Profitable hobbies: It’s fun to earn
extra dollars in retirement whether |
you need them or not. Miss Helen
McIntyre, 66, a retired stenographer
in Houston, Texas makes handsome
pictures but she’s no artist. How
does she do it? First she buys tex-
tile remnants printed with tasteful,
colorful scenes. Then she clips out
the scenes, mounts them on stiff
cardboard, and frames them. She
does the framing herself, having
learned the tricks of the trade by
spending an afternoon watching a
professional frame maker.
THE BEST SELLERS, she reports,

BARBARA R. of Des Moines, Iowa,
writes: “My husband and I are in
our early 30’s. We both work and
have a combined income of about
$6,000 a year. How much money
do you think we should put aside
monthly toward our retirement?”
ANSWER: This depends on how
much you'll need. Assuming that
you want ga private income of at
least $200 a month when you retire,
in addition to any pension or social
security’ you may be receiving, you
should be saving about $1.65 a day
or about $50 a month. This amount
should then be invested in a sound
plan, such as a retirement insur-
ance program, which will pay ap-
proximately $200 a month begin-
ning at age 65.

HENRY S., 74, of Galva, Illinois
writes, “Do you believe folks should
move to a new community when
they retire?”
ANSWER: Yes, if they have few
close ties in their old community,
if they feel they'd enjoy a new
environment, and if they have care-
fully investigated their new retire-
ment location well in advance of
actual moving. Surveys indicate
that more than a quarter of all
people who retire move to a new
community, and that most of these
people adjust satisfactorily to their
new surroundings.
YES.

Agent Explains
Weeds In Lawns
County Agent Has
Valuable Bulletin
For Home Owners
Many home owners have been
troubled with various types of turf
weeds in their lawns, and have been
inquiring at the county agent's of-
fice about the use of chemical weed
killers. Apparently there have been
many disappointments because of
improper use of those materials.
The first step in the lawn weed
control program should be following
good cultural practices. If the lawn
has not been fed, then applications
of lime and fertilizer should be
made, preferably a year in advance
of the use of chemical weed killers.
Cutting at a minimum height of
one and one-half inches is import-
ant. Lime, fertilizer, and high cut-
ting will help build up soil fertility
and strengthen and promote the
spread of good grasses that are in
the lawn and encourage growth of
newly seeded grasses.
Most broad-leaf weeds, such as
plantain, buckhorn, etc., can be kill-
ed with 2,4-D. Chemical weed killers
can be applied almost any time
from April to October, but best re-
sults are usually obtained through
August applications at a time when
the weeds are growing vigorously.
A suggested program would be,
soil improvement a year in advance,
use of 2,4-D in mid-August, a fer-
August, and a scattering of seed the
first or second week in September.
Merion or Kentucky bluegrass ‘is
best in the sun and chewings fescue
in the shade. Such a program should
cause good grasses to fill the bare
spaces where weeds were killed.
spring without soil improvement,
those spots are re-infested with
weed seeds the following fall and a
year later the weed problem is as

Life
WHEN PUPPIES ARE
EXPECTED
by Bob Bartos
Manager, Friskies Research Kennels
There's nothing more appeal-
ing than a “family” of new-
born puppies, but too few dog
owners have ever learned how
to care for the expectant
“matron.”
Unless complications develop,
it is quite common for the fam-
ily pet to have her litter at
home. Puppies can be expected
about 63 days after your pet
has been mated. If she has not
been wormed prior to mating,
Dog of the Week: COLLIE.
Height: 22 to 24 inches. Rough
collie: Outer coat abundant, harsh;
inner coat soft, furry, close. Smooth
collie: Short, dense, flat coat; abund-
ant undercoat. Colors: Sable and white,
black and tan with white markings,
blue merle, varied. Seventh in popu-
larity.
she should be wormed within
two to six weeks to help insure
that her litter is free from this
problem.
As pregnancy advances, her
appetite will increase until she
is eating about twice her nor-
mal amount. Feed her a well
balanced diet such as a good
commercial dog food. The
amount should be reduced the
last two weeks of pregnancy,
She needs plenty of exercise,
but jumping and strenuous run-
ning should be avoided. During
the last few days she may en-
joy short walks, but don’t over-
tire her.
A few days before the puppies
are due, her coat should be
sponged with germicidal soap.
Clip the hair around her vaginal
and mammary regions and
clean carefully.
When labor begins, she will
be restless and will quite liter-
ally tear up her bed. If she is
attached to you, she’ll probably
appreciate your being around
during the normal labor period
of five or six hours.
Puppies are occasionally born
in a sack-like membrane which
the mother will tear open with
her ‘teeth. If she doesn’t, the
membrane must be removed
immediately, or the puppy will
die from lack of oxygen. Should
complications arise, such as a
green discharge, or if labor
is prolonged, call your veteri-
narian.
See that the mother and
babies are warm, After whelp-
ing (giving birth) give her
warm milk, but no solid food
for several hours.
Feeding Tips: When weaning
puppies, feed them a soupy
mixture of a good prepared dog
food, with twice as much luke-
warm water as food.
STATE POLICE SAY
You must learn to know what
to expect of other drivers with
whom you share the highway.
Also they must know what you
intend to do. Hand signals, re-
quired by law are for this pur-
pose, use them.
great as ever.
The 2,4-D weed killer can also
kill or harm other broad - leafed
plants in the yard, such as shrubs
and flowers, if the spray drifts over
them. Choice of a calm day and
care in application are two neces-
sary precautions. Almost all flowers,
grape vines, roses and many shrubs
are susceptible to injury.
Two types of chick weeds have
been found in area lawns — the
meadow chick weed and the mouse-
eared chick weed with longer hairy
leaves. Both plants are flat growing
with stems creeping out from the
center root and often rooting at the
stem joints to make a more or less
dense matted growth.
Chick weeds are probably best
controlled during fall or winter
months any time when the temper-
ature is above freezing. The sug-
gested chemical control is to spray
the infested lawn area when the
temperature is in the 40-50 degree
range during September and Octo-
ber, and again during November.
Use a solution of three ounces of
potassium cyanate in three gallons
of water to which a teaspoonful of
detergent soap has been added.
Three gallons will cover about a
thousand square feet of lawn.
Chick weed can also be sprayed
with the Ester form of 2,4-D in very
early spring before buds break on
shrubs and trees. The Ester form
usually gives a little better kill than
the Amine form and it is safe to use
at manufacturer’s directions at that
time of year. Later when shrub and
tree growth has started, the spray
drift and fumes could cause injury.
It is not advised to use a chemi-
cal weed killer the first year on a
newly seeded lawn. Very often most
of the weeds that come into a new
lawn are annuals and they are kept
down by mowing and are killed by
the first frosts.

management, weed control, as well
as an excellent lawn calendar, can

ment,” at your county agent’s office,
