"2F Sunday, September 29, 1985 HaMasburjp AMERICAN Magic formula makes plants grow Darsonlantin one-eighth inch of soil. The same amount sprinkled of agricultural limestone. UNLESS you'll use the compost around acid loving plants like azaleas. The lime raises the pH of your compost. The sprinkle is water to moisten the pile.

Your goal is a moisture level like a damp sponge. Not soggy. That's it. Repeat the formula over and over again until you've used up all your material or have run out of space. Dampen once a week if there is no rain.

i If you are using large piles instead of the smaller "for sale" bins I discussed last week, your last work will be turning the piles. I use a pitch fork for this. Turn the pile every three weeks or so. Try to get the top and outside edges of your pile into the center of the new pile. This lets all the material get the benefit of the heat that kills most insects and weed seed.

That's it. I will give you a few extra hints next week, but you now have enough for great garden gold that will not go up and down with events in South Africa. BY GRAHAM HALES This week it's the FORMULA. That magical formula that speeds up nature's marvelous process of making top soil for best plant growth. The compost formula.

First, let me ask you to look around and discover what you have that will convert into compost. The idea is not to go out and buy lots of stuff. Use what you have as much as possible. The first and largest or thickest layer of your pile is what we call "green matter'' but is really most anything that will rot down. Included are leaves, weeds, food scraps except meat, bean hulls, corn cobs and husks, plant remains, spent blossoms, vacuum bag contents (alias your house dust), coffee grounds, shredded newspaper sheets that have no colored pictures, saw dust (aged is best), grass clippings, brewery wastes (if we ever have one near us), rotted wood, two year or older pine straw, leather dust, shredded twigs from pruning jobs, and you can add lots more sources.

The more types the better your raises the cost a lot. If you do not supply enough nitrogen material such as the above, your pile won't heat up and the process will take too much time. You don't want that. That's the first two numbers of my 1 a Six-Two-Sprinkle-Sprinkle-Sprinkle. The sprinkles are easy.

The first one is rich soil. It contains billions of composting bacteria. You can use some left over compost or good soil from your garden. You'll be returning it so it's not robbery. About Radio station seeks listener support THE UNIVERSITY of Southern Mississippi Southern Arts Trio will present a concert at 8 p.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 1, in the Performing Arts Center auditorium. Trio members are (I to r) Peter Lemonds, cello; Jerrie Lucktenberg, violin; and Lois Leventhal, piano. The performance will include trios by Beethoven, Malcolm Arnold and Arensky. The recital is free and the public is invited.

Primitive 'Angels' featured at Saenger A new group to raise money for Christian radio station WKOJ has been organized to seek grants from patrons. "The station needs help in many areas," said Andrew A. Burkett, chairman of the "WKOJ Friends of Jesus." He said the group is seeking financial donations, community support, taped testimonies to be played on the air, help with church calendars, help with a monthly newsletter, assistance with building maintenance, help for an intercessory prayer calendar, aid in prosperity promotions and any volunteer services. AF Band finished product will be. Try and avoid lots of one type at once.

For example, leaves mixed with grass is better than leaves of erass used alone. Once you've gotten your green matter together, dig up the soil at your site and put down six inches of this material as level one. Since composting is a live process, bacteria must eat the working compost. They like nitrogen. So, the second layer is manure.

Two inches of that. You can substitute cottonseed meal at about -inch but it WKOJ has been struggling to meet its financial commitments since it went on the air, and more than once donations have rescued the stations. WKOJ Friends of Jesus organized in August and had its second meeting this month, with about 50 attending. Burkett said the group adopted six short-range and two long-range goals. The long range goals are to obtain at 100,000 watt FM frequency and to add a 24-hour volunteer Christian telephone counseling staff.

The short range goals include paying off all existing debts, increasing transmitter power to 5,000 since he received his Bachelor's in Music Performance in 1981 from the Curtis Institute of Music. From 1979 to 1981 he was a member of the Goliard Brass Quintet of Philadelphia, serving as principal trumpet and director from 1980 to 1981. He was also principal trumpet in the Garden State Philharmonic. From 1982 to 1985 he performed as principal trumpet with the Georgetown Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. and will again be a featured soloist with that orchestra in 1986.

In the Oct. 6 concert, Bittner will be trumpet soloist in the band's interpretation of the Third Movement of Kent Kennan's "Sonata for Trumpet." Other numbers on the band's program include the Overture to "Colas Breugnon" by Kabalevsky, "The Gallant Seventh" march by Sousa, "Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte" by Ravel, "Madamina" from "Don Giovanni" by Mozart and selections from "Roman Festivals" by Respighi.

Included in their repertoire is music 'superb' by critics continued to paint the "Angels" intermittently, until May of 1982, when she decided to copyright them. Later the paintings became illustrations for her book "The Alabama for which she also wrote the narrative.

Mrs. Barwick considers both paintings and narrative as gifts to her and says, 'The Alabama Angels' are for everyone." Paintings of Mrs. Barwick's Angels" will be on view at the opening reception Thursday, Oct. 3 from 7-9 p.m. in the Lida G.

Rogers Gallery in the Saenger Center. The public is invited. This program is funded in part by a grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts. The Hattiesburg Civic Arts Council is featuring primitive artist -Mary Barwick from Montgomery, Ala. in an exhibit of American folk art and Southern rural paintings.

Mrs. Barwick's work reflects her Southern heritage and most of all its spirit. Her paintings depict the qualities of the people that were an integral part of this heritage: love of God and family, a sense of music and laughter, and a loyalty to humanity that is stamped on every corner of the South. Especially illustrative of these feelings are her special paintings, "The Alabama The first "Angels" were done for a show prior Christmas 1980. They were -portraits of "Night Angels" who always helped in some way.

She watts (which has already been approved by the Federal Communications Commission), purchasing new studio equipment, adding a public information officer, increasing the number of ministries on the air, and installation of a satellite receiver. No dollar figure on the fund-raising goals wasfeieased. "You, the public, people in all walks of life, rich, poor, hurting, lonely, may benefit by the ministry of WKOJ," Burkett said. "Those people who wish to be free from pain, fears and destruction may also benefit from the ministry of WKOJ. Tech.

Peters says Forrest General's policy is, "If they're not in critical distress, it's helpful if we can get a record on them, but if they are, of course, we see them immediately," 1 But, Peters says, "We don't admit patients.

If they need admission, we call a particular physician for that particular problem. It would be physically too difficult to maintain an inpatient population and keep things going at the pace we go down here." The pace is hectic in the emergency room. There are no appointments. And life revolves around the unexpected. But there are compensations.

1 "The most rewarding thing," says Peters, "is putting the energy of everybody here into treating a trauma patient and having them respond and survive."
