This is not only an unattractive sight, but also an unsafe one. Patching mere cracks may be done by yourself with many available preparations. In cases where there is a large Piece out of the ceiling already, you may have to consult a profes- sional plasterer who will have to cut out a section of the ceiling and then patch it. It may be necessary to give the whole ceiling a finish-ing coat of plaster. When side walls need renovating, you have a wide choice of wall-boar-in finished and unfinished varieties. A lumber dealer or building supply dealer can show you various types for specific problems, and also give you help in choosing. If walls are sound but shabby looking, why not try painting or papering them to give the room an elegant new look. If you do not consider yourself an experienced painter, you might try doing the job with a spray which is simple enough for a child to use. As for wallpaper, there are many kinds of ready-paste- d papers avail-able which need only to be damp-ened and hung, each step of which is quite simple. 1 () V Take the case of an old dining room table which is round and was found too small as the family grew in size. The first thing to be done is to saw the legs down to coffee table height. Next the old, dark finish is removed with varnish re-mover and sanding. The table may be finished with lacquer or painted with a high glossy paint, whatever is needed to match the room.

' , A few square feet of clay tile and some built-i- n cup-boards worked wonders In giv-ing this old kitchen more stor-age space. Even space under-neath the sink, so often wasted In old kitchens, was boxed in and now serves for storing the drying rack and cleaning mate-rials. Urainboards and counter are finished with clay tile be-cause of its ease in cleaning and waterproof qualities. The tile was also used to face the lower cabinets, giving them a trim look, and for wall space over the counter tops. Milk Products Add To Turkey Profits More Eggs Result Of Judicious Use Increased egg production of nearly 25 per cent and an increased profit of $2.57 per hen, as result cf adding milk products to the ra-tions of breeding turkeys, is indi-cated In results of a feeding demon-stration reported by the Kraft foods company. Two similar flocks of broad breasted bronze turkeys on the Lester Woodhams' ranch at Sonora, Calif., were placed on test at the beginning of the season. Both flocks were fed a ration consisting of commercial breeder mash in pellet form, some oats and a little corn. One flock had 130 hens and the other 204. Breeding and man-agement of the two flocki wag identical. A pelletized milk pro-duct was added to the ration of the smaller flock. I A', lit .wifi'Y' ,wr tn i finttrrf These turkeys show what ex-cellent results can be obtained by turkey raisers with use of proper feed and control f flocks. Careful records of egg produc-tion and feed consumption were maintained from the start of egg production, February 21, to May 26 when the birds were marketed because of the lateness of the hatch-ing season. Both flocks were pro-ducing at better than 40 per cent when marketed. During the y laying period the 130 hens in the flock receiving the pelletized milk product laid a total of 6,257 eggs, an average of 48.1 eggs each. In the same period the 204 hens in the control flock laid 7,811 eggs, or an average of 38.3 each. This meant that the test flock produced better than 25 per cent more eggs. Rate of production was 51.2 per cent for the test flock compared to 40 per cent for the conrol flock. Eggs from the test flock graded 91.6 per cent saleable for hatching against 89.3 per cent for the control flock. With hatching eggs at 32 cents each, this meant that each hen receiving the pelletized milk product produced an average of $14.11 worth of hatching eggs, or $3.17 more than the average for tha control flock, which was $10.94. hoitie Town IN WASHINGTON tS i - Farm Loan Types fpHREE TYPES of housing loans are available to farmers under the 1949 housing act recently passed by the 81st congress. The I3rm housing program is set up under the B'armers Home Adminis-tration of the department of agri-culture which already is in the business of making loans to farm-ers who have trouble obtaining ciedit from private sources. According to the provisions of the art all borrowers must be approved by the county farmers home committees com-posed of local farmers who are now tied in with the existing program. These committees certify that the borrower Is un-kb- le to get loans from private sources and the loans run to a maximum of 35 years with at t per cent. Under this act only farm owners are eligible for these loans, although farm owners may obtain loans to improve houses of tenants, or sharecroppers or for hired work-ers. First For the larger farms which are sufficiently productive to enable the borrower to repay the loan. The money may be used for improvement of the farm house or for outbuildings. Although as this is written no top limit on size of loans has been set, they may av-erage approximately $2,500 per farm. Second Loans for farms which are considered potentially ade-quate, and indicate that the farm will be helped with aid of the loan. On this type of loan, pay-ments for the first few years are made easier and in certain cases the government may overlook or "forgive" a certain per cent of the first payments. The third type of loan includes grants and loans for very poor farms which hold little hope of be-coming These will enable the poor farmer to improve his house, eliminate unsanitary and unsafe conditions. Grants under this type may be as high as $.")00 with loans running up to SI. 000. The law provides that for the first year 25 million dollars will be available