choose depends on the style
and fabric Of the garment.
For wool suits and coats,
use a lightweight hair canvas
on the center front. On COL
lars use a loosely woven linen
called tailor's canvas or firm
unbleached muslin. For cot
tons, wool jersey, linen and
silks. use lawn, soft taffeta
or lightweight, soft-finish
Siri. Always shrink interfac-
ing fabrics before cutting.
Undertakings: Most gar
ments should be completely
underlined, especially those
made of soft silks, wool
jersey, knit fabrics, woolens,
linen and fine cottons. Un-
derlining not only helps to
give a good fit, but retains
the shape as well. This is
particularly true if a gar
ment fits closely, such as in
slim skirts.
Fabrics used for under
lining are batiste, organza,
China silk, voile, soft light
weight taffeta and fabrics

SEAMS TO NE
Why q Must
Is q Must

Do you sometimes wonder
why in sewing we stress doing
things that seem like extra
work? There are reasons.
Here are some of the
"muSts" we often use-what
they are, and what they do
for your garments:
A STAY: This is a crisp,
lightweight fabric used I'M
derneath sections to be
slashed, such as buttonholes
and pockets. A stay prevents
fraying and stretching, and
in many cases your garments
from tearing at points of
strain. A sleeve gusset made
of matching fabric, is an ex-
ample.
Interfacing: This is used to
reinforce, to retain shape,
and to prevent limpneSs and
wrinkiing from wear. Special
fabric is used for interfacing
and is placed between the
garment and its facing. These
fabrics are of many types
and come in various weights
and textures. The type you
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-07-02

especially made for UNDER
lining. The special fabrics
come in various weights and
finishes. Some have a crisp
finish appropriate for full
skirts others are very
soft for slim fitted effects.
Undermining should be cut
from the garment pattern.
Pieces are baSted to the gar
ment pieces, and from there
the garment and underlin-
ing are handled as one. This
is true for all part of the
garment.
Press AS You Sew: Always
press open each seam as it
is stitched. This avoids bulk
where two sections are Joined
together and generally gives
your garment a fine appear
ance when finished.
Blasting: I like to haste
the entire garment together
to insure perfect fit. How
ever, most women refuse to
take the time to do this. If
you're one of them keep in
mind that certain sections
must be basted. These in
clude collars, fine details,
etc. If they are just pinned
and stitched, the chances
are they will not be perfect,
because the fabric will shift.

'An effective preventive vac
cination program is the only
answer to blackleg in cattle,
says Kent county agent George
Vapaa.
He recommends routine vac
cination of all calves at TWO
months of age. If a dairyman
waits until the disease strikes,
detection usually comes too late
for treatment.
The county agent reports that
the disease generally hits young
stock from six months to two
years old. 1t comes suddenly,
producing fever and causing
swellings on the thighs and
shoulders, and kills within day
or SO. An infected animal stands
away from the others and shows
lameness when forced to move.
SWellings appear over the thigh,
shoulders, loin, or neck. The
swellings are spongy.
After the death, the carcass
decomposes rapidly. County a.
gent Vapaa says that all black
leg carcasses should be burned
Immediately or buried deeply in
quicklime. Otherwise, he notes,
birds, dogs, or a surface water
might spread the disease
germs.

Earn More
For Time
And Effort

There are TWO ways to in
crease net income on the farm
reduce costs or increase rev.
enue. Here are some income
increasers that will help Del
aware farmers earn more for
their time and effort.
More Milk From Better
Hay--The combination of less
rained on hay and more early
cut hay will increase total milk
production in a given year as
much as five percent. III ad-
dition, total hay yields will
increase at least six percent.
A forage crusher as part of
the standard haying equipment
on a Is COW dairy farm should
increase total milk production
as much as 1000 pounds. At
$500 per hundred weight for
milk, the added income cred
tied to hay conditioning could
be as much as $3.50 a year.
This will more than offset the
added expense Of approximately
$I70 a year to own and oper-
ate a conditioner.
Make The Home Freezer
Pay--The life expectancy of the
home freezer is estimated at
II years. All costs of owner
ship except those of packaging
and freezing are the same re-
gardless of the amount of food
stored. Therefore, the larger
quantity of food, the lower the
freezer cost per pound. For
example, assume the use Of a
S420, IL cubic foot freezer.
If all of the foods stored we're
bought packaged and frozen,
cost per pound for use of the
freezer in storing would be
22f with no turnover, l5f with
so percent turnover and 81
per pound with $50 percent
turnover. Costs covered in

Use OF Word "Blizzard,


The word blizzard" in con-
nection with snowstorms first
was used in Iowa, according
to Sir William Cralgie, editor
of a dictionary of American
slang. He said the word or
iginally was used as descrip-
tive of a sudden, sharp blow,
a shot from a gun or a verb
al tongue-lashing. In April,
1871" he writes, IAN Esther
vile, Iowa, editor used the
word to describe a heavy,
binding snowstorm which
blotted the landscape from
view" Craigie said neighbor-
ing editors picked up the
word, and then during the
severe winter of 18S0-1SS1,
blizzard was cemented into
the language in connection
with snowstorms.

Freezing
Peaches

Work Quickly in Preparing
Peaches for Freezer.
Speed and small quantities
are a must when preparing
peaches for freezing, explains
Katie Thomas, Kent county
home demonstration agent.
Peaches will turn dark quick
ly when exposed to air and will
lose flavor if preparation is
prolonged.
For best results, peel
peaches with a knife rather
than dipping them into hot water.
This prevents a build-up of heat
near the surface of the peach
that may reduce their quality
when frozen.
To prevent color change in
peaches, Mrs. Thomas suggests
adding ascorbic acid to the
syrup used for freezing them.
You can get ascorbic acid in
grocery stores under various
trade names. To use these pro-
ducts, follow the manufact-
urer's directions, she warns.
When packing fruit, leave
space for expansion : w inch
for pints, one inch for quarts.
Seal, label and place in freezer
Immediately. If this isn't pos
sible, store in cold refrigerator
until a group of packages can
be placed In the freezer. Time
in the refrigerator should not
exceed three hours.
Delaware peach varieties es-
pecially good for freezing are
Redhaven, Red Globe, Redskin,
Holehaven and Hale Harrison
