Now that the rains have fin- ,

sun-baked North Carolina, it may
be time to start thinking in
terms of raincoats, galoshes and
umbrellas.
But shopping for new rain ap

particularly if you’re not ex
actly straight on w^at some of
the teams mean. Water repellant
and water proof are two terms
that are commonly used Inter
changeably. *

says that these ace two entirely
different terms and the mean
ings of each should be clarified.

fabric resistant to moisture. •
Some fabrics are permanently
water repellant, others are not.
When looking at water repel
lant garments read the -tag and
learn what you can about .the
particular fabric before buying.
Water proof is a term refer
ring to coating a fabric to pre
vent the passage of moisture or
air through it. But again It’s
smart to consult the tags care
fully before Investing.
In addition to telling whether
a fabric is water repellant or
water proof, these tmanufact
urers’ tags also offer other val
uable information; that can save
! the buyer a lot of headaches.
These tags should give the fi
ber content—in other words,
what is* the fabric made out of.
Usually they list the manufact
urer’s name or trade mark, the
color fastness of the fabric, its
resistance to perspiration, and
shrinkage. Any special finishes
will toe listed as well as instruct
ions for laundering or dry clean
ing.
Small Grains Will
Provide Fall Grazing
Small grains seeded now will
provide fall and winter grazing
for animals, Dr. G. K. Middleton,
small grain breeder for the N.
C. Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, tells feed-short Tar Heel
livestock fafmers.
One of the best of the Small
grain crops is rye, which will
give more pasturage than any
other small grain, particularly
on sandy soils. Middleton ad-,
vises immediate seeding of
Atoruzzi or Balbo ryes in order
to obtain maximum grazing.
Rye can be seeded alone at
the rate of six pecks per acre, or
in combination with 15 pounds
of crimson clover. If the cattle
man desires to add 15 pounds of
ryegrass, the amount of rye
should be reduced to four pecks.
Ryegrass provides a good turf,
but it becomes a pest when seed
ed on land in which small grain
occurs regularly in the rotation.
Barley is another small grain
that dairymen in the Piedmont
and mountains may prefer to
i seed. Two and one-half to three

bushels, wt(h or without crim
son clovei*. is recommended. The
addition of ryegrass should re
duce the amount of barley to
two bushels.
Oats produce less grazing In
the fall and winter than does
rye or barley and are susceptible
to blight disease. Early seeding
of wheat Is not advised because
of a serious Influx of Hessian
Uy. Some 400 to 500 pounds of
an 8-8-8- fertilizer should be
drilled In with any of the grains
seeded.

a year earlier.
