1 Housing Question Box | Question: We would like to have a washroom installed on the first floor. What is the minimum amount of space in which a closet and lavatory can be accommodated? Answer: A space three feet wide and seven feet long is ample for the two plumbing fixtures and allows for a door in the center with possibly a window opposite the door. It is al ways helpful in seeking a location for an extra bathroom or a down stairs lavatory to remember that a one-piece closet is 26 1-2 inches long, the popular type of pedestal lava tories are from 20 to 27 inches wide, and tubs are either 5 or 5 1-2 feet long and 34 inches wide. These are average figures. There are many variations, particularly in the size of lavatories. It i 3 best to consult with a reliable and experienced plumbing contractor who can give expert ad vice on the location of the fixtures. Question: Will it be necessary foi me to hire a licensed architect to draw up plans and specifications for my house under Federal Housing Ad ministration rules? Answer: It would appear the part of wisdom, although not definitely required. In order to obtain a loan it is necessary to submit plans and specifications and if they are accept able it does not matter who prepares them. Most states, however, have their own laws covering the matter and in many instances they require the employment of licensed architects. Question: Should a buyer wish a loan under Federal Housing Admin istration rules and your appraisal value was $5,000, on which you would guarantee a loan of $4,000, could I as builder, take back as a second mortgage $2,000? Answer: No. Second liens are | prohibited in all instances. Question: I would like to repaper my living room in some light color but there is a fireplace which, some times smokes. Is it true that there is wallpaper which can be washed on the market? Answer: All leading wallpapei manufacturers now make washable wallpaper, using fade-proof inks. Question: Is gas and electrical equipment eligible under the rules governing loans made through the FHA plan ? Answer: Yes, providing such equipment is of the non-removable type. SIGN PINE | \ J T.

Higher Quality Eggs Sold To Hatcheries The success and strength of the poultry industry in a state is deter mined by the hatcheries and the qual ity of the chicks they sell, says Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the State Col lege poultry department. This is due to the fact that most chicks reared are the product of local hatcheries, he says, and the quality of the chicks reflects the degree of cooperation between state officials and hatcherymen in raising flock stan dards. In North Carolina, he says, state officials and hatcherymen have work ed hard to lay a firm foundation for the poultry industry, with encourag ing results, he points out. The blood testing work carried on by the state department of agricul ture has elevated North Carolina to a ' high position in regard to the control of bacillary white diarrhea or pullo rum disease, Dearstyne stated, and there has been a marked improvement in the breeding programs for those flocks which supply eggs to the hatch eries. Expansion of the personnel has made it possible to increase the blood testing work and at present there are 44 hatcheries, with an incubator capa city of 750,000 chicks, cooperating I with the state, he says. Practically all the breeds and varie ties of chicks used in commercial poul try work are available in North Caro lina. The hatcheries are handling only locally-produced eggs, and in so doing they are returning to local poul trymen the premiums paid for high grade hatching eggs. Persons who would like to have in formation regarding the cooperating hatcheries may obtain it from the nearest county farm agent, Dearstyne points out. Tobacco Contracts Declared In Effect The tobacco adjustment contracts signed last winter by flue-cured to bacco growers have been extended into 1935, with certain changes, E. Y. Floyd, of State College, announced this week. As a result of the 1934 adjustment program, Floyd said, the surplus of flue-cured tobacco has been elimin ated and the carryover is slightly be low’ normal. Consequently, the allot ments in 1935 will be a little larger than last year. The growers will be given the privil ege of producing either 85 or 90 per cent of their base acreage and pro duction. But growers who produce 90 per cent will get only one half as much in rental payments as those who produce only 80 per cent, Floyd added. The 15 per cent reduction scheduled for 1935 is only one half as much as the reduction last year, he continued, and the rental and adjustment pay ments will be scaled down to one half the previous amount. However, the rentals will continue at the rate of $17.50 an acre on the land retired from tobacco cultivation. The adjustment payments will be 6 1-4 per cent of the net sale value of the 1935 crop. The deficiency payments will be at the rate of one cent a pound on the amount by which a grower fails to produce his allot- : I Attention Farmers! 1 I NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY YOUR 1 1 LIME I ALSO SEE US FOR FERTILIZERS AND SODA PRICES \ Buy Now and | Save Money I | u 1 | Eastern Cotton Oil Company \ | HERTFORD, N.

Our Own Weekly Sewing Club Your Sewing Machine •THERE Is little If anything I can say about the requirements or cap * abilities of your sewing machine that hasn’t already been said and written for rour benefit by highest authorities. Every manufacturer is sues an instruction book with each machine and stands ready to an swer questions on its operation and care. Every dealer places at the disposal oi prospects and purchasers practical Instruction by com petent operators in all of the many uses. Instruction books disappear. Asking questions by mail Is a nuisance. Even informal lessons take time. Auxiliary devices are laid away and forgotten. On the principle that a reminder of some more or leap im portant items can’t hurt and may help I’ll mention a few. Use your Instruction book. If you haven’t one, get one from the deal er or manufacturer. They are usually available without charge. It will tell you where oiling is needed and how to regulate tension and make other necessary adjustments. It will explain about the many methods of using the machine and about any attachments by which addition::! uses are made possible. There are attachments now for binding, hr ruing, ruffling, tucking, darning, hemstitching, buttonhole-making :u.u perhaps other opera.tions. Keep your machine free of dU3t and ilnt and oil It at least ever’ eight or ten yours of use. Place it so daylight will fall on your wo ! from the left and handle your sewing as indicated in the sketch, with a pair of small-pointed scissors always at hand. Guide your fabric to the presser foot.

Bobbins are so cheap it will, certain:y pay you to have a number of them wound and ready with the threads yon a"’, likelv m ment. The rental payments will be made after compliance with contract is checked, Floyd said. Last year they were made shortly after the con tracts were signed. For growers with a base of less than four acres, the rate of the ad justment payment will be increased, in accordance with the terms of the contracts, to a maximum of 12 1-2 per cent of the value of the 1935 crop, Floyd added. Prune Yard Shrubs During: Winter Months The best time for pruning flower ing shrubs in North Carolina is in December, January or February, recommends J. G. Weaver, of the State College department of horti culture. During the cold weather months, he says, pruning stimulates new growth and the wounds heal more quickly. When the leaves are off, it is also easier to determine which stems and branches should be cut. There is no serious objection to cutting off the flowering wood of shrubs which flower in the spring if the pruning is done carefully, he adds. Shrubs would always be in good shape if pruned as carefully as fruit trees. In pruning, remove all the dead, diseased, broken and crossed branches. Burn twigs infested with disease. It is also advisable, he said, to cut out the older branches before they die and give new growth a chance to take their place. The shape of the plant will not be changed by removing the old branches, when done carefully, he says, for the new growing twigs will quickly fill out the open places. Some plants, such as red and yel low stemmed dogwoods, are grown chiefly for the color and attractiveness of the twigs. As only the young shoots are colored, it is important to cut back the old wood as much as possible. When plants are grown especially for their shape, such as hedges and sheared specimens, he continued, they should be clipped frequently to con form to the design which is desired. When plants are grafted or budded to more vigorous stocks, the sucker growths which frequently start from the stock roots should be cut away. By a combination of thinning, head ing back, and root pruning, a plant can be made to take almost any shape, Weaver adds. Pitt County tobacco growers voted unanimously for a continuance of the Kerr-Smith tobacco control act. j COLORED NEWS ] A joyful Christmas id the talk of the town.
