This is not a complete list, as
many of you will know, but it is
a rather good one from which Itc
choose.
This is noit a good time tc

From my vantage point I car
see three bad spots in the lawn
These must be given attention
this fall. The soil has been test
ed and needs added organic
matter, aeration and re-seeding,
Some of the shrubs, Burfordi
holly, flowering quince, ligus
strum and others, are outgrow
ing their locations and should
receive corrective pruning. Ma>
have to take some out and re
place with something better suit
ed for the location.
The flower border on the east
side of the house needs re-work,
mg. A planting is needed on the
west side of the house to .serve
as a screen, or windbreak and
snow barrier. Could use either
ligustrum, hemlock or white
pine.
Too many trees were saved
and now it is hard to cut ithetm
clown. Will have to think this
over. Will probably decide to re
move some because of excessive
shade and competition for mois
ture and nutrients.
Several terraces need .stabili
zing with a suitable ground cov
er — ivy, periwinkle ophiopogon,
pachysaridra, creeping juniper.
The perennials in the vegeta
ble garden need attention — as
paragus, strawberries, rhubarb,
black and red raspberries.
The list may-seem endless but
it is worthwhile if you plan your
work and work your plan.

ines, and refrigerators will be

mobiles, information will be ob
tained not only on ownership

QUESTION: My hens keep
scratching in the litter. Why?

Deparmeret of Agriculture for ith<
formal organization of rural you
th into clubs. This work got un
der way officially an July 1, 19.
09 with the hiring of I. O. Sch

4-H at that time, however. This
name came into being sometime
later.
QUESTION: What does th<
tree seedling supply for this fall
and winter look like?
ANSWER: The supply looks
good. YoYu should be able to go
exactly what you want, if yoi
order early. The North Caroline

accepting orders for delivery this
fall and winter. County agricul
tural agents have the necessary
order blanks.
