growth next spring. Proper planting is important, and be sure to dig a hole twice as wide and six inches deeper than the plant’s root system. You do not have to remove burlap from balled-in plants, just loosen it at the top. However, remove plastic wrappings. Add good soil, three parts top soil and one part peat moss plus one and a half to two pounds of 10-8-6 fertilizer per 100 square feet of shrub bed. But don’t pack it around the new plant with your feet since you may break the roots. Settle the soil with water instead. After planting, water the evergreens well and continue to water them into the winter. When you water the newly transplanted shrub, mulch the soil surface with two or more inches of peat moss to hold the moisture. Do not trim your evergreens when you plant in the fall since you probably will force soft growth which winter kill quite easily. ' The proper care now for strawberry beds will mean a bigger and better strawberry crop next year. Fertilizing now is important since flower buds determine next year's crop. Fertilizer will increase the number of buds, and yield Five pounds of 5-20-20 fertilizer per 100 feet of row would be quite beneficial. If you want to use your old strawberry bed again next year, renovate it immediately. Mow oft the plants at a one and a half inch height, using your rotary lawn mower, but be sure you don't harm the corms. Then rae rake off the old foliage and burn it. Narrow the width of each row from eight to ten inches and thin the remaining plants in the rows to eight inches apart, and then apply tlie fertilizer. Strawberry plants can use an inch of water a week, so water them when it’s dry.

FALL STYLES IN MEN’S SLACKS: This fall’s styles in slacks for men feature adjustable waistbands fitted closer to the natural waistlin changes in decorative derail -nd in the kino ot placement of pocK.*ie. Fall styles are trim but not tij’ht in both pleatless and singleplaat styles, reports Mrs. Bonnita Farmer, clothing specialist at Purdue University. The amount of taper will depend upon an individual’s build and preferences. j There are fabrics and fibers to please each person’s taste. Cotton is a favorite in chino and whipcord fabrics. Acrylic fibers give warmth without weight and are often blended with wool, have builtrin ease of and resilience. Wool slacks, which may be permanently creased, provide both warmth and resilience. In general, the specialist says, a fabric with a firm weave Its shape better holds a press longer and is more desirable than a fabric with a loose weave. If you want to reduce upkeep costs, choose mixtures rather than plain colors, dark colors rather than light. Fabrics finishes to improve wear and decrease care include mothproofing for wools, water and soil repellency for cotton. To look well, slacks should fit smoothly and easily about the waist and hips, select slacks that hang straight from the waist and do not sag in the seat, knees or along the length of the leg. Cuffed or cuffless, slack legs should barely brush the shoe tops. Do not select slacks that are cut so full as to appear sloppy or interfere with easy movements, cautions the specialist. Signs of quality construction include seams that arc wide and finished with stitching or seam taper generous pockets made of closely woven fabric stitches twice with enclosed edges; and securly sewn buttons and belts loops. QUICKIES; Quality sweet corn has bright green, snug husks, dark brown silk, even rows of kernels, no worm damage, according to the Purdue University product marketing specialist. Wash your swim suit in warm water and mild detergent occasionally to counteract the effects of chemicals used in pools, suggest clothing specialists at Purdue University. Early fall is a good time to safety check your heating system, reminds the Purdue University housing specialist. Inspect your furnace every year for worn parts and possible safety hazards. Fibers which absorb body moisture. and fabrics which are loosely woven, are more comfortable ein hot weather. Happily, these fibers and fabrics are machine washable observe home management specialists at Purdue. Buying watermelon? Lxiok for good red color, firm and succulent flesh, dark brown or black seeds and a yellowish unde: - side. suggests the Purdue University produce marketing specialist.

Attractive Bar Top If you want to make a real attractive bar top, use pre-finished flooring which is ' available In a number of patterns from pegged ranch to formal parquet. This makes the chore of finishing and polishing easy. Varnishing Tip If your varnish refuses to flow properly, you can thin it by setting the can in a pan of warm water which will soon give it a nice workable consistency. Never place it on the stove! And don’t try thinning varnish with turpentine, since this destroys Its gloss. Finger Protection Those sore fingers and calluses that often come from much kniting can be avoided if you’ll smear your “pinkies" with colorless fingernail polish. This will protect the fingers, and it can be wiped off later very easily with polish remover. Citrus fruit stains on clothing are usually invisible after they dry, but turn yellow when washed in hot water. Purdue home management specialists advise sponging a lemonade or orange juice spot immediately with cold water. Wrap several layers of newspaper around hot or cold picnic foods to insulate them for short periods of time, suggest food specialists. Wax. varnish or paint wooden outdoor furniture to protect it from the weather, suggests home furnishings specialists. Even a washing will remove the dull film formed by dust and rain. When hard-cooked eggs are included in the picnic menu, keep them in the shell until served, suggest Purdue University food specialists. Carry cooked and chilled eggs to the picnic site in the original carton. If you're taking a vacation trip with small children in the car. hang a shoe bag over the back of the front heat, suggest Purdue University home management specialists. Use the shoe bag pockets for small toys and cleanup equipment. Rest up tor your vacation! Since fatigue affects your entire driving ability, be well rested before driving any distance, advises the safetv soecialist at Purdue.

Moisture proof, it will keep the dampness out of the salt, permitting it to flow freely.

Using the old shade as a patern, hem the fabric at the sides, and place'a large hem at the bottom for the slat. Attach to the roller with tacks or staples, and you’ve added an attractive decorating touch to your rooms.
