Temperatures are still warm enough to get the seed started and there's plenty of growing time to get a good root system established before hard freezing weather sets in. If you wait until November or December to seed fescue you run a danger of frost heaving the seed out of the soil and also suffering winter kill. To insure a good stand of fescue you need more than just seed. A newly constructed waterway or highly eroded land is a hostile environment for seed. It's usually highly acid, low in fertility and low in moisture. A soil test will show how much lime and fertilizer should be appUed. The surface should be roughly prepared. H it's pulverized to powder, it will wash away with the first rain. Seed can be broadcast over the land. A good, extra step is to come back over the seeded area with a cultipacker to provide good seed-soil contact. Seed can be drilled but you should follow the contour of the land to prevent excessive erosion. A newly seeded waterway should also be mulched with straw or hay to cover about 75 percent of the surface. The mulch cushions rainfall and holds moisture on the surface to benefit the seed. Plastic netting can be used to hold the mulch in place in the center of the waterway and prevent it from blowing or washing away. The cost of netting, properly installed, is cheap when compared to the cost of repairing a grassed waterway. Waterway repairs can be difficult but are needed to extend the life of the waterway. The best time to fix a wash is when it happens — before it gets bigger. Smooth and nil the eroded area, then seed and mulch. If the wash has grown, you may have to bring in a farm pan to reconstruct part of the waterway. Mulch and netting are useful in helping grass become re-established in repair areas. Don't ever drop rock or junk in a wash. This often accelerates erosion and widens the gully. Rock rip-rap can be used in some places to control high velocity run off but should be carefully designed and installed. Most grassed waterways on farms are better off without rock. Good waterway maintenance can prevent costly repairs. Get a good sod started with proper seeding, fertilization, mulch and netting. Thin stands can be interseeded with a notill drill if no serious washes have occurred. Give a waterway some additional fertilizer in the early fall and early spring (just like small grain) to promote good growth. Cut excess growth for hay or at least mow every two to three years to control bushes and trees that will start growing. Vary the width of the waterway—ease in one yearseed an extra 5-10 feet the next year. This prevents topsoil from building up at the edge. Better yet, bring the whole field into a conservation cropping system with crop rotations, terraces, contouring or stripe ropping to hold that topsoil in the field. One last thought — a grassed waterway is not a road. Traffic kilL grass and compacts soil. If you need a road, build one with grassed borders on both sides. A grassed waterway is designed to eliminate gullies and provide a safe way for excess runoff to leave the field. You can drive across a waterway but you can't cross a gully. The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) provides technical assistance in design and construction of grassed waterways and other conservation practices. Cost-sharing, money is also available through the Agrciultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) for many conservation practices. For more information, contact the SCS office in Warrenton.

Black Hole Astronomical observations reported recently reveal an enormous amount of material concentrated near the heart of our Milky Way galaxy providing strong new evidence for the presence of a black hole there. Black holes are believed to be the power behind quasars, massive objectives more luminous than the brightest galaxies in the universe. They liave a gravitational pull so great that nothing, not even light, can escape. If you have any question* or are interested in attending any of these activities, please contact Margaret J. Woods, home economics extension agent, at 257-3640.