for lending with another two million for out-right grants. According to the government experts probably 13,000 farmers may avail them-selves of these loans. The only fly in the ointment of the measure is that the act merely authorizes the appropriations and it is up to congress to make the ap-propriations each year if the pro-gram is to be carried out as pro-vided in the original act. First year's appropriations likely will be enacted. Public Power Issue Western senators are split wide open on the question of private versus public power, or more specifically the turning over of the big public power dams of the west to the private power interests, as a result of the battle on this ques-tion both in the senate appropria-tions committee and on the floor of the senate. Senators Elmer Thomas of Okla-homa, and Pat McCarran of Neva-da agreed with Senator Kenneth McKellar, Tennessee, to turn the electric production of government-buil- t dams over to monopolistic control of private utilities. Sen-ators Joseph C. O'Mahoney of Wyoming, and Carl Haydcn of Ari-zona, led the fight to continue gov-ernment transmission of electricity produced at the dams to private consumers. How the other members of the committee voted is not certain since there was "no record vote," but Senator McKellar suc-ceeded in getting a majority of the 13 Democrat and eight Republican members to vote his way to turn the electrical product of these d;ims which belong to the people over to the private utilities at vir-tually their own price, since they would be the only customers, and the utilities would in turn sell it to the consumers at their own price. This question of public trans-mission of electricity from the public dams was an issue In the last campaign and one of the pledges of President Truman was that the government would build and operate the transmis-sion lines. Whether this pledge shall be re-deemed at the moment seems ques-tionable and may not be known until the closing hours of this con- - gress. Congressman Walt Horan, of Washington state, declares "humid midsummer in Washington, D.C., is neither the place nor time for calm deliberation and careful de-cision on matters of legislative im-portance to the United States, its citizens or the world." . . . John Foster Dulles, new senator from New York, delegate to the United Nations, Governor Dewey's choice for secretary of state, boldly told his Republican colleagues he wanted a place on the foreign relations committee. Be Smart! Pleats and more pleats are In the fashion picture for fall. You'll find them large and stitched down over the hips In plaids, stripes and tweeds to fluttering accordians In light-weight wool and many kinds of jersey. They're wonderful for school or business because these modern pleats are treated so they are permanent! This fact plus fashion impor-tance make separates more im-portant than ever for the com-ing season, so choose yours to wear as an ensemble, as a blouse and skirt combination or for wear with weskit, crisp pique and ever so many differ-ent blouses and toppers. Bumper Crops Eliminate Famine Scourge in World The "long expected postwar re-cession in agriculture" got under way in 1948, but it W33 proving to be unlike the often mentioned agricultural panic of 1921. The world food crisis, still in a dangerous phase in the early part of the year, became notably easier with the excellent harvests in many parts of the world and, more particularly, the bumper crops in western Europe and the United States. All except a few of the more pessimistic began to regard the food situation with cautious optim-ism. Famine for once was not prevalent in any large portion of the world during 1948. As bumper crop piled on bumper crop, worries returned in the sur-plus exporting areas, particularly the United States, as to whether world markets would continue to absorb the surpluses, and how price support programs and ac-cumulating stockpiles might be managed. This turn of events received em-phasis, as evidence accumulated that the acreage already sown under favorable conditions, and to be sown with wheat for 1949 har-vest, would probably be a new high record. FIRST AID to the S, AILING HOUSE t4 by Roger C. Whitman Marks on Refrigerator QUESTION: 1 have a new re-frigerator with a finish that is not porcelain. I would like to know what to take marks off with. 1 mean when something is bumped against it and leaves a black mark. I have a small child, so you can imagine how many bumps the refrigerator gets. A cleaning agent removes the finish. I. would appre-ciate this information. ANSWER: As the refrigerator is still new, why not call up the deal-er who sold it to you and ask him either to come and clean it up for you or else recommend a cleans-ing preparation? I could give you a better answer if you had told me what the material is, since it is not porcelain. If the finish is wash-able, which it certainly ought to be, try a damp cloth sprinkled with a scratchless scouring pow-der, rub very lightly, and follow with another clean, damp cloth. The powder should not be used except in instances of stubborn spots. Mild soap and water on a damp cloth should be sufficient. l I HEADER'S COURTROOM I Badgering a Widow By Will Bernard, LL.B. editor Badger i 'or His Money? - ' borrowed some money and then found :e to keep up the pay- - ) morning, a man from :cmpany came to her angrily demanded that :: at or.ce.

At a court hearing, the barber pleaded that such items were exempt from attachment be-cause they were the "tools" he needed to carry on his trade. And the judge agreed with him. Order-ing the creditor to keep hands off these articles, the judge said that no g man would go to a barber who didn't have "the usual incidentals."
