How Can I?
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I remove sur
face discolerations from my
bathtub?
A. Mix a paste of baking
powder and peroxide, apply
to the discolored areas and,
after this has dried, wash it'
away—and the original luster
should then be restored. Inci
dentally, this is also a very
good method of brightening
up the finish on your refrig
erator.
Q. How can I renew some
rancid butter?
A. Break the butter up and
put into fresh milk. Allow it
to absorb the milk, drain
thoroughly, then wash in cold
salted water, and work it
again into th^* desired form.
Q. When applying new
enamel paint over an already
enameled surface, how can I
prevent it from running?
A. Try adding a little corn
starch to your enamel.
Q. Have you any tips on
the easier application of oil
stains or water stains on raw
wood?
A. Try using a cellulose
sponge, instead of a brush. A
sponge will require less fre
quent dipping, and will make
it easier to regulate the
amount being applied. And
in addition, the square edges
of the sponge help when work
ing in corners or along edges.
Q. What can I do when
burned starch has accumu
lated on the bottom of my
electric iron?
A. Disconnect the iron, al
low it to cool, then apply a
paste silver polish to the
starched areas. Wipe the
iron with a slightly damp
cloth and follow with dry one.
This should do the trick .

CLEMSON—If and when it
becomes necessary to increase
South Carolina’s output of
feed grains, the volume may
be upped by using grain
sorghum—a crop that is pres
ently in the small crop cate
gory in this state.
According to S. C. Crop
Reporting Service forecasts,
the expected volume of grain
sorghums is at the bottom of
the list of feed grain crops
which include corn, oats, bar
ley, and rye.
Only 160,000 bushels of
grain sorghum is forecast for
this year in S. C. This com
pares with 21.7 million bush
els of com, 3.6 million bushels
of oats, 644,000 bushels of
barley, and 380,000 bushels of
rye. Together they total 26
million bushels.
Th exact consumption vol
ume of feed grains in S. C.
is not an easy figure to ob
tain. There are both imports
and exports taking place. The
actual consumption., rate is
variable, and corresponds to
the rising and falling inven
tories of livestock and poultry.
An indication of how much
feed grain S. C. livestock and
poultry producers use was
given last year by L. D.
Malphrus, associate professor
of agricultural economics at
Clemson University.
He placed the corn con
sumption — the most impor
tant feed grain—at 27.5 mil
lion bushels. This included
the corn used for human con
sumption and seed. Use of the
others feed grains was not
estimated.
BASED on this corn con
sumption estimate, it appears
that S. C. continues to be a
deficit state in actual grain
production.
In the opinion of Clemson
Extension agronomists, the
grain supply in this state can
be increased by expanding
the corn crop in the lower
Coastal Plains, and by im
creasing the acreage of grain
sorghums elsewhere in the
state.
H. V. Rogers, Extension
agronomist, savs two bird
resistant varieties of grain
sorghum, Ga. 615 and Ark.
614, offer good opportunities
for economical grain produc
tion in areas where rainfall
is too uncertain for economi-.
cal corn production.
Today, Rogers says, farm
ers are faced with the prob
lem of deciding which crop
ment that is used for corn. It
or combination of crops will
'be more profitable.
He believes that grain sor
ghum should be given consul-
eration. The crop can be
produced with the same equip
ment that is used for corn.
It is more drought resistant.
And it can be planted later in
the season, often following
small grain, and produce
good yields.
“On the best farms,’’ Rog
ers states, “yields of 60 to 80
bushels are beinig made. Most
of the farmers Who are trying
the new varieties are making
a permanent place for grain
sorghums in their system.”
The Clinton Chapter of the
Christian Business Men’s Commit
tee received its charter at a dinner
meeting recently at Hotel Mary
Musgrove . The charter was pre
