SEWING HINTS.
MAKING FLOWERS.

from Mrs. J. =. X, BIckeystTom.j }
In regard to the Lily Mills,
Shelby. N. c.. am quoting their
little pamphlet which I think is
cute and worth while. I was
given these and I presented one
to each member Of our home
makers club. I could not buy
any crochet cotton direct from
them, but I did receive their books
with lovely designs.
How to thread a needle and
sew: Thread knots because knot
is placed on wrong end Of thread.
/. The needle turns as each
stitch is taken. and If the thread
unwinds or twists tighter 1t will
knot.
2. In black and white cotton
thread the end that hangs from
the spool Is threaded into the
needle. The end cut from the
spool Is knotted.
8. In colored thread the oppo-
site method Is used.
After pulling of the length Of
thread desired-don't bite or break
it-cut it diagonally with sharp
scissors. This gives pointed end,
easier to thread in the needle.
These methods help in prevent
ing knots. When sewing. the
thread turns in the needle, making
a tighter twist. II the thread is
needed in reverse the twist un-
winds. causing the thread to knot
and fray.
Place a knot In the end Of the
thread cut from the spool. on six
cord thread, but knot opposite end
on colored thread.
I have q cousin right here who
makes flowers and she would show
the lady how to make them. Get

county during the four years.
Supervisor Grabman said that
these loans, to be made through
his agency and approved by the
farmers home county committee,
are only part of the aid which
the new act holds out to farmers.
The agricultural research ad-
ministration is authorized to
work out research on new ma
terials and construction methods.
This information, plus building
plans for various farm construc-
tions, will be made available to
farmers through the county
agent. In addition, the bureau of
agricultural economics will make
special surveys to determine the
farm construction needs.

Waterfowl Season
Opens On Oct. q

Ohio waterfowl hunters will
have ten more days of hunting
this year than last. The season
opens at II noon eastern standard
time and continues through Nov.
20. Daily hunting hours after the
opening day will be from one
half hour before sunrise to one
hour before sunset.
Fl. A. Rider, chief of the Ohio
division of wildlife announced to-
day that recent passage of the
federal duck stamp bill, provides
for an increase in the duck stamp
fee from $l00 to $500. Hunters
over l6 years of age are required
to have a stamp in addition to
the regular hunting license.
Hunters must sign across the face
of the stamp and attach it to
their hunting license.
The U. S. fish and wildlife
service expects the 1949 stamp
sales to exceed last years record
figure of 100000. The stamps
which had sold for $l.0O since
1884 are expected to be available
at post offices soon. Ohio is not
a leading state in the production
or kill of waterfowl. For the fis-
cal year ending June 30, l947, it
ranked oath among the states in
the number of stamps purchased
with d total of 37,l95 stamps.
1t is estimated that 26,0O0,0OO
ducks were killed in 1916 in the
United States but only a small
number, in comparison, were
killed in Ohio.

Grass Returns
Big Dividends
For Dutchmen

Commercial fertilizers and
grass crops rate high in Hollandl
Dutch farmers working on
Ohio farms this summer say that
in their native land even their
grass crops receive heavy treat
ments of commercial fertilizers.
Further, their clover, alfalfa,
and other forage legumes do not
held the important place in
cropping plans of the Dutch
dairy farmer that they do in
America.
DR.. w. w. Myers, u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture agronomist
who just returned from the
Fifth Information Grassland Con-
gress at Noordwijk, Holland, ex-
plains, however, that this atti-
tude toward legumes is not one
to copy in this country.
Dutch farmers, he says,
Consider that grasses alone,
heavily fed with nitrate fertiliz-
er, bring higher returns in diges-
tible nutrients than legumes or
mixtures of legumes and grasses
that catch and fix nitrogen from
the air. They often give their
pasture and hay crops 600 to 700
pounds of nitrate of soda per
acre"
American farmers, he con-
tinues, have found legumes to be
economical crops, whereas farm
ers in Holland are concerned
with getting maximum yields
per acre because of the limited
acreage and large population.
In the United States, with land
more abundant, he says farmers
can be satisfied with less per
acre in the interest of the lower
cost when legumes supply the
nitrogen.

NEW EQUIPMENT

The old saying "Whistling
Won't Help" doesn't apply to the
gas tank whistles now standard
on all 1949 Ford passenger cars.
In this case whistling does help.
1t tells the filling station attend
ant when the tank is full. He can
stand erect while filling the
tank, instead of STOPPING with
his ear to the spout. 1t improves
tempers all the way around by
reducing chances of spillage. 1t
saves time, for the faster the
pump runs the louder the whis-
tie.

At present he is keeping names
and addresses of persons desiring
loans, to be notified as soon as
funds are available.
To be eligible for loans later,
an applicant must be a farm
owner and unable to obtain credit
for his construction or repair
work from local sources at rea-
sonable terms. A farm tenant
cannot obtain loan under the
housing act but a farm owner
may borrow to repair or con-
struct farm buildings for his ten
ants.
Mr.. Grabman said that most
loans would be made for con-
struction or repair of homes and
other farm buildings to farmers
whose income from farm or other
resources is sufficient to repay
the loan plus interest without
further assistance from the gov
ernment. 1t is estimated that
since most of the loans are eX-
pected to be for remodeling
rather than new construction
nationally they will average
about $4,000. Loans will be repay
able in a maximum of 33 years
at four per cent interest. When
a farmer, because of circum-
stances beyond his control, is un-
able to make his payments.
moratorium on interest and prin-
cipal may be granted, and in eX
treme cases the interest for that
year may be forgiven.
A farmer whose income is con
sidered inadequate to repay a
loan on schedule may borrow
money if a change in farming
methods would make his income
adequate to repay the loan. In
such cases where the farmer
works out farm plan that will
bring the needed increase in his
income, the government will of
fer special assistance During the
first five years of the loan, if
the adjusted farming plan is car
ried out, up to half the principal
payment and all of the interest
due may be paid by the govern
ment.
For the farmer whose income
is not adequate to repay loan
and whose farming operations
cannot be changed enough to
make the income adequate, as
sistance will be available if exist
ing housing is considered a men
ace to the health and safety of
the occupant or the community.
In these cases loans and grants
may be used for minor repairs
which will provide safe or Sani-
tary housing. The total amount of
grants may not exceed $500.
however, nor may the total of
grants and loans for such minor
repairs exceed $1,000. When ne
cessary, loans may be made to
enlarge or develop farmland to
help provide income needed to
pay off housing loan.
The program during its first
year is expected to start slowly,
with total authorization nation
ally of $25 million for construc-
tion and repair loans, and an ad-
ditional So million for loan and
grants for minor repairs and
loans to enlarge or develop farm
land. 1t is estimated that this will
provide funds to help about 13
thousand farmerS-about 5 per
county. The program, however, is
authorized to continue for four
years, with total authorization
of $275 million in loans and
grants over that period, If appro-
priationS match authorization.
