Interesting Notes

Christopher Columbus was twice
married.
Cold air cannot hold moisture
so the breath makes white fringe
of frost on the clothing.
It's a good idea TO apply a thin
coat of oil or grease to an iron
skillet after it is washed and dried
and before il is put away. This
will insure against rust.

Hosiery Is Big
Clothing Item

More money is spent for hosiery
than any other clothing item, says
Eleanor r. Cavanaugh, Kent COun-
ty Home Demonstration Agent. She
says not enough attention is given
to size and kind of hosiery bought.
Price alone is not a guide to hose
quality. Medium and low priced
hose may have wearing quality.
while higher priced stockings give
poorer service, because of sheer
ness.
Women should be familiar with
hosiery terms that indicate quality.
First quality means a stocking
without flaws or Irregularities. Sub
standard included irregulars. sec
onds. and thirds. Substandard hose
must be marked
Irregulars mean hosiery with i'm
Derfections in size, color, or fabric,
but without noticeable runs. mends.
tears. or breaks. They can give
good wear and be a good buv, but
should be examined closely before
buying. In seconds and thirds, ne
or both stockings have noticeable
runs, mends, tears. or breaks. Sec
Onds have shorter mends or breaks
than do thirds.
Mrs Cavanaugh states that stock
ings should fit we'll for good serv-
ice and wear. StoD and consider
your foot and leg length, foot and
leg length, and ankle and calf
measurements Generally. the foot
of the stocking should be measured
fat. and should he One-haIf inch
longer than your foot. A fieshy foot
needs \ longer length to allow for
more take-up.

u. S. Farm Income Down,
Delaware's Stays Same

In spite of rising prices during
the last half of 1850, United States
farmers realized eight per cent
less income from farming in 1850
than in 1949. Delaware farmers
Jared slightly better than surround
ing states, according to w. T. Nc
Allister, who is the extension
marketing specialist, University of
Delaware. Compared with 1949, re-
cords showed practically no de-
cline in receipts from farm marke-
ting in Delaware.
Maryland had two per cent de-
cline, New Jersey four per cent,
Pennsylvania, a five per cent de-
cline. Maine had the heaviest loss
is per cent while North Carolina
reported a II per cent gain.
This brings farmers realized net
income q per cent below the 1947
peak. In terms of purchasing pow
er, farm incomes are 80 per cent
below this peak.
Higher production costs were the
principal reasons for the 1850 drop.
Estimated income per person on
farms for 1850, was 1904 compared
to 1916 in 1949. For non farm per-
sons it was $1546 in 1850; $1494 in
1949. In comparing dollar and
cent changes of the two years, it
is important to consider the deval-
uation of the dollar that took place
in the last half of 1850, too, said
McAllister.
