''Horney of Plenty" Miss Reed
and Bill Horney are, indeed, to
be commended. The costumes
were a display of perfection; the
lighting, so effective; the music
and dancing, delightful; the art
work, a job well done. The whole
program-from the lovely queen
and her court to the dancing COW
was one long to be remembered.

During Storm

A weather emergency kit" for
the home is being adopted by
many families. They find L worth
while to keep on hand equipment
and supplies to make living as
comfortable as possible during a
flood or when a hurricane or
other severe storm blows power
lines down.
Emergency lighting is the first
need. One or more Coleman Ian
terms, preferably at least two, are
recommended. These are avail
able to burn different fuels
white gasoline, a canned gas, or
kerosene. A fiashlight is desirable
as supplementary lighting.
Cooking equipment is neces-
sary if the kitchen range is cleo
trio. A gasoline-presSure stove of
the Coleman type performs like a
kitchen range and is as safe and
as simple to operate.
AT the first sign of a severe
storm, the bath tub and several
other large containers should be
filled with water if the regular wa
ter supply depends upon an cleo
lric pump. An emergency supply
of canned food is recommended.
Food that requires little water or
none in cooking is best.
A refrigerator will stay cold for
several hours if the door is opened
only When absolutely necessary.
If the power stays off longer and
if ice is available, use portable
picnic cooler as an indoor icebox.
A refrigerator will serve as an
icebox, too. Put ice in it in pans.
An additional reason to own
lanterns, a gasoline-pressure stove,
and a picnic cooler is that they
needn't be reserved for emergen-
cies alone. There's no reason not
to take them on picnics, vacations,
and other outings if they are
promptly brought back to the
house and if a supply of fuel is
kept for emergency use.

Plan Soil And Wafer
Field Day, August 7

Farmers may see new and
unusual soil and water conserva-
ton measures in action at a
ate-wide field day August 2 on
the USDA Soil and Water Con-
Servation Research station near
Coshocton. The event will be the
first of its kind on the station in
four years.
Riding and walking tours, each
requiring about one hour, are
scheduled to begin at 900 a. m
and run continuously throughout
the day. Tours will point out
soil and water conservation
measures being applied to sta
ton land and show various in
struments used in soil studies.
L. l.. Rummell, dean Of the
Ohio State UniVersity's College
Of Agriculture and director of
the Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment Station, will speak.
Visitors touring the station
will see a side-hill seep develop
ed for stock water, multiflora
rose fence, improved pastures,
diversion bitches, waterways,
tree paintings, contour corn and
meadow strips, contour fencing,
and many other conservation
practices. They will view equip
ment for measuring runoff wat
er and erosion from farm fields,
for testing soil characteristics and
for irrigating crops.
They will see a lysimeter, an
instrument for measuring the
use of water by crops and the
deep seepage of water below
plant roots. This unique instru-
ment consists Of a 65-ton block
of undisturbed soil 8 feet deep,
encased in concrete walls and
steel bottom. It is set on scales
which record weight changes as
small as five pounds. An i'm
plement display will be another
field day feature.
The station, which provides
facilities for a Soil Conservation
Service training center for %
states, is 10 miles northeast of
Coshocton on Route 621. The
field day is being sponsored by
the Ohio Federation of Soil Con-
servation District Supervisors
and the Coshocton Soil Conserva-
ton district, assisted by the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment station,
The Ohio State University Agri-
cultural Extension Service, and
the Ohio Soil Conservation
committee.

MyIon Is Suitable For
Tough, Sturdy (arpe,inq

Nylon, the same fiber used in
Women'S sheer hosiery, has won
approval of the consumer for
desirable carpeting, says Alma
Tapscott, instructor in the cloth
ing and textiles division, School
ofg Home Economics, The Ohio
State University.
The same characteristics which
are desirable in floor coverings
are those which have made nylon
so popular for many garments
elasticity, toughness, strength,
and abrasion resistance, states
the instructor.
Carpets made from this fiber
clean we'll and do not shrink.
Because nylon fibers are round
and smooth, they resist dust and
dirt. Most spots and stains can
be removed easily. Nylon is not
affected by moths, carpet beetles,
or other insects, nor is it weaken
ed by mildeW. Home owners can
expect long wear from nylon
carpeting because of its sturdy
fiber. Due to its elastic and re-
silent qualities, this floor cover.
ing resists crushing and mating
and retains its new" look even
after hard use in heavy traffic
areas and frequent cleanings,
adds Miss Tapscott.
Nylon carpets are available in
many constructions, including
tufted, chenille, woven frieze and
velvet-cut pile. There also are
vide variety of fast colors IN
Itch, lustrous tones because
nylon fiber takes q bright, clear
dye.
Miss Tapscott says blends of
nylon and rayon often are used
for Carpeting. In order to obtain
all the properties of nylon, at
least so percent nylon should be
used with rayon. Blends of 10 to
20 percent nylon with rayon or
wool will add durability to the
carpeting. However, the floor
covering will retain the charac-
teristics of the rayon or wool.

others didn't require any.
Each meadow field was given
special consideration Some were
put to corn and then seeded.
Others were reseeded by the
trash mulch method. About 500
pounds of 3-12-12 per acre was
used at seeding time, then 800
pounds of 0-2O-2O per acre per
year was applied as a top dress
ing.
To check scientifically the pre-
sent nutrient level of the soil,
Mr.. Layman and Roger King,

Gently took samples from two
fields and sent them to The Ohio
State University through the
county agriculture agents office.
The results of these tests, receiv-
ed in March, 1856, showed the
lining and fertilizing program
had paid off.
Some of the results of this
test were: Organic matter -
21sPo, which is usually l-l12%
in the district; phosphorus, which
is usually very critical element
in southeastern Ohio soils, had a
reading of 54 pounds per acre,
or very good, as compared to
most tests in Noble District,
which usually show a critical or
poor reading. Potash also had a
very high reading of $50 lbs. per
acre, which is far above average.
During the past five years Mr..
Layman has cut these meadows
3 or times per season, making
an average yield of around tons
per acre.
Mr.. Layman's farm contains
1874 acres of land, of which only
78 acres is being used for mea-
doWs, pasture and cropland. He
manages a grade "a dairy of
l6 head Jerseys and Guernseys,
and 80 head of fine wool sheep.
