Smith, Clemson xtension horticulturist, says hat a good home garden can Materially reduce the food >udget, provided simple rules elating to planting date, 'arieties, plant nutrition, pacing, and plant protection ire followed. The soil should be horoughly prepared prior to )lanting. This makes eultivaion easier during the season. \ soil test is basic for proper iming and fertilization. The ocal county office of the Clemson College Extension service nas cartons, and tne oiintv agent will forward ;amples to the soil testing aboratory at Clemson for malysis. After the results are mown, he will make fertiliser and liming recommendaions based upon the soil test. Probably the best way to ertilize the garden is to aroadcast the fertilizer and nix thoroughly with the soil it the time of preparation. Jse at least 25 pounds of a omplete fertilizer such as a 5-10-10 or a 6-8-6 per 1,000 square feet of garden. Furher fertilization in the form )1 sidedressing may be necessary for heavy feeding crops such as potatoes, cabbage, and tomatoes. Some vegetables, notably garden peas, carrots, and lettuce, grow best when the weather is cool. They won't do well if planted on the first warm day of spring?it's too late. But beans, tomatoes, squash and other vegetables grow best in the summer time. Plant vegetables suited to the season. You may think that homegrown seed are cheap ? but they may prove to be rather expensive ? especially if they are diseased. In general, seed grown in the arid regions of the West show more freedom from disease, Smith said. Select the proper variety best suited to your region. It's hard to make people feel at home when you wish they were. THE CLOTHMAKER i Just for Today JUST FOR TODAY I will try to strengthen my mind. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer; ( I will read something that < requires effort and thought. JUST FOR TODAY I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will help somebody by a good turn and not uet found out; I will do at least two things I don't want to do, as William James said?just for exercise. JUST FOR TODAY I will be agreeable. I will appear as well as I can, dress as becomingly as possible, talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise, criticize not at all, nor find fault with anything and not try to regulate nor improve anyone. JUST FOR TODAY I will try to live through this day, a not to tackle my whole life d problem at once. I can do tl things for 24 hours that would r; appall me if I had to keep VN them all up for a life time. JUST FOR TODAY I will (? be happy. This assumes what P Abraham Lincoln said is true, that "Most folks are about as si happy as they make up their ir minds to be." Happiness is ., from within; it is not a mat- it, ter ot externals. JUST FOR TODAY I will y try to adapt myself to the * present, and not attempt to ,( adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my family, 1 my business, and my licks as ' they come and fit myself to c them. c a .TilST FOR TODAY T will ? take care of mv body.

Arayed on a table before her re re a hat box, several beakrs, a thermos bottle and a ackage of tissues. "Ladies and gentlemen," tie began, after acknowlcdgig her introduction and the pplause w h i c h followed, today 1 am going to show ou something about magic .. the magic of science and ?chnology in textiles." As she spoke, she ran her ingers lightly back and forth cross a large scarf and with ach motion the scarf magially changed color. The udience, with a smile of apreciation and anticipation, ettled back. The young lady was one of lore than 40 "Textile Traelers" who are helping the idustry to put its best foot arward by taking the dramaic story of modern textiles o schools, c 1 u b s and civic roups throughout t h e texile south east and in other iarts of the country. With experiments, demontrations and samples, "The 'extile Traveler" shows and ells her audience of the progess of textiles.

As she talks, she reaches continually into her fabriccovered hat box, pulling forth ind displaying to her audience an ever-changing variety of textile items. She begins with an inflated balloon, carefully wrapped, which she identifies as King Tut. She points out that the wrappings for Egyptian mummies represented one of the early uses for textiles. When she deflates the balloon. or as she tells her audience, "lets the wind out of King Tut," the wrappings retain their shape. This, she points out, is because they are of conforming, self-adhering gauze?engineered by d the textile industry for use in ' wrapping ankles. fingers, wrists, elbows and knees. The "Traveler" demonstrates and describes stretch fabrics, water-repellent gauze that "takes the wetness out of water," dry and wet wrinkle recovery, fabrics treated with fluorochemicals for stain resistance. three different end nroduets?rarnet ine hlanket material and jersey?engineered from the same acrylic fiber and an artificial artery made on a converted tieknitting machine. Stating that fashion is "much, much more than the cut of the cloth, it is the cloth itself," the "Traveler" uses samples of fashion fabrics to illustrate trends and the importance of fabric weight, weave, color and tex- ( ture to the fashion world. The "Traveler" also shows and tells the many military and industrial uses for textile products and concludes with a look into the future of such new textile developments as non-woven fabrics, laminated fabrics a n d experiments on fabrics with resistance to air borne dirt, corrosion, abrasion. rot and radiation. She tells of the role played by textiles in equipping our space explorers.
