JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES
Compiled by County Office 0. S. C. Extension Service
Report! Due on Practices
Under AAA Program
Farmers in Oregon who have
completed their performance of
production practices for which
payment is made under the AAA
program are asked by the state
and county AAA officials to
make their reports Just as
promptly as possible. With more
than 80 per cent of Oregon farm
ers signed up under the AAA
this year, the task of checking
is a big one at best, therefore the
need for early reporting to avoid
last minute rush that couldn't
be handled.
Are You Embarrassed By
HOT FLASHES?
If you, like so many women, between
the ages of 38 and 62 suffer from
hot flashes, nervous tension Irri
tability, are a bit blue at times all
due to the functional middle age
period peculiar to women try Lydla
E. Fmkham's Vegetable Compound to
relieve such symptoms.
For almost a century thousands
upon thousands of women rich and
poor alike have reported remark
able benefits. Many wise women take
Plnkham's Compound regularly to
help build up resistance against such
annoying distress.
Lydla Pinkham's Compound helps
nature. It also has what Doctors c&U
a stomachic tonic effect. Follow label
directions. Worth trying!
LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S WS&
This year the honor system of
reporting is being used again,
which means that the farmer
brings in his own data rather
than having a supervisor visit
the farm to measure acreages
and check compliance. This
method has saved a lot of man
power and transportation costs.
County committees will make
only a few spot checks, especial
ly in connection with practices
that require prior approval such
as weed control, land clearing,
and pasture improvement.
The following is the informa
tion and evidence a farmer will
need to report to the county
AAA office:
1. The acreage of all crops
grown in 1944, whether eligible
for payment or not. 2. A list of
the amount and kind of soil
building practices performed. 3.
Receipts for any lime, phasphate.
land plaster, sulphur, or borax
applied during the program year.
4. Receipts for seed used in re
seeding pastures, showing kinds
and amounts. 5 Receipts for any
chemicals used In weed control.
6. Figures on acreage and pro
duction of wheat grown.
If all of this information is
available it shouldn't take more
than 15 minutes to complete the
report.

able work If the leaves are prop
erly utilized. As decaying leaves
are rich in plant food, they are
excellent for use on garden soils
or as a mulch to be placed over
bulb plantings or around peren
nial flowers and shrubs.
The simplest method of hand
ling leaves is to apply them
directly to the soil. If it is a cul
tivated area, they should be
worked lightly into the soil to
assist in decal and prevent blow
ing. If they are to be used as a
mulch, they can Just be scattered
around the plants and thorough
ly wet to prevent blowing.
The addition of a pound of am
monium sulfate to a 20 x 20-foot
square will assist in decay and
will also promote more plant
growth next spring.
Another way of handling the
leaves is to turn them into com
post. The compost pile is made
by covering a small area with a
layer of leaves one foot deep.
Over this layer sprinkle one
fourth pound each of ammonium
sulfate, superphosphate and
lime, wet thoroughly and add
one or two inches of manure or
dirt. Repeat with additional lay
ers. After a period of two
months the compost should be
turned over. This assists rapid
rotting, but is not absolutely es
sential. For further details a bulletin
on composts may be obtained
from this office on request.

Corporal Major
Made Sergeant
Amid Confusion
Fort Lewis, Wash., Oct. 26
(U.R) A major has been promot
ed to sergeant and now Fort
Lewis has a Sergeant Major who
isn a sergeant major.
It all began when the Fort
Lewis public relations office an
nounced the promotion of Cpl.
Robert J. Major, Sioux City, la.,
to the rank of sergeant.
Now the score reads: Sgt. Ma
jor is a sergeant, not a sergeant
major; M-Sgt. Dale Burgess is a
sergeant major, but he isn't ser
geant major; and general confu
sion is terrific.
