Agriculturally Speaking By L. B. HARDAGE iJJ County Extension Chairman From observation over the years, the one weakest link in making a good tobacco crop in Warren County is in many cases a lack of good plants at the right time. Some of the reasons for this are as follows. Too many farmers just don't go to the trouble to make plants, some even do not plant beds. Others try, but do not do the right things at the right time. Some of the reasons for plant shortages are as follows: (1). Too little water. (2). Excess fertilizer. (3). Seeding too early. (4). Poor soil drainage. (5). Poor soil preparation. (6). Too few holes in plastic. (7). Putting holes in plastic too late. Now is the ideal time to gas plant beds. This can be done by the farmer or a custom applicator. This is usually a slack time for the tobacco farmer as welLas the custom applicators. In general most tobacco farmers have cut or disked Choose Carpet That Is Warm By BERTHA FORTE Home Extension Agent To keep that basement family room - or any cement-floored room cozy and comfortable this winter, choose a carpet that looks, feels and actually is warm. Some carpet fibers-wool and acrylic especially, are good insulators and so make a warmer carpet. Nylon fiber does little to insure against cold. As you might expect, a thicker, more dense carpet has greater insulating value. Deep shag or pile construction will be warmer than a level look weave. And a pad is important too, to insulate against cold. Psychologically, you will feel several degrees warmer in a room carpeted in shades of red, rust, orange, yellow, gold or brown. These "warm" colors are excellent choices for basements as well as above-ground rooms with a northern exposure. So, keep thermal comfort in mind when shopping for carpet, particularly if it's for a cement-floored room or a room on the north side of your house. tobacco stalks once, however, they need another going over as you will see many still growing and this is not the answer, total destruction is the right way.
