Some years a^o I wrote a;:oul
thul'a. A short tim^ ag<j I had
'.lother recjuest so ain icdrosh-
ing lyour memory.
Chufa behjngjj to an (‘nor-,
mous genus iCyperusi wish about'
(>00 species, only t)ir(‘e (j1 wh.eh
are of any gardtm interest, and
chufa is one of them.
Chufa (Cyi'erus esL*ul(‘ntus i (
is ciften referivd to as eartliniit;
and earth almond. 'I’he tubtu's^
are edible wh<*n dry and are also
liked by chickens and hogs. It
is propagated by planting the l.t-
lle tubers or chufus in the spring.
Many of my readers in (*asl(‘rn
Carolina may be familkir with
chufa and its uses.
I-f you are having trouble c(jn-
trolling mildew and 'black sp(d
on roses try Benlate. It will con
trol both fungus diseases. Don't
expect control of any insects and
diseases on roses, or other fruit,'
vegetable and ornam(‘ntal plants
unless you follow a well planned j
and regular spray program. Justi
spraiying or '(lusting '’e\-ery now;
and then” is a wast<* of time and
materials. j
This is a good lim(* to root'
cuttings of a/’aleas, hoII:'*s. came-;
lli'as and many oth<'r broadleaf
evergreens. Mak<' ciUttings from
new growth as it h<‘gins to rna-;
ture. The cuttings should ■' e from j
4-6 inches long. As you make the|
cutting, keep thorn moist by!
placing them in a damp doth un-'
til they are planted. R(‘movo he'
leaves fnjm th(' lower one-third
of each cutting. Now they re
,ivady to he placed {stuck)3 in the
I rooting medium.
I For, rooting you may use any
is’jitabU* contaiiK'i’ with good bot
tom dra.nage. Coarse, clean
iconciot<M sand is good and may
be used alone. If y(ju wish, you
('an j.se eipi.d puts iby volumei
of sand perlite and peat. Perhaps
you have youi own per formula. I
Treating tlu* hase of tho cut
tings with a growl h-'producing
hormone is sometimes helpful.
Don’t crowd the cuttings too
miuh vvh(m placing them in the
rooting medium. Firm the mix
ture .v(dl around the base uf the
cuttings and water thoroughly |
when you have finished. j
!
Place the container where the
cuttings will 'he protected from'
dir(‘ct sun. Dappled shade pro-!
vidf‘d by pine tree's is good. Keep|
inoisi at all times but not tooi
yet as you may encourage damp
ing-off fungus trouble.
.Seme like to make a ‘‘coverc'd
wagon” witli jdastic to pla?e over
the container. This m'ly he d'* .
rather easily and will hel]) con
serve moisture. Th<? cult ngs
should root in about six weeks.
They should now tiansplanUMj
using jx'at iJiffy) pots.

I Best Steer
To Be Bought
■ Rcbert C. Bainett, chairman of
the agricultural committee of the
I Shelby Chamber of Commerce
I has announced thiai the agricul
tural committee will purchase
the best steer (Offered for sale at
1 the Cleveland county fa.r this
year for 00 cents a pound.
Each s-tc'or (whibitor in the
junior and open show may parti
cipate in this contest. The rules
are is follows: All steers must
be weighed as they enter the
fa rgrounds. Eacii exhimitor must
sign a statement indicating he
will or will not sell his steer for,
C;) cents a paun I. Only those
signing to sell will bo eiigible in
this .special competition. Selecton
of s'eer to be purchased will be
made after the regular judging in
the open and junior shows have
been compietixi. All steers in
open and junior shows will be
placed in a 1, 2, 3, 4. and 5 order,
regardless of whether they are
offered for sale or not.
Grand champions would he de
termined by the official ' re. If
a grand champion ' in junior
and open showr . : c offered for
sale, the judge would pick the
Phesl of th(? two. If one grand
champion is ciffered for sale and
the other grind champ on is not,
I the first gran 1 champion wuukl
' comp(‘lo with the second anim.il
inimal in the other show. Should
neither grand champ on be offer-
ered for sale the judge would go
to the first steer in each show
offei'od for sale to decide the!
liest of the Kva. The judge would I
not know which steers were ciffer-l
ed for sale until all placings have
btH'n made in the regular shows.
After purchasing the steer, the
agricultural committee will give
it to one of the visitors to the
'dcvelcnd county fa r. Each vis
itor to the fair will lx* allowed to
register one time each day for
the steer. The First Citizens

After attending a series of she added,
workshops on making draperies,
cornices, lambriquins and va- MEN'S WEAR
lances, Mrs. Martha Joy, Reids-
ville, Rt. 3, set up a window de
corations sh(vD.
Business is good. The homema
ker has more work than she can
nandie, ooserves Mrs. Zadie
Jackson, home economics exten
sion agent, Rockingham County.
In a.KUUon, Mrs. Joy helps
others .n her community solve
their window pio..-^.ns.
“I help my neighbors make
their own draperies if they wish,”
Mrs. Joy acknowledged, “but
many i cople would rather have
me make the window treatments
for them.”
Learning how to make a man’s
.tacket from knit fat ric captured
I the interest of Mrs. Jennifer Len-
noii cl Uelco.
‘T’m glad I learned how to
^ ^ . make window treatments through
130 South Post Road Shelby, i E-xitois un - sponsoroa workshops
In fact, she became so inter
ested in the project she was the
itirst workshop participant to fi
nish.
But that wasn’t enough. She
went hack to the s'tore and bought
enough fabric to make her hus
band a pair of pants to match
the jacket.
“If I can make a jacket,” she
told Ann B-Ibo, assistant, home
economics agent, Colum'bus Coun
ty, ‘T (’an surely make a pair of
pants.”

and ended up modeling her out

OUT WASTE
The sharply higher cost of live
stock feed has placed a premium
on reducing feed wastage c'l
'North Carolina farms. North
Carolina State Un versity exten
sion swine specialists point out
that a farmer who keeps 1,003
head of hogs on feed uses around
600 tons of feed a year. At tlie
current high cost of protein, ho
could waste $3,000 a yea r b/
feeding only 1 per cent too much
protein.
ALLERGENS ARE AN
AIRBORNE MENACE
For many people with allergies, just the
thought of the outdoors can bring on a feeling
of dread. Airborne pollen can mean hours of
suffering. To reduce exposure to allergens here
are a few helpful hints.
Humid weather and evenings are usually
a more comfortable time as a great many
plants discharge their pollen in the morning
and on dry days. Avoid wash that is hung
outside as damp material will trap pollens.
Outside pets will often carry pollen in their
coats. If, in spite of all precautions, an aller>
gic reaction occurs, remember that there are
numerous medicines available that can offer
relief.
