How well white shoes survive
the summer depends considerbly
on how they are cleaned, clothing
specialists say. White shoes, which
take so much cleaning, need to be
treated so that they will last and
look well.
Specialists say clean or polish
shoes in the evening, so they will
be thoroughly dry for the morn
ing’s wear and have a firm finish
to resist soil. Because moist
leather is weak and easily stretch
ed out of shape, liquid cleaner
should not be applied to shoes on
the feet or just before wearing.
First step in cleaning is to
brush off dust, mud, and old, dry
cleaner.
The dressing or polish best to
use depends on the type of shoes.
No one preparation suits all white
shoes. The label should tell the
kind of leather or fabric on which
the preparation is to be used. Gen
erally, white shoe soap is best for
smooth leather because it cleans
without drying or hardening

leather. Cleaning powder may be
better than liquid cleaner for
white seude or other napped leath
er. Dressing that contains whiting
or chalk may be used successfully
on cloth shoes, but, before apply
ing, brush off the leavings of pre
vious applications.
Shoes worn without stockings
need cleaning inside as well as out,
unless protected by socks that fit
inside shoes. Rub out the inside
of the shoes frequently with a
cloth moistened with soapy water,
but take care not to get shoes wet
with too much water. Powder in
shoes helps against perspiration
damage.

How can I prevent aromatic to
bacco from being damaged by
mold after it has been sun-cured
and is hanging in the barn?
Roy H. Crouse, extension agron
omy specialist, State College, says
growers can reduce the chances
of molding and barn-scalding by
adding some heat to the building
during periods of bad weather.
When damp weather occurs,
says Crouse, the heat in buildings
housing curing racks should be
kept at 90 to 100 degrees. In this
way the curing process can be
continued in the barn. Curing
takes from eight to 12 days under
ideal weather conditions. Then
the tobacco is ready to be put up
in temporarily bales ready for
market.
