How To Wash Blankets Wash bindings of blankets first by brushing or sponging them with suds, on a table, be fore wetting the entire blanket. Wash one blanket at a time Washing time "should be from two to three minutes. Never drain off dirty water while the blanket is still in the washer. Support it gently with your hands while lifting it out of the water. Rinse thoroughly in luke warm water, wringing or spin ning between each rinsing. Be sure the wringer is adjusted loosely. To dry, fold blanket from binding to binding. Hang in the shade over two parallel clothes lines. When dry, brush blanket gently with a soft brush to rinse the nap. Press only the bindings, using a moderately ?warm Iron, while bindings are still slightly damp. Hide Eyes From Glare Shield your eyes with dark glasses shaped to compliment your face.

Single Raindrop i Tells The Story Of Soil Erosion | A single raindrop falling on ] a field of unprotected soil may go unnoticed ? but that single raindrop tells the story of ero sion. according to J. H. Enloe. Jr.. chairman of the Macon County PMA committee. As the drop of water hits the soil, it splashes. In the spray that comes up are tiny soil particles which are moved from where they were. Where the raindrop hits, a film is formed by the mixture of water and soil. There is a breakdown of soil structure. While a single raindrop does little harm, it does demonstrate the beginning of erosion ? how tons and tons of topsoil are car | ried away, the chairman said. In a heavy rain, soil crumps are broken up and the soil par ticles are churned into a pud dle. This puddling seals the sur face of the soil and starts the little collections of water that grow into a stream. The soil particles lifted into the air b^ the splashing raindrops fall back farther down tile slope. As the water moves down the slope, the loosened soil particles are carried along with. it. It is because a protective cov er is so important in checking this raindrop bombing of loose soil that the Agricultural Con servation program provides as sistance to aid farmers in estab lishing and improving pastures and cover crops, Mr. Enloe ex plained. When a- faindrp^ falls on a blade ot grass or a clover leaf, it loses its destructive force. Instead 01 tlie soil par ticles being brpkc-n up. the rain drop itself is shattered and more water soaks into the soil. ? State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q.

How can farmers be sure | of getting good quality seeds for increased yields and high j quality crops? A. One of the safest guaran- ; tees is the presence of the blue j tag of the N. C. Crop Improve- I ment association on the seed bag. This class of seeds has be come widely accepted by pro gressive North Carolina farm ers because it has been develop ed for their particular needs.
