What can I do when I have inadvertently added to much salt to food while cooking? A. Stretch a clean cloth tightly over the vessel and sprinkle a tablespoon of flour over the cloth. The flour will absorb the salt if allowed to steam for a few minutes. Q. How can I clean the insides of glass drinking straws? A. Just by running some of hubby’s pipe cleaners through them. Q.

TIPS FROM CLEMSON HOME & OUTDOORS Q. What is a general rule for watering potted house plants? A. Various species require dif fering soil moisture conditions. A general rule is to apply suf ficient water to wet the entire pot, to the point where some drains from the bottom. Then wait until the potting mixture is rela tively dry before the next water ing. This may be from one to several days depending on the potting mixture, the size of the plant, and room temperature. This drying period between wa terings is essential to provide sufficient aeration for the roots. A frequent error is to water too often. This may result in condi tions which will actually reduce water up-take by plants. It also encourages the growth of fungi and bacteria which cause root rots and other diseases. — J.R. Haun, associate professor of hor ticulture. Q. Enclosed are two empty co coons found on Himalayan black berries. These berries produced very little this year.

Just as soon as the eggs hatch next Spring, around May 15, apply a Sevin spray. Sevin has a wait ing period of seven days on ber ries. -- W.C.

It is possi- ble that some kind of sucking in- sect fed in this area of the leaves, or on the stems. The tree may be experiencing shock from root or £ trunk damage, either from pest or man-made causes. I presume •j: the leaves were falling before the :j: spray was applied. Your county •ji agent may be able to help by examining the tree. - F.H. Smith, associate Extension spe- cialist, pathology. Q.
