STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMEMAKER
By RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent
I Possibly not enough homemak
j ers are aware of their prestige in
I affairs financial. These statistics
j should bloster us: women control
70 to 80 per cent of the nation's
I wealth; they own 50 per cent of
? the stock in large corporations, 57
' per cent of savings bank deposits
and make 42 per cent of all in
I come tax returns: they do 85 per
| cent of the buying for the home
I and family, and directly influence
i the other 15 per cent. With that
j much money passing through their
fingers in one way or another, it's
up to the homemakers to accumu
t
late as much financial wisdom as
they can for this big responsibility
they carry in getting their money's
worth. I
Occasionally starch sticks to
your iron. This happens most
frequently when ironing curtains
or loosely woven materials, and
it's due to the fact that there's
not enough material to absorb the
starch. A very fine non-abrasive
cleaner or some fine steel wool
rubbed lightly over the shoe will
remove all of the starch. If you,
have trouble with starch sticking!
on the iron from regular cotton?
garments, it may be due to the
fact that the water was not boil
ing rapidly before pouring it into
the starch. This is very important
as starch not thoroughly cooked
before going into the fabric will
cook when it comes in contact with
the heat of the iron and then peel
off the clothes and cling to the
hot shoe.
Sprinkling starched clothes for
ironing is very important if you
want the finished garment to look
right. Heavily starched clothes j
should be much damper than
lightly starched or unstarched
clo:hes. It is important to sprinkle
the starched pieces at least 4 to
0 hi urs ahe.d of ironing.

ANSWERS TIMELY
fARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION ? Where can I ob
tain information on improving my
lawn? ;
ANSWER ? Obtain a copy of
Extension Circular No. 292, "Car
olina Lawns," which was prepar
ed by John H. Harris and Dr. Roy
L. Lovvorn. This publication has
recently been reprinted and copies
are available from your county
agent or from the Agricultural
Editor, State College Station, Ral
eigh. It gives complete informa
tion on lawn grasses and clovers,
preparing the land, fertilization
and seeding, and lawn mainten
nance.
QUESTION ? What is the ges
tation period ? for rabbits?
ANSWER ? The gestation pe
riod, or the period from mating
to kindling, is 31 to 32 days. A
very small percentage of litters'
may be kindled as early as the i
29th or as late as the 35th day, but |
98 per cent of the normal litters!
will be kindled between the 30th'
I
and 33rd days.
QUESTION i? How does mois
ture content affect the yield of
corn? |
ANSWER ? U. S. Standard No.
2 grade corn calls for a moisture
content of 15.5 per cent, and all
moisture above that figure must
be deducted in calculating pound- ,
age for yield. In Watauga Coun
ty, Ernest Hillard harvested 8,791
pounds of corn from one acre, and
Ralph Norris harvested 8,844
pounds from an acre. Yet, after
a test for moisture, Hillard had
a yield of 115.1 bushels and Nor
ris only 112 bushels. Even though
the crops were produced in the
same community, Hillard's com
had a moisture content of 21.7 per
cent and Norris' 24 per cent. Dr.
E. R. Collings says farmers are
selling .dry corn from this year's
crop without knowning how much
is required to make a bushel.
Transylvania County has solved
this problem by supplying a mois
ture tester for the county agent's
office. "Farmers desiring to sell
corn simjfly have the moisture
content checked there.
