Page Four STATE COLLEGE HINTS A little extra time and care will pay dividends when ironing. Your blouses will be restored to their proper shape more easily if ironed With the weave, not against it. to dry completely and then sprink- Some rayon fabrics wat er-spot even after they have been washed. This may be avoided by ironing rayons before completely dry. Use a moderate heat for rayons; too much heat weakens them. Be fore ironing a rayon garment, test the heat of the iron on an inside seam. There is no rule for all ray ons. If the iron sticks or the cloth crinkles, the iron is too hot. Keeping linens spotless: First, let’s wash them. Stains should, of course, be removed from your lin ens as soon as they are taken off your table. But if it is impossible to do so and they become “old” Stains, treat them as if they were NEW. For the quick removal of i grease stains, add Vt cup of wash ing soda dissolved in hot water to the cold water in which you soak them. Soak in your washer and run the machine about five min utes. Wash as usual. Think twice before you set wet shoes or overshoes on the hearth or near the stove to dry these winter days, clothing specialists urge. Wet leather may be hard ened so that it cracks, or may even be scorched by too much heat. Rubber may be weakened or even melted. Slow drying at ordinary room temperature prolongs the life of these clothing items. The rule of slow, safe drying also holds for fur and woolen clothes, which often are draped over hot radiators or hung too near the fire. Both wool and fur are especially fragile when wet- and may be damaged by strong heat. Low Prices Should Not Stop Poultrymen Poultrymen should not let cur rent low prices for broilers dis courage them from buying chicks now for future broiler production, says C. F. Parrish, in charge of ex ension poultry work at State Col lege. Parrish says it is to be expected that the broiler market will be come saturated occasionally and prices will decline below produc tiorl costs. But poultrymen should realized he says, that such a con dition is only temporary, and that it is necessary to produce broilers every week in the year if market outlets are to be maintained. The State College poultryman also points out that broiler chicks going into the brooder house now will not be ready for 3ale until the last of March, and indications are now that there will a scarcity of broilers on the market between 1 **'***<“, \ M iTTi I ‘ S -1 March 20 and April 15. Thus farmers who put in chicks now can expect to realize a fair return for their labor and investment. “Failure to put in broilers is unfavorable only tends to disrupt the supply of hatching eggs, baby chicks, and the poultry program in general,” says Parrish.

Farming Chats By Vernon Cornell Powers Farm Service Director Many farmers have taken ad vantages of the favorable weath er conditions for the last few j weeks Stalks are rapidly being cut and discing is well undetr way. Try to cultivate your land this spring without burning the fields before you plow. You will make your land richer because those stalks and grass turned un der contain plant food elements and organic matter that help to hold moisture in dry weather and permit drainage of the soil in wet weather. If you have a permanent pas ture, it is time to top-dress it with 600-800 by 0 14-14, or 0 12-12 fer tilizer. Do not graze your pasture INSURANCE For Automobile Accident and Liability, etc. Also Tobacco Bam and Pack House Insurance, See D. D. CH AMBUS too much during these warm days, give it a chance to get started be fore too heavy grazing. A few people have asked me about sowing a permanent pasture in the spring. I would not ad vise a farmer to do this because plants do not get a good start be fore the hot and dry weather comes. Spring seeded pastures should not be grazed and that’s hard not to do, especially where chickens run out at large. Money w'ill be saved and more satisfac tion gained from a fall-seeded pasture. My recommendations for sowing a pasture are: Have the soil ana lyzed for acidity if time permits. If not apply two tons of ground lime stone per acre now. You can purchase this lime through the P. M. A. office at a small cost. Plant the land to oats at the rate of four bushels per acre. Seed the land, using 25 pounds of lespedeza Card of Thanks May God bless each and every on ethat has helped us in any way during our recent loss.

If your telephone were the only one in town, it wouldn't be worth very much to you. It’s the people you can call and the people who can call you that makes telephone service mean so much. The value of your telephone increases as more new telephones are installed. Today there are more than twice as many telephones in service as there were before the war and new ones continue to go in at a record rate. Probably some of your friends or relatives are among these thousands upon thousands of new subscribers. Yes, it’s the other fellow’s telephone that helps to make yours so valuable. When you consider how much it does for you at the price you pay, telephone service stands out as one of today’s real bargains. •OUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY A* ymxk ”4* Jtobtlt cetfc Tuesday, January 24, 1949 around the first of March. This will give you spring and summer grazing. Turn the Lespedeza un der the last part of August and sow your permanent pasture mix ture, using 2 pounds of ladino clover and 12 pounds of Fescue or Orchard grass. You will be better satisfied if you will wait until next fall to seed your permanent pas ture. ■ 1 MEMORIALS 48th Year Many Employees of Unioniz ed Industries are striking for more pay.
