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.

Women Want Peace
NEW YORK (U.P.) — Women
all over the world fear war and
are trying to promote under
standing among nations so that
peace can be maintained, Mrs.
Ambrose N. Diehl said on her
return from a four-month global
trip. Mrs. Diehl, president of the
National Council of Women of
the United States, said she found
that the women in India exert
ed more influence in their coun
try's affairs than the women of
any other country she visited.
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.

injured by an automobile while
she slept in her upstairs bed
room. The car. out of control,
