Clllen, home demon stration agent for Klamath county, Too long washing or too mucn agitation will tend to shrink woolon and make them harsh. For this reason, hand washing it cater for wool fab ric. Mr. Glllen recommends al lowing' only three to five min ute in the washing machine for washing rayon and silks, five to seven minute for slightly soiled cotton and linens, and seven to 10 minute for more soiled cotton. Clothing that doesn't come clean in 10 min utes should be washed a second time In clean suds. It's wise to never wash longer than the maximum time given by the manufacturer of the washing machine without change of suds. When washing by hand, a slightly longer time may be needed, but excessive rubbing will not get clothes clean if the water needs changing, Mrs Glllen stated. You're smart If one of your main Interests is that which you'll get out of War Bonds in tne years to come. IN HOURS IN RAISING SPUDS DETERMINED The number of man hours In volved in raising an acre of Klamath spuds is the subject of an Interesting: new bulletin is sued this month by the agricul tural experiment station oi ure gon State college, according to C. A. Henderson, county agricul tural agent. This interesting booklet was designed to meet a need of farm ers in this and other areas to know exactly how much labor' is required to plant, grow, ana harvest any given amount of po tatoes. Tho Dresent labor short- ago brought thl need to the fore, explain the author of the leaflet, when a careful estimate of labor needs must be made by each employer who must pro vide rooa, nousing ana trans Dortation for his worker, as well a depend upon them to tee tne completion oi nis year work, The average Klamath county acre of potatoes requires 129.2 man hours of work from the in itial disking and plowing of the field In March until the final sorting, loading and marketing, in some cases as late as Novem ber and December. October is the busiest month for the Klam ath Basin potato raisers, when jo.y man-nours oi worn are put in picking on each acre. July and June are the next busiest, with 15.1 and 10.4 hour oar acre respectively. rne study was based on data received from 20 farmers in this area, and on 709 acres on pota toes. The three-year average yield from this land amounted to 280.9 sacks (100 pounds field run) per acre, in addition to the 129.2 man hours per aver age acre. It is estimated that the overhead labor on potatoes amounts to approximately 10 per cent.

Dr. McCloud said that four manufacturing plant are now in production so that supplies by the first of the year will prob ably permit some civilian dis tribution, uui wm De released however, only for such uses for which it is proved sale and ef fective by research work now under way, ot. Mcuud emphasized. Test with DDT were rtarted at the Oregon experiment sta tion and other research centers last fall and are continuing as rapidly as possible. Although early indications are that it will be an extremely valuable insec ticide for certain crop pests, it is by no means a universal in secticide for indiscriminate use, Rieder adds, A recent announcement from the U. S. department of agricul ture says that preliminary tests to date Indicate that DDT is one of the most effective Insecti cides known against such harm ful insects as the gypsy moth, which defoliates trees in New England, and the Codling moth, one of the chief orchard pests. Before it can be released for such widespread use, however, experiments must show more definitely . whether . it - injures plants, whether its use is dan gerous to livestock, wild ani mals, birds, and beneficial in sects, and whether its use on vegetables and fruits would be harmful to man. - Other tests are designed to determine best methods of ap plication, - strength and quanti ties : needed,- possible combina tions with other sprays, and sim ilar necessary information. So far even experimental supplies have not been large enough for the large-scale tests always necessary preceding commercial use. Leaving Strew On Ground Earns AAA Practice Payment CORVALLIS, July 20 (P) Growers of vetch and pea toed crops can earn an AAA prac tice payment of 60 cents an acre for leaving all straw on the ground when combining, or by returning it to the soil a stationary outfit is used, the state AAA office said today. This practice was authorized for the first time last year but the action came so late many Oregon farmers were not noti fied. The fertilizer value of le gume straw is high, and the ad ditional organic matter im proves soil structure, making full use of such straw one of the best conservation practices, according to Oregon State col lege soil specialist.
