Hefft Borne To Rest Her Ancestors Were Early Settlers Here (Contributed) The busy world is hushed for an- other member of our community. Mrs. B. R. Hefft died during the evening of Good Friday, April 19, 1946. She was a worthy descend- ant of those who made our coun- try great. Daughter of Joseph and Mary Shaver, who themselves were preceded by several generations in the Back Mountain district, she re- tained throughout her life those qualities of mind which were hand- ed down to her—courage, justice, truth, love, together with the abil- ity to share them with a host of friends. She, therefore, gave com- fort to many and the recognition was reflected in the faithful atten- tion and care given by those friends during her last illness. ‘ The influence of the wisdom which she possessed is great. Her estate is far beyond the realms of material accounting. » Mrs. Hefft was born in the old homestead near what is now known as Shaver’s Mills, October 16, 1867. Her husband, the late Benjamin Hefft, died June 19, 1939. Mrs. Hefft was a member of Dallas Meth- odist Church, W. S. C. A. Bible Class: and 'W. C. T. U. She is survived by three -chil- dren: Joseph 'S. Hefft, Dallas; Mrs. George Davey, Wilkes-Barre; and Miss Maude Hefft, Dallas. Funeral services were conducted from the home last Monday at 2 by Rev. Francis Freeman. Inter- ment was in the family plot at Woodlawn Cemetery. The pallbearers were: Sherman Hefft, Wesley Harris, Milford Sha- ver, Ray Prutzman, Frank Garra- han, and John Dana . “FARM TOPICS James, D. Hutchison County Agricultural Agent = Prepare Clean Woo] Clips Shear jonly when the wool is dry, and do the shearing on a clean, dry floor, are two reminders by Wil- liam B. Connell, extension livestock specialist of the Pennsylvania State College. To contribute to the value of the 1946 wool crop, he also sug- gests packing gray or black wool separately, keeping tags and dung- locks out of fleeces, using paper twine, packing burry and seedy fleeces separate from clean wool, and storing until marketing in cool, dry place. Protect Pasture Lots Give the grass a chance to make some top and root growth, and don’t graze it too early or too hard in the spring. Also don’t delay too long in turning on the cows because of the possible waste in good pas- ture. Handle Plants Carefully Because mosaic, a virus disease which can cause serious damage to tomatoes, can be spread to the tomato plants from ° tobacco, or potatoes, growers are reminded to wash their hands thoroughly after handling tobacco or potatoes. Pastures Save On Feed Good pastures can save up to 15 per cent on the cost of grain for pigs on ful] feed. Avoid Late Hybrids ‘Whether for grain or silage, corn hybrids which are too long in sea- son should be avoided since they mature poorly. Prune Shrubs Now Shrubs pruned at the end of the flowering season develop new wood and buds for next season. Kill Weeds In Oats Wild mustard, fast-growing weed that thrives in some oats fields to the extent that in some instances it almost chokes out the grain, can be reduced or almost eliminated by the use of two spray materials, coppor sulphate at the rate of 7 pounds to 100 gallons of water, and Sinox, at manufacturers’ directions. Ban Cabbage Clubroot Clubroot, a disease which can cause heavy losses to cabbage grow- ers, can be checked in the seedbed by drenching the seedlings with corrosive sublimate, and by using hydrated lime in gardens. Check Corn Planter Necessary adjustments ito corn planters, particularly those which determine accurate spacing and uniform number of kernels per hill, should be made in advance of the planting season. Spray Despite Frost Regardless of the condition of fruit buds from late freezes, apple trees need sulphur sprays for pro- tection against scab. Mow Lawn As Needed Mow the lawn to 1% inches when the grass reaches 2% inches, advises A. E. Cooper, Penn State extension agronomist. a 5d amc
