Sem Methods in Garnet Care

New Methods III carpet Care
Rug manufacturers have taken
some practical steps recently to aid
homemakers in caring for their
carpets and rugs, Florence Y.
Smith, county home demonstration
agent reports.
She says new wool and wool
blend carpets have been perman-
emily moth-proofed by major manu-
facturers while synthetic fiber rugs
are naturally mothproof.
Today's carpets can be maintain
ed easily with normal care-vac-
uum cleaning, spot and stain re-
moval and professional cleaning as
required.
The frequency of these cleaning
procedures depends on the amount
of traffic in the home and the
amount of atmospheric soil in the
area.
Quick spot and stain removal is
always effective in maintaing car
pet beauty and life. Some carpet
fibers are less absorbent than
others and therefore do not read
lily soak up stain-causing liquids;
but all carpets, regardless of fiber
content, can be cleaned successfully
with prompt action.
Simple cleaning materials, such
as solution of detergent and wa
ter, or the type of cleaning fluid
used to remove spots from cloth
ing, are easily used on carpets and
rugs, Mrs. Smith said.

Plant A Tree Now

One of the best times for tree
planting in Delaware is March and
early April, according to horticul-
tural specialist Robert Stevens,
University of Delaware.
Leafy trees are best planted dur
ing late fall (after leaves have
fallen1 and during early spring un-
til about mid-April. Care in plant
ing the tree is necessary to in
crease the chances of survival and
to prevent a transplanting setback.
Here are "a few simple rules the
specialist suggests you follow in
planting bare rooted trees (nOt
balled and burlaped):
1. Plant as soon as possible after
you receive the trees. Be sure to
keep the roots from drying out.
Heel in all stock which must be
kept a few days in moist soil away
from drying winds or leave wrap
ped up as received from nursery
in cool shady place.
2. Dig the hole with straight
sides and fiat bottom large enough
to accommodate all roots with an
extra 3 to inches on each side
and on the bottom. Mix top soil re-
moved from the hole with one
fourth peat moss or other humus
and sand. Sand need not be added
in sections where the soil is sandy
but is needed in most of northern
New Castle County, Delaware.
3. Shovel 3 to s. of the top soil
mixture in the bottom of the hole
and heap up a mound in the center
of the hole where the base of the
trunk will rest
A. Inspect the roots and prune
off broken or damaged roots using
pruning shears. Place the tree
straight up in the hole at about

Eggnog For Easter

Mothers planning Easter egg
hunts or egg rolling for groups of
children may want to consider cas-
lily made, nutritious egg-and-milk
drinks for refreshments, according
TO Extension nutrition specialist
Mrs. Marjorie Whitaker, Universi-
ty of Delaware.
Eggs will be in heavy supply at
this Easter season. The u. s. De-
partment of Agriculture suggests
that the basic eggnog recipe can be
varied in many ways to give it a
festive touch that will appeal to
youngsters.
One tall glass of plain eggnog
calls for / egg; cup milk; about
/ tablespoon sugar; a pinch of
salt; u teaspoon of vanilla. Beat
these ingredients together, pour
into cups or glasses, serve cold
and sprinkle nutmeg on top.
To make the eggnog fluffier, Mrs.
Whitaker suggests beating whites
and yolks separately, then mix
yolks, milk, sugar, salt and favor
ing before mixing into the beaten
whites. Lemon or orange flavor may
be used instead of vanilla, and
crushed lemon drops may be
sprinkled on top instead of the
customary nutmeg. Or use pepper
mint favor and top with crushed
peppermint candy. Serve with col
orful straws.
Ice cream makes another popular
eggnog. Drop a small scoop of
vanilla fee cream into the glass of
plain eggnog before serving. Ba-
mana eggnog made by adding a
ripe, cut-up banana to the egg,
milk and sugar in the electric
mixer bowl and beating all to-
gether. Eggnog sweetened with
maple sirup instead of sugar, or
favored with almond extract in
stead of vanilla.

