The regular meeting of the Ro

The meeting was opened with the
song, “America,” followed by prayer
led by Professor Dorough. President

A report by the treasurer, Pat

George Stauffacher was elected to

Guy Hinson reported one of the

All office work on taking pay
ments for 1939 was tompleted and
we were ready to begin taking ap
plications til it developed that quite
a few farmers were going to be se
verely penalized due to the fact that
they had exceeded their General
Depleting Acreage- Base. So it was
necessary to contact all those farm
ers and determine the home re
or some or the penal,tea It would
look rather hard to penalize a farm
er for planting too much corn, wheat
and oats and especially after we had
enough feed even with the increased
acreage.
As soon as the ground drys out a
little is a good time to begin some
pasture work before work on crop
preparation comes On. We would
suggest plowing the old sod and ap
plying some fertilizer.

The Record Breaking Snow
JANUARY SNOW OF 1940
Mamie Ozburn Odum
The Eelf-God has come roughshod
With a twirl and whirl of snow,
The trees stand nude in solitude
And dream as the North-winds blow.
The stars hide cold in silver fold
Of cloud all bowed with snow.
The brave moon hides his easy strides
And dreams as the North-winds blow.
The new day breaks with snowy flakes,
And hills and rills overflow,
We of this world in comfort curl
And dream as the North-winds blow.

WINTER BEAUTY
Let the North wind blow, swift and
cold,
Only spare the bulbs with hearts of
gold.
The beauty of winter is its crystal
glow
Of frosty stars and lace-flakes of
snow.
—Odum.
FORCED BLOSSOMS
Now is the time for one of the
most interesting phases of indoor
gardening, that of forcing spring
blossoms. With a little care and pa
tience, you may soon have your
vases filled with spirea, magnolias,
yellow Forsythia or any flowering
tree or shrub you may desire, long
before it is time for it out of doors.
Branches cut from these to all ap
pearances lifeless twigs, will pro -
dure flowers that are a delight to
all who behold them By forcing
these branches indoors, blooms will
often obtain a high degree of per
fection.
Many trees and shrubs respond to
thp simple methods of forcing, but,
all branches so used must have com
pleted a period of dormancy, before
they will produce the best results
Hence a time of severe frost, which
causes rest must precede forcing.
Cutting should be done on a mild
day, as branches cut while frozen
are less apt to respond. Immediate
ly after a rain is a good timp as the
heavy wetting helps the sap to flow
more readily and causes the buds
to swell.
A sufficient amount of sap Is
quired to produce good blooms, so
the longer the spray ean be cut
the better will be the result.
Well shaped branches will natur
ally make more attractive arrange
ments as the artistic shape will add
a Kreat deal to the beauty of the
| forced spray. Bruising, hammering,
a,, b splitting the lower ends of the
branches and exposing a larger por
tion of the stem, or cutting thd bark
for some distance from the base are
beneficial in permitting the water
to be taken up more readily. These
branches may then be placed in a
deep vessel of tepid water. Charcoal
helps keep the water fresh, but if
necessary, change to prevent a stag
nant condition. Occasionally use a
fine spray of lukewarm water to
moisten, swell and help develop
ments, as this has the same effect
as rain.
Place the branches in a part of
f rom drafts and where the temper
ature will remain temperate. The
normal temperature at the time of
natural growth outside is best for
their development inside. Tempera
tures between 45 degrees and 65 de
g rees has proven the most satisfac
tnry. Direct sunlight i s not essential
but good light gives riches color to
the blossoms and foliage. Very hot
sun on the buds may cause them to
become too dry to force- A thin
screen, shade or newspaper will help
obscure the burning rays of the sun
and still admit good light.
In some cases, if leaf buds are
removed from the branch and the
entire vitality of the sap is given
the blossom buds these may be
greatly improved If removing the j
leaf buds causes bleeding, shellac
may be put on the wound, as loss of
sap lessens vitality. Foliage on sep
arate sprays may be forced for use
in arranging with blossoms. In most
cases shrubs and trees that produce
blossoms before leaves, as forsythia
and magnolia, force more readily |
than those whose leaves appear be
fore the blossoms, like weigelia and
deutzia. Those having hollow cr
pithy stems are not so satisfactory |
as those with solid woody stems.
You should not limit your efforts J
to only those varieties with flower
buds. Others that give a similar de
light with their tender new growth
of green, yellow and red foliage are
1 the horse chestnut, sycamore, larch
and a host of others bearing catkins,
such as hazelnut, balm of Gilead.
birch and alder. Horse chestnut, as
it opens, resembles tiny fingers on
a hand reaching out. The lone;
| s f’ rays of wisteria form beautiful
® lep n leaflets that are more appeal
in 8 than the blooms which do not
force well. Some materials that keep
thpir berrks trough the winter
season make attractive varieties.
Among these are barberry, bayber
ry, regal privet, sumac and coton
