FRIDAY Shop Rose's — Gash — Lay-Away or Master Charge pend, to a large extent, on your up-to-date knowledge of the kinds and qualities of fabrics available for your specific needs. The more you know about the fabric you pick, the more likely you are to make a wise choice. In upholstery fabrics, the quality and price range is so great that you can pay as little or as much as you like. But it should be remembered that appearance and perfor mance do not always go to gether. Be sure just what you want from your upholstery fa bric before you buy. Your choice should be influenced by a num ber of factors. You will want to consider: (1) the amount and kind of use the piece of furni ture will receive; (2) the style of the piece of furniture and the other furnishings in the room (3) the amount and kind of care you are willing to give for its upkeep; and (4) the length of time you expect it to last. Upholstery fabrics should look comfortable and feel good to the touch. To judge a fabric, you need to be able to feel and handle it. In most cases, new furniture is offered with a choice of coverings, and there are swatches of each fabric line available which may be handled and checked for de sirable qualities. Read all labels, and note and compare prices. Price alone is less expensive fabric might serve your purpose as well or better than a more costly one. Study the hang-tags, labels, and information imprinted on fabric selvage. Look for the name of the fiber or fibers contained and the percentage of each one. Labels should specify whether a fabric is color fast to light, laundering, drv clean ing, crocking, and/or gas fumes. The label may haye a number of letter which indicates fabric classification or uality. The low quality fabrics are usually labeled with low numbers or the first lettersof the alphabet. For example, *11* • would indicate much better quality than “4*; if lettered “K* would indicate better quality than *D*. Ask the salesman to interpret this information.

ASC Community Committeemen, Alternates Are Elected In Mail Vote BY MARY W. MONROE County Executive Director Farmers of Laurens County elected on September 15 a totad of 40 Community Committeemen and alternates in a mail election conducted earlier this month. ASC Community Committees assist the Laurens County ASC Committee in administering farm programs such as wheat, cotton, feed grain bases, and agricultural conservation cost sharing measures. They also keep local producers informed of farm program provisions and regulations. In addition, the just-elected ASC Community Committees have an important responsibility in the near future in filling vacancies on the County ASC Committee and determining the chairman and vice-chairman for the coming year. The new ASC Community Committeemen convened Tues day, September 22, at the County ASCS Office, Laurens, to elect one county committeeman to serve a three year term and two alternates to serve one year terms. After the vacancies are filled, the Community Com mitteemen will determine which of the three regular members of the County ASC Committee will be the chairman and vice- chairman.

OUTZ COUNTY AGENT It is time to seed fall pas tures, whether it be permanent or temporary. We are finding quite a lot of temporary graz ing is already up. Fescue does best if it is sown alone in an area, except when it has one to two lbs. of clover per acre. Some people will sow oats with fescue. Personally, I have never felt that this was a good prac tice, Inasmuch as the oats tend to compete too much, and where you have oats you should have fescue. Lime is one of the essential elements according to our Agronomist, in establishing a good sod. Lime should be added before the ground is broken, so that it will be mixed thorough with the soil. As you know, it is nothing but ground stone and is not very soluble, so it should be ground fine and put down where the feeder roots are to give the greatest benefit. If you fail to do this before planting, you can imagine how slow it would percolate through the soil, con sequently it will not do very much good applied to the sur face. In fact, fertilizer that is applied and mixed with the sur face j{ the soil gives greater benefit than when it is applied to the surface, because it would have very little run off. So, in fescue I would recommend about 25 to 30 lbs. of good, clean seed and 1 and 1/2 lbs. of clo ver. We might be able to get some Tilman Clover if anyone is interested. Paul O’Dell has ordered 10 lbs of this clover, so we will get a good look at it in Paul's pasture. It is sup posed to hold up longer in fes cue pastures. Cattle do better on clover and grass mixed rath er than grass alone, Brood cows will give more milk, and the calves grow off faster. J. L. Epting of Route *1, Laurens, showed me a pasture recently that is completely eaten into the ground. The Armyworms seem:o find these good pastures, especially where they were fertilized recently and were growing off good. Mr. Epting has a group of cross bred heifers that he is planning to use as brood cows. He has all permanent pastures, no tem porary grazing. Mr. Epting seems to be one of these type of men who likes to grow ve getables, fruits, and live at home. He has good apples, scup- pernongs, collards and greens. George Wasson, Roscoe Bun dr ick, and I paid a visit this past week to the EdlstoExperi ment Station to look over the Soybean Experimental plots. We saw that sub-soiling really made a difference over the non sub-soiling. Also, it seemed that where lime was placed 18* below the surface at the rate of 1,000 lbs., and also superphos phate at the rate of 500 lbs. per acre, quite a difference was made over the check plot. We were very much interested in the no-till type of production since there has been quite a lit tle interest in this phase of production in the past year or so. Actually, the no-till didn’t look as if it would produce more than half that of the plots that were tilled-at least the size was a good third less than the other plots. Also, we saw that 30* rows seemed to be superior to the other row widths. Mr. Wasson believes that farmers are going to have to go to plac ing fertilizer under the row, due to the weed situation. I agree with Mr. Wasson, because where fertilizer is broadcast it seems that weeds and grasses just take over the field.
