CORDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture Maintaining broadleafed plants .such as holly and laurel in a well watered condition in the fall is essential for. their health. Many holly plants have sparse foliage with some . discolored areas on the leaves. This condi tion results from hot weather and a short , moisture condition. Holly is naturally better adapted to areas of less temperature ex tremes and more humid condi tions. . - However, they can be grown well here if extra care is taken with watering and fertilizing. An application of ammonium sul phate using five pounds on a trees 8 to 10 feet tall and soak ing the soil to get the fertilizer down into the root zone would be desirable at this time. The light rain we have just had has wet only the surface soil and is not sufficient - to be counted as a good irrigation. Enough additional water should be applied now to soak the soil down about one foot. This would be sufficient water to supply the trees for the1 re mainder of this fall and it would also carry' the fertilizer into the root zone where some of k would be used this fall and the remainder would be available for use this spring. The results of a fall water shortage on English Laurel will show up with the first hot weath er next spring. At that time the leaves will be a yellowish bronze BIG PAL CLUB.

November Draft Calls to Jump Washington (U.R) Draft calls will jump to 20,000 in Novem ber, double the current rate, as a result of the hard-pressed Navy's decision to use Selective Service for' the first time since World War H. The Defense Department an nounced late Thursday that the Navy, unable to keep up its strength with volunteers alone, will draft 10,000 men in Novem ber and a total of 56,000 by next June. The Army will draft its usual 10,000. in November. Speculation immediately arose as to whether the Air Force, well below authorized manpow er, eventually will have to re sort to the draft too. A spokes man said, however, that the flying service "has , absolutely no plans" for drafting men. Starting in November, selec tees will not know whether they are headed for the sea or ground forces until they, are assigned by armed forces examining boards. The Navy said it would return to voluntary enlistments alone as soon as possible. But the pres ent outlook is for a levy of 10,- 000 men in November, Decern ber, February, March and April, and 6,000 in May.
