Stale College Tips
To the Housewife
—t—
A little touch of seasoning can
make the difference between a
salad with personality and one
that is flat taking. Most salad
dressings can be made from three
basic recipes — French dressing,
mayonnaise, and cooked salad
dressing. They all keep well if
tightly covered and stored in a
cool place, so make a batch of
oac.i to have on hand for the busy
shopping and holidays at hand.
Try adding a pinch of "this” and
“that” until you get the flavor to
suit your taste.
Basic French Dressing: 1-2 tea
spoon paprika, 2 tablespoons vin
egar, 4 tablespoons oil. Mix in the
order given and shake well just
before serving. Serve on any kind
of vegetable salad.

Engineer Tells
Dry Wall Secret
Many people with new homes
report that their walls “sweat” ,
in the winter time.
The reason for it, believes R.
M. Ritchie, Jr., agricultural en- *
gineev.ng extension specialist at
N. C. State College, is the tenden- j
cy to build new homes with mod
erate sized rooms and tight walls
to keep out cold and conserve
fuel. “The air in the house doesn’t
change often, so the moisture gen
the house can't get out.”
he explains. j
Modern home owners also are
constantly adding more equip
ment that releases moisture into
.ne air. “A moderate amount of
moisture condensation on win
dows in cold weather is to be ex
peeled," says the specialist. “Rut
if water colects in quantities, it's
not only annoying, but may cause
window sashes and frames to rot
and result in damage to wall fin
ishes.”
Here are Rit hie's suggestions
for cutting down moisture. Turn
off any heating equipment design
ed to release moisture into the
air. Don’t dry clothes' inside the
house, and be sure to vent auto
matic driers with outside air.
Provide a flue or vent to carry
away burnt gases if you heat your
home with gas burning equip
ment Run your kitchen ventilat
ing fan, if you have one, when
cooking releases large amounts of
moisture. Opening a window
slightly near the stove will help
to get rid of moisture-laden air.
Keep the bathroom door closed
and open a window to release
moist air after taking a hot show
er or running hot water. If these
measures don’t solve your prob
lem, Ritchie says you may need
to open windows at retrain times
of the day to keep down humidity.
Using storm windows to keep
inner window glass warmer will
also help to reduce condensation,
says the State College specialist.

Gates Farmer Has
Good Peanut Crop
—j—
Use of recommended practices
lies enabled N. L. Nowell, Negro
farmer of Hobbsville, Gates Coun
ty, to make an outstanding yield
of peanuts on his farm.
According* to H. L. Mitchell,
Negro county agent in Gates for
the State College Extension Ser
vice. Nowell has spent a good bit ■
of time attending test farm meet
ings and training schools. Last j
spring he attended an agronomy
school conducted by E. R. Collins |
of State College, and he also was'
present at a field meeting on pea
nut production at the Upper
Coastal Plain Experiment Station.
Nowell resolved that he would
put into practice as much of the
information as he could. He used
10 pel cent potash lime at the
rate of GOO pounds per acre and
planted his peanuts as early as
practical. In the summer he used
.sulphur dust on his entire crop
I with exception of a half-acre
cheek where a dusting demonstra
turn was held. In this plot he used
eeppei sulphur dust ai^l sulphur
