NO METAL ICE BOX IN NEAR
FUTURE
Production of pre-war models of
ill-metal domestic ice refrigerators
will not be resumed in the near fu
ture, mainly because reversion
would involve a long change-over
period. The hardboard and wood
war-model is now being produced
it almost four times the pre-war
rate.

Civilians in the United States
will have more frcz2n vegetable?

AGRICULTURAL CONSERVA
TION PROGRAM
The 1944 program for U. S.
agricultural conservation practic
es, designed to guide six million
farm families in getting maximum
production from their land, ha?
been announced by WFA. Among
the most important practices are
those dealing with application of
lime and phosphate, which give the
soil greater "fire-power," imme
diately boosting production at low
cost.
LESS PAPER FOR PACKAGES
Fewer package wrappings will
be available for retail shoppers this
year. Shortage of wood pulp for
paper-making will not permit a
normal supply. There will be
enough bags for assorted groceries,
WPB said, if housewives save these
bags artd take them back to stores
for their own re-use. WPB also
advised that the shopping bag with
handles must be used many^times
to substitute for individual package
wrappings.

Early Planting
Saves On Labor
"Time" is one of the most impor
lant elements in the farm produc
vion schedule and it doesn't cost
anything.
Extension farm management
specialists at State College sug
Test that with corn, for example,
he early breaking of the land, the
application of ,'JOO pounds of fer
il'zer per acre ahead of planting,
and the preparation of a gocd seed
bed, so as to get the crop in th?
ground at the "right time" in early
?prine, will not only result in larg
^r yields but will also help to save
in labor.
Corn planted in a good, well pre
pared seed bed has less chance of
getting "In The Grass." Three hun
Ired pounds of a high analysis
fertilizer per acre at planting
quickly "kicks the crop to knee
high" so that it can be worked cu
vithout interfering with the cash
crop, when they must be given first
consideration. Under average c n
clitions, early planted corn has a
better opportunity of making a
good crop than that planted later
The farm management specia
lists also suggest slight shif s in
^rr,p acreages, which will add to
he labor requirements in the o^
months and lessen the needed lab?r
it pezk periods. Sowing lespe
rleza in small grains now rather
'han a crop of cowpeas or soybeans
'his summer, may be a step in the
right direction for gome growers.

I Mud stains, especially on chil
dren's clothes, are among the most
frequent clothes cleaning problems
in spring time. Mud stains are n~t
? difficult to remove if dealt with
I promptly and properly.
I Clothing specialists advise let
ting the mud dry, then brush off as
much as possible with a stiff brusi
If the mud is on a wash garment
soak in clear cold water then wash
with soap and warm water. If the
garment is not washable-, sponge
the stain with denatured alcohol
For rayon and colored clothes use |
diluted alcohol. Twice as much |
water as alcohol is the proportion.
Mud often does more damage to
leather than to fabric. If left to
dry on shoes it may make a per
manent stain. It should be re
moved at once with a wet cloth or
stiff brush. Polish shoes when dry.
. No ironing. After washing over- !
alls in soapy water, rinse twice but I
only wring out the first water.
Hang on the line dripping wet. Yru
will be surprised how smooth thny
will be when dry. I wash my cot
ton gloves this way.
