I ; -*» V * *> ’ i ♦ I* * / Thursday, September 21, 1950 Your first step in washing a sweat er comes when the sweater is new. Outline on paper that can be used as a guide for shaping the sweater after it’s washed. Sweaters are washed best before they’re too soiled, and one sweater at a time. Remove fancy buttons or trimmings. 1 Test the water for its lukewarm temperature by dropping on the wrist. If you can’t feel the water the temperature is correct. Squeeze the sweater through the water, working quickly and gently. Dry flat in an airy place. Sweaters don’t stand for soaking, vigorous rubbing, twisting or wring ing, up and down dousing or drying near heat or in the sun. Keep the sweater under the water while washing. Even in taking from the water, lift from below so thj weight of the water does not pull it from shape. If you’re in a hard water area, use softened water or a detergent for washing. Soap in hard water gets locked in the knit and is very dif ficult to remove. A soft hand brush dipped into mild suds is good pre-washing treatment for sweater necklines and soil on long sleeve cuffs.

CANNON, County Agent Boll Weevil Tour Today The State Cotton Insect and Di sease Committee has arranged a tour through the Piedmont section to ob serve good practice of insect and di sease control today. September 21. The first stop will- be made at the farm of J. Frank Davis near Prince ton at 1:15 a. m. From there the tour will go to Homer Owens’ farm, lo cated on the Laurens-Greenville highway near Narnie. This tour is open to the public and it is hoped that many people will join the tour at these two stops. The tour will leave Laurens county for Greenwood county to observe similar work, re turning through the Hopewell com munity below Clinton in the after noon on its way to Union county for the following day. Fairs Time is fast approaching for fall fairs in various counties and com munities. The Laurens county lair will be held October 30-November 4. Much interest is being shown in a real fair. Communities and individ ual farmers should begin at once pre paring for showing exhibits. Those wishing to show livestock will be re quested to have cattle tested within 30 days of the fair for T.B. and Bangs diseases. Also hogs to be ex hibited must be treated against cho lera. It will be necessary for a cer tificate from an accredited veterin arian to accompany the livestock showing such vaccination or tests. No livestock will be shown unless such has been treated. The purpose of such is\to prevent the spread of diseases. \ Pastures For Winter Grazing Many farmers are preparing land for seeding permanent and tempo rary grazing for the 'winter. Due to the shortage of hay, it is most im portant for fall seeding at once of winter grazing. Land should be well prepared, fertilized at the rate of 800 to 1,000 pounds of 3-12-12 or 3-9-9 fertilizer; seeded at the rate of 17 to 18 pounds of Fescue with one to two pounds of Ladino Clover. Other good mixtures are 3 bushels oats, 2 bushels barley, 30 pounds Italian Rye grass and 20 pounds Crimson Clover seed per acre; also 40 pounds Italian Rye grass and 20 pounds of Crimson Clover. The last two mixtures mentioned should be seeded at once. The fescue and La dino Clover seeded by the first to the l£th of October. All clovers should be. inbculated with at least four times the amount recommended by the company and it is cheap. A circular letter was mailed last week to farmers throughout the county calling to their attention the importance of fall seeding for win ter grazing. No prettier scenery in Laurens county than \the land cov ered with a blanket of green from which livestock graze, thereby elim inating man labor for harvesting the feed. Also this carpet of green will serve as soil conserving which is important for a successful agricul ture Grass farming is safe farming in that it keeps the ground covered with a blanket and the close root system ties the soil particles dow-n and prevent erosion. a \ NO FOREST FIRES IN COUNTY LAST MONTH No forest fires occurred in the 244,735 acre timber area of Laurens county last month, the State Forestry Commission reported this week. « * 4 t * 4 ♦ * 4 *4 V 4 4 > i' Compare!
