cue grass. If you don't get a
stand more than likely you have
done something wrong or have
left something that you should
have done undone.
Right now is the time to start
right, so you won't have to do
the job over next year. Seeding
a pasture is too expensive to
reseed too many times.
1. Get your seed now. When
you buy your seed insist on good,
clean seed. Certified seed are a
better buy even though they
may cost a little more. Your
seed dealers has some seed and
the earlier you get your seed
the surer you are that you will
have them at seeding time. You
will need only two pounds of
! Ladino Clover seed and 1C
pounds of grass seed per acre.
Some farmers think that that
is too few seed to put to an acre,
but just remember that Ladino
Clover seed are about the same
size as tobacco seed. When prop
erly seeded at the rate of 2
pounds per acre there will be
about rs seed per square foot.
and that's enough seed.
2. Be sure that the clover seed
are inoculated with the proper
inoculant. Your seed dealer will
be glad to sell you the inoculat-
ton at the sametime you get
your seed. Be sure to check the
date that is stamped on the pack
age, and be sure the expiration
date hasn't passed.
The best way to inoculate
clover seed is to pour them out
in a tub and dampen them with
syrupy water. Stir until every
seed is sticky. Then pour the
inoculant in and stir again until
all the seed are covered. Take
to the field and sow Immediately.
8. Plant Shallow. About IA
inch is deep enough for Ladino
Fescue seed and for most other
clover and grass seed. Before
seeding be sure that you have
a good firm seeded. Since you
are putting in seed about the
size of tobacco seed, the nearer
you can fix the land to tobacco
bed the closer you will come in
getting a good pasture started.
4. Sow both the Lidinc and
grass seed evenly. You want both
a good stand of clover and a
good stand of grass. A good way
is to divide the seed ano SOW
both ways across the field. The
best time to seed is in October.
5. Cover seed lightly. Usually
a peanut weeder following the
seeding will cover the seed pro-
vided the field is rolled or pack
ed into the ground.
6. Fertilize well. You can't
expect new seedlings to do much
foraging. their roots are small
and short. Put plenty of plant
food where the small seedlings
can get them easily after they
sprout. Generally we recommend
1000 pounds of 2-12-12 fertilizer
plus 500 pounds of superphos
phate in addition to the needed
lime-usually 2 tons per acre.
100 to 200 pounds Of hydrated or
builders lime has been very ct.
fective in helping the young
seedlings get started.
7. Work up a good, SMOOTH
firm seed bed. If you fix up a
good seeded you'll get better

termination and have fewer
weeds. Roll or pack the land
after seeding. If the land is too
loose and fluffy it may pay you
to pack the land both before and
after seeding.
s. If you can't NOW it don't
plant it. 1t is necessary to NOW
good pastures, both to control
weeds and to keep the forage
palatable and even. If the land
is rough you will hesitate in
moving so be sure to level your
evergraze because it weakens the
stand and encourages weed
growth. Avoid undergrazing by
cutting the surplus for hay OF
silage. Drag the pasture to scat
ter manure and prevent "spotty"
grazing.

Better Concrete Patches

ITO do an Al job of patching a con-
l. crete floor, it is essential to follow
a few simple rules so that a strong bond
is created between the new and old.
Simply cleaning out the old material
and filling the hole with new concrete
won't work satisfactorily.
Remove enough of the old concrete
so the bottom of the hole is as wide as
the top and uniformly deep. This will
hold the patch in place. Dampen the
old concrete to prevent water in the
new mix from being absorbed. Be GER
tain, however. that no surplus water is
left in the hole.

