Christmas safety precautions for a fire safe holiday
Household plans for Christmas should focus on safety. Fire is the top risk, followed by electric shocks, poisoning, falls, and injuries from sharp gifts. Use a fresh tree treated with boric acid and borax, place it in water, and keep it away from heat sources. Use UL labeled lights, keep exits clear, and avoid flammable decorations like angel hair and snow spray. Handle costumes with borax boric acid solution and supervise decorations around children. Remove wrappings, keep holly away from kids, and be cautious with mothballs.

Subsoil moisture guidelines for fall irrigation use
Subsoil moisture should be built up in the fall to store water for next year. Irrigate to fill the root zone to six feet or more in alfalfa on deep soils, with soil type guiding timing. Sandy or shallow soils gain little from off season irrigation and may waste water and reduce nitrogen carryover. Contact Osceola Soil and Water Conservation District for soils maps and guidance.
