DISH TOWELING ADD6 COL
OR ? Dish towels can be delight
ful and colorful additions to the
kltohrn Toweling can be used
with striking effect for cur
tains, tablecloths, place mats,
aprons, a* well as for drying
dishes. When you buy dish
towels, look for quality in the
material ? It will give you max
imum service and satisfaction.
Read the label, examine the
material before you buy ? fiber
content, colorfaatnesa, and oth
er washing Instructions should
be found on the label. Before
Investing in a large supply of
one particular color of towel,
purchase one or two and' test
them In your washer.
Choose a firm, rough textured
fabric that is not too thin.
Kitchen "crash" Is the term
used to describe toweling that
has a hard texture to reduce
linting. The hard texture of
crash also makes towels more
absorbent.
A "world" of fun can be had
in decorating your kitchen and
dining area with kitchen towel
ing. The only limit Is that of
your own imagination!
CLEANING PIANO KEYS ?
Water and not enough sunlight
will turn Ivory piano keys yel
low. To clean these yellowed
keys, use a soft flannel damp
ened with wood or denatured
alcohol. Then be sure that your
piano keyboard is uncovered
part of the time. On some new
pianos, plastic keys are being
used. These may be cleaned
with a damp cloth.
SHEARS AND SCISSORS ?
V J> % Ti
bood scUaori or shears even
though expensive are a better
buy than poor quality ones.
Look upon them as life time
Investment. They should be
made of high-grade steel, prop
erly hardened and tempered.
When they are chrome plated
they will resist rust and stay
sharpened longer.
When cutting a garment from
a pattern use sharp shears.
Plaee material on flat surface
and use long, clean strokes.
Shears are suitable for this
purpose. They have a certain
weight and are made with a
bow handle consisting of a large
oval and a smaller oval. This
type of handle is made for the
right hand or for the left hand.
Two or three fingers of the
cutting hand can be inserted
in the large oval, thus making
possible greater force and long,
clean strokes, even on heavy
material.
PINKING SHEARS have blades
with Jagged edges and produce
a satisfactory finish for closely
woven fabrics. They are not
planned for cutting out a pat
tern from fabric and if so used,
will produce a very poor result.
SCISSORS are light and have
ring handles, slightly oval and
of equal size. Only one finger
is used in each handle, since
no special effort is required.
They have slim blades and
sharp points.
FRESH FRUITS ? Wipe off
newly-bought fresh fruit with
a clean, slightly damp cloth be
fore you put it away. This not
only cleans the fruit but helps
to check rot that may have V
been transferred Irani other d

Timely Farm Questions
Q. How much of each cut of (
meat Is found in a side of beef? (
A. On the basis of a 100 ,
pound side there is 14 pounds ,
round steak, 3 pounds of heel ,
pot roast, 3.S pounds of hind |
shank, 3.5 pounds of rump ,
(bone in), l pound of rump ,
knuckle, half a pound of flank ,
steak, 3 pounds of flank stew, ,
8 pounds of sirloin steak, 5.5 i
pounds of porterhouse steak, 6 ,
pounds of plate, 3.5 pounds of ,
brisket (bone in), 3 pounds of ,
rib (0th and 7th), 5 pounds of ,
rib (8th to 12th, 1 pound Eng
lish cut, 6 pounds arm pot roast, i
11 pounds of blade pot roast, 6
pounds of neck (bone in), 4 ?
pounds of fore shank, 2 pounds
of lean meat, and 10.5 pounds
fat, trim and bone.
Q. If I feed plenty of good
silage, do my cows need hay or
some dry roughage also?
A. Only a few direct compar- 1
isons of milk production from
cows fed silage with and with
out other roughage have been
made. On the basis of results
so far, it appears that at least
a small amount of hay is de
sirable ? but absolutely neces
sary for top production. If you
have adequate silage but limit
ed hay, you should feed small
amount of hay (2 to 5 pounds
per day) and feed plenty of
silage.
Q. Is it true that North Car
olina is now producing its first
winter milk surplus?
I A. Of Grade A milk, yes.
Vhether it Is a temporary con
tltton, or will last through the
rlnter month* is (till a guess. 1
"he Increase per producer
hroughout the state range*
rom 10 to 25 per cent. One of
he large milk products cooper -
tives, with exactly the same
lumber of producers as a year
.go, Is now receiving 30 per
ent more milk.
Q. How much organic matter
s needed in the soil?
A. There is not a specific ]
xrganlc matter requirement for
:rop growth. Organic matter is
lot utilized as such by plants.
Ne can say that a 100-bushel
;orn crop will require from ISO
to 200 pounds of nitrogen, but
*e cannot say that the same
:rop of corn will need a given
i mount of organic matter. Many
3f the effects of organic mat
ter on crop growth axe indirect.
Soils that contain higher
amounts of organic matter are
generally considered more pro
ductive largely because of Its
favorable effects on soil prop
erties and plant growth. Moat
plant materials contain nitro
gen which is released upon de
composition. Legumes such as
clovers or alfalfa are higher in
nitrogen than non-legumes. The
residue from this decomposition
results in organic matter which
contains a lower percentage of
nitrogen than the original ma
terial. This nitrogen is released
more slowly than trom unde
composed plant materials. Thus,
organic matter reported by soil
tests will generally release only
a small amount of nitrogen an
nually.
Q. Why don't soil tests re
ports show the nitrogen con
tent of the soil?
A. Nitrogen becomes available
to plants through decomposition
or organic matter and applied
fertilizers. The amount of ni
trate nitrogen varies from week
to week depending upon many
factors such as temperature

rather difficult to "build up" a
high soil nitrogen level that will
remain for several years, the
nitrogen fertilization practices
must be considered for each
crop. Whether to use nitrogen,
and the amount to apply, would
depend on the requirements of
the specific crop. A knowledge
of crop residues and manures
recently added plus the organic
matter content of the soil will
give Information relative to
what material can be decom
posed to furnish available nitro
gen. Most soils in North Caro
lina are low in nitrogen.
