Mulch Should Be
Used As Cover
For New Lawn
Fall is the best time to
seed cool season grasses
such as fescue and blue
grass in North Carolina,
and a valuable practice
in protecting these
seedlings is mulching
with grain straw.
After the seeds ger
minate and the grass
begins coming up, it
shouldn't be disturbed.
Don't worry about the
mulch. Nature will take
care of that.
Leave the straw in
place, suggest North
Carolina State Univer
sity agricultural exten
sion specialists. It will
settle close to the
ground and eventually
become incorporated
with the soil.
The vacuum created
by the whirling blades of
the lawn mower will
help remove some of the
straw, when you begin
mowing.
Never attempt to rake
off the straw from newly
sprouted grass. The
shallow rooted grass
will be pulled up, and
you will lose a sur
prisingly large part of
your stand.
If you have a grass
catcher on your lawn
mower, it can be used to
catch the straw that is
sucked up the first time
or two the new lawn is
mowed.
Hie mulch is valuable
on newly seeded sites in
protecting the bare soil
from erosion and in
protecting the young
grass seedlings by
helping retain moisture
and shielding the tender
growth from a hot sun.

Guilt Feeling
Not Necessary
Women in North Caro
lina are working more
outside the home, but
many are enjoying it
less because they suffer
from guilty feelings.
"There are many
myths concerning the
damaging effects a
working mother has
upon her family, but, for
the most part, they are
just myths," says Dr.
Leo Hawkins, extension
human development
specialist, North
Carolina State Univer
sity.
Children do not
become delinquent or
mentally or physically
unhealthy just because
their mother works.
"Other circumstances,
such as where they live,
whether there is a father
in the home or if they
have enough money to
live adequately, have to
be considered," Dr.
Hawkins says.
On the positive side,
studies show that
children of working
mothers more often help
with chores at home,
becoming responsible
and dependable at an
earlier age. They are
also more likely to know
what to do in an emerg
ency. "Children who
have jobs to do when
they get home from
school know that they
are needed and that
their contribution
counts," Dr. Hawkins
says.
As to the emotional
health of the working
mother herself, single
working women with no
children are said to be in
the best frame of mind.
Married women who
stay at home are the un
happiest.
"Women who work
outside the home
develop more self-confi
dence and a better
opinion of themselves,
especially if they are
working by choice and
get a sense of satisfac
tion from what they are
doing," Dr. Hawkins
says. Even their
children seem to have a
greater respect for the
working mother.
"And when a mother
feels good about herself,
she gets along better
with the children and
spends more quality
time with them," the ex
tension specialist says.
skills in all areas of the
school curriculum.
Mrs. Miller exhibited
her expertise, giving
demonstration lessons
in five areas of the
school curriculum, in
cluding reading,
language arts, math,
science and social
studies. Teachers
picked up new ideas and
techniques by actually
observing writing
lessons being taught in
their subject area.
"Student participa
tion and response was
excellent, too," said
Brenda Fuller, teacher
at North Warren.
W. T. Ramey, prin
cipal of North Warren,
said he felt that Mrs.
Miller's visit will have a
lasting effect on the
teachers at the school.
"Mrs. Miller told the
faculty that students
should be given the op
portunity to write some
thing original every
day," said Ramey. He
added that it was the in
tent of the faculty to
make a conscientious ef
fort to include the
teaching of writing in
the daily educational
program.
Capps Begins
Warren Duties
Lester D. Capps
began his duties this
week in land manage
ment and pulpwood and
timber buying with

wood Co. of Areola, ac
cording to Clinton

Basket Can Use Variety
Suspended or hanging bas
kets are excellent for show
ing off an attractive plant,
and there are many plants that
are well suited to grow in
these baskets.
Agricultural extension
horticulturists at North Car
olina State University suggest
using plants of drooping
growth habit in suspended
baskets.
The plants selected may
be some of those that you
normally use in summer flow
er beds.
Some plants that you may
want to try in hanging baskets
include the following: ivy or
ordinary geranium, ground
ivy, fuchsia, ageratum, sweet
alyssum, trailing periwinkle,
lobelia, petunia, heliotrope,
nasturtium, annual phlox,
verbena and Boston fern.
Baskets may be made of
various materials but those
made of galvanized wire are
the most popular, since they
are light, last for many years
and can be hung in many
places.
A good plan is to line the
baskets with a thick layer
of sphagnum moss and then
fill with good soil.
When dwarf plants are us
ed, they may be set in the
center of the basket and those
of the drooping habit set
around the perimeter.
Water thoroughly and keep
the soil moist at all times. A
good way to water is to im
merse the basket and let it
drain. This way you know
the soil and the moss are tho
roughly soaked.
A balanced fertilizer will
be needed. You can use a high
analysis type such as 20-20
20, but don't overdo it.
