Green Lawns For Winter
If you’d like to see your lawn
stay green all through the winter,
try planting some of the Iralian
rye grass.
This is the same rye grass that
is grown for winter stock pasture,
and it may be planted with Ber-
muda or any grass that keeps your
lawn green in the summer. Just
cut the lawn very closely and sow
the rye grass, using one pound of
seed for each 1,000 square feet of
lawn. Water immediately after
planting, so the seeds will sprout
and set in place. The grass stays
green all winter and begins to die
out just about the time the Ber-
muda comes up in the spring.
Some care should be given to the
time of planting. If you live in
South Texas, two weeks to a month
after October 1 is a good planting
time.
It will be necessary to plant new
rye grass each fall, since it won’t
produce seed until it reaches a
height of about 18 inches, and you’ll
want to keep it mowed. However,
the grass will certainly improve the
landscape during the winter, es-
pecially where you have a few
evergreen trees.
Seed may be obtained from most
any feed store, and many nurseries
now also handle it.
great deal in the past, but it often
causes trouble by caking in the
grain drill.
Loose smut of wheat, which you
can detect by looking for the empty
black stalks it causes, can only be
controlled by a hot water treat-
ment which is hard to handle prop-
erly. Best method is to get your
seed from growers who do not have
loose smut in their fields.
Remember that grain smuts cause
losses by reducing grain yields and
by dockage on the market. Treat-
ing the seed you plant is good in-
surance against these losses.
Grain Smut Treatment
Planting time for winter grain
crops will soon be here. Get your
seed now and treat it chemically
against losses from smut, seed rots,
and seedling blights.
Stomach Worm Treatment
During this month and next is a
good time to repeat the treatment
for stomach worms in your calf
crop for this year.
Phenothiazine is the mosts effi-
cient treatment in most cases. You
may give it to calves either as a
drench or in capsules, but the
drench is easier to give. The dose
is ten to twelve grams of powder
for each 100 pounds of the ani-
mals live weight. However, don’t
give more than 60 grams to any
animal, regardless of its- weight.
To weak, anemic calves, give only
half a dose, and repeat the treat-
; ment in seven to ten days. Don’t
starve the calves before or after
treatment.
This treatment, repeated now,
will enable your calves to go
through the winter free of stom-
ach worms. Remember the name of
the drench—phenothiazine—and if
you want more information on
drenching, see your county agri-
cultural agent. He’ll be able to
Well, it’s easy to fireproof any
cotton fabric that won’t be hurt by
dipping in a solution of borax and
boric acid water. Mrs. Bernice
Claytor, specialist in home manage-
ment for the Texas Extension Serv-
ice offers this simple recipe:
Make a solution of seven ounces
of borax, three ounces of boric acid,
and two quarts of hot water. . . .
Remember . . . that’s seven ounces
of borax, three ounces of boric acid,
and two quarts of hot water. Keep
stirring until the water looks clear.
' Next, dip the article you want to
fireproof into the solution . . . just
as though you were rinsing it in
water. Wring it out, hang it up to
dry, and press in the usual way with
a warm iron.
That’s all there is to it. . . . Re-
member, though, you need to re-
dip articles every time they’re
laundered. . . . And the curtains,
towels, or clothes you’ve fireproof-
ed must be dry when you dip them
. . . otherwise the solution would
be diluted and less effective.
Mrs. Claytor says you can fire-
proof such things as curtains for
the kitchen, a cotton rug which lies
in front of the living room fire-
place . . . cloth pot lifters, ironing
board covers, and the like. Or you

Experiments and many demon-
strations have shown that it in-
deed pays to grow and turn under
legumes. In the eastern half of
Texas, legumes have increased cot-
ton yields from 50 to 100 pounds
of lint per acre, and has improved
other crop yields in the same man-
ner. Since winter legume planting

Stinking smut, is the most ser-, a copy of Extension cir_
ious wheat disease. The smut spores 999 rel,om_
on the seed germinate at the same
time the wheat does and at head-
ing time the smut forms masses of
spores in the rain heads where
wheat kernels should be. You can
often detect the smut through the
foul odor it gives off. The disease
does not destroy the chaff, so it
may sometimes be hard to notice.
Oats and barley are often affect-
ed by loose smut which is easily
noticed by the black barren stalks
in the field.
To control these winter grain
smuts, except loose wheat smut,
treat each bushel of seed with one
half ounce of New Improved Cere-
san. Copper carbonate was used a
cular No. 222, which gives recom-
mendations on stomach worm
treatment.

Q. Can creditors make claims on
a beneficiary of a National Service
Life Insurance policy?
A. Payments of insurance to a
beneficiary are exempt from the
claims of creditors of the insured
or creditors of the beneficiary, and
are not liable to attachment levy,
or seizure, either before or after
receipt by the beneficiary. How-
ever, this exemption does not ap-
ply against the United States.
Q. What is the “National Service
Life Insurance Fund?”
A. National Service Life Insur-
ance is mutual insurance. All prem-
iums paid on this insurance and all
interest earned thereon are deposit-
ed in a separate trust fund in the
U. S. Treasury, designated as the
“National Service Life Insurance
Fund.” The Government derives no
profit from its administration and
acts in the capacity of trustee of
the fund for the sole benefit of
the policyholders and their bene-
ficiaries.
