Household Hints

tell us how to raise our baby. Be-
cause they each have q differens

The only thing we're sure about
is that the baby Is entitled to room
Of his own. Not for style or luxury,
but just for everyday convenience
and comfort. Where baby can rest
in quiet away from the confusion
and noise of the family. Where he
can learn the first principles about
order and privacy. Where mother
can keep all his things together and
handy. Where she can care for him
without interruptions or diversions
Now with SO many excellent rev

ture, it behooves a conscientious

There's a table and chair that
are built to develop proper posture

chests and chifferobes are designed

Then they are so planned that vart-

Efectual Fences.

America is about the only country
I've been in that leaves her yards
open to public view. And there's q
lot to be said for that idea. For.
one thing. it doubtless reflects the,
fact that we haven't needed high
walls to protect our homes, as have
the peoples of most other parts Of
the world. And then, too, open
yards with nice lawns and gardens
make a town look so much more at
tractive than when you can only
see blank walls the better SEQ

But there's a lot to be said for the
old-world custom of enclosing a

This means an addition to the soil
of the equivalent of $50 pounds Of
nitrate of soda, or about 700 pounds
of cottonseed meal, for each ion of
dry material. A good growth of le-
gumes turned under should supply
at least two or three tons of dry
organic matter.
When legume crops are removed
from the soil for hay or otherwise,
the best that can be done would be
to about maintain the original nit
rogen reserves of the soil, and sus-
tain loss of the phosphoric acid and
potash that would require, in the case
of soybeans, applications of so
pounds of l per cent superphOSphate

Hay ShrOuld Be Cut At "Just
Right Time"

No phase Oh farming requires DeL-
ter timing than the cutting of hay.
Much of the hay being fed in North
Carolina is of low quality, and has a
correspondingly low nutritive value,
often due to being cut in the wrong
stage of growth.
The proper time to cut hay crops
is when the greatest quantity of
digestible nutrients can be obtained.
With most crops, the percentage of
leafiness and protein content are
highest soon after the plant begins
to bloom A little later the protein
moves toward the seed, the stems be-
come woody, and the leaves next to
the ground begin to fall.
The best time to cut lespedeza is
when the crop is about one-half in
bloom; soybeans, when the pods are
Well-inforfned and the seed are about
one-half developed; cowpeas, when
the first pods begin to yellow; and
small grain crops such as wheat,
barley, and oats, when in late bloom
or the early milk stage.
The grasses, such as sudan and
millet should be cut in the early
bloom stage. The blooming period OF
i these grasses Is S1lOIC dflu d lew Udyo
| delay in cutting may result in a
coarse, stemmy, unpalatable hay.
Weeds and other foreign materials
is usually the result of poor stand
of hay crops Heavy seeding, there
fore, is one of the first essentials in
producing good hay. Thin stands pro
mote a growth of a coarse stemmec
hay in which there is a high per
centage of waste when it is fed.
Value of Turning Under LegumeS.
An average growth of legume'
turned under will add to the soil thu
equivalent of 500 to $50 pounds O
nitrate of soda per acre, or 400 t.
. 400 pounds of cottonseed meal. Thi
is substantially true whether tn
seed are harvested or the entire plan

Land-scaping and yard beautifica-
ton have been the theme Of the
weeks work Mr.. John Harris, Ex-
tension Landscape Specialist from
State College, was in the county for
three days drawing up yard plans
and advising men and women about
planting. This was furthering our
major project for the year, which will
fourteen yards were made during the
three days.
On Thursday afternoon Mr.. Har-
ris held a county meeting at the
Middleburg Community House on
landscaping the home yard. each
Individual plant, he said, should be
planted for a definite purpose. 1t
should meet one of these five re-
quirementS:
l. Foundation planting, to tie the
house to the yard.
2. Forming boundaries and separ-
atihg areas
3. Screening, to shut out undesir-
able views.
f. Shade trees.
5. Corner planting.
IL 0dCIl kJlctIlC OOCo I1Ot olIoWSA .OAAN
of these five purposes it is out OF
place. How does your plant arrange
ment measure. up?
According to Mr.. Harris the three
fundamentals that are absolutely es-
sential for all yards are: underpln-
ming the house, a good lawn, and
shade trees.
Mr.. Harris also discussed lawns,
explaining the preparation of the
soil that is necessary before sowing
the seed and giving proportions OF
seed mixture suitable for various
regions. He advised those interested
in this subject to write to him fof
the pamphlet entitled Better Lawns
in North Carolina. One point that
was particularly stressed was that
it is an erroneous idea that grass
especially Italian Rye, if allowed to
go to seed will reseed itself 1t only
grows up in tall shoots, Withers, anc
dies, leaving no grass for the next
year. Grass should be cut as soor
as it is high enough to be cut with
the mower set at high. The more
often it is cut the thicker the grass
becomes and the heavier the turf.
A few of the subjects in this phase
of study which will be taken up next
year by the home demonstrations
clubs will be pruning Of shrubs, in
sects and plant diseases, outdoor 1iv-
ing rooms, pools, rock gardens, ano
plant identification.
