Santa Comes Early For Warren Farmers
Santa Claus came early for several farmers
who this week received reimbursement checks
from the N. C. Agricultural Cost-Share
Program for installing conservation practices
to help reduce erosion and improve water
quality.
Some 48 Warren producers will soon be in
receipt of reimbursement checks for taking
part in a program for which Warren County
became eligible in August.
"We hope that during the next sign-up period,
to be announced at a later date, we can help
more of our local farmers and livestock pro
ducers through this on-going program,"
District Technician Bruce Perkinson said.
Those farmers and livestock producers want
ing more information about the Cost-Share Pro
gram should contact the Soil Conservation Serv
ice in Warrenton or call 257-3836, Perkinson
said.

GETTING A GUARANTEE
Carpet guarantees may
seem complicated, but not if
you know what to expect. To
begin with, you should know
that any specific carpet
you're looking at may have as
many as three guarantees.
The fiber is usually guaran
teed by the manufacturer.
Some fiber makers put the
guarantee in writing, others
do not. Generally this amounts
to guaranteeing the fiber
against ten percent wear in
five years. Remember how
ever, this guarantee is for the
fiber only and has nothing to
do with the construction of the
carpet.
The carpet itself is general
ly guaranteed for one full
year by most manufacturers.
In most cases, a reliable deal
er will stand behind the
manufacturer's guarantee, or
make the same guarantee if
the manufacturer doesn't. If
neither the manufacturer nor
dealer can do this, perhaps
you should think twice. Car
peting is a big ticket item and
you want somebody to stand
behind the product.

Agriculturally
Speaking
By RUSSELL C. KING
County Extension Director
Cold weather has arrived, and many potted plants are now being grown
inside as house plants.
When you grow plants indoors, you need to provide a slow rate of growth.
It is important to remember that environmental conditions, such as light and
humidity, are low. To keep plants growing at a slower rate, fertilizer levels
become extremely important.
In most cases, over fertilizing is the problem. Very seldom does under
fertilizing exist To help avoid over fertilizing, I suggest using a water soluble
fertilizer on your house plants. Water soluble fertilizer comes as a dry powder
or concentrated liquid and is mixed in water for dilution purposes.
Slow release and organic fertilizers are also good for house plants. Slow
release fertilizers release nutrients slowly. This helps to prevent over fertil
izing gives plants nutrients over a period of months. Organic fertilizers
also release nutrients more slowly than water soluble fertilizers, however,
some organic fertilizers have an odor which is objectionable for indoor use.
It is important to note also that slow release and organic fertilizers are more
expensive than water soluble fertilizers.
Again it is important to remember that you want plants to grow at a slow
rate during the winter. Many plants begin a winter dormant period during
which they require little or no fertilizer. Even plants which do not become
dormant require little or no fertilizer. The greatest response to fertilizer
applications occurs during spring and summer while the plants are in active
growth.
Symptoms of over fertilizing can vary and depend on the particular nu
trient involved. Symptoms can include stunting, leaf scorch, dead edges on
leaves, leaf yellowing, reddening or purpling.
For more information concerning growing house plants, call me at the
Warren County Agricultural Extension Office, 257-3640.
