Small Grain for
Grain and Grazing
Although this may seem early
the time for seeding small grain
is almost here.
Under most conditions in our
area, small grains should be used
as a dual-purpose crop. When
carefully managed and fertilized
adequately they may be moder
ately grazed for 6 to 8 weeks with
little or no reduction in grain
yield. Grazing also reduces height
of straw which may prevent ex
cessive lodging. Here are a few
points about small grain produc
tion.
1. Land should be prepared
■early and well. It should be har
rowed lightly after each rain un
til planting time to control weeds'

AN OUTDOOR aboveground fallout shelter may
be built of concrete blocks. It is recommended
for houses without basements or for regions
where water or rock is close to the surface, mak
ing it impractical to build an underground shelter.
Two walls of concrete blocks are constructed at
least 20 inches apart. The space between is filled
with gravel or earth. The walls are held together
and conserve moisture.
2. Plant clean, high-germinating
seed of one or more of the follow
ing recommended verieties. If
possible, use certified seed. (The
order of listing does npt imply
the order of preference.
OATS—AB-100, Arlington, Flo
, riland, Moregrain, Radar 1, Radar
2, Red Rustproof 14, Suregrain,
. Victorgrain 48-93. Arlington and
। Victograin 48-93 are not resistant
to Victoria Blight and certain
। races of Crown Rust. AU of the
oat varieties listed are susceptible
to one virulent race of Corn Rust.
However, Suregrain and More
grain appear to be somewhat re
sistant to one race of Crown Rust.
Ab-110 is similar to Southland in
earliness and winter hardiness but
is more disease resistant.
RYE—Wrens Abruzzi and Ga

3. Seed should be treated with
1 Ceresan M or treated seed should
with metal ties placed In wet mortar as the walls
are built. The roof is a six-inch slab of reinforced
concrete, covered with at least 20 inches of gravel
or earth. Most people would have to hire a con
tractor to build this shelter. Plans appear in the

4. When small grain are seeded
’ for grazing and grain the plant
> ing date is early October. For
, grain alone the planting dates
are October and early November.
5. Seeding rates: Oats’—For
grazing and grain— 3to 4 bu.
per acre. For grain alone, 2 bu. per
acre.
Rye—% the above rates.
6. Fertilize and lime according
to soil test. A general recom
mendation for grain alone is 300
to 500 lbs. of a 4-12-12 or 5-10-15
per acre at planting and top dress
with 30 to 40 pounds of actual
nitrogen per acre during mid-
February. For grazing and grain
production, use 80 pounds of ad
ditional nitrogen (actual nitrogen)
|in split applications, applying at
! least half of this amount at plant
ing or soon thereafter. Early ni
!trogen applications are essential
for maximum early growth.
7. Allow small grains to obtain
6 to 8 inches of growth before
grazing.
Conservation

What's Behind the Soil
Conservation Stamp
The soil conservation postage
stamp, to be issued August 26,
commemorates more than a
quarter of a century of intensive
work to protect and improve our
most valuable natural resources—
the soil. Formally released at
Rapid City, South Dakota, at the
14th annual meeting of the Soil
Conservation Society of America,
it is the world’s first commemora
tive soil conservation stamp.
Issuance of the stamp is a trib
ute to the farmers and ranchers
who have put to use such soil
and water conservation measures
as those shown in the stamp de
sign — terracing, stripcropping,
pasture improvement, pond con
struction, tree planting.
It is a tribute to the Nation’s
soil conservation districts—locally
organized by landowners to mar
i shall all possible effort toward
1 stopping erosion and building up
; the productivity of the soil.
' It is a salute to ‘ State and
i Federal scientists and technicians
! who have carried on research,
found better ways of protecting
the land, and helped landowners
carry out conservation plans. It
is an expression of gratitude to
those carrying on other programs '
—such as education, credit, and
cost-sharing—that have helped
farmers and ranchers install con
servation improvements more
rapidly.
The silhouette of a city in the
background is a reminder of the
common concern of city people
and farmers for the care of the
land—our primary source of food,
shelter, clothing, and wildlife.
WINDROW PICKING
OF PEANUTS
Where windrow picking of pea
nuts is practiced, it is recommend
ed that they be picked in a semi
dry state as soon as peanuts will
rattle in the hull when handled.
Artificially dry at temperatures
not exceeding 100 degrees until
peanuts contain an average of
eight and one-half per cent mois

Grandmothers Day
To Be Observed
On October 11
All grandmothers will have
their day. That is, if a bill recently
introduced by Congressman Iris
Blitch is approved.
A joint resolution designating
the second Sunday in October of
each year as Grandmother’s Day
in honor of the grandmothers of
America was introduced by Mrs.
Blitch recently and has been re
ferred to the Committee on the
Judiciary. The Chairman of the
i Committee advised Representa
tive Blitch that the resolution,
known as H. J. Res. 447, would be
presented to the attention of the
full committee at the earliest con-
I venience.
I Mrs. Blitch was quick to ex
plain that her interest in this
special “Day” came long before
recent news of her being grand
mother herself, for the second
time. Her daughter, Mrs. Henry
Turberville, has another son, born
August 9th. A Grandmothers Club
of Patterson first requested that
Mrs. Blitch help with legislation
to make National Grandmothers
Day, and the idea has continued
to pick up support.
Governor Ernest Vandiver has
already proclaimed October 11 of
this year as Grandmothers Day in
Georgia. The resolution by Con
gresswoman Blitch would make it
a National event, coming each
year on the second Sunday of Oc
tober and would authorize the
President to issue annually a
proclamation inviting the people
of the United States to observe
such a day, in churches or other
suitable places, with appropriate
ceremonies.

