DEER HUNTING STRATEGY
So you want to bag a deer?
Your chances will be improved
if you have some fundamental
knowledge of deer habits and do
a little scouting.
For instance, whitetail deer
eat leaves and ends of twigs,
but normally consume only small
amounts of grass. Since the
amount and quality of suitable
food is most plentiful In brushy
or open stands where the sun
light reaches the small trees
and shrubs, these are important
feeding areas. Large stretches of
grass with no shrubs are seldom
used.
During the hunting season,
thick stands of timber are used

for bedding down and hiding.
For this reason, it is often to
your advantage to wait on a
trail near heavy cover where
the deer may move or be driven
from their feeding places to more
dense protection cover.
Normally, deer rpove In the
early evening to the brushy
feeding areas from bedding
grounds in adjacent stands of up
land timber. However, the pre
sence of heavy crops of acorns
or other special foods often cause
them to shift their feeding
t activities.
Deer generally begin feeding
in the early morning and then
start again a short time before
dark. It is often good strategy
to do considerable trail sitting
during those hours, reserving
the midday hours for resting
or for tracking, stalking, or
driving. However, deer some
times feed during moonlight
nights, and when this occurs, the
morning and evening periods
when they normally move around
the feeding areas will be shorter.
Deer are also more active on
days that are rainy and over
cast. These days probably are
as miserable for the deer (for
bedding down) as they are for the
hunters. Cold, crisp mornings
following a few days of warm
weather also find the bucks more
active. Days such as these are
the ones preferred by many ex
perienced deer hunters. Un
fortunately, most of us have to
do our deer hunting in the few
days we can take off from work
and so we give little thought to
the “best” conditions for hunting.
This year, Instead of going
blindly to the same area In which
you have been hunting in pre
vious years, why not do a little
scouting in advance? Os course,
this may not be possible on
refuges or game management
areas. But by scouting the area
in advance of your hunt you
can locate the cover frequented
-by the deer and learn their
daily movements. Locating and
studying trails, feeding areas,
and places where tracks show Is
desirable. Thenumber of tracks,
their freshness, and the direction
of prevailing travel are all im
portant factors in determining
your best hunting strategy.
World cotton stocks have
t reached a record of more than
80 million bales. Consumption
from this supply during the cur
. rent 1965-66 season is expected
to total about 51 million bales.

Q. What are some recom
mended practices for sewing on
sheer fabrics such as voile, bat
iste and dotted swiss?
A. These fabrics may be in
terlined or used singly, according
to the desired effect. If inter
lining, the fabric for this pur
pose should be the same weight
or a weight lighter than the
outer fabric. This choice will
prevent excessive bulk when the
two layers are sewn as one. A
French seam or a double-stitch
ed seam (place a second row of
stitching one-fourth inch from
seam line and trim closely) are
ideal for use on items using a
single thickness. Facings should
be eliminated on sheer fabrics
and a binding of matching or
contrasting bias should be used.
Wide hems are effective in gat
hered skirts. Hems in bias skirts
should be narrow and done by
hand. Buttonholes should be
machine made. A very fine
needle (size 9) and fine silk
thread are most suitable. Pres
sure may need to be lightened and
the stitch gauge set for about
14 to 18 stitches per inch. Some
fabrics may require the use of
tissue paper placed next to the
feed dog when stitching.

Q. I would like some infor
mation concerning the new per
manent press fabrics. Can you
tell me what types of patterns
would be best and how to handle
them?
A. These fabrics require a
certain amount of special hand
ling while sewing. Because the
pre-curing treatment takes the
“give” out of the fabric, seams
can pucker. Therefore, choose
a simple pattern with few seams
and, preferably, sleeveless and
collarless. If sleeves are chosen
they will have to be eased in or
adjusted so that the sleeve seam
line exactly fits the armhole
seam line. Seams sewn on slight
bias tend to look better than those
sewn on the straight of the goods
since there is give in the bias.
All zippers, trims, seam bind
ings and interlinings should be
pre-shrunk (washed in very hot
water) before using to avoid puc
kering after the garment is
washed. Use Bto 10 stitches to
the inch and as little tension as
possible.

SANITATION AROUND APPLE
TREES
Sanitation is the most impor
tant factor influencing the ef
fectiveness of a spray program
for your apple trees.
Fungi and bacteria that cause
apple disease reproduce in the
bark of dead branches and in old
leaves that accumulate on the
ground.
Proper pruning is very impor
tant if you expect to rid your
trees of disease organisms.
Cut out and burn all dead
spurs, twigs, and limbs. Leaves
on the ground should be done
away with by plowing if neces
sary. All twigs killed by fire
blight during May and June should
be cut out.
Remember that sanitation is
Important if that spray program
is to work effectively.

INSULATION
The insulation value of one
inch of wood is equal to that of
12 inches of concrete, according
to a recent research bulletin
Issued by the Forest Service of
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture.
The Southern Pine Association
suggests that this insulation can
be put to good use in the follow
ing areas:
♦ Wood siding on western walls
or other parts of the exterior
having greatest exposure to
afternoon sun in summer.
* A lining of solid lumber
sheathing across rafters beneath
roofing materials.
♦ Wood decks adjacent to home
swimming pools for sunbathing
in comfort.
