Mowing Eliminate
Weeds, Sprouts
From Pastures
COLLEGE STATION, May 19-
Mowing helps eliminate weeds,
sprouts, bushes and vines from pas-
tures and favors their replacement
by- desirable grasses.
It also tends to keep grasses in
a tender, growing condition, mak-
ing them more palatable and nutri-
tious to grazing animals.
Mowing should start when the
most prominent weeds commence
to bloom-before they have a chance
to produce a seed crop, says E. M
Trew, extension pasture specialist
who stresses the importance of re-
gular mowing in pasture manage-
ment.
Eastern bitterweeds, a common
pest in bermuda grass pastures,
needs early and repeated mowings
to prevent them from making seed
Set the mower hign for the first
clipping and then lower for sub-
sequent mowings. Trew recom-
mends.
Fall blooming weeds are weak-
ened by earlier mowings, but fall
cuttings are added insurance
against production of seed.
Mowing alone, however, does not
build good pasture, Trew notes.
The soil must be sufficiently fer-
tile to make good yields from grass
and or legumes either growing na-
tui.iiiy ur from seeding*. He recom-
mends pasture fertilization.
In studies by the Angleton Agri-
culture Experiment Station, ber-
muda grass when mowed produc-
ed twice the forage and four times
as much total protein and phospho-
rous as did unmowed bermuda.
‘Tall growing bunch grasses often
’are injured by mowing. The low
growing grasses tend to form a
sod, and respond best to mowing.
Are you keeping house as ef-
ficiently as you should to save
your time and energies? Here are
some ti; s which will help make
you a better homemaker:
Dust on walls hangs downward
so when you clean them, brusli
in an upward motion to prevent
smearing and streaking. If the
iwalls are very dirty, wrap cheese-
cloth around the wall brush, and
change frequently until the job is
finished.

Tuneup Fans Now
For Silent Gentle
Summer Comfort
COLLEGE STATION, May 19—
An electric fan that roars like a jet
plane or shakes the house with
vibration can be "tuned up" to
spend silent gentle breezes as warm
weather arrives.
Pouring oil on troubled fans is
not the whole cure. Manufacturer’s
directions will show correct oiling.
Ordinarily, fans need lubricating
only once a year. If the fan is run
a great deal, it may need oil more
frequently. However, care must be
taken not to over-oil and soak the
insulation in the motor as this will
damage the motor, warns Mrs.
Bernice Claytor, home management
specialist for the Texas Agricul-
tural Extension Service.
A loose screw may cause vib- i
rations. Dirt on the blades will
cause the blade to be unbalanced, i
If the blades are soiled with oily
grease, clean them with a damp
soapy cloth or a cloth dipped in I
ket uaelie oil. Guarus and cuvet ut
the motor should be cleaned too. j
Frayed or damaged cords should
be replaced or recalled. i
If the fan fails to start, it may I
