STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKERS By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent To preserve the fresh, new look of good grooming, to lengthen the life of lovely woolens, follow these few easy rules: BRUSH often. Dust particles, of ten invisible to the eye, settle in creases, pocket crevices, under lapel areas, cuffs and pleats, and Bet up an abrasive action injuri ous to the fabric. A brisk once-over with a soft firm-bristled brush will do a lot to lengthen a garment's life. Mud spots brush out easily af ter drying. Powder stains may need a damp sponge. LET THEM BREATHE. Hang each wool garment on a well-shap ed hanger after each wearing. Nev er pack wool garments together tightly in a closet. Free circula tion of air helps rid the garment of wrinkles because the elastic wool fibers spring back to their normal shape after the day's strain. TREAT STAINS PROMPTLY. Every minute counts in stain re moval. Take the stained garment to a reliable cleaner without delay and tell him what the stain is so he can treat it before it "sets." If 70U try to clean it yourself use only those cleaners which you know are reliable and use only those with which you have had ex perience. IF YOU'RE CAUGHT IN THE RAIN. Dry away from heated rad iators or hot sun. Heat dries out wool fibres, makes them brittle. After the garment is dry, brush it thoroughly. HOME PRESSING. Correct pressing between trips to the clean ers will add seasons of extra wear. Here's how: Always use a pressing cloth, a firm, well-washed canvas or several thicknesses of old sheet ing. Never apply iron directly. A too-hot iron will scorch and break wool fibers. Place wool gar ments on a smooth, well-padded board, cover with dry pressing cloth, sponge cloth with warm wat er, apply iron lightly and stop pressing before material is quite dry. Place garment on a well-shap ed hanger and let dry in natural lines. Press hems, collars, lapels and other heavy parts first, start ing on the wrong side. Slip paper under seam edges when pressing to avoid leaving max*ks on the right side. NATIONAL FARM NEWS Extension work has become a motive force for greater agricul tuarl production and better rural life in many countries around the world. Generally speaking, the protein in one cut of beef has practically the same nutritive value as that in any other cut from the same ani mal. Meat production under Federal inspection for the week ended No vember 26 totaled 320 million pounds.
