It is as important as ever to present a neat appearance, so Mrs. Dora R. Barnes, clothing specialist for the A. and M. Col lege Extension Service, offers sug gestions for keeping trim. Wash dresses are most practi cal for wilting summer days, she says, and these should be laun dered often. Be sure the fabric is washable. Close all zippers and re move all non-washable trim before tubbing. Look to see if buttons are the type that can be washed with out harm. Wash, dry quickly, and iron immediately. Cottons and washable silks and rayons should be washed in warm —never hot water. The specialist suggests use of mild soap and thorough rinsing. Squeeze in the water; do not rub or wring them. After squeezing them, roll the dresses in a bath towel. Then shake them out and hang out-of-doors in the shade to dry—never in the sun —for the color might fade. “When ironing, watch your iron temperature. Some fabrics, such as nylon, will melt under a hot iron. All materials can be scorched. Fabrics with rough weaves or tex tures look better if ironed on the wrong side,” Mrs. Barnes advises. Here are some other tips: Don’t pull or yank when taking off a dress. Don’t crowd your dresses in the closet. Hang up a dress as soon 83 you take it off, and air it be fore you put it away. Average Wage of $18 Satisfies Working Girl A girl earning $18 a week is far more likely to be satisfied with her lot than are her better-paid sisters, according to a finding by the University of Southern Califor nia’s bureau of busines research. Dr. Thurston H. Ross, director, said 5,000 California working women in all forms of occupation —about half of them industrial— were surveyed. Eighty-eight per cent, he contin ued, were satisfied with their in comes. And of those saying they needed more money, 92 per cent al ready were in the higher brackets. The group’s average wage was $18.21 a week. “The higher wage group com plained a great deal more about the need for clothes than did minimum wage earners,” Dr. Ross reported. “Those who spent most money for clothes seemed to be in the greatest need for them.” AGP A special scholarship is main tained at Dartmouth College for a “religious man from Missouri.” event the nuisance is not abated by cut ting the weeds and removing the trash and rubbish or either of them, as the case may be, then said nuisance shall be abated by the City of College Station, and the expense incurred, which shall include sal ary and wages of all employees, and rea sonable charge for machinery and tools, vehicles, etc., used in abating said nui sance shall be a personal charge against owner of said premises and shall be as sessed as a lien against the property on which said nuisance is located and re moved therefrom, and shall be due and payable to the City Tax Collector the fol lowing tax paying period, that is, the first day of March following the date at which such nuisance is abated and fail ure to pay when due shall cause a ten per cent penalty, to be added and same shall bear interest from the date the same is due, at the rate of six per cent per annum. Section 4. Failure to cut weeds and re move trash and rubbish or to do either of them when notified to do so, as set out in this ordinance by any party obligated to do so by this ordinance, shall be punished by a fine in any sum not exceeding fifty dollars ($50.00) and each day that such nuisance shall continue after the time for abatement as herein set out shall consti tute a separate offense.

R. Eudaly, dairyman of the A. and M. College Extension Service. This is especial ly true of corn and grain sorghum crops which will not make much grain. It applies equally to sweet sorghums, Johnson grass and Su dan. If the corn and grain sorghums can be left standing until the grain is hard, they will make better si lage, provided the majority of the leaves still are green. Neverthe less, these feeds should be made into silage even though the leaves are burned or dried up. But all vitamin A would be lost in the lat ter case. Vitamin A is very essen tial, especially if silage is its only source, and the main origin of vitamin A for livestock is green feed. It is even more necessary to have the sweet sorghums, such as red-top* cane and seeded ribbon cane, ripe for making silage. Im mature sweet sorghums make sour silage. Johnson and sudan grasses should be'headed out and the seed in the dough stage. Any of the grasses and legumes should be dried until their water content k reduced to 35 or 40 percent be fore being put into the silo. This means about half dry enough to bale for hay. When a majority of the leaves of corn, grain and sweet sorghums, and Johnson and sudan grasses are green, it is not necessary to add water if the feed is chopped in one quarter inch lengths or less with an ensilage cutter when put in the trench. If the majority of the leaves are dry, it will be neces sary to add enough water to wet the feed about like a heavy dew. Dampen bundle feed even though the majority of the leaves are green. The silage should be well packed and the trench filled high enough so that it will not settle below the level of the ground. The trench should have good drainage. Dougherty Promoted To First Lieutenant At Fort Bragg, N C The commanding officer of the 36th Field Artillery at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, announces the promortion from the grade of Sec ond Lieutenant of First Lieutenant William B. Dougherty, Jr., Special Services Officer of the regiment. Lieutenant Dougherty, of Dal las, Texas, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Dougherty. After grad uation from Sunset High School, he attended A. & M. graduating in 1941. Prior to joining his regiment, he attended the Battery Officers Course in the Field Artillery School, Fort Sill, Okla. He report ed for active duty with the 36th Field Artillery in October of 1941. His duties with the regiment have been in various capacities, and included the position of Bat tery Executive of Battery D of the regiment, Police and Prison Officer, and Special Services Of ficer. He has attended the Special Services School at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, and has been manager of the Charlotte, North Carolina, Golden Gloves tourna ment. Certified Seed In Use More Now Than In Past Years Planting of state certified seed for most field crops is increasing steadily in Texas, says E. A. Mil ler, agronomist of the A. & M. College Extension Service. Use of pure seed of high yielding strains is more necessary now lhan ever before, in order to meet - He grow ing demand for farm crops and products. Planting pure seed makes farming more profitable, too. The grain sorghum seed im provement work has been rather outstanding, especially in connec tion with pythium root rot. Miller says. A resistant strain, called “Texas milo,” developed by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, has replaced most of the susceptible seed and saved the milo maize growers of Texas •>e,eral million dollars a year. The seed improvement work with oats, barley and wheat con sisted largely of demonstrating the value of the best varieties, and to get farmers to stand nr ore on those which proved to be the most satisfactory. A systematic educa tional campaign in wheat was con ducted in cooperation with the Texas Wheat Improvement Asso ciation, because the seed of manv growers had become mixed and al so because some poor baking vari- ties especially Chiefkan and Early Blackhull were gaining a foot hold. The educational work result ed in a much bigger demand for pure seed of the best varieties. Texas hybrid corn, which pro duces an average of 20 percent more than ordinary corn, became available for distribution in 1941. The 6,000 bushels available in 1942 was considerably less than the de mand. “ It is hoped that the supply of Texas hybrid seed corn, grown by certified seed growers, will be much larger for 1943 planting, especially since it now looks as though the new type is definitely on the march,” Miller observes. Penalty Rate For Excess Wheat 57^ Penalty rate for wheat raised in excess of farm marketing quotas is 57 cents per bushel this year. National loan rate previously has been announced at $1.14, ac cording to P. C. Colgin, state AAA commodity loan specialist. WHEN IN DOUBT ABOUT YOUR EYES OR YOUR GLASSES—Consult DR. J. W.
