POLITICAL PUN BY Fxd 6 r own Help Keep America Strong Save regularly with U.S. SAVINGS BONDS By Vernon R. Reddish County Agent Are you planning to grow cotton next year? If you are, your cotton insect control program begins the day you finish picking this year’s cotton crop. You should destroy those cot ton stalks as early as possible this fall. This will stop weevil reproduction andcause the wee vils to starve or start the winter in a weakened condition. These destroyed cotton stalks, if left in the fields, will aid in soil conservation and fu ture soil preparation provided the stalks are cut into small pieces. If this practice is really to be effective every cotton grower in this area must practice it. Just one field of stalks can carry enough weevils to create lots of trouble next year. by Elizabeth W. Cooper Home Demonstration Agent To prevent the stitches from popping while wearing knit fab rics use a stitch size of about 12 stitches to an inch. As the seam passes under the pres sure foot, exert a little pres sure by stretching so the there is some tension on the seam. Stitching the seam under tension allows it to relax after stit ching and helps prevent popping. Double stitch or reinforce all seams at points of stress. An example would be the under arm of a kimono sleeve. If you have that kind of machine, a zig zag stitch makes a strong seam. Seams are stitched with standard mer cerized thread about size 60. Although double knits are ad vertised not to need lining, I think you will find that it helps prevent them from becoming sprung and shapeless in the back. You will want to use a sep arate lining and it should be about 1/8” to 1/4” smaller than the outside garment. This re moves some of the strain from the garment. The lining should be joined to the waistline of the skirt only. When making a garment that requires interfacing be careful not to use one that is so firm the hand of the fabric is chang ed. You also want to be care ful that it is not too bulky. Waistbands should be re inforced with an interfacing or grosgrain belting which has been pre-shrunk. When hemming, use a tailor hem, that is, make it flat. You can overcast the edges, or double stitch them or use a zig zag stitch. Then finish it by using a catch stitch which is flat and holds well. Sometimes you have a knit that needs rehemming. To do this, remove the old row of stitching, run several rows of machine stitching around the edge of the new hem, and cut the excess off. If the garment is not hemmed you will have to take up the length at the waistline. Remove the waistband or sep arate skirt and bodice. Raise the skirt until the hemline is correct. Run several rows of machine stitching at the new waistline seam and cut off the excess. If there are darts you must then readjust them. What is the most profitable rate of fertilizer and lime to apply? More and more farmers are asking this question. The an swer is difficult because of the many factors involved. Ob viously, the most profitable rate of fertilization will vary from year to year. The season and price of farm products and fer tilizer vary. Also, the possi bility of insects and diseases must be considered. One factor is the expected crop increas from each amount of fertilizer added. This depends in large measure on the plant nutrients already in the soil. For example, cotton re sponds to potash to a greater extent on a low rather than a high potash soil. This points up the fact that the greatest re turn per dollar spent on fer tilizer will he obtained on soil already containing an adequate supply is not profitable. Use a soil test to determine the nu trient level of fields. The cost of the fertilizer and the expected price of the crop should be considered. If the price of the crop increases, more fertilizer can be used. But if the price decreases, less fer tilizer should be used. With optimun fertilization rates, a large percentage of the fertilizer may be carried over to the next year's crop. It is not always fair to charge the entire cost of fertilizer to the crop due to carry-over ferti lizer may be sufficient to pay for the fertilizer application on this year's crop. The carry over effect during a dry season is .reater than during a favor able season. It is not easy to perdict bow much fertilizer is necessary to produce a given amount of crop yield. Generally speaking, a farmer will gain over a long period by following soil test recommendations. No good businessman would think of investing money in a venture without obtaining esti mates of the outcome. Likewise, a doctor would not perform an appendix operation without a lab test to check blood count. Yet, that is exaxtly what a farmer does when fertilizer or lime is applied without a soil test. He is adding fertilizer in much the same manner as trying to hit a tar-et blindfolded. The value of compost or ani mal manures to increase the or ganic matter content of garden soils is unquestioned. Organic matter imporoves the water holding capacity of sandy soils and the drainage of heavy soils. It improves aeration and per meability allowing movement of air and water in the soil. It provides a quantity of primary and secondary nutrients needed for plant growth. Some will go further and claim that vegetables grown the “organic way” are not sub ject to attack by inssets and deseases and that these vege tables are somehow vastly su perior to those grown with com mercial fertilizer. Such claims of organic gardening "miracles” are not supported by research. Judicious use of organic matter in the garden won't produce any miracles, but it will help you grow some fine vegetables. Animal manure is an excellent source of organic matter, but it is becoming in creasingly scarce. Compost is good and every gardener has materials and space for acom- post pile. Building a compost pile is not an exacting process. It may be built in a bin formed with wire or board sides or it may be crowned up without the bene fit of a bin. Alternate six-inch deep layers of organic matter such as lawn clippings or leaves with one-inch layers of garden soil. Add a shovelful or two of animal manure to each layer of garden S °H- This insures that ample bacteria and fungi will be present to break down the organic matter. For a compost pile covering an area of five by five feet, sprinkle two cups of garden fertilizer on each lay er of organic matter. Moisten each layer. Treat each suc cessive layer in the same man ner. The completed compost heap can be covered with a plactic sheet to maintain moisture or it may be watered at intervals to prevent drying. Turning the pile two or three times during the winter will speed up bac terial and fungal activity and in sure that the organic mat er is reduced to compost in time to be used in the spring garden. -Hfcfsr / limit Fi>ntlock\ • »avt ... ■ I "If staying alive is your ® main ambition— W here' > Ge 0Y9H, 4 (ascs^^^ The next few weeks would be an ideal time to carry out "postponed” farm conservation work, according to H. A. Sealy, Chairman, Agricultural Stabili zation and Conservation County Committee. This applies parti cularly to practices under the Agricultural Conservation Program which call for the building of structures or for the major reshaping of land-use patterns, lie said. The Chairman pointed out that many acres at this time are not devoted to crops, as they are normally, because of di version under the 1962 feed grain and wheat stabilization programs, as well as the Con servation work done while the land is clear and before the winter weather sets in. Whether or not the acreage is to be used for crops during the coming year, the local ACP almost surely includes an ap propriate practice which could help conserve or umprove the land, Mr. Sealy said, for the program is designed spe cifically to meet local needs and conditions. If the land is to go back into production, now would be a good time to put in or plan such measure as terracing and waterways, to prevent or check erosion and control water. If the land now is in grass and will not be needed for crops next year, perhaps the farmer should begin to think about keeping it in permanent cover or devoting more acres to trees. Whatever the conservation needed on the individual farm the farmer who wishes ACP cost-sharing should first check with the ASCS county office, to see if assistance would be a- vailable to him in carrying out the practice.
