housekeeping Hints

save time nor tries TO prevent un-
necessary steps by thinking ahead.
The cleaning equipment should
first be put in good order and need
ed supplies of cleaning materials
provided. These should consist of
a good vacuum cleaner, if possible,
sweepers, ceiling and wall brushes,
oil mops and busters, floor oils, kero-
sene, ammonia, turpentine, soaps,
etc, some good disinfectants and
plenty Of clean soft cloths.
The home economics division of
the department of agricultural ex-
tension recommend the following
formulas for oiled floors, mops and
dust cloths:
Floor oil-Ca) Turpentine, lin
seed oil, paraffin, equal parts; heat
over hot water.
(b)-One pound paraffin, one gall
lon boiled linseed oil.
For dustless busters and mops-
Three parts boiled linseed oil. one
kerosene, two quarts hot water;
saturate thoroughly, wiring out or
dry.
Extension lealet No. SO, which
can be secured by writing to the
extension department, Purdue uni
versity. will give further help on floor
coverings.
In the order of house cleaning a
systematic cleaning of one or two
rooms at the same time is recon-
mended rather than the wholesale
tearing up Of the entire house, for a
little cleaning done often is far
more economical than TO let dirt &C
cumulate. Accumulation necessi-
tates hard rubbing, the use of much
water and often the use Of alkalies,
all of which may endanger the finish
of woodwork and floors
The old adage
"A little at a time and that done well
Is a very good rule as many can
tell"
applies very well indeed to house
cleaning.

URGED TO PLANT
SWEET POTATOES
Is Practically a Sure Crop And
Especially Attractive Owing
To Labor Shortage.

Columbia. s. C.-There never has
sweet potatoes in South Carolina. 1t
Is practically sure crop and in view
of the labor situation ii is one Of the
very best crops that can be planted.
Every sweet potato that is grown in
this State is growing to help in the
food fight to win the war. In addition,
potatoes in the present market con,
ditions are wonderfully profitable
crop.
At the request OF the Chairman Of
the food production campaign in this
State, Prof. George p. Hoffman has
prepared a series OF articles in con-
nection with the planting and gather
ing OF seed potatoes. and will be pub
lished from time to time. The imme-
diate urgency is in securing seed stock
for the satisfactory planting. The real
shortage Of seed potatoes Is perhaps
not realized. and those interested in
the planting OF seed potatoes should
at once arrange to get their seed.
Professor Hoffman has this to say:
Win oh Cdbt vi ucdIly tuTt0
times the normal selling price com
bined with a wanton loss OF more than
rs per cent OF South Cardinals sweet
potato crop OF the past season. IL is
obvious that the necessary seed for
planting this years crop Will be far
insufficient. Therefore. 1t is impera-
tive that plant dealers and planters
m ir,,p nH ;y{n
plying their needs. Disease-free seed
should be bedded as soon as possible.
This shortage may be supplemented
by large per cent through early
paintings of small areas from which
later paintings may be made by use
OF vine cuttings.
"The Nancy Hall and Porto Rico are
the leading and most popular varieties
In this State but these varieties not
being available. no time should be
lost In obtaining disease-free seed or
plants OF other varieties. Every ef-
fort should be made for the planting
OF sufficient area to supply home
consumption with a surplus FOR the
local market
THE planters OF South Carolina
have been asked to increase by 60 per
cent the crop OF last year. which was
100000 bushels. produced on $4,000
acres. This necessary increase may
be easily obtained by the planting as
o minimum of one-half acre per plow.
From 5000 to 10000 plants will
be needed for planting one acre or
5000 to 10000 bushels OF seed stock.
Small potatoes are equally as good
and will furnish greater number OF
plants per given quantity than will
the larger roots, therefore. planters
are advised to use the smaller pota-
toes"

The Value Of The Dollar,

The importance OF raising food
stuffs at home can not perhaps be
better accentuated than by quoting
figures prepared by Mr.. Arthur L. Lee
for the New York Times. The dollar
on the day the war broke out as com
pared with the dollar OF today in pur-
chasing capacity shows just little
more than fifty-six per cent OF its
value at that time. This means that
the dollar the farmer derives from
his crop buys for him just fifty-six
cents worth OF corn. bacon. foIr or
food-stuffs as compared with the same
dollar that he would have had in 1914.
Aside from the patriotic duty OF
from purely selfish standpoint the
man who can raise food .stuffs at home
ought to realize that his dollar has a
purchasing capacity today OF only
fifty-six cents as compared with the
same dollar OF 1914. Mr.. Lee In his
article gives these graphic diagrams
indicating the reduced value OF the
dollar This applies as fully to every
thing that is bought as 1t does to food
stuffs.
The diagrams OF the dollars real
purchasing capacity are presented by
the Food Conseryator as he is con-
vinced they stress an important phase
OF the campaign for more food.
