er. 1t should be emphasize !, how
ever, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture points out,
that careless blowing leaves many
pieces of stalks, stubble, weeds,
and so on, upon the soil surface,
and is not effective. This debris
shelters many iorers which crawl
to the surface after being plowed
under. They bore into, or encase
themselves, in such debris, ana here
many of them transform INTO
moths. When such shelter is lack
ing, the vast majority of the bor-
ers finally perish, either berg eat
en- by birds, beetles or ants, or
killed by various native pre.tators
or by exposure to the weather. The
use of a pillow having wide bot
tom and which is equipped with a
chain or wire to aid in burning all
debris is an inc ortant help in 10
ing clean job.
Sacks of seed corn may he pro-
tected from mice by scattering ma

the flakes and will usually keep
away.

be heavily manured in advance of

Yellow corn and white corn are
generally thought of as equal In
feeding value. Yellow corn, how
ever, contains much more fat-so2
luble vitamin than white corn.
When this vitamin is not supplied
Thy pasture grass or green-leaved
roughage or good quality hay,
which probably contains an abund-
ance of this substance, yellow corn
should be fed. The color of corn
has no effect on the color of milk.
Don't iron white silk with very
hot iron. All silk scorches easily,
and too great heat turns white silk
yellow. Use a warm iron on the
wrong side of the silk, and pro,
tect it with cheesecloth.
Foods which stimulate the ap
petite and promote digestion should
be served at the, beginning of the
meal. That's the reason many
people like to start dinner with
light well-fiavored soup. First
"appetizers" are also good.
When choosing children's gar
ments, consider the durability of
the material, whether or not it
will launder we'll and easily, and
what provision is made for the
growth of the child. Can the CHILD
put it on and take it off himself.
These points are just as important
as attractive design or color.
To clean upholstered furniture,
either a vacuum cleaner or a
brush may be used. A soft brush is
best for velvet and velour, sitter
brush for tapestry, and other
strong, firm materials. When con-
venient, take upholstered furniture
out of doors occasionally and beat
with a flat carpet heater.
Have corn fritters once in
while. They go especially well
with an all vegetable meal in
such combinations as spinach,
creamed onions and stewed toma-
toes; or string beans, carrots, and
lettuce salad; or quick-cooked cab
bage, beets, and buttered mashed
rutabagas. The corn fritters ADJ

these vegetables combinations. The

Good Rotation

AOOQ ROTATION
A good rotation s.s+ell should
include a legume All cultivated
crop. The rotation and crops to
be used depend upon local condi-
lions. The purpose of growing a
legume is to gather nitrogen. from
the air and store Il in the FOIL. Lee
gumes also help maintain the sup
ply of hlimus. Tn. cloverS, cow
peas, soybeans, vetch, and Grim
son clover are the leading legumes
for this purpose. Vetch is usually
grown with rye in the east and
south. Cultivation improves the
physical and chemical conditions of
the soil. Furthermore, by means
of cultivation manure can be work
ed in and made available.
