Bchools open very soon and
you are now .getting the young
sters ready, I am sure. More
than ever school and casual
dresses and piece goods are
labeled “wash and wear,” “drip
drp’\ “needs little ironing” and
“wrinkle resistant”.

Vat dyes are the best dyes
They are used on cottons and
rayons.
A dress labeled “Sanforized,”
“Rigmel,” or “will not shrink
•more than 2 percent” should not
shrink out of fit.
A dress fabric that 'has been
given a special finish and label
ed “crease resistant.” “wash and
wear,” “drip dry,” or “minimum
care” will not shrink out of fit,
either. Some names of these
finishes you’ll find bn labels are
Regulated. Disciplined, Perma-
Rressed. Minicare, and Wrinkle-
Shed for cottons; and Avcoset
for rayons.
Mercerized means that the cot
ton has more luster and is
stronger.
Combed cotton means more!
luster. It keeps its smooth feel'
through washing and wearing, j
Some corduroys are machine
washable, and others are only
hand washable because their
colors won’t stand up under the
hot water in the machine. If
you expect to machine wash,:
look for “machine washable” on
the label. Never take it for
granted. Wrinkle-resistant fin
ishes are now for corduroy.
They work.
SAVE THE LABEL
It’s a guide for care. One
spick-and-span girl pins labels
on a sheet of paper. She jots
down by the label which dress
it came with. So far she hasn’t
ruined a dress. They all look

! Since there are so many stores

have such a wide variety of

ve may use in helping us to de
cide when We are making the

The label will tell whether the
sheet is made up of 100% cot
ton, nylon acetate, nylon cotton,
or other blends. It will tell
hew closely woven the threads
are. The label will tell if the
sheet will shrink, how to care
for it, and it will give the manu
facturer’s name. The label will
al?o tell the size of the sheet
for single or double beds. A
•iheet that measures 81 bv 108
is a good size for a double bod
, arid 83 by 9!) is a good size for
a single bed.
Extremely light weight sheets
are not as durable as the other
sheets because they wrinkle eas
ily and will riot stay in place onj
the bed,
A good strong durable sheet
for average wear is the medium
I weight muslin sheet.
| Heavy muslin sheets are rec
| ommended, for hard wear; they
are good for growing children,
(specially boys. Percale sheets
1 are lighter in weight and they
; fee! smooth and look nicer than
i the, other sheets. Sheets may
be bought in regular flat styles
or fitted with mitered siitched
'■earners. You may judge the,
quality of a good sheet by mak
ing several simple tests, such as:
1. Hold the sheet up to the
I light to see if the weave is
even and firm.
2. Rub the sheet between your
fingers to sec if if has-been
! heavily sized. If a white pow
der rub.-, off, this will not be
a good sheet, because it will
io>k sleazy after it has been
laundered.

hems of the sheet to sec if they

I am very proud to have been

jto attend the 19th annual Con-I

i nnd prepare me to teach others
the “why” of conservation. As a
| delegate I was chosen to repre

In studying about soil conserv
ation I learned many methods tn
help improve farming. Some of
them were: (1) Contour plowing,
(2) strip plowing. (3) terrace
plowing, (4) grass water ways,
(5) a good rotation system, <6)
tiling and (7) open ditches. All
ot these methods help improve
farming if used properly. In
studying about the forest I have
learned many methods to help
improve it. Some of them are:
(1) selective cutting, (2) re-set
wiWi pine seeding and (3) help
prevent forest fires. As for farm
operation, the farmers in Cho-!
wan County are doing a com-’
paratively good job. Many
far-mere have developed an ap- 1
predation for seeking new in- j
formation. Yet, there are too j
many who will not attend meet-I

Price Support Level

\j
Considerable publicity has
been released recently on farm
legislation. The bffect of the
(general farm bill on peanut leg
islation is relatively minor.
However, it did authorize the
use of Marketing Orders and
Agreements for peanuts where,
heretofore, this was not avail
able. The effect of this . addi
tion is that this approach may
be used jointly with the current
type peanut program if the pro
ducers in a producing area vote
to use it. This authority has
been .available for the tobacco
program for a number of years
I but has not been used by the
tobacco people. It will be most
beneficial if needed and, if not
needed, the present type pro
gram can continue.
In connection with prices, the
price support level as announced
by the Secretary of Agriculture
in March has been retained and
this will mean that an average
ton of Virginia type peanuts will
be supported at $233.61), as com
pared with $213.93 last year. In
addition to this, there will be
no deduction for storage and
handling costs, which amounted
to $9.00 per ton last year;
therefore, Virginia type peanuts
will be supported at approxi
mately $29.00 per ton more than
in 1960. The price differential
between Virginia’s and Runners
of $25.85 a ton has not been
changed. This means on a far
mer stock basis the Runner
type peanut will be supported
in the marketplace at $25.85 less
than the Virginia type peanut.
Considerable effort was made by
the Virginia - Carolina peanut
producer representatives and
shellers to have this spread re
duced in order that Virginia
type peanuts would not have a
price disadvantage as compared
to Runners. It is only natural
to assume that quality minors
being the same Iniyers will buy i
the peanuts which they can buy j
for less money.
In connection with the market
ing of peanuts, growers will see
additional grading equipment at
the buying points this year, this
being in the form of the pre
sizer and the sheller. The use
of this equipment has been or
dered by the Grading Service
and will be used at all buying
points. The use of this equip
ment should expedite the hand
ling of peanut grading and
should give a more accurate
grade on each sample of pea
nuts. Every effort should be
made from here out by the grow
er to see that he delivers the
best possible quality of pea-

TRY A HERALD CLASSIFIED I
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Significance for today of the
healing theology of Christ Jesus
will be explained at Christian
Science services Sunday.
Sariptural readings in the Les-’
son-Sermon entitled “Christ Je
sus” will include this verse from
Matthew (9): “And Jesus’ went
about all the cities and villages,
teaching, in their synagogues,
and preaching the .gosoel of the
kingdom, and healing every sick
ness and every disease among
j the people.”
I One; of the correlative cita-< l
tions to be read from “Science !
and Health with Key to the
Scriptures” by Mary Baker Ed
-1 dy states:
I , ‘The highest earthly repre
! sentative of God, speaking of ■
human ability to reflect divine
power, prophetically said to his
d sciples, speaking not for their
day only but for all time:. ‘He
that believeth on me, the works
that I do shall he do also;’ and
‘These signs shall follow them
that believe’.” (p. 52).
