Specialist Gives Advice On Washing, Ironing The way your clothes are washed and ironed has a great deal to do with the way they look and thus the way you look, says Mamie 'Whisnant, State College extens'on specialist in home management. The sorting of clothing prior to washing is a very important step in laundering. Miss Whisnant suggests that you divide the clothes into piles or washer loads. This procedure should generally be done as follows: 1. Slightly soiled white and color fast articles. 2. 'Sleeping garments, underwear, and hand and bath towels. •3. Colored cottons and linens. 4. Very dirty work clothes.. 5. White silks, rayons, nylons, etc. 1 General-Purpose Tractors built to furnish complete 2-plow power \! on farms up to 100 acres, helper power on larger farms.

'QUESTIONS :l;*s3iS North Carolina burley growers lost two to three million dollars this year by mixing such damaged tobacco, wh : eh is usually without support price, with good tobacco, and by tying frozen and fat stem tobacco into hands be fore it was dried out. Farmers can hasten ithe drying out of such damaged tobacco and avoid further losses next year by using the following practises, Bennett says: 1. At the end of a day’s stripping Question: This year I mixed fro zen and fat stem tobacco with un damaged burley, and my tobacco was without support price at the market. How can I market this damaged tobac no without hurting the price of good tobacco ? Answer: Keep the frozen and fat stem tobacco separate from good, dry tobacco, and dry out the damaged and fat stem tobacco before tying it into hands, according to R. R. Bennett, to bacco specialist for the (State College and sorting, the frozen and fat stem leaves can be strung on a stick —two leaves to a hand as primed tobacco is strung. These sticks of leaves should be hung in a dry place. 2. An alternate plan would be to tie a string loosely around a handful of these frozen and fat stem leaves about 1/3 the way down from the butt end of the stems. These bundles THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C„ THURJSPAY JANUARY 1, 1953. of leaves can then be hung astride a stick and hung up to dry. The bun dle of leaves should not be larger than about 8 to 10 inches in diameter. If this tobacco can be hung in a tight room where heat can be supplied with a stove or similar heating unit, dry- ] ing can be greatly increased. < 3. These uncured leaves can be piled loosely on a short length of a wide board for convenience in plac- 1 ing the stem end of the leaves to- * ward the sun in a sunny place on 1 warm days. The board provides a I convenient way to move the tobacco s into a dry place at night and on < cloudy days. < 4. The frozen and fat stem tobaccos * then may be spread out in a dry place on wire suspended well above the ' ground or floor. The frozen and fat ' stem tobaccos should not be tied into hands unt'l the stems are thoroughly dried. . Question: When is the best time , to use methyl bromide gas in tobacco plant beds? Answer: In the fall or spring—any time /the outside temperature is 50 or ( 60 degrees or higher, according to R. c R. Bennett, tobacco specialist for the ( State College (Extension Service. c Bennett says that the methyl boom- ( ide gas treatment, when properly ap- s plied, has proved effective in control- ( ling grass and weeds in tobacco plant beds. It also helps control nema todes. In 1950, demonstrations with methyl bromide were conducted in plant bed soils in 32 tobacco counties in North Carolina. Prior to that time, the treatment had been tested by the North Carolina Agricultural Experi ment Station, and 24 demonstrations were conducted in 10 counties in 1949. Results prove that the treatment is “very effective,” according to Bennett. Methyl bromide gas penetrates the, soil best when the soil is not too wet, I Bennett points out. An air-tight cover i of plastic or tough kraft paper can be bought in suitable widths for the pur- ! pose of confining the gas in the plant bed. Methyl bromide is a poison, but tear gas is mixed with it as a warning agent, Bennett notes. For details on using the gas, see your local county agent.
