Fold cloth evenly lengthwise, making a strip 9 inches wide. Pass this through the hot oil. As soon as well soaked, run through the wringer, setting set-ting it as tight as possible. Spread on grass- immediately and do not fold or leave indoors until thoroughly dry. Drying may take a week or more. This solution will treat about fifty yards of" cloth. |
