Decorate To Bring
Light Into Room

Lafayette, Ind.-Three colors-
a dominant, secondary and an ac-
,ent-may be used effectively in
decorating a room. No matter
which is used, the color of the
'argest areas, such as the floors,
walls and ceiling, have the great
est effect on the appearance of a
'oom.
These large areas add light to
4 room and for this reason should
be kept in mind when planning a
color scheme, says Miss Vanis j.
Deeter, home furnishing special
st at Purdue University.
Medium-to-light colored floor
coverings reflect more light and
vet they do not show lint as read
'ly as darker ones. If floors and
rugs are lighter in value, they
will increase the light in the
"oom. 1t is the dark shades, such
as browns, deep blues, wine reds
md hunter green's which absorb
light and are undesirable.
Light colored walls reflect more
IF the daylight and artificial light
1T night. Dark walls do not re-
fleet much light. However, light
can be brought into the room, if
most of the other areas are of a
light tone.
Yellows and colors mixed with
yellow reflect the most light. To
add light to dark rooms, they may
he painted sand, ivory, peach, ba-
nana-yellow or another pastel col
,r. Wallpapers which reflect light
in dark rooms are those with an
open pattern on a white or light
background.
For sunny rooms, colors reflect
ing less light are more satisfac-
tory. Medium soft blues, green's
or soft grays do an impressive
lob.

Ohio Leads East
In Raising Sheep

Spring is here, and soon the
sight of lambs gamboling among
the trilliums will remind Ohioans
that this State outranks all others
east of the Mississippi River in
the production of wool.
Latest figures compiled by the
Ohio Development and Publicity
Commission show approximately
1,168,000 head of sheep on Ohio
farms. The cash income from the
raising of sheep totals more than
$17,8OO,O0O.
Knox and Licking counties still
retain the lead in the number of
sheep. AS typical of Ohio agri-
culture, sheep are raised on the
general farm. Few Ohio livestock
men specialize in sheep. 1t is us
ual to find a flock of SO or so
ewes kept in addition to cattle,
poultry or other livestock.
Until recently the merino type
sheep outnumbered other breeds,
but now there is a tendency to-
ward keeping more sheep of the
mutton breeds.
Eastern Ohio is still an out
standing fine wool producing area
More attention is now being given
to the lamb crop and a smaller
percentage of whethers is kept in
the flock. In several counties the
winter feeding of western lambs
has become sizeable enterprise

Poultry House
Remedy Cited

Superphosphate fertilizer is bet
ter than lime to reduce the am
monia .odor in poultry houses, ac-
cording to research at the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station,
Wooster.
A. R. Winter recently complet-
ed comparison of hydrated lime
and superphosphate to sprinkle
droppings in poultry houses. Su-
perhosphate reduced the escape
of ammonia two-thirds more than
either lime or no treatment.
Droppings sprinkled with SUI
perphosphate retain more nitro
gen than untreated droppings
This increases their value as fer
tilizer.
Winter says ammonia odor is
more noticeable in cold weather

If there is enough ammonia, it ir-
ritates eyes of young chickens and
causes workers discomfort.

LOCAL All BOYS
VIEW BETATRON

Green lights flashed, a siren
sounded, a switch was 'flipped and
two minutes later the huge
$250,000 Betatron had x-rayed a
steel casting six inches thick.
This episode was part of the

OHIO IS TOPS AS
VACATION AREA

COLUMBUS, Ohio. = Ohio, one
of the 10 top vacation states in
America, can expect its biggest
tourist year in state history in
1858.
Predictions are that Ohio will
attract a substantial share of the
81 ,033 900 American families who
will this year spend their vaca-
tions away from home.
These are not reports from ma
tive chambers of commerce or
convention bureaus. Rather, the
authority is j. E. Farr, executive
vice president of Schenley Distri-
butors, Inc, who make it his busi-
ness to trace American vacation
ers and their holiday dollars. He
knows that vacationing families
will spend, in the first three
months of this year, at least $685.
$685. for beverages, food and
lodging. From these surveys, and
others, his company builds its
seasonal advertising and sales
campaigns.
"Ohio's great cities, lake resorts
and historical shrines will be Wis
of tourists this year." Farr be-
tied by many additional thousands
lieves. "And there will be an al
most LOO per cent increase in va
cation business during the first
three months of this year over the
same period decade ago."
Farr attributes the vacation
boom, proven by the more than
100 per cent. increase in touring
Americans over the 100000 who
went sightseeing in winter dec
ade ago, to two important factors:
An increasing number of large
American corporations are now
giving their employees three, in
stead of the traditional two weeks
with pay; and resort owners and
trayel agencies, noting this trend,
are promoting it to great advant-
age.
Today, Farr points out, every
state qualities as vacation
land" Currently, the nations
leading vacation states, in addi-
ton to Ohio. include: New York,
California, Florida, New Jersey,
Michigan, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Massachusetts, and Virginia.