Check . . . Mate,
if you are Buying Furniture
Os all the commodities on the
American Market, furniture is
one of the most difficult to buy
with any degree of certainty. We
look at a chair, we sit in it, we
decide that we like the fabric
with which it is upholstered, and
we buy it. But do we really
know what we are buying? What
is under the cover? We are at- (
traded to the basic styling of a (
wood cabinet. It is the right size i
and contains the required <
amount of storage space. But -
again, what do we know about t
the wood, the finish, or the con- <
struction? Buying a “Brand {
Name” can be a guide, but this (
method should not always be ,
used as a hard and fast rule. ]
The important factor in buy- ।
ing furniture is not always the
number of dollars spent, but ,
rather the value received for .
the dollars spent. A combina- ,
tion of three elements estab- .
fishes the quality of the piece of (
furniture — design, craftsman- ।
ship, and materials used. If any j
of these elements is missing, the ,
value of the piece is diminished. ।
Selection of design is a matter i
of personal preference, but ask :
yourself this question, “Do I ’
like to look at the piece of furni- 1
ture, and why? Does it fit into ;
the over-all decorative scheme i
which I have established?” If it ,
passes this test, then delve into
the construction of the piece.
Wood furniture (commonly
referred to in the trade as case
goods) should be constructed
in such a manner that over a
period of time the basic frame
does not warp, the drawers con
tinue to open and close, regard
less of temperature or humidity,
and any doors, whether hinged
or sliding, continue to function.
Check to see that drawer open
ings have center drawer guides
(a small rail extending from the
front to the back of the case
which keeps the drawers in perfect
line). Check the sides of the

FIGHTING TOOTH DECAY
After eating sweet, sticky foods
it is especially important to fol
low good dental hygiene, declares
Miss Lucile Higginbothan, health
education specialist, Agricultural
Extension Service. Decay may be
caused by acid substances formed
by bacteria on the food sticking
to the teeth.
One essential management prac
tice to successful hog production
is a clean farrow house, say
livestockmen. Agricultural Ex
tension Service. They suggest
using a steam cleaner or a high
pressure sprayer if possible.
Miss Doris Oglesby, housing
equipment specialist, Agricultural
Extension Service, points out that
light, even sprinkling is better
than heavy sprinkling. Sprinkling
correctly helps insure easier, bet
ter ironing.
W. H. Gurley, agronomist, Ag

corn should be cultivated early,
frequently, and shallow in ordej
to avoid root damage.
drawers to see that they are
dove-tailed together, and not
merely glued or nailed. The
sides of the case should be glued
and doweled. Scrutinize the in
terior of the case to see that all
supporting members are held in
place with screws. These man
ufacturing methods are used
in any wood furniture, regard
less of price, which has any de
gree of quality.
Make certain of the materials
used in the furniture which you
are selecting. There is no sub
stitute for the fine hardwoods
and fine hardwood veneers in
the furniture industry. Frames
for upholstered furniture should
be made of hard kiln-dried lum
ber, eliminating warpage and
pulling apart, which necessitates
expensive repair. Select uphol
stering fabrics for weave, not
weight—or a combination of
both. Finished wood pieces
should have solid wood struc
tural members, and either solid
or fine wood veneer surfaces.
Determine whether you are buy
ing a fine cabinet wood, or
whether you are buying another
material which is finished to re
semble what Is represented to
you. Remember that fine hard
woods have been designed by
Nature to withstand the test of
time. They give a natural beau
ty through the years, and can
always be refinished at nominal
cost, when necessary.
Buy the best quality that you
can afford, but learn to look for
the trademarks of quality. This
is where value received —and
not dollars spent—becomes im
portant.
BEFORE YOU CUT
Mrs. Avola W. Callaway, cloth
ing specialist, Agricultural Ex
tension Service, suggests spend
ing some time studying the pat
tern guide sheet before starting to
cut and sew. Check the general
procedure and markings, she adds.
In a survey recently made by
the College Experiment Station it
was determined that four minutes
of labor per cow per day may be
saved by use of a pipeline milk
ing system.
Dairymen, Agricultural Exten
sion Service, recommend having
all the necessary equipment as
sembled and ready before starting
to milk.

The organization’s water safety
service also offers these tips for
safe boating:
• Stay with your boat if it cap
sizes. Metal boats with good
air tanks and good wood
boats don’t sink.
• Provide each person with an
approved life jacket or cush
ion.
• Don’t overload your boat A
wise rule is one person to a
seat.
• Don't smoke when refueling
an outboard motor. Always
be careful with matches.
• Don’t stand up in a boat that
is in motion.
• Always have a pair of oars in
an outboard motor boat and
a bailing can in all boats.
• Head for shore if a storm
threatens. Keep weight cen
tered and low in rough
waves.
• Learn to swim to the beat of
your ability.
