Adair Co. Extension Agent, August 1, 2006: Fall vegetables Vegetables harvested later in the year may have higher sugar content, higher quality. Early August plantings good for wide variety of crops By David Herbst, Adair County Extension Agent for Agriculture It is not too late to continue to enjoy the garden and add new plantings. A variety of produce can be grown in Kentucky gardens in the coming weeks allowing fresh items to be available well into the fall. The cooler nights experienced later in the year as these vegetables mature may increase the sugar content of many crops and thus increase their quality. Cooler nights also slow growth, so crops can take longer to mature than in the summer. Keep this slower pace in mind when you check seeds for days to maturity.

Letter: Reader appreciates real estate links I would love to see all real estate agents' home site links listed on your site. People who are interested in buying would benefit from this home page direct link to real estate companies. I say this because I am interested in obtaining property/home in Adair County. Without knowing how to access the different agencies and seeing the photos of properties or homes for sale sometimes makes me want to give up. Thanks, though, to First Realty, Burton Real Estate and Walker Real Estate, for already being ahead. Thanks for your time. -TAMMY SMITH Thanks. We appreciate your comment. We, too, appreciate the real estate agents who've linked with Columbia Magazine.com. Truth is, though, we haven't contacted everybody with real estate to sell yet, so much of the blame is with us.

Letter from student: On school starting two weeks later We asked student Lydia Tiller her opinion school being delayed. She writes that putting school off right thing to do, because the school will be safer with a proper driveway Dear Mr. Waggener: I feel like it was a good decison for the school board to postpone school starting because it allows the children to go to a completed school, the teachers will have more time to prepare and organize their rooms, and it will also give the workers more time to complete a proper driveway so the students have safer transport to and from school. My only concern now is for smaller students out in the county who must be on the bus for long periods of time. Sincerely, Lydia C.
