Look for the pan that "hugs the stove," fits the burner or electric unit underneath, and has a close-fitting lid. When white cotton or linen goods, such as sheets, curtains, or tablecloths, have stayed long in storage, sometimes the fabric isn't white as it once was. It has yellowed in spots or all over. A textile chemist says to try the simplest remedy first. Launder the yellowed article carefully and hang it in the sun to bleach as it dries. Orf dampen the discolored area and spread the article out in the sun. If sun bleaching fails to work, a commercial packaged bleach may be used. Follow the directions on the package. If a bleach solution is made at home, one of the safest to apply is sodium perborate in a cup of water and soak the stained place for a minute or two. Rinse, and repeat if necessary. To treat a larger stain, prepare the solution in larger proportions. Whatever the kind of bleach, be sure to wash it out of the fabric at once, after treatment. One cause of yellowing during long storage is a chemical change that corneal with- aging of the fiber. Heat of some storage places, such as attics, and also light may hasten this effect. Soap left in a fabric for a long time may cause yellow stain. So may tea and coffee, which often produce faint stains at first which darken with time. Iron rust is another yellow | stain which can develop, due to some iron compound in blueing or wash water. Storage trouble with such stains on white goods can be reduced by pre-storage care. Have articles thoroughly clean before storing, the textile chemist advises. Wash out any soap or bluing. If fabrics have been treated with chlorine bleaches in laundering, neutralize the chlorine with a little vinegar in the rinse water and thenrinse in clear water. Then store the articles where 1 1 Ml _ A I 1 %_*_ A ^ _ tney win get Desi possioie protection from heat apd from light. FARMERS!

' THE STATE COLLEGE FARMER'S AID | QUESTION ? How should plant beds for Turkish tobacco be prepared? ANSWER ? In the same manner as those for flue-cured tobacco, according to W. D. Lewis, Turkish tobacco specialist of the State College Extension Service. Since a large number of plants is required to set an area of aromatic tobacco where plants are set in 20-inch v rows and"- five inches in the drill, the grower should seed 100 square yards of plant bed for each quarter-acre of tobacco. The bed should be located on a southern or southeastern slope where the soil is fertile and welldrained. The site should be free of shade. After the soil has been worked, says Lewis, 160 pounds . of 4-9-3 fertilizer should be used j for each 100 square yards of bed. After the seed have been sown, the bed should be covered with ' regular tobacco plant bed canvas. , If the season is dry, the bed should be watered at seed germinating time.

Writ# to the Agricural Editor, State College Station, Raleigh, and ask for a copy of Extension Folder No. 67, 4tGraze Hogs for 12 Months," which has recently been revised. This publication, prepared by Jack Kelley. animal husbandry extension specialist at State College, emphasizes the importance of thorough planning in order to have pasture every month in the year. Kelley says Ladino clover makes one of the best hog pastures for dry sows, boars, and hogs being fattened for market. This is a permanent pasture, he says, and should not be used more than one out of every three years for sows nursing pigs in order to control worms. Ladinc clover should be seeded in August , i o i i ii i ? u : 11 ana acpiemoer, so inui mere wu'i iSi? qu you look at that amazingly low prio ok at Ford's "Fashion Car" styling.

A streamlined registration system this year permitted most of the 5,500 day students at Washington University to register in approximately a half hour to forty-five minutes each. The change was brought about by separating the advistory functions from the sectioning process. I AH class changes and problemj were taken care of in Francis Gym while.the actual signing and sectioning took place in the Field House, thus preventing the lengthy line-forming which previous*ly occurred when one student at the head of the line had some difficulties to be solved.
