Fine Weaving Goes
Into Oriental Rugs
The number of knots that go into
a room-size oriental rug seems
almost incredible to contemplate.
According
According to the type, the knots
vary from 64 to 400 to every square
inch of the weaving. Average weav-
ing has from 64 to 100 knots to the
inch, fine weaving from 144 to 225.
The very fine weaving found in
some rugs may run as high as 400
or more to the square inch. Months,
even years, of patient knotting may
be needed to produce a room-size
rug.
There are two major types of
knotting in oriental rugs—the Per-
sian, or Sehna knot, and the Turk-
ish, or Ghlordes knot. Both types
produce rugs of lasting beauty,
charm and durability. The Turkish
knot generally is used by weav-
ers west of the Caspian sea, and
the Ghiordes knot is employed by
weavers in some districts of Persia
(Iran) and far east of the Caspian,
in Iran both types of knots are
used.
Tlie Persian knot is also called
be S nna (Sehna) knot, from' the
-itnous rug-weaving center where
t was originated. This knot is tied
:> that one end of pile yarn ex-
ends from every spacing that sep-
■ates warp threads. A noose is
armed which tightens the yarn as
t is pulled. The so-called right-
end Sehna and left-hand Sehna
re merely different methods of ex-
ecuting tlie same type of knot.

Removing White Spots
on Furniture.
White spots on varnished furniture
mjay be caused by standing water, hot
dishes, or alcohol, says Miss Sybil
Guthrie, county home demonstration
agent. There are ways of removing
both slight and severe Spots, and Miss
Guthrie sives tlie following sug-
gi stions to homemakers :
if tlie spots are slight, they may
be removed simply by rubbing with
camphorated oir or oil of pepper-
mint. Or they may disappear when
tlie surface of tlie furniture is wusli-
od with a mixture of 1 quart of warm
water, 3 tablesiiooiis of boiled lin-
seed oil and 1 tablespoon of turpen-
tine; then dried with a soft dry
cloth, and rubbed with, furniture
polish. *
For more severe white spots—those
that are old or very deep-^lth abras-
ive may be needed as well as oil, says
Miss Guthrie. One mixture that may
be used for removing them is salt and
-U'~cfest Means for
Assuring Safe Butchering
There are many hazards in butch-
r n; an animal, and special care
:■ necessary to avoid accidents. One
f the greatest causes of injuries is
. Is due lo slippery footing. If the
'.b is dene indoors, sand, sawdust
r crushed rock salt help the foot-
ry.
Fcrie are some suggestions to
i" he butchering operations safe:
K ep cl! butchering knives in a
rich when not in use; keep
lives sharp and handles in good
condition; observe all the ordinary
rerauUons with firearms, used for
.•turning. Keep them unloaded when
not in use, and use a tamper to
■ dt < e meat into the meat grinder.
K'ep children away from all
butc’ ering operations; do not use
■■asoline or kerosene to quicken a
noldering fire; clean or mop up
all grease from floors immediately;
inspect all hoisting equipment to
-ce that hooks are secure and blocli
and tackle in good condition, and
make sure Uriimals are thoroughly
si, up red before attempting to stick.
Use extreme care in handling the
scalding water; whet knives away
from tlie body; avoid strain from
overlifting; always cut or chop away
from your body; keep knife handle
free of grease; apply first aid to all
cuts, scratches or burns immedi-
ately.
Jackson County farmers, who have
received FSA loans for tlie purchase
of farms, met in Edna -Tuesday,
March 12th, to review records of
bust year and to play for 1940.
The meeting was attended by Mr.
and Mrs. Auber C. Browning, Mr.
Dick Gosper, Mr. Joe Kueera, Mr.
Joe F. Kusak, and Mr. and Mrs. Sam
Westmoreland.
Miss Hipes, Area Home Manage-
ment Supervisor, ami Mr. John A.
Langston, District FSA Supervisor,
bot hjjf, JJpust on, Texas, were present
tijtri led some of tlie discussions.
Mr. John Stovall, county agent, led
the discussion of soil building prac-
tices. Mr. William F. Minkert, FSA
Supervisor, reviewed reords of the
past year. ' »
Mr. Minkert reported that of
21 farm ownership loans made in
Jackson Conub’ since the beginning
of tlie program the years -ago, 17 are
ahead of schedule, 1 is Just oil sched-
ule, 1 is paid in full, and 2 are a lit-
tle behind schedule.
In spile of hurricane damage to
crops tlii‘ average farmer was able
lo pay $771 on Ills land debt Inst
year which was almost double the
average schedule repayment of $341.
The average farm owner 1ms paid
ahead of schedule $1280 in three
years.
Mr. Lanston said that Jackson
County farmers have made a very
good record and compare favorably
with the other ten counties in the
district. Of 222 farm ownership
loans made by tlie Farm Security Ad-
ministration in eleven Gulf Coast
counties from here to Louisiana, 70%
are ahead of schedule, 8% are paid
out in full, 14%.are on schedule, and
only N% are behind schedule. Both
in\ Jackson County and in the dis-
trict Collections on land debts are
more than double the total amount of
tlie scheduled payments.

