and include some mustard in the fall cover crop mix. Planting cover crops is simple. Broadcast the seed evenly when planting. Cover the seed with a thin layer of soil by raking over it. Keep the area moist until the seedlings emerge. Occasional watering may be needed if it’s a hot dry fall. Mow and harvest or incorporate the cover crops before they flower and produce seeds. If incorporated, this should happen at least ten days to two weeks before planting garden crops. For a recommended list of cover crop species and their er

crops decompose and slowly release these nutrients. There are two main types of cover crops, warm season and cool season. Early September through the end of October is the time to plant the cool season crop. The idea is they are planted early enough so their roots develop before winter but late enough to avoid completing their life cycle before the weather gets cold. Common legumes such as clover, winter peas and alfalfa trap and transform atmospheric nitrogen in their roots. This nitrogen stores well and serves as a fertilizer source for future crops.

Note: We generally try to cover this topic deeper into the fall, however, the recent cool nights have served as a great reminder that fall will be here before we know it. Some of these cover crops can be a bit hard to find so planning ahead can pay dividends when planting time comes. Cover, or green manure, crops are usually grown when the garden soil is idle. They can also be planted between rows of fruits or vegetables to serve as living mulch. Cover crops are also called “catch crops” because their deep roots absorb nutrients from the soil that could otherwise leach away or be unavailable to garden crops with shorter roots.

Rent spending vs. income
To create our list, we analyzed the cities with the highest and lowest GRAPI (a.k.a. the percentage of people in each city spending more than 30% of their income on rent). In other words, we found the cities where residents spend disproportionately on housing. – Viosecurity.com

with large retiree populations affect a city’s gross rent as percent of income (GRAPI) and skew data, since residents are either unemployed or retired, work only part-time, or make a low wage. To fix this, we capped the median income of each city at $100,000 (in part also because wealthy demographics tend to buy instead of rent).
Stillwater NewsPress • Thursday, August 20, 2020
There’s a golden rule with housing: never spend more than 30% of your monthly income on rent. For instance, if you earn $2,500 each month, you shouldn’t pay more than $750 in rent each month (no matter how amazing the place may be). It’s no secret that cities like San Francisco and New York City have the steepest cost of living. But where else do residents splurge on housing? The team at Vio Security wanted to know how many people actually live by the rule of thirty. (Spoiler: it’s not as many as you’d think.) Cities with a higher overall median income typically saw a low percentage of residents paying more than 30%. But that didn’t always check out. In Shirley, New York, for example, the average income is $84,312, yet 81.4% of its residents put more than 30% of their paychecks towards rent costs. Other states, like North Carolina, boasted cities like Morrisville Town, where only 24.5% of its residents pay more than 30%. Places like college towns or cities
Wary public a challenge in census By Mke Schneider

Stillwater NewsPress • Thursday, August 20, 2020
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. – Out on her first day of knocking on doors in the San Francisco Bay Area, the census taker had limited success getting people to answer the questions on the 2020 census. Residents at only two homes answered all the questions about how many people lived there, what their relationships were and their sex, age, race and whether they’re Hispanic. No one was home at three households, residents at two homes wouldn’t give her the time of day, and the rest only answered some questions. Workers on the front-lines of the massive effort trying to count everyone in the U.S. have faced unprecedented obstacles in the last phase of the 2020 census: people wary of talking to strangers in a pandemic and distrustful of government; a shortened schedule; administrative snafus, and nagging concerns about the quality of the protective equipment they’ve received. The California census taker and others interviewed by The Associated Press asked not to be identified for fear of losing their jobs – they are prohibited by the bureau from talking to reporters. Up to a half million census takers started hitting
the streets last week to knock on the doors of around 56 million homes that haven’t yet responded to the 2020 census. The AP talked to two census takers in California, two in Alaska and one each in Florida and Massachusetts, and the concerns they raised were similar. Following her training, the California census taker tried to establish a rapport by smiling frequently, but that chemistry was hampered by her mask. She also told them she was just trying to do her job in an effort to win them over. She was taken aback by how reluctant people were last Tuesday, either for privacy reasons or distrust of the government. At a couple of houses, she knew the family, but even then they didn’t want to be interviewed by her, though they were happy to share neighborhood gossip. Several census workers said they wished the personal protective equipment the Census Bureau gave them was of higher quality. The census takers, also called enumerators, were given white cloth masks, some made by underwear manufacturer HanesBrands, and a small bottle of bourbon-scented hand sanitizer made by a distillery in Oklahoma. Census takers
also were told to conduct interviews outside as much as possible and maintain 6 feet (2 meters) of distance from people they interview. The Florida enumerator said her mask was flimsy and too big for her face. One of the California census takers described the masks as “stretchy” and lacking a filter. A spokeswoman for the Census Bureau said the masks conformed to CDC guidelines, were washable and could be reused up to 10 times. Johnny Zuagar, who is president of a union that represents permanent census workers but not the temporary census takers, said he thought the Census Bureau did the best it could on masks, given the competition from other companies in ordering 2.4 million masks. “They are trying to do something unprecedented,” said Zuagar, president of Census Council 241. The census helps determine how $1.5 trillion in federal spending is distributed and how many congressional seats and Electoral College votes each state gets. Some of the census takers said the training they received was fraught with administrative confusion. The Florida census taker received a phone call two weeks ago, asking
her to show up for an in-person training session across town 10 minutes before it was supposed to start. A week later, after she met her supervisor, she still had not been able to start her online training sessions because she was switched into another group of enumerators and her new supervisor had not yet contacted her. One of the California census-takers said he was sent an email notice about a virtual training session hours after it was supposed to have taken place. No one told the Massachusetts census taker
he needed to bring his Social Security card or passport for in-person training. The Massachusetts census taker said he had been disappointed in the way his supervisor was communicating with him. The 2020 census has been whiplashed by a constantly changing schedule. The door-knocking phase was supposed to start in May and wrap up at the end of July, but the pandemic pushed the start for most census takers back to August with a deadline for wrapping up the head count at the
end of October. But the Census Bureau recently announced it would end the count a month early, at the end of September, after requests for deadline extensions stalled in Congress. The inaction in the Republican-controlled Senate coincides with a memorandum President Donald Trump issued last month to try to exclude people living in the U.S. illegally from being part of the process for redrawing congres-
sional districts. Census takers this year have to reach 8 million more homes than they did in 2010, and they have only six weeks instead of the 10 weeks they did a decade ago, according to an analysis by the Center for Urban Research at CUNY. Forty-eight senators, including Alaska’s two Republican senators, last week sent a letter to Senate and House leaders urging them to extend the deadlines.
