bring themselves up to date
by a visit to the two-man show

as decisively from their old
masters as have modern art
lists Of Europe and the Western
Hemisphere from ours. But
however great a contrast the,

is just as Individually japanese.
The woodcuts on kakemonos
and six-fold screens present
the most marked differences,
being rugged and coarsely cut,
and printed in black and earth
red. The largest screen has "a
figure prints. humorous in their
postures and facial exhibitions.
The pottery is heavy stone

The secret of painless house
cleaning says the specialist, lies in
planning ahead and spacing clean
ing jobs throughout the year to
avoid spring and fall upheavals.
First, decide what jobs should be
done daily, weekly, monthly or sea-
sonally. Each week, in addition to
routine cleaning, do one or two
extra jobs.
Enlist family cooperation in
hanging up clothes and Keeping
personal belonging in order. Fam
lily members can be trained to
clean the bathroom after using,
clean shoes before entering house,
put trash in wastebaskets, and
many other picking up" tasks.
Every house should have clean

potatoes in 1850 than in 1945-on
fewer farms. In 1850, approxim-
ately 1000 farmers grew 10000
bushels of potatoes, as compared
with $500 growers and 100000
bushels in 1945.
There is a very definite reason
for this trend toward concentrat-
ing potato production among fewer
but larger growers, he explains.
Apparently the larger growers
are faster at gaining the essentials
of potato production such as land,
labor, machinery and know how.
This gives the larger growers an
advantage in meeting competition
from other areas"
During a five year period, larger
producers gained a steady advant-
age in yields. The average yield
per acre of the larger growers in
1850 nearly doubled yields of the
smaller producers. Five years
earlier, the yields of larger grow
ers were only one-half greater than
the smaller growers.
DR.. Bausman believes this treno
toward fewer But larger commerce
ial potato growers will continue in
Delaware.

Miss Holloway pointed out that
meals should taste good and look
good, provide adequate amounts of
food nutrients, supply the neces-
sary calories to meet the needs of
the family members, and fit the
family budget for time, energy, and
money. The discussion centered
around these points. Many good
ideas for planning, purchasing, pre-
pairing, and serving less expensive
meals were given by those who at
tended and everyone went home
with lots of new suggestions for
themselves and their clubs.

Place hooks so that brooms and
mops hang free of the floor. and
arrange supplies so that any one
item can be removed without dis
turbing the others. Provide shelf
space for cans and jars.
A cleaning kit or lined basket
is a wonderful step-saver. Use it
to carry together small pieces of
equipment and supplies such as
dust cloths, sponge, whisk broom

1t is not too late to plant snap

the seed to insure prompt germ
ination. A mulch over the fur

loss of moisture.
If reporting of house plants
was neglected last spring, it
should be done promptly so the

Garden peas may be planted
about the middle of the month

Cultivation Helps
Dry Soils Take
And Hold Moisture

With this area receiving limited
amounts of rain, farm specialists
advise cultivation as a means
of making soils more capable of
absorbing rain water when it
does come.
Although the principal value
OF cultivation is in the control
of weeds, it also helps loosen
the soil, particularly heavier
soils which tend to become
packed and crusted.
In the home garden, there
is little reason to cultivate
deeper than one-half to one and
a hall. inches, the specialists say.
However, in heavy soils which
are somewhat compact, it may
be necessary to use a wheel hoe
with cultivator shoes or points.
Mulches are another effective
way to control weeds, conserve
moisture and prevent erosion.
Also a mulch saves possible
damage to crops from hoeing or
cultivating heavily.
Straw, old hay or grass, leaves,
peat moss, and other materials
make good mulches. It is best
to let the crops get large enough
to need one cultivation before
the mulch is applied.
