A Tussie Mussie Isn't Fussy
Tussle musste is an English term for a small round bouquet
of flowers and fragrant leaves. Katie made hers of tiny yellow
marigolds and purplish leaves of Dark Opal basil.
Tussle mussle is an old, old
English expression that means a
little bouquet of flowers and
fragrant leaves. Don't you think
It is ah interesting name?
* You can make a tussle mussle
to give to Mother for her birth
day or for Mother's Day, take
one to your school or Synday
school teacher to tell her how
much you like her, or make
little tussle mussles, one for
each guest, when you're having
a party. Once you've made one,
you'll find many times when a
little handful of a bouquet like
this Is Just what you want.
Katie has made her tussle
mussle fcf~little, bright yellow
marigolds (you see her picking
another one) and, for fragrant
leaves, she has used the dark
purplish-red ones of a sweet
smelling herb called "Basil"
In a new variety named "Dark
Opal". So she has a very pretty
color combination.
To arrange her tussle mussle
she grouped the marigolds in
the center, making sure all their
heads were even, and then plac
ed the pretty basil leaves around
the outside of the bunch of
marigolds. Then she tied the
stems together with soft string.
To set off the flowers, Katie
took a lace paper dolly, poked
her finger carefully through the
middle -of It to make a small
hole without tearing the doily,
and then poked the stems of the
flowers through the hole, push
ing the doily tight up around
the flowers. She can hold It
there with a piece of string
would round and round the flow
er stems so the doily can't slip
down away from the flowers.
Katie gave her tussle to her
Mother. Who do you know that
you'd like to honor with such a
I pretty, fragrant gift?
How To Avoid A
"Housewarming"
Housewarmlng can be fun, but
the kind of housewarming
brought on by the hot summer
sun only results in personal
discomfort or overloaded air
conditioners.
Since as- much heat penetrates
the walls as any other area,
people building new concrete
block or brick cavity homes in
the southern half of the nation
should welcome these tips on
the value of wall insulation:
Scientists at the Zonollte Di
vision of W. R. Grace &. Co.
report that tests with water
repellent granules of the min
eral vermiculite prove that wall
insulation can markedly in
crease comfort and reduce
cooling expenses. The material
can be installed in only a few
working hours.
^Besides lowering the electri
city cost of cooling, many home
owners have been able to im
mediately save the full cost of
the insulation because smaller
and less costly air conditioning
units were required.
Homes with wall Insulation
often are quieter, too. In the
tests with water-repellent ver
miculite, loudness was cut be
tween 20 and 31 per cent.

ASCS NEWS
John R. Davis
Franklin County ASCS Manager
Franklin County cotton farm
ers have asked a number of
questions about the new pro
gram In effect for the coming
year. Perhaps an answer to
some of these questions will
be helpful to our producers.
In order for a cotton pro
ducer to receive a price sup
port payment, he must plant
within the farm's domestic al
lotment. The payment will be
based on the lumber acres
planted times the normal yield
for the farm times 3 1/2 f per
lb.
At the time the reporter visits
a cotton farm to measure the
acreage planted, he will ask the
farm operator who has an In
terest In the cotton. When the
price support payment is made
the division of this payment
will be based on how the pro
ducers on the farm share in
the cotton. For example, a
farm operator and tenant are
on one-half shares in the cotton
crop; therefore, causing the
payments to be shared likewise.
In other words, the division
of the payment will be based
on Interested producers and
their percent shares.
Will producers receive a price
support payment on the acreage
of cotton planted which failed?
Yes, if the cotton was planted
with the Intent of harvesting the
crop; however, no payment will
be made to producers who
merely plant their cotton and
Intentionally allow It to fall.
Do cotton producers have to
sign-up to participate In this
program? No, there Is no
sign-up period and there is no
need for cotton producers to
visit the County Office unless
they have some questions con
cerning the program. This Is
unlike wheat, In that producers
must visit the office on or be
before April 15 to make their
lntenttons known concerning the
new wheat program.
Speaking of the wheat pro
gram, a rather large number
of the Franklin County wheat
growers have already visited
the County Office to sign-up
In the program. Those who
participate will b? eligible
for diversion payments, price
support payments and certi
ficates valued at "Of per bushel
and 25? per bushel depending
on the number acres of wheat
planted for grain.
What can the wheat producer
who participates In the pro
gram do with the wheat he ac
tually produces on the farm?
This wheat can be put under
price support, marketed, stored
on the farm, and fed to live
stock. Regardless of whichever
choice he makes he will still
receive certificates and diver
sion payments as long as other
program provisions have been
met. ...
Producers who have questions
about the wheat and cotton pro
gram should call or visit the
County Office for further Infor
mation concerning these two
programs.
