951 camping season at Mt. Mitchell j | State Park near the Blue Ridge Parkway will open May 15, > The campground, which is( near the summitt of - 6.684-foot < Mitchell, highest?peak in Eastern j America, has individual camp. ' sites which' include table and i bench, outdoor fireplace, and I parking space A central building ' contains shower and toilet fa- i cilities and laundry room. The park is reached by N. C. Highway .128 leading off the; Parkway. It is about 33 miles north of Asheville and 30 miles west of Marion. Camp sites may be reserved through the Park Su perintendent, Hamrick, N. C. Opening of campgrounds at the two Other state parks which haVe such facilities will be delayed j until July 1 because of construc- j tion in progress. These are Mor- j row Mountain State Park, seven ? miles east of Albemarle off N. C. 740, and Cragtree State Park, on j U. S. 70 between Durham and j Raleigh. Repairs on the Blue Ridge; Parkway section between Ashe- ; ville and Mt. Mitchell, damaged by a Tockfall, are scheduled for completion April 16, and this newest and most spectacular sec tion of the Parkway will be open for the spring blooming season. The new section soars to an alti- i tude of 6,000 feet, and passes through Craggy Gardens near Asheville. The Parkway connects "with the State Highway ascending Mt. Mitchell, highest peak in East-: em America/and a new section' is being paved this summer to connect with U. S, 70 Just east ; i of Asheville. 1 ! Save Scrap Metal, Farmers Are Urged Scrap metal is needed once a gain to keep the nation's steel mills rolling at full capacity the Cleveland County farm agent for the State College Extension Ser vice reports. About 67. million tons of scrap from all sources will be required to keep steel furnaces going In 1951. The all-time high of 61 million tons was reached last year. Therefore, about 6 million more tons will be needed this year than was used in 1950. The county agent believes that spring clean-up offers farmers a good opportunity to salvage the scrap so urgently needed tor mil itary and civilian products. Re point* out that worn-out tractors, plows, rakes, and har rows ? even such small pieces as plow points, bolts, and wash ers ? are to be found on almost every farm. All of these are need ed to make the steel required for military equipment as well as new farm machinery. The termer should dispose of' his scrap toy selling it This means hauling it to salvage deal ers in town, or selling to trucker buyers who can call at the farm. National ceiling prices have been established on scrap metal, but these are prices to the dealer af ter he has sorted, processed, pre w MANGI MIDICINE For Dogs and Livestock SEVERE MANQE, ITCH, FUNGI, BARE SPOTS AND MOIST ECZE MA (puffed, moist ear* and feet).
