Show FARM anuHOME&J By Louis A. Jensen County Agricultural Agent During the month of May, girls 4-H Clubs are organizing) for their summer program There are many girls who would like to enroll in 4-H Club work who are not able to do so because be-cause sufficient leaders have not been found. We appeal to the women who can to volunteer their services to help conduct this worthy movement for our youth. On July 15 at 2 p. m. in the Mt. Emmons LDS Church two outstanding demonstrations will be conducted. One will be a freezing demonstration by Elna Miller, extension nutrition specialist, spe-cialist, and the other will be a canning demonstration by Hat-tie Hat-tie Kilgore, of the Kerr Canning Company. All women in the upper up-per country are invited and urged to attend. We promise that this event will be very much worthwhile and hope it will be well attended. About three miles southwest of Roosevelt, near Highway -40. experiments are being conducted conduct-ed on the control of Russian Knapweed. The Duchesne County Coun-ty Weed Committee is sponsor-1 ing a tour Saturday, May 24, at 2 p. m. to visit this farm and j observe the results. The public' is invited to come. Those wishing wish-ing to go may meet at the County Coun-ty Agent's office at 2 p. m., or go directly to the farm. Recently we have had many requests for' information on stain removal in clothing. Th3 following information is given on this subject. Two of the most common stains that seem to get on children's chil-dren's clothes are grass and ink. If these stains were always on white, it would be easy to take them out. Stains on washable colored and non - washable clothes may be taken out, too, if the correct methods are used. The following stain removals for grass and ink are suggested: suggest-ed: Grass On white cottons or linen, rub with lard or oil. wash in hot suds. If stain remains, use a bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Rinse thoroughly. On washable colored material, mater-ial, wash in lukewarm suds, treat stains with diluted alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. Rinse thoroughly. Non-washables, sponge with dry cleaning fluids. Test fabric fab-ric first to be sure color will not change. Ink On white cotton or linen, soak in cold water, then apply vinegar or lemon juice. If stains remain, use household bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Wash in hot suds. If stain is not removed, treat with diluted hydrogen peroxide per-oxide and rinse at once. On non-washables, use an ab- sobrent such as corn starch or white talcum powder on moist or new stain Work the powder into the moist stain, shake off as it becomes colored, and repeat until the stain is removed. More complete information on stain removal is given in Farmers Bulletin 1474. Copies of this are available at my office. |
