War-time Demands
Economical Use Of
Washable Clothing
War-time demands longer work
hours so most women have less
time to keep their clothes in good
condition. 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.”

Grains Are More
Valuable in Silage
Than as Plain Feed
Almost any feed crop is worth
twice as much an acre when made
into silage as it is in the barn or
stack, according to E. 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.
