Farmers Urged
To Get Ready
For Blue Mold

Because blue mold is unpre-
lictaDle and may appear in to-
Dacco plant beds without warn
ing, farmers should prepare in
advance to fight the disease
when it does strike, Howard R.
Garriss, Extension plant patholo-
gist at State College, warned this
week.
GarrisS said Fermate has been
found effective against blue
mold when used properly and
applied in time. In addition, il
also causes healthier, stronger
plants. and farmers feel they are
benefited whether blue mold
ever appears or not, he added.
The pathologist explained that
Fermate may be applied as a
spray or as dust, with equally
good results when proper meth
DDS are used. The dust treat
ment is more expensive. The
spray is simple TO prepare but
takes longer for mixing and
applying.
Either treatment, GarriSs said.
is a preventative rather than a
cure and should begin before
blue mold appears in the plant
bed. The first application
should be made when the plants
are about the size of dime.
Treatments should be applied
twice a week until plants free
of blue mold are assured for
tranSplanting, Garriss said. Thus
s to IL applications are usually
needed. Applications Of spray
or dust that are washed off by
rain should be repeated as soon
as weather will permit.

plication of Fermate may be OBJ

Household Hint

Occasional Tubing of eiderdown
quilts will lengthen their life span
and keep them downy. Use luke
warm water and enough mild soap
to make q generous billowy lather.
Souse the quilt in the suds, wash it
with gentle kneading motion, then
whip up fresh batch and wash it
a second time. Rinsing should be
done at least three times in water
of the same lukewarm temperature
as the wash water. Squeeze gently,
then hang to dry by spreading the
quilt between two lines. When per-
fectly dry, use a moderately warm
iron to press the cover, then work
the quilt between the fingers to dis
tribute the down filling evenly. This
treatment will restore the soft puff
finess that makes an eiderdown quilt
something to be priced.

Time-Sdving Ironing Tips

And, to reverse things, ever hear
Of the theory Of putting dampened
clothes in the icebox overnight be-
fore ironing? Experts swear that
the things will iron more easily and
look perkier as well. The theory is
that the hot iron on the very cold
fabric creates condensation, which
gives sufficient steam without the
need for a great deal Of moisture
in the fabric. If you decide to try
this trick, plan to iron before the
weekly marketing, 80 that you'll
have the requisite room in the re-
frigerator.
It's = breeze to wash those lovely
scarfs that are so popular just now,
and which, come blustery weather,
double ~ hats, when they are not
being used as . gilet or . decorative
apron on . dress. II you want the
beautiful prints and colors to look
like new, use speed. Cut the wash
ing time to minimum, keep the
water lukewarm, roll in q towel for
fast drying. In pinch, scarves, like
hankies, need not be ironed If spread
fiat to dry against q mirror, tile
wall or bathtub. But be sure that
the surface 10 absolutely clean.

A Beauty Asset Everyone Can Have

these pests, apply pads Of gauze
that have been dipped in . warm
boric acid solution.
Don't be tempted to bead your
pretty winkers. The heated prepa-
rations used for this purpose may
create grave troubles. They can
splash in the eyes, causing scars
or endangering vision.
1t just isn't being done any more
except by those pretty ones who
appear upon the stage or the silver
screen and they are in the "know-
how" group.
Darkening Agent
Mascara is a safe darkening
agent. Never touch the lower lashes.
There is always present . certain
amount of moisture around the eyes
and, with mascara on the lower lid,
there is a possibility Of having
muddy streams on your cheeks.
There was a time when lashes
were dyed, but, because Of the
danger to eyesight, few operators
are willing to give these treatments.
Why take . chance?

"LOOK at this report, Chef, from
q recent national survey. It says
that 459o of the American people
do not follow the desirable prac-
tice Of eating citrus fruits and raw
green's daily"
"Oh, la la! This means that al
most half the people are not eating
these fruits and vegetables every
day. But they are what you call nec-
essary foods, Madame! Is it possi-
BILE that these millions of people
cannot afford them?"
"1n some cases that may be true"
] said. "But the real reason is that
the homemaker doesn't realize these
are essential foods, and so fails to
make provision in her food budget
for their use every day. She'll buy
potatoes and onions, but too often
passes by the fresh raw greens and
salad plants"
"But, Madame, . big tossed green
salad is really as appetizing as any
cooked vegetable. And it is, Is you

that many men still think Of . green
salad as bunny food? And pass

"Of course, the green's should not

refrigerator. They should be washed
as soon Is they come from the store
and the water shaken of at once.
But don't allow them to soak. Then
they should be stored in . cool place

AT my question, Juniors turkey

diverting their attention from what
might have been one Of their rare

"In another hour, ! want you to

nounce that he must have another

"That won't be any set piece"
she said. "I'll probably be doing
that anyway. He's coasting along on

GETTING the household ready
for the holidays is quite = task, es-
pecially since everyday life has to
go on ~ usual, with all the tasks
that are part Of the regular sched-
ule. So We thought that you might
like to learn some good ironing
tricks sent on by . reader who is an
expert in the housekeeping game.
First Of all, she advises that
clothes should not be soaked in cold
water during the winter, because
this causes the fabric mesh to close
and hold the dirt. For this reason,
too, overnight soaking during the
winter defeats It's purpose. Use cool
or lukswarm suds and shorten the
soaking period. As for blsaehes, our
friend recommends that bleaches be
used only after clothes have been
thoroughly sudsed clean, and that
two complete rinsings follow the
bleaching. Like many other experi-
enced housekeepers, she adds .
smidgin Of vinegar to the last rinse
water, which makes delicate fabrics
easier to cope with when ironing.
Hurry-up Job

turs after rinsing. After removing
from towel, place blouse in paper
bag in . barely warm oven, just
while the iron heats. You'll bs as
tonished how this will speed up and
improve the iseaiag job.
