State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By Ruth Current State Home Demontration Agent Scatter rugs on polished floors are one of the danger spots in the home. Rug-Anchor or ru^ underlay will help prevent falls caused by the slipping of small ; rugs. It is made of sponge rub ber, it clings to the most highly polished floor, thus holding the lightest scatter rug firmly in place. Its cushion effect lessens wear, and rugs last longer be cause the rubber underlay pre vents soil and dirt from pene trating the back of the rug. It has another advantage, too, it will not harbor moths. If Rug-Anchor becomes soiled or coated with wax from floors, ; it is easily cleaned by washing i with lukewarm water and nuiti soap. It comes in 24, 32· and 54 inch widths and may be cut to fit any size rug. The underlay should be cut slightly smaller than rug size—about one to two inches from the edge of the rug —so that it will not extend be yond the edges of the rug. How to dampen clothes for ironing: Use liot water—it pene trates the fibers more quickly. Use a sprinkler that will distri bute the water in a fine spray. Fold clothes carefully to avoid introducing unnecessary wrink les. Fold the hems and double i portions to the inside and roll I up, using a slight kneading pres i sure to help the moisture pene j trate. Use less moisture for ' machine ironing than for hand I ironing. I Dampened clothes should ■"season" at least half an hour, ι In cool, dry weather, they may I stand overnight. In hot, damp ! weather, iron within an hour or I two lest mildew develop. I J.ne siinpitrsi udiiipeuing uc vice available is a perforated metal cap which fits into the neck of a bottle. Sprayers are also used. These distribute the water in a very fine spray and are good for rayons and fine fabrics of all types which do not need a great deal of moisture, but must have it evenly distri 1 buted.

Farm Tenancy Is Still On Decline The decline in farm tenancy, a trend which began in 19 30, has been even more pronounc ed since, the close of Wor 1 d War II, according to Charl e s Ε. Clark, farm management sp ecialist at State College. His statement is based on a recent stuay conducted by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. As of January, 1947, 26.9 per cent of the farms were operated by tennants. says Mr. Clar k. This is almost a 4 per cent de cline from the 31.7 per cent ten nancy of 1945. The greatest relative decline has been in the South. Many plantation type farms formerly operated by tenants are now operated by owners. This is a result partly of mechanization on the farm and shortage of farm labor. Part owners have increas e d and a noticeable decline wa s shown in the percentage of farm land under lease. Many famil ies whose principal income is gained in nearby cities have bought small acreages for country homes which the Cen sus classifies as a farm. Few veterans returned to far ing after the war. Only 5 . 9 per cent of all farm operators were veterans in 1947 for the Nation as a whole. Veterans represent ed 7 per cent of the farm op erators in the South. Approxi mately 41 per cent of the vet eran operators of the matio η are tenants. Even Bed Isn't Safe PONTIAC, Mich.
