75 Farmers Get Wool,
Lamb Incentive Funds
A total of 75 farmers received
59,521 in wool incentive pay
ments for wool or unshorn
lambs sold during tne 1970
maiketing year
Under this program, any farm
er who sells, wool or unshorn
lambs can file application for
incentive payment at the County
ASCS Office Original sales
slips must be submitted when
filing 'application
to increase domestic wool pro
duction The payments are
based on the percentage in
cease over the national puce
received bv producers for wool
that will bring the average price
up the national incentive level
of 72 cents per pound. Using a
percentage method to set the
payment rate encourages pro
ducers to do a good job of
marketing the wool.
By Ida Risser
To discourage unusual shear
ing of lambs before marketing,
payments are made on the basis
ol liveweight of marketing of
lambs that have never been
shorn The farmer must own the
lambs moie than 30 days to be
eligible for payment.

Table Linens Still Popular
Table linens are not out of'date, although they have been
used for centuries Covers for tables were used thousands of years
ago
<■ A desire for beauty and a need for cleanli
ness made the use of table linen a natural cus
tom Guests at banquets in ancient Eome wip
ed their hands on the edges of the cloth so
extra large cloths were provided.
In primitive countries, mats woven from
bamboo, twigs, or grasses were usual accom
paniments to meals And m England during
the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, only
used table linen
The emphasis today is on fun without fuss.
When shopping, look for something that re
quites a minimum of care and that best fits
your needs
It’s essential to measure the table before
buying new linens. A tablecloth
looks best when-it extends 12 to
15 inches over the edge of the
table.
Place mats may be round,
oval, rectangular or triangular.
A convenient size is about 14 by
13 inches. Choice of mats will
depend on the size and shape of
your table
You can use table linens as a
protection for your table and as
a unifying agent for all the
items you put on the table.
Even though today’s table lin
ens are called linens, they come
in a variety of fabrics and ma
terials. You have to know what
kind of care each requires Read
the label for information on
care and then follow the in
structions.
Decorative Closets
Any neat, well-planned closet
gives you a sense of orderliness
especially when that closet
is your linen closet And it isn’t
necessary to spend a mint on
expensive carpentry or sacrifice
practicality for a decorator-look
today.
You’ll find wall coveungs and
shelf papers in interesting col
ors and patterns easy to tailor

to your closet And they’re just
as easy to keep clean with a
damp sudsy cloth.
You can face shelves with
equally attractive and washable
edging to frame your linens.
You can even make matching
bands to hold each stack of
sheets, pillow cases, and cloths
neatly in place.
The attractive look of mater
ials with built in soil resistance
may stimulate you to plan
space-saving tricks
Maybe your linen shelves are
stacked only halfway up If so,
you may want to install a short
half-shelf between two regular
ones, on which to store napkins,
fingertip towels, and other
small pieces.
Or you may want to use what
so often is waste space between
the last shelf and the floor to
store blankets in boxes. Cover
the boxes with the same attrac
tive fabric with which you cov
ered the walls or shelves.
An attractive, orderly linen
closet doesn’t have to cost a for
tune just a little bit of your
time and a piece of your ima
gination.
