Ibis past year, more homemakers have taken up the profitable amusement than ever before. In a recent nationwide survey, teasons given most often for the sudden boom la home sewing were "to economise an clothing expenses" and "ft* entertainment" Many home sewers reveal that Bay use their empty cotton teed find flour bags as an Inexpensive source of attractive sewing material. In recent years bag manufacturers have recognised the fact that •ades have further use after they have served as containers for commodtties such as feed, flour, sugar, and salt Today many bags are designed in gay dress prints, *olor> ftd •tripes, and bright geometric patterns, as well as solid white, so thai women can take advantage oC the bags In creating lovely and house decorations "after original contents are emptied. Ifee home sewing boom has given an idea to soaae bakers who use boas quantities of flour. IMn bakers bunder their empty bags and put them on sale in their eAwing sewing material to customers st minimum cost of the bakers sell large quantities ot the empty eotton flour bags to grocery stores, which in turn, offer them to their Storage Bins OftaH To Prevent Insect With one of the biggest g^in wops in history now in storage will pay farmers to check storage bins periodically for insect damage, suggests Gordon Mickle, entomologist for the Colorado A A M college extensive service. If weevils or other granary insects are destroying your grain, you can still prevent further damage by fumigation. Although grain fumigation is most effective at air temperatures of 65 to 70 degrees, many weevils are killed at lower temperatures. Carbon disulfide is the most effective material, but sines it is highly inflammable, it should not be used if it creates a fire hazard. Commercially prepared fumigants are available which, are less of a fire hazard than carbon disulfide. When fumigating Mickle ssys the following points should be kept in snind: (1) Make the bin as air tight as possible. (2) If carbon disulfide is used, keep all fires away. A spark from turning on an electric light may ignite the fumigant (S) Bury burlap sacks about half way and pour on fumigant then cover with e tarpaulin to confine the fumes. (4) Use carbon disulfide at the rate of one pound for each 29 biNhels of grain. Use commercial mixtures as directed snd allow bin to fumigate for 40 hours or longer. oomflktip nr •« of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois, launched more than 10 years ago. was virtually completed during 1948 with S1.C4S, or M.5 per cent of the 81,700 farms in the company's €200 square-mile service area having electricity available at the end of the year.
