STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMEMAKER;
By VERNA STANTON
Assistant 8tate Agent
When buying clothes or fabrics
to make them, it often pays to be
weather-wise say textile special
ists of the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture. Here are some sugges
tions from the scientists for fab
rics to suit different kinds of
weather and why.
For protection against cold, good
insurance is a combination of
thickness and fuzziness in cloth
ing fabrics. Thick fabrics, espe
cially those of wool, hold in body
heat better than thin materials.
A fuzzy or coarse-textured sur
face on the fabric feels warmer
than a smooth cloth of the same
thickness because it makes less
contact with the skin and encloses
a layer of air warmecLby the body.
For clothing to be worn in "frof
surroundings, fabrics that are thin
and flat are most comiortable.
Sheer cottons and linens are most
satisfactory for hot climates be
cause they absorb perspiration
readily and dry quickly.
Foi; wind protection the con
struction of the fabric is impor
tant. A closely woven fabric slows
up the flow of air whereas a loose
ly constructed: material lets air
pass through freely. On a cold
windy day a person actually may
feel warmer in a closely woven
cotton coat or jacket than in a
heavy, knitted wool sweater.
' For rain protection closely wov
en fabrics which have been given
special treatment to make them
shed water are good choices. These
may be bought by the yard or in
ready-to-wear garments. Sun fab
rics generally can be identified by
a label.
Advice On Hay Making
Given By Specialist
Protein is the most valuable
constituent in hay and usually the
most expensive to get, according
to Dr. R. L. Loworn, professor of
Agronomy at State College, and
when making hay, especially le
gume hay, this should always be
kept in mind.
The best time to cut hay is when
the protein content is on the rise,
the specialist said, adding that al
falfa gives the most in hay value
if cut when approximately one
fourth in bloom. The first crop, in
the bud stage, has about 23 per
cent protein, but .about 20 per cent
when one-tenth in bloom, and only
17 ,per cent when in full bloom.
The percentage of protein in
creases until one-tenth in bloom
and then decreases until full
bloom.
Where mixed hay crops are
gi own, especially those containing
considerable clover or alfalfa, they
should be cut during the most fa
vorable time for whatever legume
predominates. If the hay mixture
contains a low percentage of le
gume, it is best to cut the crop at
about the usual time for cutting
the timothy or other grasses, he
said.

Why Is It Coming?
Many observers are of opinion
now that the nation may expect a
considerable business recession by
August or September. It is expected
that this recession will be reason
ably severe and might lastJor_six
months. Some expect it to bring
bankruptcy to a good many busi- ,
nesses that are weak financially, |
create unemployment, and maybe I
interrupt production seriously.
President Truman is so much
alarmed that he is asking industry
to reduce priccs of commodities in
order to help cushion the expected
recession. Fears are that it might
develop into a real depression. In
view of our huge national debt and
? the fact that we must maintain a
high national income, this prospect
is rather serious. Naturally, we are
asking ourselves: "Why must it
come?"
It is on the way because every
thing is entirely too high. Homes
are too high, manufactured goods
are too hifth, food is too high?
everything is too high. People are
refusing to pay the prices. They are
going to continue to refuse until
something is done about it. Now, ?
why do not the industrialists just
immediately lower prices until |
there would be no talk of de
pression?
That's impossible. Prices are reg
ulated by costs. In manufacturing a
price is charged tisat covers the
cost. Big item in cost is usually
labor, which averages 50 or 60 or
70%, and as much as 85%, of a fin
ished article. Now the fable. When
the war was over the President's
Secretary of Coihmerce, Mr. Henry
Wallace, recommended that in the
automobile industry wages could go
up 30% without increasing the
prices of automobiles at all.
If that could have happened in the
automobile industry, of course, it
could have happened also in many
other industries. Labor was encour
aged to demand a 30% boost, which
they were told should bring no price
increases. The facts, however, were
'on the other side of the fence. After
an 18Mb cent increase was granted
auto workers, and even before OPA
died, automobile prices had to be
increased In average of 22%. Other
industries granted similar raises
and prices went on moving upward.
Labor soon realized that it had
lost all its gains in the higher costs
of living. Wh?n we get far enough
from the present problems to size
them up more accurately and when
a correct history is finally written,
it will probably be explained that
wage boosts in the fall and winter of
1M5-46, more than any other one
thing, were responsible for the in
flated prices that followed. This is
what now threaten# to make depres
sion inevitable.
If our government could have
found in 1945 enough backbone for
a firm stand against increases in
wages and prices, urging instead a
high productivity to get the nation
back on its feet as quickly as pos
sible, then the present feared de
pression would have been mere
talk. But when the general inflation
ary rise in wages and a correspond
ing inflationary rise in prices came,
all thinking people agreed that
finally a depression would probably
come. We may get back to a rea
sonable level that way, but even yet
we could use a much better way,

Slip into this one ? and you'll
have to hang on tight to keep
your spirits from soaring right out
of this world.
There's no trimmer, tidier,
fresher bit of automotive styling
anywhere in sight, and never in
your life have you had more of the
makings of fun and adventure
right at your finger tips.
You handle a wheel that seems
moved more by your wishes than
your muscle.
You boss a big Fireball straight
eight whose mission in life is tam
ing tall mountains and making the
miles cry "Uncle t"
You take your ease on broad, soft
Deepflcfx cushions ? flick the
proper control, and the door win
dows run up to serve as wind
screens, the top swings into place
and simply Terrific
against a sudden storm, or the
front seat adjusts itself to your
perfect comfort.
All the while there's the good
steady feel of Buick solidity be
neath you. There's the fluent, easy
stride of wheels cushioned all
around by gentle coil springs.
There's size ? and room ? and
levelness ? and that mastery of
good roads and bad found only in
a performer that's built to star in
any company.
A buy? But naturally! Nowhere
but in Buick will you find all this
smartness ? nowhere but in a
Convertible do Buick power, size,
comfort and steadiness pay off so
handsomely in sheer joy in going
places.
So count yourself lucky if your
order's in. Or, if it isn't, count
yourself smart if you nail one
down without further urging.
For while we'll take your order
any time, with or without a car to
trade, only you can make sure (by
placing your order) that no one
else is going to. get ahead of you.
