fit the equipment to be stored.
Shelves for dishes and food sup

narrower shelves are more con
venient for spices and cooking

excellent for silver and small

should be large enough to hold

Q. Please give some informa-
I tion on how cotton grades are
determined.
A. Principal factsordetermin-
■ ing the grades of cotton are col
- or, leaf trash and other foreign
■ I material and ginning prepara
tion, Other quality factors are
. staple length, uniformity, fine
- ness, strength and maturity. At
L the beginning of the season, un
■ picked cotton is usually high in

- in the field for any great length
" of time is apt to be tinged and

i ginned lint and this lowers the
- value of the cotton one or more
grades.
Q. lam building a new house.
; Please give suggestions for size
and arrangement of the living

A. Don’t decide on the size
and shape of the room until you
know what furniture you will
use and how it will be arranged.
Common sizes of living rooms
are 12 to 18 feet wide and 16 to
30 feet long. The fireplace is the
center of family living in the
living room, so place it for com
fort and beauty. This is gen
erally on one of the long sides of
the room. Don’t build a mantel

I Q. Flies disappear after use
i of DDT, but I am curious to

! A, It is generally conceived
? that DDT is a contact poison act
ing upon the nervous system of
. insects. It is also a stomach
; poison when eaten. House flies
r , are killed by resting or walking
for a few minutes on a surface
; containing DDT. The poison en
i ters through the feet, soon caus-
I ing a general paralysis. The
jflies become excited and fly out

>; the impression that insecticide is
; not effective. DDT will probably
■ enter insects at most any point,
but there are certain areas, such
as joints, where the insecticide
will pass through very quickly.
