Too long washing causes dirt
from the water to go back into
clothing, according to Mrs. Win
nlfred K. 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.

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

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.

compared to the 1943 clip was 20 to Z9

per cent In Texas and the territory
wool states, and for the entire country
16 to 18 per cent. Total shorn wool
production estimates for 1944 are .110
million to 319 million pounds. The
causes of this decrease in production
were partly a lighter shrinking clip

First Indication that the much

the Pacific slope branch of the
American Association of Eco

Dr. McCloud said that four

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

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.
