If the sulphur dioxide does a better job of pre serving the feeding value in ths silage will it more than make up for the fact that it adds no feeding value itsslf?

Columbia county home extension agent, because ths ru mor is again sprtading that the freezing of nylon stockings will make them wear longer. There’s nothing new in the idea, becaus? the company that makes th'* 1 yarn investigated th< matter b fore the war and again when the current story started making the rounds. There’s nothing to it, cither, they have proved. Freezing adds nothing to the w arabilitv of stockings and has no effect on the nylon one way or another. Incindentally, Miss Gallatin re minds women that unless the manufacturer giv s special in structions, blends of nylons should be handled as if th' y were made entirely of nylon. And don’t freez ’em.
