A yard demonstration was held at
the home of Mrs. Aug. Orts, yard de-
monstrator of the Paig Women's
Home Demonstration Club on Tues-
day afternoon, February 6, at 2
o'clock.
"It is more important to have a
well prepared bed that is pulverized
12 to 18 inches deep at the time the
shrubs are planted than it is to ap-
ply fertilizer. Plant food can be
added any time," said Dessie Hoer-
ster, County Home Demonstration A-
gent.
The foundation plantings should be
planted irregular and of varying
height.
Those present were Misses Hoerster
Ellen Orts, and Mesdames Aug. Orts,
Alebrt Orts, Alfred Foerstei, Alex
Fuchs and Mr. Aug. Orts, William
Orts, Earl Orts, Alfred Orts and Die-
trich Orts.
Determined to have adequate stor-
age space for her clothing, Edna
Fuchs, wardrobe demonstrator of the
Paige girl's 4-H club succeeded in
getting her father and her brother to
use the lumber of an old wardrobe so
that both she and her mother now
have ample storage spaces for their
dresses, folded garments, hats, and
quilts.
The closet is six feet long, twenty-
four inches wide, and reaches all the
way to the ceiling. It is equipped with
a shelf for hats, two shoe racks, shel-
ves on each side of the closet for the
folded garments, and a stocking bag.
Edna plans to add a rod on which
to hang clothes and another stocking
bag.

Native shrubs are being used in
the foundation planting this year by
Mrs. G. Louis Petty, yard demonstra-
tor of the Farm Lake Women's Home
Demonstration Club which will be
supplemented next year with rooted
cultivated shrubs from her own cut-
ting bed started this year.
Yupons and coral berries have been
arranged in irregular lines in well
pn pared beds along the front founda-
tion of he house.
Mr. Petty has made a ditch around
the outside of the fence to keep the
yard from washing out and has le-
veled the yard by filling in the wash-
ed out places.
Their cutting bed contains 190 cut-
tings including wax leaf ligustrum,
amoor privet, rose, salt cedar, yellow
jasmine, crepe myrtle.
Mr. Petty plans to sod the lawn
with bermuda grass, screen the cis-
tern with retama, (a native shrub) to
• hide 'ts view, to ball and burlap ad-
ditional yupons for the yard planting,
and to underpin the house with rocks.
Forty six amoor privet shrubs root
1 .-'d in her own cutting bed, made it
possible for Mrs. Aug. Orts, yard
demonstrator of the Paige women's
home demonstration club to 'tart her
screen planting used to hide unsight
ly views in addition to starting her
foundation planting.
Mrs. Orts has used a total of one-
.hundred shrubs around the foundation
i of the house and to screen unsight-
ilv views. Included in her planting
J are wax-leaf ligustrunis, Baker ar-
■ bor-vitae, creeping juniper, yellow

Mr. and Mrs. Orts have also started
a rose garden, built a sanitary pit
type toilet, provided a cutting bed.

pattern on material evenly, fasten
with pins perpendicular to the edge.
Plan garment carefully and econemi-

ment goes for as a good fit, accord-
ing to Miss Hoerster. We also dis-