the same depth it had in its form

the same depth it had in its form
er location.
5. Spread out the roots to ap-
proximately their original posi-
ton. Shovel in the prepared top
soil. Firm the soil around the trunk
and roots being careful not to in
jure the bark of the trunk or roots.
6. When the hole is two thirds
full, pour in several gallons of wa
ter to fill the hole. This may be a
starter solution but be sure it is
not too strong. After the water has
settled fill in soil until level with
the ground. Do not mound up the
soil around the trunk but leave
a saucer shaped basin for watering.
z. Prune the top so as to keep the
natural shape of the tree. Do not
prune the leader or any short
branches growing out directly from
the leader.
8. Provide support for newly set
trees. A single stake long enough
% reach into the lower part of the
crown will do for trees up to %
in diameter. Drive this stake into
the ground about 1 foot from the
base of the trunk. The tree is fast
ened to the stake with wire which
IS run through piece of old gar
len hose. Trees of to 4" in dia-
meter require two or three stakes
and trees of 4" or more in diameter
must be guyed down.
9. A mulch of 2 to 81 of peat
moss, leaf mold, straw, hay, or
similar material is often helpful
the first two years. Wrapping the
trunk of deciduous trees will pre-
vent sunscald. No fertilizer is ad-
vised at planting time. Moderate
sertilizing is recommended the Sec
md year.

When Teens
Stay Out
All Night.
up Newsfeatures

up Newsfeatures
The other evening l listened
in on the talk of a group of older
teenagers who were discussing
some of their earlier ecapades.
Three of them had each stayed out
all night-but what different stor-
les! Two were boys, one was a
girl.
Paul went to party. He and a
friend took their girls home and
then stopped in an all-night diner
and got to talking. the time slipped
by before they realized they'd been
there any time at all, the pale
light of dawn dimmed the electric
lights. Paul was scared.
Wrong Tactics
"My old man is going to make
row over this" he said.
He sneaked into his house-it
was about 6 o'clock in the morn
ing. His father heard him and
there was, indeed, terrible scene.
The father didn't ask where Paul
had been or what he'd been doing.
He accused him of getting drunk
and painting up the town. When
Paul tried to explain the father
said he was lying and refused to
believe him. Paul's allowance was
taken away and he wasn't per-
mitted to go anywhere but school
for three months. He could have
no friends at the house. PauPs
hatred of his father was bitter and
deep as he told the story five years
later.
Ellen went to a show on a double
late After the show they went to
roadhouse and had some drinks.
Ellen had been forbidden both to
go to this particular place and
also to ever take a drink. She
enjoyed it but she also felt guilty.
After a couple of drinks she for
got all her scruples and went in
for a furiously good time. The
hours whizzed by.
Parental Indifference
1t was 6 o'clock in the morning
when she very quietly let herself
into her home. The house was
dead still. She went to her room
and went to bed. No one seemed
to know she had been out. That
next evening, however, her father
said to her:
You got in pretty late last
night It's nothing to me. but your
health and your reputation aren't
worth much with behavior like
that"
Nothing more was said or done.
Ellen felt nobody cared what
she did. Five years later when
she told the story her devil-may-
care attitude only thinly veiled the
hurt she felt from her parents
Indifference to her.
Parental Concern
Jim had another story to tell.
He too had gone out on a party.
Like Paul, he and his pal took
their girls home and dropped in
for bite 1t was pretty late when
they left the diner and Les sug-
gested Jim come home with him.
It was too late really to go to
bed since both boys had early
morning paper routes. They sat
around a while, then went out and
delivered their papers. Jim pull
ed in to his house about $3.50 a. m.
Both his parents were in the living
'oom, his mother in pajamas and
1athrobe, his father dressed. They
looked haggard.
"Jim, we have been worried to
death about you," said his mother,
Where have you been? The two
of us have had a pretty rough
night"
"You mean you've been UP
worrying about me?" said Jim in
liter amazement
Eyes, lad" said Dad, mother
woke me up about o'clock said
you hadn't come in. We sat around
md worried for an hour or so,
hen we called Mary Alice's par
ants-we got them out of bed. They
