Choice of Fabric ‘All
Important' For Re-
Upholstering
Re-upholstering a chair or
sofa may extend its life--but
there's more to selecting
appropriate upholstery fa-
bric than meets the eye.
Some of the prettiest
fabrics may be the worst
performers, and it's no ‘cost
cutter' to use fabrics
designed for garments or
draperies.
Select sturdy fabrics--those
that are tightly woven. Pull
on the fabric to be sure
yarns don't slip. All yams
used in the weave should be
about the same size to
reduce abrasion.
Beware of fabrics with
heavy latex or acrylic back-
ings. Only a thin coating for
reinforcement and stabiliz-
ing of yarns is necessary.
A heavy backing may be a
substitute for better fabrics.
Check the label for fiber
content--the blends using a
great percentage of man-
made fibers will usually be
stronger. Nylon and olefin
fibers are also highly stain
resistant.
Even in easy-care, stain
repellent fabrics, light colors
and solids will show soil
faster and require more
care. So select tweeds,
stripes, plaids, or other
patterns in deeper colors for
better wearing.
And don't forget plastics--
they're a good choice in a
room that gets a lot of living.
Plastics are available in
many design varieties and
colors. Some of the newer
ones "breathe”, making
them cooler and more
comfortable.
But avoid plastics that
aren’t fabric-backed--they
won't wear well. Also
plastics aren't indestructi-
ble--they can tear and some
household cleaners, pol-
ishes, and nail polish
remover will “eat through”
them.
For more information on
upholstery, plan now to
participate in the Upholstery
Workshop beginning Thurs-
day, May 3. The introduc-
tory ffcsson will begin at 7:30
p.m. Tn the Home Etoriorfiics
Room of the Archer City
High School.
The workshop is sponsored
by the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service and the
Archer County Family Living
Committee. Mrs. Joyce
Hornadv. Archer City Home-
making Teacher, and I will
teach the workshop.
Some say it is good luck
to own a moonstone.

Home Notes
Spring is not officially here
until the mesquites are in
full summer dress, but the
sight of large patches of
buffalo peas in full bloom,
provides a welcome herald
of spring.
These gorgeous purple
polka dot flowers which
blanket our highway right of
ways, are one of our area’s
own rarities. While there
are many varieties of the
legume, this particular one
has chosen our part of the
country as its permanent
home, probably because it
was eliminated by over-
grazing in the east and
south.
Except for height and
depth of color, the buffalo
pea resembles its cousin the
bluebonnet, which got into
politics and was elected
state flower. The bean
though is more of royal
lineage, as shown by its
purple robe which carpets
the rocky hillsides in north
Texas.
Naturalist Kathleen Zinn
reports "the plants form
clumps and make a nice
early blooming ground.co-
ver. The buffalo pea is a
harmless relative of the
notorious loco weed, a poi-
sonous plant, most species
oi which are found iarther
west of here. The locoweed
absorbs selenium or barium
from the soil, and these toxic
elements poison livestock
that eat the plants. Even
the nectar of the locoweed is
deadly. Happily the buffalo
bean has not unpleasant
effects, so enjoy its marve-
lous fragrance while the
blooms are at their peak.”
Thanks to the state high-
wav department, seeds of
the plants are sown on high
gravelly embankments from
a purple ground cover as far
east as Decatur.
Our favorite rancher tells
us that cattle seek out the
plant for grazing. It comes
up in late fall, hugs the
ground all winter, absorbing
every drop of moisture,
holding the soil in place and
adding nitrogen all the
while. A true Texas beauty.
Miss Hattie Key, 91, died