Tree Rot
Decay in the butt of the tree oc-
curs when the butt or roots are dam-
aged. One cause of such rot is fire
in the woods. Another way in which
butt rot gets started is through
wounds on the roots caused by the
feet of grazing livestock. Rot in
the tops of the trees occurs when
branches are broken by ice storms,
heavy snow, or by trees being blown
down and tearing the branches of
other trees. WheriJjkigging is car-
ried on, great careis necessary in
order to prevent serious damage to
the trees left standing. Good for-
estry practices include protection
for the younger trees during log-
ging operations. To avoid such dam-
age, the foresters suggest locating
skid trails so that the skidding logs
will riot strike the standing trees
and so that log chains and cables
will not rub on standing trees, and
using care in felling trees so that
as they drop they will no^ mash the
tops of other trees which are to be
left standing.

Poultry Freezing,
With poultry of all kinds in ex-
cellent supply and extra space in
most home freezer units at this time
of the year, chicken is an economical
food to freeze and very dcsigable to
have on hand, says Miss Sybil Guth-
rie, county home demonstration agent,
and she otiers the following sug-
gestions for freezing poultry. •
First, choose a good plump bird.
Even a fryer should weigh around,
2Mi pounds. Select •’ (I good bird to
begin with if you wish to have a
choice frozen product.
Next, semi-scald the bird, hut be
very careful that the water isn’t so
hot that it pre-cooks the skin. This
will spoil the looks of the fowl and
-may cause! the meat to dry out.Heat
the water to 120-130 degrees F, not
quite hot enough to burn the hand
when testing!
Another -precaution is the chilling.
The bird should be chilled thorough-
ly after scalding and dressing. After
chilling, it is ready to be wrapped In
freezer paper and put in storage. ' *
A final suggestion is to wrap the
gibl§H& separately before chilling.
You will find them handier this "Way,
says Miss , Guthrie.
■ African Violet
The African violet has earned its
wide popularity because it will
bloom for many months at*a 4ime
when happily situated and property
cared -for. It likes a place in a north
window and plenty of water; but
like any other plant, it can have
its roots rotted away if water stands
in the pot. Subirrigation is the best
method for watering this plant.
Stand the pot in a saucer of water
occasionally, and let the soil be-
come thoroughly wet. Don’t water
again until the surface looks sbme-
what dry. The foliage is easily
marred by water. Cold water on
the leaves will cause white or light
brown marks, and water of any
temperature on the leaves, coupled
with exposure to sunlight, will cause
a, burn, .For safety's sake,, keep
the foliage dry.

Ancient Dolls
From the dawn of the world, the
everyday play dolls were usually
made of wo.od, which has vanished
into dust, so that it is only the clay
dolls which have come down to us
from earliest antiquity,’"-About H00
B.,C., the foundation was laid of a
stone temple ip Persia into which
bystanders threw all manner of toys
and dolls- which have been unearth-
ed. Among them was a little wood-
en doll that kneaded dough on a
breadboard when a str:ng was
pulled. Time has decayed the
threads, but the manner -of joining
the various pacts together with ani-
mal glue was tKe same as Is now
used in the manufacture of modem
dolls.
