| OFF the CUFF
BY RAY SPERBER

WHILE Fred Meckfessel and
" this jotter were showing our
poultry at the Central Ohio Poul-
try Clubs show at the Redwood
fair grounds, Sunday, we learned
that Redwood is almost as famous
for its racing horses as Frankfort,
KY. Many of the Redwood en-
thusiasts drive up to Fort Miami
nightly to bet on their favorite
trotters. Nearly 60 Redwood
owned horses are racing through
out the nation this summer.
There's legend in Redwood that
one can't get credit at the bank if
one doesn't own a race horse.

Crop Water Needs
Vary Widely
By H. L. DUSENBERRY

YOU CAN LEAD a horse to water,
but you have to lead the water to
the crop. If the horse is not thirsty,
he will not drink, and likewise when
he has enough, he stops. No judg-
ment is required on the part of the
When it comes to watering crops,
it is a different story. The owner
has to decide when to apply the
water, how much to apply and how
to apply it. The crop grows where
the seed is planted and must take
what comes in the way of weather,
water and care.
There are many factors that limit
crop production, such as soil fertil-
ity, crop variety, climate and water.
In Montana water is one of the most
important factors which determine
yield. Each crop has certain water
requirements for maximum produc-
ton. Let us take alfalfa for ex-
ample. By two irrigations a two
ton crop may be harvested. The
same field, given five irrigations,
may produce four tons in a season.
Alfalfa Water Needs
Alfalfa is a high water require
ment crop. 1t takes water from the
soil down as deep as six feet and
will stand heavy irrigation. The
first irrigation should be applied
after the soil has warmed up and
growing conditions are favorable.
If the soil has good moisture hold
ing capacity throughout the root
zone, one irrigation may be suffi-
cient for the first crop. This de-
ponds on soil moisture conditions
at the beginning of the season and

Crops Compared 70 Alfalfa
subsequent rainfall, however. For
lighter, sandy or gravelly soils, two
irrigations are often required for
each cutting.
When the growing season is short
and only two cuttings are taken,
from one to three irrigations for the
season are common. Where longer
growing seasons permit harvesting
three crops, three to six %irrigations
are usually required.
Alfalfa will stand heavy irrigation
on well drained soils. Usually six
inches of water, which is the equiv
alent Of six inches of rain, is the
maximum that should be applied at
time. On lighter soils the irri-
cation water should be applied in
less amounts and more frequently.
When alfalfa is planted with a
nurse crop, the crop should be irri-
gated earlier and more frequently
than it otherwise would. Stands are
often lost by allowing the ground to
dry out before the plant is well es-
tablished.
Pastures probably get more abuse
from irrigation than any other crop.

Strategy for South

ATLANTA, March, 2. (ANP)-
An "off the record" conference
of % outstanding southern lead
ers was held here last week to
draw up an informal program for
coordinated political action on
state and community level for lib
eral southerners in matters of for
eign and domestic policy.
Representatives at the meeting,
called by the Americans for DEM
ocratic action, were from nine
states and included persons said
to have displayed "a keen interest
in seeing a greater degree of CO.
ordination among southern lib
erals" Object Of the sponsoring
group was outlined as that of an
agency through which liberals
might work out common plans for
action. The meeting agreed that
the group could best serve it's pur-
pose by functioning as an "edu-
cational clearing committee stress
ing the liberal thought" rather
than identifying itself with any
particular goal, such as civil rights
or agricultural benefits.

Resolve to Apply Good Decorative Rules In 1850
BY GIodys Miller
Secretary, New York Chapter, American
institute Of Decorators

SeefefoFy. New York Chapter, American
institute Of Decorators
Decorating home should be an
adventure. not something you do
on the spur of the moment.
And contrary to the general
point of view. few men or women
have a natural instinct for the
interior decorative art. What Is
more. even fewer persons seem to
be able to apply the basic prin-
ciples of good taste they possess.
As the new year is about tc
begin, I'm going to pass on to you
some well-meant advice.
Fee Often Pays Itself.
Decorators work in different
ways. depending on time and
training and the size Of their Or
ganizations. Some. in stores, give
consultation costing you nothing,
as the store expects you to in time
purchase the things you will need
there. The private decorator can
not afford to do this, II adequate
time and thought are given to
your problem. So If you do not
purchase from the decorator, a
fee is charged for the informa-
ton.
Often this fee is saved many
times in the satisfaction you gain
In a job well done. If you actually
purchase furnishings. the amount
of the fee is applied to the total.
This practice has become neces-
sary because many people. in the
desire to have good decorator ad-
vice, misuse the service. They 60
from one decorator to another.
taking the legitimate time any
decorator expects to give a new
client. and expect the decorator
to assemble the scheme. The dec
orator takes these instructions in
good faith. 80
In many cases, the client proves
honorable and selects the plan she
prefers. But all too often the
client never returns. She either
shops fors the things she likes In
order to save the fee. never real
izing that she is, In fact, stealing
someone's time and money, or she
selects ideas she likes best from
each decorator and combines
them into hodge-podge. poorly
decorated rooms not realizing
that a good room is like q good
musical composition; the major
theme runs through the entire
scheme.
Resolutions for 1850.
A good decorator helps you pro-
rate your expendable monies over
a period Of months or years. At
each stage the room or rooms
appear to the, best advantage. All
seating pieces may not be bought
at once. Some money will be spent
for good and effective accessories.
For example. the room can far
better do without some needed
furniture than the permanent
above-mantel decoration. A good
picture, well framed, gives the
illusion. Of completion. |
In 1850, make these resolutions
If you wish to live in q well
furnished home:
/. Buy the essentials first.
2. Then a few good accessories.
3. Then all the basic items.
4. Then the final accessories.
