Mrs. N. /. H., Cobb Island, Md.
I am very pleased to think
that ] may have the perfect
answer to the starching of

the readers. which / stumbled
on quite by accident. / use
a plastic starch for my laun-
dry needs which I find a great
time saver. 1t is an IL
letter word meaning perma-
nent starch. One day about
two years ago, I found in a
bottle just enough to put a
little finish" on a pillow slip
I had washed. I thought it
was the remains of a diluted
solution which can be saved
without deterioration from one
time to the next. Lo and be-
hold when it was ironed, it
was almost stiff as a board,
and then ! found had used
the undiluted starch. Being
q little on the Scotch side !
used it continually for only
my bed and / find that even
after this long time and many
launderings. it is still a little
too stiff to put on a guest
bed. AS hard twisted threads
and heavy materials take less
starch and fine or loosely
woven fabrics take more, I be-
heye you are perfectly safe
in using this product full
strength on your crinolines.
I know I would not hesitate,
but. Of course, you could try
1t out first on just the hem
If you prefer. For good re-
suits, with the exception of
diluting the liquid, follow the
rest of the directions given on
the bottle.
I am a little excited and
pleased with myself that
can at long last help another

most chores I take the long

so Readers Clearing House
has been a delight and a won-
derful help to me.
Now / would like some adj
vice. There are two items
which I would like to own, an
automatic washer and a sink
garbage disposal. Living in
the country there may be diff
culties with either or both as
we don't have city sewage,
only a septic tank for the
bathroom and a very deep
dry hole" for other water. At
present, this is adequate.
Here are my questions: viii a
30-gallon hot-water tank be
adequate for the automatic
washer? Is an automatic
washer too heavy for a house
with only a single floor? Is
there an installation cost, or
could a very able handyman
husband install one himself?
Would a garbage disposal need
to be connected with the septic
tank or is it ground finely
enough to go easily through
the pipes to the dry hole?
These sound like very tech
nical questions for a house
wife, but If there are any of
you who live in an isolated
district such as / do, your ex-
perience would be much more
valuable to me than that of q
little old salesman very anx-

Simple sirup is made by

rapidly at first, but that in a shOr

One-hour run of this applied rainfall
the chemical fallow with Stubble all on
the surface took up water at a rate
more than double that being absorbed
by the plowed fallow or that where the

measurements indicate that on these
soils, land with a mulch on top of the

whereas plowed land or that with a

could take care of only about l inch

Chemical control of weeds on summer
fall0w ground with 2,4-D has been used
to a very limited extent. Results in the
past have generally been unsatisfactory
because only the broad-Ieaf weeds were
affected and the faIIow became weedy
with such grasses as cheatgraSs, barn
yardgrass, foxtailgrass, and volunteer
grain. With the availability of such
chemicals as dalapon to control some of
the grasses, it appears that a chemical
following may become a satisfactory
method.
In 1854 complete weed control was

season. The principal broad-leaf weeds

Three applications of 2,D-4 ester at
the rate of "a pound per acre applied
in May, June, and early August gave
complete control of the broad-leafed
weeds and one application of S pounds
per acre of dalapon applied in late May
controlled the grassy weeds.
AT the end Of the fallow season when
winter wheat was seeded, more than
third of the stubble was in at least
seni-standing condition on the chem

was serving as a partially decomposed

In Fairfax

A bonanza crop Of new build
ings Is ready for the opening OF
Fairfax County Schools on Tues
day when $4,000 youngsters are
expected to report.
Eleven new elementary schools
and one new high school have
been added to Fairfax County's
rapidly growing system since the
summer vacation began. Most
of them are ready to open Tues
day. although a few will not be
occupied for a month or two.
Other new schools will be fin-
ished later in the year.
1t is the largest number Of
new schools to open at one time
in Fairfax County. although new
buildings have been added to
the system at hreak-neck speed
since 1851.
OF 1.104 classrooms-including
those buildings to be completed
later in the year-825 have been
built since 1851.
Still 1t will be necessary to
place roughly 1900 children on
halliday shifts In some schools.
Many Of the double-shift ar
rangements are supposed to be
dropped during the year as new
buildings are ready. A $22 million
bond issue is proposed to con-
tinue the building program and
keep UP with the growing school
population.
Fairfax County's school popu-
lation has been increasing at the
rate of 5000 to 1000 a year
since 1850. The increase expected
this year amounts to around
1000.
