They add com fort, attracyveneea and color . to a room, and may be made at small cost. Rnby Schols, Extension economist in food conservation and marketing at State College, says that one of the most, important factors in making these ruga is color arrangement. She suggests that plans be made for a scheme which is pleasing to the eye.and.haismonious to the room, Which the rug Is to serve. The larg est area such as backgrounds and borders should harmonize with the general tones of the room in which the rug is to be used. 'Consideration should also be given to snch other furnishings as draper ies, upholstery and pictures. Jia a genral rule, at least two thirds of the rags for the rug should be neutral or rather dark in color, says Miss Scholz. Tans, browns, grays and dull blues ordinarily make the most suitable backgrounds. For example, one-fourth of the cloth for the background may be dyed a medium brown, one-fourth light tan, and one-half golden broVfn. In a rugfof the various tones of brown, the, addition of touches of orange, crilhson or bright green gives life or accent to the color scheme.

A small amount of Kudzu has been established on some ditch banks for this purpose of stabilizing the banks andf field planting fohay, temporary gracing, and eroblon control. Another accomplishment by the District farmers was putting to use some of their land for wildlife bor ders. This was land around the edge of woods where trees were creeping out into the fields. The establish ment of these narrow strips of ser- icefi prevents further sprouting of trees and an placed on the area Where there are poor crop yields due to tree roots sapping the land. The landowners who have done this work are well satisfied with it. Other farmers who are interested should get in . touch with the District through the local soil Conservationist or the County Agent. , New Higher Pay for the Army!
