ring the soil surface, however; and
even extremists concede that it
kills weeds. It also breaks the crust
surface and allows both air and
water to enter. But there is no
need to stir the soil deeper than an
inch for these purposes.
The muscular effort required to
cultivate to this depth is no great
er than sweeping the floor; and
even less if the hoe blade is kept
sharp and used as a cutting instru
ment to shave the soil surface.
Wood Advice
As soon as your seeds have
sprouted, so you know where they
are, begin regular shallow culti
vation, especially after every rain; (
and no weed will, grow in. |II _. I-1I ^
garden. Easy strokes of the hoe
wil turn up the white sprouts of
weed seed before they have reach
ed the surface. Only in the rows
between the seedlings will you
have to pull up weeds; and this is
usually done when the nrws are
thinned out.
As your plants grow, their roots s t ructions
will extend close to the surface
and care should be taken not to
allow the hoe to disturb them.
After plants have passed the
seeding stage, and thinning out
is completed, cultivation can be
avoided by covering the soil with
a mulch. Many materials have
been used for this cover, includ
ing boards, stones, asphalted pa-
i straw, leaves,
and sawdust.
One of the best of these mate
rials is lawn clippings, if they are
dried first in the sun. To pre
vent them heating, they should be
spread out thinly or tossed fre
quently with a pitch fork to air
and dry them. A thin layer of dry
clippings should be worked into the
soU, after it has been thoroughly
watered. Dry clippings can be
piled on this first layer to a depth
of several inches. Tomato plants
especially will benefit from a
mulch.
Grass keeps the surface of the
soil in excellent condition to ad
mit both water. and air, both of
which ar e necessary to plant roots.
A grass mulch, preferably of an an
nual grass which will die in the
winter and which does not spread
or seed objectionably can be used
to advantage in a rose garden, or
between tall growing vegetables.
Smith Explains Mix-up
In Judging Procedure
Charlotte, N. C.,
June 2, 1953
To the Citizens of Clinton:
I feel that an injustice has been _
done to one erf your most taletfteffT "
and lovely young ladies, little Dianne
Ledford, and sincerely hope that this
letter wlil in a small way make
amends.
Last Friday night we presented
our TV Talent Hunt Show at the
Clinton Mill Ball Park, under the
sponsorship of the Clinton Lions
Club. We were gratified with your
attendance and the way the program
was received. This made our number
of TV Talent Hunts in the two Caro-
linas go over the 100 mark. On each
of these shows we have two winners,
one a popularity winner, selected by
the applause of the crowd, and one
a grand winner, selected by a repre
sentative of the show. The popularity
winner receives a cash award, and
the grand winner is awarded a spot
on a TV show the following week.
Each local sponsor of the show
(the Lions Club of Clinton) is sup
posed to be sent a sheet of instruc
tions for securing, screening, and ac-
each contestant with the
operation of the fchGflv, method of
judging, etc.
In checking our correspondence
file, the Clinton Lions Club was NOT
sent the instruction sheet on how the
judging was to be handled. My sec
retary is distraught about this error.
Since this is the only failure on her
part to send put all the proper in-
in more than a hundred
instances, and knowing that “to err
is human,’ I hope that little Dianne,
and you good citizens, will forgive
this mistake.
Dianne and all the other contest
ants entered this program with the
thought in mind that there was only
one winner, and that winner was se
lected by the crowd’s applause. They
were right in thinking this since the
ground-up corncobs ( £j ons club nor the contestants were
notified otherwise. We, of course,
thought that full instructions had
gone out as usual.
We are extending^ little Dianne an
invitation to fill a special spot on our
TV show Tuesday night, June 9,
between 8:30 and 9:00 P. M. We
hope she will be with us, and that
you will be watching.
With every good wish, and thank
ing you for the splendid way you
have always received us in Clinton,
I am.
Sincerely yours,
ARTHUR SMITH.
