AND NOTES
By Lew Hanks, District Agent
Spring weather seems to, be
here to stay. Everyone is think
ing about crops and gardens.
The 1958 recommended vegetable
variety list is available at most
seed stores and at the Extension
office. This is a list of varieties
that have been grown locally and
found satisfactory. It is not all
inclusive. You may be growing
other varieties that you like fine.
If so, continue. If you are nol
satisfied, check the variety list
and buy the seeds. Your dealer
has most of them.
If you’re farming, better start
checking your weed spray situa
tion. Weeds can cut your yield
more than lack of fertilizer,
Check at the Extension office for
information on weed sprays.
To change the subject our 4-H
enrollment cards are really com
ing in. Marty Sherman Jr. was
first in with his again this year,
4-H enrollment cards have been
! distributed throughout the
schools. More are available at the
i Extension office. Incidentally,
