PAGE SIX Housing Question Box Question: Does a real shower bath require a separate compartment of its own? Answer: Many people prefer to have the shower placed in a separate compartment, but it is entirely prac tical to install it over the tub. The size of a large number of bath rooms make this the only solution to the shower problem. Plumbing contrac tors will be glad to advise on the type of equipment best suited to any particular bathroom. Question: I understand brick are sold by the thousand. How many per square foot would I have to buy to build a brick veneer home? Answer: The number of brick re quired depends upon the size of the brick, the thickness of the mortar joints and the method of construction. Assuming that you use a standard brick 2 1-4 inches by 3 3-4 inches by 8 inches in size and a 3-8 inch mor tar joint, with the brick laid flat, then figure on 6 1-2 bricks per square foot of wall. ],*, . Question: Does the owner of a home carrying a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing jkdministra-, tion have to carry fire, tornado and earthquake insurance? Answer: Section 9of Article 5 of "Regulations of the Federal Housing Administration for mutual mortgage insurance dated November 1, 1934, as amended November 27, 1934,” pre scribes that a mortgage eligible for insurance must provide for "such ■equal monthly payments by the mort- to the mortgagee as will amor tize the estimated amount of all fire and bther casualty insurance pre miums, within a period ending one month prior to their final due dates.” The owner, therefore, must "carry” fire insurance and such other casualty as the mortgagee may reasonably require. Hie monthly payments on accounts of insurance premiums are paid together with and in addition to the installment on account of princi pal, interest, etc. SEEK TO DESTROY INSECTS Hyde County farmers are burning off all ditch banks, plowing land early and burning com stalks in an effort to destroy insects which damaged the corn and soybean crops severely last season.

By NATALIE ABBOTT 1 have a very fastidious friend who * always has books and flowers and candy, so when I visit her or give her a present I try to give her something useful and lasting. For her birthday I made her this set of towels with crocheted edgings. The edges are crocheted of mercerized crochet cotton and are worked di rectly on to the hem of the towel. I am particularly fond of the de sign of the top one. Here is how I worked it out in a pale yellow cro chet cotton. Materials: Mercerized crochet size 30 In self-ehading or solid boll fast colors; steel crochet hook No. 8. Turn narrow hem and baste or hem in place. If hem is already on towel, work directly Into the edge. 1. Ist row: Attach thread and work row of s c along edge of towel. Gh 5, turn. 2nd row: Skip 2 s c, * 1 d c in next s c. ch 2, skip 2 s c, and repeat from *.

Row 1: Ch 13,1/S c Must Limit Potatoes Or Accept Low Prices Present indications are that North Carolina Irish potato growers will lose heavily on their 1935 crop unless they reduce it by 80 per cent or more, says E. B. Morrow, extension horti culturist at State College. Basing his statement on figures supplied by A. E. Mercer, secretary of the Interstate Early Potato Com mittee, Morrow said that the antici pated crop of 8,500 carloads would probably sell for $1,500,000 less than the cost of production. But if the crop ia. limited to 5,000 cars, he added, the growers stand in position to clear over $1,100,000 above production costs. In other words, a reduction of 3,500 cars will put $2,- 600,000 into the growers’ pockets. Some growers have expressed inten tions of producing a big crop this year in order to establish as large a base as possible, said Morrow, who is executive secretary of the North Carolina Potato Growers Association. But Morrow pointed out that the potato advisory committee has re j quested that the base period be 1930- 34 inclusive, and it is not likely that the 1935 crop will have any effect up on the base average. Furthermore, he said, there is not enough chance of the 1935 crop af fecting the base, through a special ruling or otherwise, to Justify the growers producing a big crop this year at a heavy loss. Among the advisory committee recommendations are: Determination ] by the secretary of agriculture of the J advisable siee of the annual crop to be marketed so as to maintain a par ity price; a flexible basis of allot ments to states; a tax of half a cent a pound on all potatoes marketed which are not covered by tax-exemp tion certificates: transference of cer tificates between growers when de sired, and a referendum on the plan after it has been in force one year. FARMERS’ MUTUAL EXCHANGE DOES GOOD BUSINESS FOR YEAR The Davidson Farmers’ Mutual Ex change did a business amounting to $46,494.55 during the past year, ac cording to an announcement made by the secretary at the recent annual meeting.
