Farm And Home
Planning
Ely JOY w. FRIZELL
Associate Home Agent

Spring is paint up, fix up
time. Several families on the
Farm and Home planning
program received assistance
last week from Kermit Ray,
State Extension Architect. He
worked with these families
on building and remodeling
plans, on building bedroom
and bath additions and on
building family rooms and
utility rooms.
Are you getting ready to
buy new furniture? 1t is an
important family investment
and you need to select with
care. Plan your purchase,
know where and how the
furniture is to be used. Think
about such things as quality
of construction, cost, good
line and design, and ease of
maintenance.
Consider these as you plan:
l. Size of family.
2. Ages of family members
= are there children or old
er people?
3. Occupation = does ia
TIERS work require dirt re-
sistant furniture. Is there a
working homemaker? Does
occupation n~ecessitate NOV
ing occasionally?
4. Taste of family in. fur
nishings = choose furniture
that reflects personality.
Examine the furniture care
fully. Look inside, behind
and under to see how it is
made, what materials are
used, and how it is finished.
After all it is your money
and you mant to get the best
for your money.

AND SOIL
TREATMENT

Some farmers think there
is no need to treat cotton
seed where soil treatment is
used. This idea is wrong. By
all mear.s treat cottonseed
with a fungicide before plant
ing. In addition use the plant
er box method to treat soil
and give extra protection to
cottonseed. There were no re-
ports of replanting due to
loss of stand from cour-ty
agents or farmers who used
both methods of cottonseed
treatment in 1861.

No work, no worry,

Why put up with the hard work and
worry Of chopping johnson grass in
your cotton, when control is better
with DoWpon0 grass killer?
The minute Dowpon is sprayed on
the leaves, it starts being absorbed
into every fiber of the grass-incIud-
ing roots and rhizomes. And johnson
grass, so tough to kill by other
methods, yields to the tops-to-roots
killing power of DoWpon.

COTTON PLANTING

w ~4N LIZA A4NG
Favorable weather ove1
the past few weeks has al
lowed most farmers to get
most of their fertilizer in the
ground and their land pre-
pared for planting.
Keep in mind that cotton
is a warm weather plant and
will do much better if plant
ed wheE the soil warns up
and has been warm for three
or four days steady running.
Native grasses grow much
better than cotton under cool,
damp conditions.
Use a fungicide to treat
seed. If you are going to
plant cotton before May 1st
you should definitely use a
furgicide to help prevent your
cotton seed from rotting and
prevent the young seedlings
from damping off or taking
root rot.
This fungicide can be used
in what is known as hopper
box method" by just mixing
two and ore-half or three
pounds of the fungicide with
enough cotton seed IN tn c
hopper to plant one acre.
However, your best method
in mixing fungicide with
seed is to take two large tubs
and apply approximately
three pounds of the fungiclde
with enough seed to plant an
acre. Then when you put
your seed in the hopper for
planting add another cup OF
the fungicide to each hopper
and let it sift down through
the seed as they are agitated.
From the results over tibet
past two years l feel you de-
firitely &c. your money from
this extra trouble.
Keep in mind it is neces-
sary 10 use two ard one-half
to three pounds of fungi
eide for each acre planted
in order to do an adequate
job.
Also, keep in mind when
using a fungicide to treat
cotton seed the use of the
ma, erial decreases the a.
mount of seed you plant ap-
proximately Is per cent. Open
your planter enough to take
care of this reduction in the
number of seed per hill OF
drill so you will have plenty
Of seed in the ground.
If you are planning on oil
ing your cotton to help con-
troll Young grass prepare your
seed bed with a round roller
or a broad, round packer
wheel so you will have /;
flat surface for oiling. Tn
preparation at planting tim,
will determine how good
job you can do in controlling

NO RIDERS

Particularly on tractors. Re-
member, tractors are de-

on a tractor car lead to trag-

Most of the children from
4 to 8 years old killed in
tractor accidents were just
along for the ride.
Grandad, don't take little
Johnny for a ride with you
on the tractor. Last year two
children under six were run
over by tractors in Mississip-
pi. Their grandfather was
taking them for a ride and
they fell off. The same safe
ty precautions need be taken
by any driver Dad, big

CLEAN FLOORS -.
Perhaps your floors are in
for a good scruboing as part
of your spring house clean
ing. A part of this will be
removing old wax. Try using
rags moistened with turpen-
tine or other paint thinner. A
final rinse with soap and
warm water will be necessary
but do it quickly So the wa
ter won't have time to reach
he wood or to turn a shellac
coating white.
Your floors will last much
longer if they are waxed re-
gularly. Do it every A to 6
months. If you have children
IN the house, you'll probably
want to touch up some spots
oftener.
You can even remove ink
stains from wood flooring, if
you know how. Bleach them
with oxalic acid or other
commercial wood bleach.
You can remove rubber
marks caused by tennis shoes
and hard rubber heels with
naptha or pairt thinner.
Use alkali to remove stains
from vegetable oils and greas
es. But if you've got grease
from the car or drippings
from your vacuum cleane,
motor on the floor, there's
not much you can do about
it except sand off all the
stained area.
Other badly stained areas.
such as places where water
has stood for some time, also
will require sanding. After
the stain is removed, patch
