Keep your purpose in mind
when you buy. Cheddar or Am-
erican cheese is best for cook-

menbert. Cream, and Parmesan
can also be used in a variety
of ways.
Cheese is packed with good
nutrition. Made from cows milk,
it has essentially the same food
elements as milk. It is an inex-

Sometimes, the benefits from
winter cover crops are not un-
derstood. Farmers and ranchers
should keep in mind that the
main purpose of cover crops is
to improve the soil. Legumes
do a very good job. Hubam -clov-
er, vetch and Austrian winter
peas are some of the legumes
adapted to this area. These le-
gumes increase water penetra-
tion. hold the soil during the
winter months and increase or-
ganic matter which in turn in-
crease watr holding capacity.
When oats or other small
grain are planted with legumes,
they are usually used for graz-
ing. Legumes can be grazed to a
certain extent and still improve
soils. They should haw a good
growth before grazing is start-
ed and never grazed too close.
,The; amount of soil improve-
ment from a cover crop depends
largely ontheroot system. The
root system is controlled by the
amount of top growth the plant
is'al lowed to make.
Some legumes make quicker
growth than others and some
are1 better for different purposes.
Austrian winter peas and vetch
usually make enough growth so
that the land can be used in the
spring for row crops. Hubam
clover should be used on pas-
tures or land that is not to be

dissolve a cup of commercial
fertilizer, either 8-8-8 or 5-10-5,
in water and sprinkle the solu-
tion over the layer of leaves.
Keep adding these alternate lay-
ers until the pile reaches the
desired height. Leave the top
layer somewhat saucer shaped
as an aid for holding' water on
the leaves. Cover the pile with
a shallow layer of soil.
Decomposition of the leaves
will ’be speeded up if the ma-
terial is turned and water added
at regular intervals. In areas
where the soils are acid, add a
cup of lime to the fertilizer.

Referendum Set
For December 11
The annual grower referendum

it may be easier to burn theta
but the extra time required to
put them in a. compost pile will
return big dividends. Use the
compost next year to increase
the organic matter in the soil or
for mulching' flowers,' shrubs or
vegetables. Organic matter in
creases the soil's ability to hold
water and plant nutrients and
makes the soil easier to work.
Mulches are valuable for con-
trolling soil temperature and
conserving moisture.
Making a cornpost pile is an
easy operation: Serap lumber or
a few feet of net wire and four
cotton.
Grimes County farmers ap--
proved the election last year by
an overwhelming majority. It Is
almost Imperative that they do
the same this year. The refer:
endum determines the price and
amount a farmer can sell under
the support price. The support
rates would be set between 79
to 90 per cent of parity under the
flexible price support system.
. ASC rural committee will hold
the elections in the 11 commun-
ities. The polls will be open
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Prior to the election,' cotton
allotments for next year for he
individual farms will be sent
out through the mail. ‘
Planting allotments for Texas
have been, increased by 136,610
acres over the 1956 allotments by
the Agriculture Department.
