COTTON -.
If you have not defoliated
your cotton or it has not had
natural defoliation, it would be
well to defoliate as soon as pos
sible in order that the bollS will
open before bad weather sets
in so that you may pick as soon
as possible. Beware of starting
picking in the mornings before
the dew dries from the lint OF
the cotton. Picking cotton wet
in hte mornings can reduce the
grade of your cotton which will
NEAR from $1,000 to $4,000 pc:
bale reduction. Do not star
mechanical pickers before $3.50
to $50 o'clock each morning in
order to get better grade and
staple.

Increase Shown In
SIS Disability Payments
In Holmes During go

According to figures released
by Luther H. Bolton, Green
wood Social Security District
Manager, last years changes IN
Social Security resulted in {
large increase in local disability
payments. In Holmes County ap-
proxmately 100 were getting So
cial Security Disability pay
ments in December, 1860. This
is an increase of 46 per cent
over 1859.
The 1860 amendments re
moved the age requirement for
Social Security Disability In
surance payements. Before these
changes, cash payments coulc
only be made to disabled work
ers who were so years of age
or over. Since younger disabled
workers have growing families
to support. the 1860 amend
ments are particularly signifi
cant = they not only help tbs
young disabled worker himself
but also make it possible fol
certain of his dependents to re.
ceive disability benefits.
Over *87, 1000 people wer,
getting Social Security Disabili
ty benefits at the end of 1860
This is almost so per cent more
than in 1859. About half of this

basket.
If you prefer to hang up ma
chine-Washed clothes to dry,
you will have to use part of
the spin sycle to avoid dripping.
To reduce w%rinkling in wash
wear fabrics. the home econom-
lists suggest using regular ra-
ther than slow-speed washing
agitation on two-speed machines
and a cool rinse, whether the
clothes are washed in warm or
cool water. Take the clothes
from the washer, after only a
third of the spin cycle.
These tests were with clean
swatches of fabric. The home
economists are making further
studies of laundering soiled
Wash-Wear fabrics.
They are using wash-wear
blouses Numbered after normal
wear.

SALAD IDEA
A simple and popular fruit
salad idea is to use peach strip
as part of the liquid called for
in gelatin recipes. Then fold in
slices or diced peaches when the
gelatin mixture thickens. For
variety simmer the peach strip
for ten minutes with whole
cloves, allspice and cinnamon to
give it a spicy flavor Then
strain and add to dissolved CELIA
tin. Later fold in fruit, along
with chopped nuts or coconut.

Condemnation NeuA
BY S r. GOA

On noting what an excellent
cover of Bermuda grass MI. T.
8. Lehman had on his pond
dam and spillway, l asked him
how he did it. This is what he
told me.
You remeber this dam was
not finished until December 6.
1859. The Holmes County Soil
Conservation District recon-
mended that | use rye grass un-
til warmer weather came and
then establish Bermuda. So, the
next day, while the disturbed
soil was still fresh, l applied
6-8-8 fertilizer to the dam and
spillway at the rate of 600
pounds per acre. l then sowed
ten pounds of rye grass seed
over this area and it wasn't
long until the grass was thick
and green. The rye grass did
we'll even during the winter and
kept the winter rains from doing
any damage to the dam or the
spillWay. About the last of May
| narrowed the rye grass, which
had already made seed heads,
and sowed Bermuda grass seed,
using seed at the rate of seven
pounds per acre. After the Ber~
muda was up to a good stand,
I t~op-dressed it with so pounds
of ammonium nitrate. The Ber-
muda grass grew fast and soon
completely covered the dam and
spillway."
Mr.. Lehman solved his prob
lem. as others have done, by
planting rye grass to protect the
dam during the winter months.
Usually it is easy to get a good
cover of Bermuda. Bahia, or
F'escue during the warm months.
The dam should have not less

either seven pounds of Bermuda
grass seed, IS pounds of Bahia
grass seed, or 80 pounds of fes-
cue seed per acre. Thirty pounds
of available nitrogen should be
applied per acre after the grass
has begun to grow. Bermuda
springs or sod may also be used,
with fertilizer at the same rate
as with seed. Under all circum-
stances, use enough seed or sod
and enough fertilizer on a good
seed bed, preferably as soon as
the construction work is finish

Aame A9enA Note4

BY MARY HARPOLE

How shall | launder my wash
wear garments for fewest wrin-
kles and the least amount of
ironing? Every homemaker IS
interested in the answer to this
question.
To find an answer. U. S. De-
partment. of Agriculture home
economists tested several easy
care fabrics, including Arnel,
cotton, Dacron, nylon, orion
and blends of these fibers.
In general, they found the
surest way to avoid ironing is
still to drip dry these wash
wear fabrics after washing a
small load at a time in luke
warm or even cool water. This
method works well whether you
wash by machine or by hand.
For best results, avoid squeez-
ing or wringing the fabrics or
citing them spin in the washer.
You NAV prefer to take the gar
ment out of the machine after
washing and rinse them by hand
You may also take them out
Of the machine before the spin
cycle and put them badk for
the rinses. but remove them be-
fore the final spin. If your ma
chine will drain without spin
ing you could leave the drip
clothes in and skip the spin
cycle.
Perhaps you have no place
o hang clothes for drip drying.
In this case. the best way to
get the fewest wrinkles is to
dry the fabrics in an automatic
tumbler dryer at a medium
heat setting. After the clothe8
are dry, it helps to let them
tumble for about ten minutes
without heat. Take the garment
from the dryer and hang them
