Let us help you in budgeting
Keeping your credit rating up to
snuff is pretty important these
days. So here are some things you
can do to make sure you'll get a
loan or credit, if, and when, you
really need it. First, don't borrow
or charge a purchase unless you
already have a plan in mind for
paying the money back. Next,
don't let your family's monthly
payments for installment credit --
and that includes car payments --
exceed twenty percent of your take
home pay. Third, don't hesitate to
cry "wolf" at the first sign that
credit is starting to control you.
Get help long before you get head
over-heels in trouble. The Exten
sion Service offers help in
budgeting and helping you work
out your finances. All you have to
do is call and set up an individual
confidence.
A sound plan for spending and
saving is an important step
towards successful money manage
ment. The plan can't guarantee
you more money, but it can in
crease your chances of having
more of the things you want and
need. A good spending plan can
help you live within your income,
cut down on impulse spending,
achieve financial goals, set
priorities, and make wiser choices

among the alternatives available.
In addition, you may gain con
fidence in handling financial af
fairs. To do these things, a money
management plan must be set up in
terms of your family. That's more
beneficial than trying to use a
budget created for an "average"
person or a "typical" family. So
consider setting up a spending
plan. It could help you get what
you want from the dollars
available.
If you shop by mail, you need to
be aware of your rights. For exam
ple, you should know that a mail
order company must ship mer
chandise as promised ? or at least
within thirty days of the time they
receive your order. Companies
that can't comply with this regula
tion must give you the choice of
waiting longer or of getting a full
refund. You don't have to accept a
"credit" for other merchandise.
After the second waiting period is
over, you may elect to wait longer.
If this isn't acceptable, the com
pany must cancel your order and
refund your money. Other ways
shoppers shopping by mail can
avoid disappointments are to read
a good description of what you're
ordering, find out if you can return
or exchange merchandise and see if
you can buy the same or a similar
item locally.

It is not too late for vegetables
Since 1933, a limited number of
vegetable varieties have had the
honor of being designated as All
America Selections (AAS).
These AAS have gone through
rigorous evaluation procedures at
60 official trial grounds across the
United States and Canada.
The consumer can be assured
each AAS variety is the best in its
class due to the side-by-side com
parisons of previously top-rated
varieties.
Vegetables are evaluated for
flavor, yield, appearance, texture,
disease resistance, production and
space efficiency, nutrition, and
novelty value.
Only two vegetables will be
designated as All-America Selec
tions winners for 1986: (1) okra
"Blondy" and (2) sweet corn F1

"How Sweet It Is (White)."
"Blondy" okra plants will grow
only about 3 feet high. The pods
will mature within about 48 days.
The pods are most tender when
harvested three inches long.
"Blondy" grows best when
planted in soils of at least 60 ?F.
Seeds can also be sown indoors for
transplant production.
"How Sweet ll Is (White)" is
the first white sweet corn to cap
ture an All-America Selections
Award. The ears are approximate
ly 8 inches long with two ears per
stalk. The maturity time will be in
the 74 day range. The holding
quality is good both on the stalk
and while stored. The taste should
remain fresh 7 to 14 days after
harvesting.
Seed in sufficient quantity
should be available for both(
varieties through local garden
centers and seed catalogs.
