USDA. In addition, dry milk
products which a s to be used
as ingredient? m processed
meat products must be produc
ed in appi jved plants which
meet the basic plant sanita

quirements of the C&MS Dairy
Division’s grading service.

RECORD POTATO CROP
EXPECTED FOR STATE
HARRISBURG Pennsylva
nia potato growers are looking
forward to their best crop in
years. If August 1 forecasts
materialize, the crop will yield
8.775,000 hundredweight. The
Pennsylvania Crop Reporting
Service says this will mean an
increase of 39 percent over last
year and 17 percent above the
1961-65 average.
Yield per acre is expected to
average a record high of 225
cwt. The previous high was 200
cwt. set in 1961. Acreage for
this year’s crop is estimated at
39,000, the same as 1966 and
the five-year average.
The first forecast of the U S.
1967 fall potato crop places
production at 229,463,000 cwt.,
one percent above last year
and six percent above 1965.

serious damage to fabrics such
as those containing silk, wool,
or spandex.
Because liquid chlorine
bleaches are fast-acting, mix
the bleach thoroughly with wash
water before you add the
clothes. Use no more than one
tablespoon liquid chlorine
bleach to one gallon water.
Add bleach to wash water
since its effectiveness is greater
when combined with detergent.
Chlorine bleaches reduce the
effect of fluorescent whiteners
in many laundry detergents.
To get maximum effective
ness from both whitener and
bleach, agitate the clothes with
the detergent solution for about
four minutes before you add
bleach.
You can use oxygen bleaches
safely on all fibers natural
and man-made,, and for resin
finished cottons.
Oxygen bleaches are most ef
fective in hot water.
How To Remove Chewing Gum

Here are some suggestions on
how to remove chewing gum ef

Weeds Cause Problems
In Streams And Ponds
Weeds in streams and ponds
can make them unfit for any
recreation use. Aquatic vege
tation, according to Dr. James
Parochetti, extension weed
control specialist at the Uni
versity of Maryland, uses wa
ter space that would other
wise produce phytoplankton
(micioscopic plants used for
fish food). Weeds interfere
with fishing and swimming,
and they can even cause fish
to die from lack of oxygen.
Parochetti saysaquatic weeds
can be controlled .by mechan
ical methods such as cutting
and removing them, or by
draining a pond and waiting
for the weeds to dry up and
die. Or weeds can be con
trolled by chemicals.
However, he cautions, some
chemicals that can be used to
control weeds on land are dan
gerous to people and animals
when used in water.
