2. Store your pens in an empty glass or any cylindrical container in an upright position. This is done to protect their points from being damaged.
3. Clean your lettering brush with a lacquer thinner if you used it with an enamel paint. If you used it with latex or textile paint, rinse it with plain tap water.

Lesson 21-Single Stroke Gothic Letters,Spacing,Proportioning & Centering Letters

* Single Stroke Gothic- most widely used & accepted style of letters.Common in posters & billboard signs.

4 Groups of Gothic Letters:
1. Single stroke Vertical uppercase letters-JESSA
2. Single stroke Inclined uppercase letters-JESSA
3. Single stroke Vertical lowercase letters-jessa
4. Single stroke Inclined lowercase letters-jessa

Guidelines used in Letterings:
1. Capline___________________
2. Waistline_________________
3. Baseline__________________
4. Dropline__________________

Proportion of Letters:
1. Compressed letters-used if space is limitted/narrow.
2. N o r m a l letters- used if there is enough space.Not too narrow nor too wide.
3. E x p a n d e d letters- used if space is wide.

Spacing of letters:
1. Spacing letters-it is done by the eye.We call it Visual Spacing(tinatantiya lang).
2. Spacing Words-imagine letter O between each word.
3. Spacing Sentences-spaces must be equivalent to 2 capital letter O.

Methods of Centering Titles:
1. Trial & Final Method-it is widely used by skilled drafting students. A light lettering (trial only)is made with a pencil in the space where the title is to be located.Then,in finishing it,necessary adjustments are made so that the letters/titles are properly centered.
2. Scratch paper Method-it is advisable for beginners.The scratch paper is centered over the space where the title is to be printed.

Lesson 8-CONTROL OF PLANT PESTS & DISEASES

Types of Plant Enemies:
1. Pests & Insects
2 kinds:
a.) Chewing insects-bites -off portion of plants and swallow them up.
b.) Sucking insects- have tube-like sucking mouths used to suck plant juice.
2. Plant Diseases- refers to presence of pathogens & microorganisms in a normal plant & affects the normal functioning of a plant which can be seen through symptoms.

Types of Microorganisms which causes Diseases:
1. Bacteria-tiny living plants that can only be seen through microscope.
2. Fungi-spongy low plant form that grows on or within the tissue of host plant.
Ex. mildew,smuts & molds.
3.Viruses- a group of living microorganisms that causes infectious disease to its host either plant or animal.
4. Nematodes- all kinds of worms that feeds on plants.

Controlling Pest & Diseases:

2. Avoid being contact with chemicals especially the skin & eyes.
3. Avoid inhaling the chemicals.
4. Dispose the empty containers of chemicals properly.Spray cans must be cleaned after use.

Lesson 7-FERTILIZERS

Soil-the great storehouse of plant food
Fertilizers-are substances such as PNK that increase soil fertility.

3 Major Elements in the soil:
1. Nitrogen(N)-improves the vegetative growth of plants.
2.Phosphorous(P)- hastens plant maturity,strengthens the stems and stimulate the development of fruits.
3.Potassium(K)-strengthens the stem of plants and develop their resistance to plant diseases.

Kinds of Fertilizers:
1. Inorganic Fertilizer-complete or incomplete.
-commercial fertilizer(PNK).
2.Organic Fertilizer-are taken from decayed plants and animal wastes,including manures,leaf mold,hay and similar wastes materials.

Sources of Organic Fertilizer:
1. Animal manure-ex. Guano(bats & bird manure)
2. Green manure-ex. legumes
3. Compost- decomposed manure,plant parts,rice hulls,weeds & other organic matter.

2 Common Methods of Composting:
1. Compost Pit Method- digging a rectangular pit.
2. Compost Heap Method-organic matters are piled on top of eachother until it reaches 1 meter.

Methods of Applying Fertilizers:
1. Band Application-by digging furrows under or beside the plants.
2. Broadcast Method-scattered in the field in all directions by hand or machine.
3. Foliar Application-is done by spraying on the leaves or foliage of the plants.
4.Row Application-by digging furrows under the plants in rows.

Lesson 6-"IRRIGATION,WEEDING & CULTIVATION of PLANTS

IRRIGATION:-method of supplying adequate water to plants.

Ways of Irrigating Plants:
1. Sprinkle Irrigation-water is supplied to plants using a sprinkler.
2. Surface Irrigation-water is allowed to flow to the soil surface through small canals near slope rows of plants.
3. Drip or tickle Irrigation- water is suplied directly to the roots o the plants in small amounts.

Weeds- unwanted plants.

3 Types of Weeds:
1. Annual Weeds-complete their growth in 1 season.
2. Biennial Weeds-needs 2 season to complete their cycle.
3. Perrenial Weeds-the most difficult to control because they live more than 2 years.

Cultivation-tillage operation on the soil around rows or plots of planted crops.

2.
Plow the land(pulverize the soil,aerate it and make it hold enough moisture.)
3.Harrowing-level and make the soil finer.
4.Raise beds-for drainage.
Ways of Planting:
1.Direct Seeding-seeds are planted in an areawhere they will be grown until they are ready for harvesting.
2.Indirect seeding-sown in seedbeds and transplanted when they have developed 3 or more leaves.
Rate,Depth and Distance of Planting:
Rate of planting-thickness of seeds in rows(nos.of seeds to be planted in hill)
Depth of planting-determined by the size & structure of the seed,soil & the season of planting.
Distance of planting-amount of space needed by each plant for normal development.
