Sec.Treas. - The Herald $2.50 Per Year - . ?? v. V' ?* . "i . Now that we have had a killing frost, I am about to take up my dahlia roots and place them in storage. The procedure Is as fol lows: I cut off the stem of the plant at the ground, With a spa ding fork I loosen the clump on all four sides and then work the fork under the clump and lift it out. That's hard on the back but P" jst be done carefully because many yarieites have long slender roots which are easily broken at the neck making them worthless. Most of the soil may now be re moved from the cluihp. Since I have about 100 varie ties, I label each clump, attach ing a permanent type label to one of the roots. Wooden labels will rot and should not be used. Some growers write the name di rectly on the root with an indeli ble pencil. Good storage conditions are essential. The foots must not freeze nor must they dry out in high temperatures. Forty degrees F. is ideal. I am fortunate in having a good storage room whefe I have successfully stored the clumps each year. I place the clumps on the dirt floor and co ver them with granulated peat moss to a depth of about 4 inch es. Another layer of clumps may be arranged on top of the first layer and these in turn covered with peat. I have had no trouble keeping dahlia roots under these conditions. A cellar with a dirt floor or a root cellar could be used in a similar manner. ' A furnace heated basement, is not very suitable because it is too warm. Negro 4-H'er Makes Profit On Corn % I Corn has proved to be profit able project for Leon Matthews! Negro 4-H Club member of the! Ware community, Cumberland , County. According to H. A. Johnson, ?Cumberland Negro farm agent for the State College ' Extension Service, Leon grew one acre of N. C. 27 hybrid. He planted the crop March 20 in feur-foot rows 14 inches in the drill. The corn followed tobacco ro: tation. The 4-H member used 600 pounds of 410-6 fertilizer at planting and side-dressed with 200 pounds of nitrate of soda. The field was cultivated three times. Leon's yield was exactly 100 j bushels on the one acre. His cost j of production was 82 cents per bushel. With his corn valued at $2 per bushel, the youth's net profit on the project of $118, In eastern and central portions of the State dahlias may be left In the ground all winter. Th< stearos. should be cut off at the ground and the hills covered with several inches of pine straw or leaves. It is important that no water be allowed to stand near the hills. In the spring when growth starts, the clumps should be dug up and divided. Some growers are not using vermlculite to cover the foots in storage and have had good results with It. The main pur pose of any of these materials is to keep the roots from freezing and to keep them from drying out. STATE COLLEGE HINTS FARM HOMEMAKERS Stretch Clothing Dollars Bed Jacket from old blouse: Wo need for a pattern for this. I Just make sure it is a blouse | that fastens down the front. First rip off the collar and the cuffs, snip off bottons, and re move old color with, color remov er. Next, color the blouse a love ly linerie shade with Just a quick washbowl tinting. Bind neckline, both sides of | front opening, and sleeves with | braid, lace, etc. Make mittens from old sweat ers: Use a pattern slightly larg er than the hand of owner-to-be. Machine stitch around pattern to outline mitten pieces and pre vent raveling. Whipstitch or buttonhole stitch mittens togath* er in contrasting colored yarn. Make Jacket from blanket: A lightweight blanket that has be come "thin" in spots is sure to contain plenty of good material for a Jacket for the men in your family. Use a pattern for a man's house robe. Make it hip length Instead of full length. Dye the portion of the blanket you In tend to use before making up the Jacket. Follow Instructions for dyeing of wool since your blanket will probably be all wool or a wool and rayon mixture. ; City Lake Stocked With 500 Blue Gills Cleveland County Game and Fish Protector Price, of Shelby, supervised the stocking of the City Water lake Nov. 14th with 500 blue gill bream fish.

So Little in Cost "GOODNESS, how he's grown!" And you could say die same about telephone service during the short time since bis babyhood. ACTUALLY, in just five years the number of local telephones North Carolinians can call has more than dou bled. And this year's increase in North Carolina telephones is expected to reach about 23,000. BEST OF ALL, this bigger, better "package" of serv ice has gone up in price less than half as mucft as prices in general . . . and less than our cost of providing the service. ? ? ? * i .. .

G, Booth, North Carolina Manager SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY \ou're riding on big, soft coil springs that let every wheel dance beneath you, without passing on the jolts to you in the car. You're driving a car that's plenty inches broader than it is high? a sure* footed road-hugger if there ever was one. igfr And you're riding behind a Fireball Engine ? Buick's time- tested version of a high-compression valve-in-head? an engine that packs more power than most people ever need to use. With this power ? and Dynaflow Drive* ? you don't hnv~ fo "rush" a hill at the bottom Hi to soar serenely over the top. M K You just feed the power as^Fi you need it ? climb with a ^ sure, steady swoop without buck or bobble all the way up. There's a lot more that we could tell You about a Buick. But such things as room, and comfort, the confident way it steers, and the way it shortens the miles are things you can best discover from personal experience. So why not follow the routine already suggested? \bu supply the road-well supply the car ? and let it speak for ?j. ^ a# Pick a road that you know by heart. Not too good a road. One that has some bumps? some unbanked turns? a tough hill or two. Then get in touch with us, and let us put you behind the wheel of a Buick, with Dynaflow Drive.* Now you're all set for a new experi ence. Youll find out this: Those bumps seem to lose their bobble. You just take them with a smooth and level stride. Those unbanked turns don't seem 90 sharp, and those hills seem almost to flatten out. How come? Well, a lot of things are different when you travel in a Buick. iwktf tayio*
