Agent In the past ten years, the number of women on the nation's work force has increased drastically. In fact, more women are working or want to work full-time today thin at any other time in this country’s history. As a result, the lifestyles of our country hiave changed. Today, forty four percent of the women in thi& country work either full time or part time. Three out of five of these working women are also married women who formerly held the responsibi lities of child rearing and housecleaning only and now must divide their time be twsfen these domestic respon sibilities and a full or part-time job. Even the women who are presently opting for a full time homemaking career plan to return to the work force sometime in the future-per haps when their children are reared.

Birnal |l - J it *f County.... *7°°! : i re.... zip * bscription ■ between the attitudes and lifestyles of the working woman and the stay-at-home housewife is closing rapidly for several reasons/ One reason is that many women who are now traditional housewives worked at one time. Furthermore, half of those housewives who now are at home full-time plan to return to work in the future. This means that of the total number of women, only 25 percent plan to never work. Thus, the lifestyles of 75 percent of the women in this country who are working now or will be in the future do have similarities. Like her working sister, the housewife who plans to return to the work force someday expresses yearnings for novelty and change and a desire for simplification. They are more casual in their approach to housework and more relaxed about giving up many of the rituals of traditional house wifery than are the “stay-at home housewives.” soil analysis made. This is a free service provided by the N. C. Department of Agriculture. If you don’t soil test, general recommendations are a vailable from county ex tension offices. You can also pick up recommend ed seeding rates for the various crops there, too. ★ ★ You’ve heard of “iron poor blood?" There is such a thing as iron-poor plants, too. The symptoms include chlorosis in the leaves, causing them to become yellowish or even white. Iron is a minor element in the soil, but plants need it to make chloro phyll. The iron becomes unavailable to the plant when the pH of the soil is too high. In other words, the calcium or lime content of the soil is too high and the soil becomes too “sweet.” This is the opposite of what usually happens in Tar Heel soils, which are naturally acid, or sour, in most cases. Plants that like an acid soil include azaleas, rho dodendrons, camellias and gardenias. To correct an iron de ficiency, two things can be done, suggest North Carolina State University extension horticulturists. You can have your soil tested and adjust the pH to a desired range. This can be done by using sulphur or aluminum sul phate to lower the pH or using lime to raise it. This treatment is rela- JLvely slow but better in the long run, since it will allow the plants to ab sorb the iron they need through the roots. A quicker method of overcoming iron deficien cy is foliar feeding. Use chelated iron as a spray. This material is usually available under various trade names at garden supply stores. Be sure to follow label directions for mixing and using. WORKING WOMAN HAS LESS TIME One fact is a certainty-the working woman has less time. She has more disposable income and less disposable hours. She will continue to be on the outlook for time-saving shortcuts to accomplish for merly time-consuming tasks. She will be more selective in the goods and services she buys, making sure that they will perform the way she wants them to. The working woman will indulge in occa sional luxuries which her extra income allows her, however, her buying will have an underlying “functiona lism” approach. Because she has less time, she welcomes shortcuts.to household tasks. She is more likely to use convenience foods than her non-working counterpart. Many busy homemakers have discovered that it’s easier to prepare double batches of casseroles and other dishes and freeze one for later in the week. It’s very little extra work and saves time in the kitchen later.

C. State University An attic sale and a petting zoo may not seem similar at first glance. But they were both things that an organiza tion could do to earn some money, members of Mecklenburg County’s 4-H clubs believed. They were right. The sale-zoo event, held at a shopping mall, at tracted more than 1,000 adults and children and netted the 4-H’ers several hundred dollars. Top sellers at the attic sale were books, plants, housewares, appliances, clothes and toys, adds Mrs. Sue Cole, assistant extension agent, 4-H. , Zoo animals included ponies, lambs, rabbits, chickens and ducks.

That may sound like a silly question, but think about it a minute. What it really means is: Do you spend too much of your time do ing laundry? There are many tittle economical shortcuts that can help you cut down on wasted tirq$ —and money, 7 . too—without sacrificing results. Start by asking yourself, “Does this really need to be washed?” Take towels, for example. You can cut your towel load in half by making one towel last two days. Just make sure they’re damp and not dirty. Bath mats, too, add a lot of weight to your laun dry. Try throwing a used towel over them when the kids take a bath. The towel can be laundered more easily than a heavy bath mat. A little time spent in pre wash treatment of heavily soiled articles goes a long way towards making washday easier. This is especially true of man-type dirt. Work clothes stained with dirty motor oil or grease add up to more scrubbing for you. Ap ply Lestoil to the spots be cause it removes heavy grease and oil stains even from per manent press fabrics. This is because Lestoil is a unique combination of detergent and solvent so it actually dissolves grease for best results. You can use the same pre wash treatment with Lestoil on kids’ white sneakers. And 1 * once they’re Clean, spray them with a thin coat of starch. It will protect them from soil without making them stiff. I If you have discovered any laundry problems or solutions, write to Samantha.
