Regu larity of weave, even spacing of thread, regularity in size of threads, and the straightness of weave, that is. warp and filling threads at true right angles to each other, are qua lities that are essential both to good appearance and durability of the material. Broken threads, rough places where an uneven or knotted thread occurs, are in many cases the cause of a tear or hole In the fabric when it Is used or laundered. Cot tons with coarse or heavy warp threads and lighter or finer filling threads or vice-versa are only as strong as their weakest threads.

One excellent way to help the family finances is to take care of the things the family already has. says Azalea Sager, of O.S.C., which is probably the collegiate way of expressing the old saying that "a penny saved is a penny earned.” What Miss Sager is referring to in this instance, however, is the ad visability of proteoting woolens and furs from the ravages of moths dur ing the summer. In her capacity of extension spec ialist in clothing and textiles. Miss Sager has gathered suggestions to gether designed to assist the home- maker in protecting things made of ‘ wool, hair, feathers or fur, as all these are attacked by the common clothing moth. The first line of defense is fre quent inspection, with brushing, beating, sunning and cleaning. The eggs of the moths are delicate and can usually be destroyed easily. Sunning Is always a valuable aid, while dry-cleaning or laundering will destroy either the eggs or the larvae. Of course, it is the larve or worm tage in which the moths do the damage. The moth itself is a small, uff- olored miller with a halt-inch wingspread, and seen usually flitt- 'ng about In dark places. Its chief business after becoming an adult is to lay eggs and many of them—as high as 300 In the 30 to 40 days of its lite. These are deposited inside a pocket, under pleats, in folds of blankets, or similar secluded places. These eggs hatch In from three to four days under favorable condi tions. Once cleaned, fabrics may be pro tected indefinitely by being wrapped In paper or stored in tight closets or chests. Ordinary firm wrapping paper will do, or several thicknesses of newspapers will serve very well. Napthalene, the basis of the old familiar moth balls, may be pur chased in flake form and is very ef fective for protecting clothing in tight closets, trunks and chests, says Mrs. Sager. The flakes, sprink led throughout clothing, give off fumes that destroy all stages of moths. Paradichlorobenzene—which fruit growers know as "paradi” and use for eradicating prune root borers— is recommended as equally effective used the same way as napthalene. ANSWER TO A LADY'S LETTER A lady writes to say that she does not understand why an 8-cylinder car does not cost more to run than a car with fewer cylinders. She refers to my statement that our Ford V-8 develops moré power on a gallon “n of gas than any car we have made. The use of 8-cylinders does not mean the addition of two or four extra fuel consumers. It is not, for example, a 4-cylinder engine multiplied by two. Our 8-cylinder engine takes the fuel supply o fl ordinary 4-cylinder engine and divides it eight ways. And why? By reducing four larger explosions into eight smaller ones we engine smoothness and quietness. Eight-cylinders indicate the way the gas is used, not the amount. It is just the difference between going Cory d I upstairs in four long jumps or in eight ordinary steps. • Two things use up gas—bad engine design and useless car weight. Besides having an engine that gets a high percentage of power out of the fuel, the Ford V-8 has a light, strong body and chassis so that no power Sew. “wit “ teas is wasted in moving excess weight. The only extravagance about the new Ford V-8 engine is in the building of it. The extravagance is ours—the economy is yours. The whole question of car economy needs clearing up. *6 te i • r £4. -4 » THURSDAY. JULY 27, 1933.______ THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. PAGE FOUR ----------- An economical car gives economy all round. Price, operation, upkeep, all play their part. If what you save on gas you lose elsewhere, that is not economy As to upkeep, our dealers say that in recent years the improved quality of Ford cars has cut down their repair business 50 per cent. As to price with quality .—Judge for yourself. As to economy, here is the record of a stock car three weeks out of shop in Oklahoma the Ford On a run of 10,054 miles at the rate of 1,000 miles a day Not a drop of water was added V-8 gave 18.8 miles per gallon of gas to the radiator. The oil was changed once in 1,000 miles POOR FEEDING CUTS PROFIT ON POULTRY Balanced Ration Necessary, Expert Advises. Instead of substituting, there has been considerable subtracting done In feeding poultry, and as a consequence, some poultrymen are failing to get the income they should get from their flocks. Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poul try department at North Carolina state college, says considering its great importance, feeds and feeding for poul try In generally less understood than any other phase of the industry. This lack of information Is shown especial ly when an attempt Is made to sub stitute certain feeds on hand at home for those which should be purchased or exchanged. Mr. Dearstyne declares that poultry requires a balanced ration containing protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins In an available form. These should be given In the quantity and of the quality to maintain the bodily vigor of the fowls and permit them to lay according to their highest ability. It is important to give the birds plenty of water because the fowl's body Is 55 per cent water and the egg Is over 65 per cent water. Animal proteins as supplied by fish meal, meat meal or milk products are also necessary. It is not enough to rely on the vegetable proteins supplied In certain of the grain feeds. The fats supplied by grain feed are usually enough for poultry but min erals should be supplied by bone meal, oyster shell, limestone, rock phos phate and salt. Mineral deficiencies in the ration are common. More Encouragement for Profit in Poultry Game According to figures Issued by the United States Department of Agricul- ture, the number of hens and pullets in farm flocks is from 4 to 5 per cent greater than one year ago. It is thought that egg production may not be larger for some time to come. The reason given for this estimate is the higher percentage of late hatched pullets, and also because It Is doubtful whether this winter will be as mild as that of a year ago. Aside from this, the storage situa tion is more favorable. Holdings of case eggs on September 1 were 34 per cent below those on the correspond ing date last year, and 37 per cent be low the average of the last five years. With this reduction in storage sup plies, even if current production should prove larger than last year, there would still be a considerably smaller supply of eggs available for consumption during the next few months. Egg shipments from the Pacific coast have been light for some time, and may decrease still further, be cause of a 13 per cent estimated de crease of chicks raised last spring and summer. The low price of feed will also be an important factor In bring ing profitable returns from all flocks which are well hred and well fed.— Wallace’s Farmer. Hens That Do Not Lay Should Be Culled Out If one could he certain that he has hens and pullets In his flock that would not lay any eggs until next spring he would not want to feed them all winter. One way of reducing the feed cost of producing eggs Is to etili ont un desirable birds at Intervals frequent enough to prevent their getting very much feed without paying for It. Among the laying flock there arc hens of this class such as those that loafed through the summer, laying too few eggs to be profitable. There may also be diseased hens or those out of con dition that should not be carried any longer. Among the pullet flock may be poorly developed, diseased, or oth erwise unfit birds that should come out. It Is not quite fair, nor good business, for a good hen to pay for the feed eaten by a cull.—Hoard's Dairyman. Feed Hens Freely If your poultry flock Is not produc ing as efficiently as you know It should be. chock up on the available feeding and watering space. See that there Is plenty of room for all the birds to eat freely and see further that they are given a good balanced ration which will stimulate and maintain egg pro- duction. Poorly-fed birds will not be good producers. Hens will pay a bet ter price for feed than any other kind of animals produced on the farm.— Prairie Farmer. That should answer a lot of questions. Poultry Must Re Meaty o. July 24th, 1933 Trying to raise poultry meat with Insufficient feed has been a great dis- appointment to some beginners, says the Indiana Farmer's Guide. Whole sale buyers quickly run their fingers down the breast hones of the birds they buy. Roasters with razor breasts are quickly classe as No 2 hires and buyers do not want them. At least the price per pound to the producer is too low to show anything hut a loss Thus there is proof that It pays to raise No. 1 birds.