point. Anyway you look at it, its
purpose is TO encourage and edify
the readers and not TO glorify
and exalt the producers of the
column. This is as it should be.
Why should this pointly owned
space be made literary parade
ground for some Would-be intel
lectual genius to strut around
like vain peacock in all his
obnoxious pomposity. Here the
simple ramifications Of person
al story are exploited to the max
imum to show the finer human
qualities of our fellow workers.
The columns title, Sparklets,
signifies cheerfulness and
warmth and not necessarily lit
erary brilliance.
The reason I am going into
detail on this subject at this
time is because my attention has
just been called to a letter which
had appeared on the bulletin
board in D and which held this
column up in ridicule and scorn,
while apparently masquerading
as pseudo humorous thrust al
its literary contents.
We much prefer to be purvey-
ors of cheerfulness to those of
our number who are i'll or in
distress or bereaved and to be
Sharers of their happiness when
the occasion arises rather than
to attempt to strain ourselves
in showing how enormously
original and versatile we are in
wearing tortous patterns of scin-
tillating phraseology.

erstwhile critic, whose destiny
is inevitably oblivion, unless ne

Textile Desiqninq Career
By Dorothy Liebes

One of the most brilliant textile designers
in the business.
If I were preparing all over
again for career in textiles,
either in the designing. fabricat-
ing or technical side of the field,
I would probably follow the same
route which took me to my pres
ent work.
I believe that a textile designer
is born with a passionate desire to
fashion and create.
OF course, I started off with
drawing, painting and sculpture,
and a keen delight in fashioning
things with my hands.
When one of my instructors in
sisted that my paintings looked
more like textile designs than con-
ventional art I focused my atten-
ton on textiles and discovered
that they held a fatal fascination
for me.
Then I began to haunt libraries
and art sections where could see
books on design and it soon be-
came evident that design is a
universal language for all people
throughout the ages.
To help you articulate your
own creative ideas you should
draw and paint. The handling of
line and color is merely your way
of expressing what you feel and
think, and Is q must.

another company and unless ]
get as much here, I'll quit" That's
a big gamble and there's an aw-
fully good chance that the boss
may say, Sorry, no more dough, %
and unless you really have some
thing else lined up, I'm afraid
you'll be forced to check out.
Now sometimes a company may
agree that you're worth more
money to- them, but they may be
unable to give you any more at
the time you ask for it. If this
is the case, and you're promised
promotion in the near future, it
may mean more to your career
than a small immediate increase,
SO weigh these things carefully.
If, however. the job holds no
chance of advancement, it's prob
ably a good idea for you to con-
slider making a fast change, and
the sooner the better!
No matter how much pleasure
it gives you to hurl those venom

By Betty Betz
lnstoiIment XII.

When you accept job, make
sure that you clearly understand
the salary terms; it's better to
know beforehand than to think
that you've been robbed later on.
Most companies review all of
their employees salaries regularly,
and if your work is satisfactory
you should find a bulge in your
pay envelope about every six
months or every year. If your
company does not have such a
system, after year or so of good
work it's perfectly all right for
you to discuss this with your SUI
perior if you think you deserve
a raise.
Final warning! Make sure
you deserve a raise before you
sound off your chew box. Don't
ask for more money just because
you heard that some one else in
the Office has gotten a raise.
And, also, don't ask for one be-
cause you overspent last months
salary, or because you'd like to
blow yourself to fancy vaca-
ton. The only justif1able basis is
that the work you're doing makes
you more valuable to the COM
pany than when you were origi-
nally employed, so be sure you can
demonstrate this with facts.
AS I said before, you need to
have a lot of diplomacy and tact
to be successful in business. Ask
ing for a raise requires every
ounce of finesse you own, even
when you're convinced you have
a good case.
Choose the time carefully and,
if possible, make an appointment
to see your superior in advance,
so that you don't interrupt what
NAV he hectic hI,SinecS day

pany. You may find that even
without a raise you're doing bet
ter than you could elsewhere.
If you do bump into a better
job. give your company ample no
tice, and be as nice as possible
about it. Two weeks is usually
enough for beginners job, but
it depends a lot on the local
situation.
Next Sunday: Junior achieve
ment.
