i Farm^kews timely farm questions and ANSWERS QUKBTION: Are eU'ctrically heated bee liiws being used in this Stale,! ANSWER: Yes. W. A. Step hen, extension beekeeper at State College, says a Watanffii Oounty farmer, Rayniond IVcsnell of ShulU Mills,, is usiiit? electrie- ally heated iiives this year to winter over sniitll colonies of bees. Presnell belioves that by wintering over small *f)lonies he can save considerabl^ honey tliat strong colonies would eonsume. The (‘lectricit.y will enable the colonies to start bro(Ml-rearIng and expanding their hn»od nests eftrly next spring. Thus the sniAll colonies aliould coni(vi through the winter nnd biiild up next spring to be equivalent to colonies going through the winter with much l«rg(‘r popula tions.

IIow should this flower be eared fori ANSWER: John Harris, the “Tar Heel Gardener," says the flower should be placed in a light window where the tempera ture is steady and eool, as low as G5 da^ees If possible. At night it should be kept at a temperature of about UO, but not much lower. Draughts should be avoided, since they are deadly to poinsettias. High heat, sudden chilling, and very dry atmosphere also are disastrous. An ea.sy way to increase the humidity is to keep the pot standing on pebbles in another (rontain(*r writh water under the |)ebbles. Never allow the plant to bceonie dry, but on the other hand don’t flood it. Under fav orable conditions the flower should last until February. Harris says it isn’t easy, but th(f poin.settia can be saved for another year. When the red leaves drop, put it in the cellar or some place where it won’t freeze, and let it dry \ip. Next spring about the time oak leaves ear half growjv, bring it put, shake the soil from the roots, re pot it in new soil, fertilize, and cut it back to within four to eight inches of the soil. Then bury the pot outdoors in a semi- shady place. Next fall when the nights begin to get cool, bring it indoors, place it in a sunny window, and treat it like other house plants except keep it dark nt night. Artificial lights at night will keep it from bloom ing. Around Christmas time, when the days are short, if all has gone well it will flower a- feuiii. New plans can. be pro pagated by making euttiiigB in July or August. The cuttings should be roote^i in moist sand' under shade.

HINTS TO HOMEMAKERS By Ruth Current State Home Demonstration Agent What to know when you buy a lamp 1 Home management spe cialists say consider more than looks and price when shopping for floor or table lamps. Any lamp that w'ill be used for read ing, studying, sewing or other close work needs to be construct ed to give plenty of clear, soft, glareless light. For a good buy in such a lamp, here are features to look for: SiJte: Be aure the lamp is tall enough and has a sliaiic )in*ad 'nough at the bottom to .'^pr ;ni a wide circle of light. Bowl: sure the lamp has a has a diffusing (reflector) bowl under the sihade to prevent glare and soften light. 'I’he howl should be of gooI (luality pla.stie or^hite diffusing glass of even thickness throughout. Bulb; Ijamps equipped for three-light bulbs are most use ful bt'cailse the light can be a«l- justed to suit diffi rent needs. Shade: Select shinies broal at the bottom, deep* enough to coiu'cal the diffusing bowl and with a white lining to rifTeet light. A white or i%ory shade gives about 50 per cenf more light thati a dark shad*‘ which absorbs and thus wastes .light. Many people like sliadi's which are dark on the outside but they should always have a white lin ing. Bath towels — preserve their life and beauty. f)» not let y(»ur towels beconu/too soiled or girni\- but launder them often in hot, soapy water. Kiuse tiioro\i'jfhly. This keej)s the towels I'luffy and soft. Towels that are not rinsel properly will become .stiff and scratchy and will not ahsorb moisture easily. Hang colored towels in the shade to ]j)reveiit fadings Stretch into shape while still wet. You do not iron terry cloth towels for this decreases absorbency also. Check selvages and clip loose ends. Tiies! pre cautions should add years of life and beauty to your loveliest towels. The location of the outlet where the electric iron cord plugs in may seem an unimpor tant detail to the man who wires the house. Rut to the woman who does the Ironing, a convenient location for this particular out let saves time and effort and makes for a better ironing job, say the home management spe cialists. For efficient work the cord should not drag or catch YOUR FUTURE OUTLOOK Bull City Barber College PREPARE FOR YOUR FUTURE NOW Approved by the North Carolina Board of Barber Examiners and the Veteran’s Administration. * A.

'I’hi' Ix'st place for the ruitlet is alM)ve and I'o tlie front of the linard, the tests of hand ironing showed.' The best hef'-'ht is 36 inehes or m»re above the l>oard. The most convenient jxisition is on n wall faced by the worker; next best, on a wall to the side (right side for right-handed workers); least eHivenient, on the wall in back. An overhead outlet alwi makes for convenient ironing if it is within easy n‘aeh.

The, "total health program at North Carolina College was started in 1941 as an outgrowth of a Child Health Conference conducted in the Summer School. Under the guidance of the late Dr. Shepard and Dr. Morgan, the program progressed to a point in 1947 that it received an a[)propriation from the State Legislature of $*200.fKM) for an Infirmary and Health Building.' At this time construction on the building is making rapid pro gress and it Jh expect^ that dedication ceremonies wnl soon be held. As succes.sor to Dr. Shepard, President Elder has not only had the good fortune to con tinue to have the cooperation of Dr. Morgan,' but he has aLsr) demonstrated his interest in the prograni by obtaining s\ibstant ial grants from national foun dations to assure the future of of the program.
