It’s time to get your garden started Notes
The arrival of March is a
good time to get started. Home
gardeners usually start their
g a rd e n in g a c tiv itie s by
reaching for a garden vegetable
seed catalog.
Deciding what will be grown
is the first step in any gardening
plan, and a seed catalog is an
excellent source of informa
tion.
C haracteristics of soils,
difference in tem p eratu re,
length of growing season and
amoung of rainfall vary from
area to area. Because of this,
choosing appropriate vegetable
varieties for a given area is
crucial. C ertain types of
vegetable plantings that do well
in one area may do poorly in
another.
A seed catalog will tell the
gardener whether a particular
vegetable variety is disease-
resistant and if the variety is
better suited to spring planting
or fall planting.
Many catalogs also contain
valuable growing hints and
other good ideas along with the
vegetable listings.
Check with a local gardening
Cash, bread, plastic money,
checks; there are many names
for the money that has to be
spent daily to live. Amounts of
money available are shrinking,
ind on top of that a dollar is
not worth what it used to be!
Although the outlook is not
good now and everyone will
have to “ tighten up on
spending,” there are still ways
to spend money wisely and to
plan for and afford necessities
and a few luxuries.

containers until you have a
good supply, then it’s time to
make soup.
For most soups, making
what’s called stock is the first
step. For a meat stock, use
inexpensive cuts of meat as well
as some cracked bones for
flavor and body. Put the meat
and bones in cold water and
bring the mixture slowly to a
boil. After simmering, remove
the scum from the top. Then
add your leftover vegetables,
noodles or rice, and season.
For every quart of water use
about one and one quarter
pound of lean meat, one-half
pound of bones, two cups ot
vegetables, and salt to taste.
And if you’re cooking for
only one or two, fix a big kettle
of soup anyway and freeze part
of it for later.

Control of beef lice
Cattle owners should check
th e ir liv e s to c k fo r lice
infestations. Cattle rubbing on
objects, are a sure indication o f
the presence of lice. Lice cause
intense irritation and loss of
condition. The hair may be
rough, thin and lack luster; and
scabs may be evident. Lice are
most plentiful around the root
of the tail, on the inside of the
things over the ankle region
and along the neck and
shoulders.
Because of the close contact
of cattle during the winter
m onths, it is practically*
impossible to keep them from
becoming infested with lice.
For effective control, all
cattle should be treated and it
may take up to two treatments
to reduce lice population. A
number of pour-on insecticides
are available in area feed stores
and are easy to use.
