BY the Associated Press

BLACKSBURG, Va.-Of all
Virginia farmers selling any type
livestock, more than half of them
sell calves at one time or the
other.
Jack Johnson. agricultural
economist, concluded this from
a survey Of the marketing habits
Of Virginia livestock farmers.
He said the study showed of
all farmers interviewed who sold
livestock. about 80 per cent sold
cattle. 80 per cent sold hogs and
Z per cent sold sheep. However,
more than half, or 81 per cent,
sold calves.
Mr.. johnson found that about
IA per cent of the farm tenants
in the State selling livestock, sold
cattle: SO per cent sold calves
and 26 per cent sold hogs. Only
l per cent sold sheep and lambs.

House Plants Need
Special Winter Care

House plants which you have
moved indoors from the outside
need special care. And house
plants which have been indoors
all summer still need extra care
because of the lowered humidity,
higher temperatures and poorer
light.
Use some device to get more
moisture into the air near the
plants. To do this, fill a water
proof tray partly full of coarse
gravel. Then fill the tray with
water until it half covers the
gravel and set the plants on top
of the gravel. Do not set the pots
in water, that will encourage root
and crown rot. root drowning and
general lack of plant vigor.
It's not advisable to increase
humidity by overwatering the
plants and then placing them in
a warm room. That practice will
upset the plants balance Of abb
sorbing, using and giving off water.
If possible. keep plants in cool
rooms such as bedrooms. Warm
temperatures-those above so de-
grees-often dry out plants, caus-
ing poor growth and poor blooms.
Also 1t is recommended that
blooming house plants. such as
gloxinias and geraniums,
be placed in a south or west win
dow during the winter so they
can get the best light.

Twenty-Five Shows Hath This Winter,

By james Birchfield-

McCray up as q poor weather
prophet.
Things seem to persist in get
ting twisted about on The 40 Acres.
Nothing seems to serve the pur-
pose for which it was intended.
There is the chicken house for
example. OF course, the chickens
won't stay in it. They prefer to
roost in trees and to lay their eggs
out in the brier patch where it
is quite impossible to find them.
I was glad to note the other
morning, however. that the
chicken house is being used. When
I went out to feed I found the
whiteface steer looking out the
door.
What is more, the day before I
had put fresh. clean and sweet
smelling hay on the chicken house
floor and in all of the nests hoping
to attract the chickens back to
their home, and my steer had
eaten it out Of the nests and most
of the hay off the floor.
He had overturned the chicken
feeding tray and had upset the
water bucket. ! got him out finally,
and I now notice that he looks
longingly over the fence at the
house with the hay on the floor
and no chickens inside.

I have it from Bob McCray that
we are to have 20 SHOWS this
winter.
According to Bob. this is be-
cause the first snow Of the season
came on November 20. You can
always be sure, he said, that there
will be just as many SHOWS as the
day in November that the first
snow falls.
I can't remember the day of the
first snow last winter, but it must
have been on November /. It
seems to me that we had one snow
and that it lasted about the en-
tire winter.
According to Bob this rule of
his doesn't apply to any month
but November. If you don't get
q snow during that month. I sup
pose. there won't be any that year.
On the other hand, it may be
that the first snowfall in Decem-
ber. say, could mean a complete
Generalization of the weather.
Things could go to pieces, so to
speak, and we would never know
where we were with the weather.
I have just obtained a good
country calendar with all sorts of
information on it. and places to
write down such things as when to
plow the garden and when the
cow will have her calf.
Lam going to put it to good use,
too. this winter. Every time. we
have a snow I'm going to mark it
off. And If we don't have exactly
20 snows-well-I'll show Bob

Prepare Flower Bed

With open fall conditions 1t is
possible to dig the flower garden
where perennials or ANIMALS are
to be planted next spring. This
will permit earlier spring plant
ing. On slopes safeguard against
soil erosion. If domestic ryegrass
or other cover crops were sown
earlier they should suffice. Other
wise, a liberal scattering of
leaves, clean plant waste material
or branches of twigs of trees will
assist materially In preventing
runof of soil.

spring rush. However, it is not de-
sirable to prune roses, crepe
myrtle, ETC., that sometimes
Observation-Disclosures wait until
March. The grapes. fruit trees,
summer Towering shrubs and
shade trees can be taken care of
now. If the roses are tall and ex-
posed to winds, they might be
cut back to about 3 feet so that
they will be less of q target for
winters blasts.
Tie up the globe arbor vitae
and other evergreens that have
many trunks to keep them from
spreading under the weight of a
heavy snowfall. Use coarse string
or light rope and do not tie them
too tightly, just enough to keep
them upright.
Evergreens and shrubs growing
below the caves that may be in
jured by snow-slides should also
be given some protection.
Now is the time to lift chrysan-
themum clumps and place them
on a slight ridge where they will
be protected from excess moisture
during the winter. A cold frame is
even better since it will keep them
dry. Lift the clumps with a ball
Of earth so as not to disturb the
roots.
Hardwood cuttings of many
kinds of shrubs may be taken at
this season. Tie the cuttings C to
8 inches long) in bundles and bury
them in moist peatmoss or sand.
They should be placed where they
are not likely to freeze. Next
spring the cuttings may be set in
rows in the vegetable garden or
propagating bed where they will
take root and grow. This is the
easiest form Of taking slips"
Seeds of woody plants should be
planted at this season Of the year
because they need freezing and
thawing to help termination.
Plant them in pots filled with a
mixture of sand, loan, and peat
moss. The pots are more likely to
give the desired freezing and
thawing than propagating bed
in this area.
Select bushy, well shaped
spruce or fir for the Christmas
tree and have it potted in q large
tub or box. Keep in a protected
situation until time to bring in
doors for duty. Such trees are
safer from fire hazards than cut
trees and after the holidays they
may be set out in the yard to grow
and serve as a part of the land

No doubt some will consider out

temperatures have fallen and the
first snowfall has come. There are
many chores that can still be done
whenever the soil is dry enough
to be worked. Not only can plant
ing be continued, but the soil can
be spaded and made ready for
the first crops next spring. Also.
seeds Of the hardy ANIMALS may
be planted even though the soil
is wet. There are the cleanup jobs
such as bringing in poles and
stakes, gathering weeds and trash
from around the yard. and max
ing certain that there are no
pockets to hold water near dor
mant bulbs and flowers.
The flower arranger can still
find many useful materials in the
garden and along the roadside.
There are dried flower and seed
pods. twigs, fruits and cones that
may be worked into interesting
winter decorations. A few minutes
walk around the garden or across
a field and into the woods will do
the trick.
