Problems About
HOMES
Q. What is meant bv a "laundry
tray?"
A. It is merely another name for a
laundry tub.
Q. The baseboard in some of our
rooms has pulled away from the floor
and shows a big crack; can you sug
gest a remedy?
A. If there is not molding at the
junction of the baseboard and the floor,
have one installed, and be sure that
it is nailed through to the under floor
ing, it there is such molding already
have it taken off and properly installed.
without having to take down the old
plaster?
A. Yes; there is a simple way of
getting a tine smooth ceiling without
disturbing the old. Stretch decora
tors' canvas acro.ss the entire Ceil
ing just far enough below it to es
cape the lowest point and fasten it to
the walls with a molding. When
painted this will be taut and smooth
anil will look well. You must be sure,
however, that the old plaster is not
loose. If it is, it will probably fall
on the canvas and spoil the smooth
effect. Better remove the loose plas
ter first.
Explains How
Tobacco Quotas
Are Determined
Q. Is it necessary to lire the back
of book shelves with wood?
A. No, it is not; just set the skel
eton frame against the interior finish
of the wall.
Q. The ceilings of our house, which
is old, have been patched and repatch
ed so many times that they are dis
graceful looking. Is there any way
that a smooth surface con be applied
Q. The floor of my living room is
is almost always cold. We have a
cellar under the room. The floor is a
single one, and the beams are open in
the cellar. If I put a ceiling in the
cellar, would that help eliminate the
coldness of the living room floor?
A. Yes; it should help a great deal.
Be sure, however, that the space be
tween the beams at the outside walls
is well insulated and that there are
fire stops between the studs of the
outside walls to stop drafts.

Q. What is the best location for a
light switch in a living room ?
A. There should be a switch near
the entrance door to the livinir room.
if it is at some distance from the hall
doorway, to permit lighting the room
without having to pass through the
room first. A three-way switch at
the entrance door and at the hall door
permits switching light on or off at
either place without retracing steps.

.Many Factors Enter Into Analy
sis Of Finding Out Indivi
dual Quotas
A brief 'outline of how tobacco
quotas were determined for this
year has been issued by K. Y, Floyd,
AAA executive ctlicer at Slate Col
lege, for growers who have been ask
ing how the quotas, were calculated.
Among the things taken into con
sideration, he said, were -the marketings'-from
each tobacco farm during
the past three years, the acreage di
verted from tobacco under the AAA
and agricultural conservation pro
grams, the total crop land on the
farm, the acreage planted to tobacco
this year, the number of families on
the farm, and the -number and size
of curing barns.
The farm's normal. 'yield per acre,
based on the past three years, Was
also used in the calculations, and
adjustments were made for abnormal
yields due to insects, disease, drought,
and other conditions over which the
farmers had no control.
Since the normal marketing for a
farm was figured on a basis that
included 1!.'I5 yields, the highest on
record, and also included the acre
age diverted under the AAA, the
(juntas for 19I1S were calculated at
less than the normal marketing Fig
ure. The four ''per cent increase in the
state quota was used to increase the I
individual quotas of growers who
had been cut more than 70 per cent
under their normal marketings.
Floyd added that the state AAA
office is carefully checking over the
information used in determining
quotas, and wherever any errors
are found, they are being corrected.

in town on business.
A severe shortage of milk seems
quite probable in many parts of the
state this fall, according to the Stale
Board of Health in a recent formal
statement.
rive reasons are listed for the
dieted shortage:
First, according to statistics, there
are l.).(Hi0 fewer cows in the state
now than in U,'!ii.
Second. 1 ::.rT cows nave reacted
to Hang's disease since 1!U54. Of
the L'?5 cows tested in Haywood
county, 10 per cent have reacted.
Third, the period just passed has
been one of the heaviest periods for
milk, and experience shows a let up
after such periods.
Fourth, while the cow population
has decreased, the larger towns, the
principal milk markets, have shown
a marked increase.
Fifth, the consumption of milk ha
increase from .:!,r)i'i of a pint per per
