QUESTION: Why is it best to
transplant perennial flowers in ear
ly autumn?
ANSWER: Soon after leaf fall
in autumn there is a period of ac
tive growth which continues until
the ground freezes. If this root
growth can take place just after the
plants are divided and replanted,
the plants will suffer less setback
and give better performances next
spring and summer.
QUESTION: How can I keep my
subfloor from decaying?
ANSWER: Roll roofing or other
effective moisture barrier, laid on
the soil beneath a basement build
ing, has proved to be a cheap, ef
fective, and practical means of re
ducing crawl-space dampness,
which frequently leads to decay of
subfloor timbers. *

New Tables \
Tell About --J
Milk Yield
Dairymen can get a reliable esti
mate of how much milk a young
cow will give at maturity by using
tables giving “age conversion fac
tors” which they can obtain from
the Department of Agriculture.
“Age conversion factors” cannot
only help an individual farmer de
cide whether a young cow is worth
keeping, but also furnish the means
of making an early analysis of her
sire’s desirability as a breeding ani
mal.
The “conversion factors” used
by USDA in estimating a cow’s ca
pacity vary slightly with the age
of the cow and with different
breeds, but they are simple enough
so that anyone can use them. Farm
ers can obtain tables giving the
conversion factors fro mthe Dairy
Husbandry Research Branch, U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington 25, D. C.
These tables have been used for
many years by scientists conduct
ing the nationwide Dairy Herd Im
provement Association’s sire-prov
ing program.
Within the last year, the figures
have been revised to reflect more
accurately difference in production
of animals,of different ages. Ayr
shire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Hol
stein, Jersey, and Shorthorn, are
included.
The new conversion factors cut
possible margin of error in estimat
ing a cow’s mature production to a
minimum, according to a DHIA
spokesman.
It is estimated that 46.5 per cent
of the 1954 com acreage in North
Carolina was planted with hybrid
seed—the highest rate of hybrid
seeding of record.

SOAP AND WATER GET.
THINGS CLEAN—Wash ash trays!
in soapsuds; mere wiping with a,
dry cloth won’t remove stale ash
odors.
Avoid bathtub “rings” by using!
a spoonful of synthetic detergent
in the bath water. Scouring powder
on a soapy cloth cleans enamel sur
faces twice as fast. Pour hot suds
in the toilet bowl before scrubbing
with a long-handled brush.
Can Openers—Keep them clean.
Wash with soap and hot water aft
er each use. Food left on the blade
may spoil, contaminating food as
other cans are opened. For the cut
ting wheel (wall or hand model)
use a soapy brush on the cutting'
edge. Every now and then, treat
this type to a quick sink-soaping
without soaking. Oil the mechanism
at intervals.
Furniture—Dusting and polish
ing keep surfaces bright and attrac
tive only if the wood beneath the
polish is really clean. “Dry” soap
suds, applied with a soft cloth in a
circular motion, are excellent to
wash wood. Do a small area at a
time, wiping with an almost-dry
rinse cloth, then a bone-dry cloth.
Hatbands—Men’s leather sweat
bands collect oil and soil. Tumittie
band up from the hat, scrub with
soapy brush, wipe with rinse cfoth.
