NOV 24, 1 «155 MAKE A ROOM DIVIDER ‘How to Use Plaids and Stripe's’ will be discussed when home ex- tension project leaders from the Timber Route, Keasey, Mist-Ne halem and Vernonia units meet next Thursday, December 1, in the teachers lunch room at the Washington school in Vernonia. The meeting is scheduled start at 10:30 a m. and close 3:00 p.m. An attractive room divider 1» ; 9-inch lumber for the shelves . ... and ... made vf 1 by ... 12-inch 1 by anJ frame, and 1 by 4-mch lumber for the door framing. The lower portion may bo equipped with sliding doors, or with hardwood plywood display panels on one side. Make the completed divider and slide it in place. Fasten it to one wall, ceiling and floor. Project leaders are asked bring sack lunches and their own beverage. Also they will need scraps of plaids and stripes they may have on hand and a dress using plaids or stripes. The dress may be either homemade or rea dy made. Some of the most interesting materials on the market today are plaids and stripes but skillful use of these materials requires thought, time, and patience. Plaids are for everyone in the family, so leaders will discuss how to choose them to suit the individual as well as how to read them—that is whether they are balanced or unbalanced. Other points discussed will be how to select patterns and how to check them to determine whether the plaids and stripes can be matched perfectly, and how to place the pattern on the material so that the plaids and stripes will match at center, front and back, underarm, collar, sleeve and skirt.

November Snow Affects Winter Hay Supplies There’s a good chance that h prices will be going up b.fore spring. Indications arc that hay prices are apt to advance more than grain and mixed feed prices thanks to the heaviest Nov ember snow in years. Here is a good opportunity for the livestock operator to stretch his hay supply, but it is important to remember that it’s too late to use grain to stretch hay after the hay is used. Stepping up the grain in the ration right now looks like good insurance. It might be a wise move to do some figuring on the cost of the total digestible nutrients of the differ ent feed components, too. Some of the low priced grains may sup ply a pound of digestible nutrient for less cost than from a high priced legume hay. An OSC bulletin, “Feeding for Milk Production,” pnlvides some very good information on this subject and at the same time gives tables on the composition of some of more common feedstuffs WAITE VERNONIA EAGLE.
