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

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
