There are several reasons: Soil analyais now may point to a need (or lime application. It takes several months for lime correction to take effect, and prepartion now will benefit your next crop. In years of low rainfall nitrogen and potash may be retained in the aoU. You may not need to apply as much aa in previous years. Some yeara bring heavy spring rains. Spreading of lime and other nutrienta may possibly be delayed. Do it now. Gardeners are not as busy as they were. There's time to do a better job of soil preparation. Merchants aren't as busy now. They ire prepared to spend more time personally blending your fer tilizer now than at seed-selling time. ?It is illegal to kill moles with poison in some states, such as North Carolina. You have two choices. Use a spear-type mole trap avaiable at hardware stores and nurseries. The other choice is using an insecticide to kill the insects moles eat. State horticulturists suggest leaving a mole trap in place (or two to three days, then move to another runway. ?Buy seasoned hardwood (or your fireplace or stove.

Use credit cards only for "cash credit." Extension News north Carolina AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE By Poig? j Underwood TO IMPLEMENT THESE IDEAS 1. Shaping attitudes, goals and behavior to assure financial success requires determination and self discipline to act accordingly. Involve the family ? all members who spend money ? and get each member committed to using money to get the most with the least risks. Reserve a portion of income for the future and plan to live on what remains. 2. Examine and control gift buying and holiday spending practices. Balance spending with the current income available for spending. Make no bills for holiday spending that must be paid from next year's in come. Take time to make or select meaningful but low cost gifts that are given in a spirit of love and genuine concern. Make and give a "creative cer tificate" or use time and talent for a service that is to be delivered at a future date ? for example: spring lawn care, home repair, garden tilling, baby sitting, altering clothes, etc. 3. Use credit cards only for "cash credit." Cash credit is paying the bill According to a recent survey, most people think that hypertension can be cured. The fact is hyperten sion (also known as high blood pressure), cannot be cured, but it can be con trolled. People may think it is cured when medication has brought their blood pres sure under control. Howev er, management of hyper tension must be a lifelong endeavor and when the di sease is brought under con trol, treatment must be con tinued daily to keep it that way. when due, no carry-over of any balance due on which finance charges must be paid. Plan just how much the credit card can be use for cash credit then put it away until next year. Don't mortgage next year's income with your credit cards. To ease the pain of limiting credit card use to cash credit, think about how much less you are paying for what you buy ? 18 percent annual rate. See Us For Your Needs... B&R Tractor, Inc.
