Meeting Holds Special Interest
By EMILY BALLINGER
Extension Agent
To add interest to one's
wardrobe from time to time,
ihdividuals enjoy wearing plaid
fabrics. One only has to stroll
through a fabric shop or
ready-to-wear clothing store to
know that plaids are very
popular now in both men's and
women's clothing.
Are you interested in
learning some of the principles
that will help you master the
art ol using and matcning
plaids? If you are you will want
to attend a special interest
meeting to be held in the
Warren County Agriculture
Building, Warrenton on Feb.
11. The program "Mastery of
Matching Plaids" will be given
by Miss Emily Ballinger, Home
Economics Extension Agent.
The meeting which will last approximately
one hour will be
given at 10:00 a. m. and again at
2:00 p. m.
Dry-Heat Can Produce
Sick House Plants
Coring for house plants can
fv>c< me fi u* ating this time of
ai, »-s|i ially when the
plants n £>n to show signs of ill
health.
These signs are very likely to
show up in the form of "burned"
leaf edges as if they had been
scorched by flame. If you have
plants with this symptom, the
problem may be house heat.
Henry J. Smith, extension
landscape horticulturist at
North Carolina State University,
said house plant troubles
often show up during winter
when dry heat causes marginal
burning or browning of leaves.
Another major source of
house plant problems is too
much water. There seems to be
a natural tendency to want to
water a plant too frequently
when it is in the house during
cold weather. This will cause
lower leaves to turn yellow and
drop off.
Too little light is another
cause of sickly house plants.
This will cause them to grow
spindly and one-sided.
Smith suggests adding moisture
to the room air to raise the
humidity and help prevent leaf
burning. Water the plant only
when the soil is dry to the touch
of your fingers.
Smith feels that these two
corrective measures alone will
cure most of the problems with
house plants.
If your plant isn't getting
enough light, either move it to a
better lighted window or
consider using a special
flourescent light designed for
plant culture.
If you are interested in
improving your skills in sewing
plaids, you will want to attend
one of these meetings.
