Hedges can provide both beauty and privacy for your yard. Th<y can be used for boundaries, especially in the back yard, or they can be used to divide areas within your yard, such as the patio and vegetable garden. Two of the best types of hedges are Amor privet and Japanese barberry. Both are fast growing and inexpensive. Another is Winged enonymous or Buringbush. Its leaves are bright green in the summer and a striking rose-pink in the fall. Hicks yew and Canadian hemlock are good to stay green in winter, but there are many others that may serve your needs. Fall is the best time to plant. You will find it best to space most hedge plants lt4 to 3 feet apart in single rows. Dig a trench and add three parts topsoil and one part peat moss. Mix in two to three pounds of 12-12-12 fertilizer for every 100 feet of hedge. Next, net the plants In the trench at the same level they grew before, add the soli and settle plants with water. Do not tramp the soil with your feet. Efficient Harvest The efficient soybean harvest hinges on keeping shatter losses from the cutterbar and reel to a minimum. Maintenance and adjustment, plus skilled operation of the combine, will cut these losses. Reel adjustments include keeping the reel center line from six to twelve Inches in front of the cutterbar and regulating the height of the reel bats so they penetrate into the standing crop a minimum distance while still maintaining control of the crop feeding over the cutterbar. The operator should keep the forward speed of the combine down so the reel bet travels about one and a quarter times faster than ground speed. A major consideration in reducing cutterbar losses is keeping the cutterbar above the ground and maintain a pre-set tieijht may increase grain tank yields by five per cent on rough term in and in dense weed growth. These devices permit a ■ higher ground o 0 I Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee a ; o The Drawing Board If your drawing board has become pitted with thumbtack holes, here is one method of renewing the surface. Dip round wooden toothpicks in glue, and force' them into the tack holos. When the gule has set. break off the toothpicks and sand flush with the surface of the board. An over-all sanding will remove minor irregularities in the Wood, as well as smooth the picks. Wallboard Filler A hard-drying filler for cracks where wallboard or hard-pressed panels join can be made wfth two parts of soft paste while lead (In oil), three parts of Spanish whiting. one part of plaster of paris. If too stiff, ‘add boiled linseed oil n little at a time. Paint the cracks first and apply the filler with a broad putty knife. Smooth off evenly, then let dry, and sandpaper lightly (or a nice finish. Efficient Sprinkler When a rubber garden hose has acquired too many holes for use. convert it into a convenient sprinkler for watering grass or garden. If there are not enough holes, more can be easily punched into it Then just lay this on the ground, and turn on the water. Biscuit Baking When baking biscuits, buttermilk is a good substitute for sweet milk.

How should a person introduce his half-brother and halfsister? A. If he wishes to be In best taste, he will introduce them simply as "My brother” and "My sister." Q. Am I supposed to write a thank-you note to the wife of my husband's employer who recently entertained us at a dinner party our home as repayment? ou rhome as repayment? A. The thank-you note is not necessary, but certainly it is not Improper. Nor is it necessary for you to extend them an invitation to your home — unless they continue to invi e you to their home and you become good friends — then you might return their hospitality. Q. My wife and my widowed mother haye the same name — Mrs. StephCTi L. Leigh. How can they be distinguished socially and in their correspondence? A. Your mother should have "Sr.” after her name. Q. I have Just received an invitation to a shower on a girl whom I scarcely know. Am 1 really obligated to attend or to send a gift? A. You are obligated neither to attend nor to send a gift. The person who issued your invitation failed to take into consideration the fact that showers are only for CLOSE and INTIMATE friends of the bride. Q Must a bride's father stand in the receiving line at her wedding reception? , A. This is optional. Die father may "receive,” if he wishes, or mingle with the guests. Q. What difference, if any, is there between the wording of a church wedding invitation and a house wedding invitation? A The only difference is that in the house wedding a home address takes the place of the name of the church and, since space is usually at “R.s.v.p." is usually added. Q. How does one properly reach for a slice of bread at the dinner table, with the hand or with the fork? A. By all means, use your fingers, being careful to touch only the slice you are taking. Never, never use your fork to spear bread or any other morsel from a common serving dish, Q. When refilling the water glasses on the dinner table, should they be lifted or left on the table while pouring the water? A. l,eft on the table. Q. Is it considered in good taste to mix jewelry —for instance, to wear gold earrings and a pearl necklace? A. This is quite all right. Not everyone can hope to have all her jewelry matching.
