Hints To HOMEMAKERS By MISS RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent CHOICE OP POOD IMPORT ANT ? Nutrition knowledge is especially needed these days when so many people have been alerted to the dangers of overweight. Nutritionists of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture suggest "The smaller the quantity of food eaten, the more important it is to choose foods that rate high in essential nutrients. Otherwise, there is the hazard of running short in vita mins. minerals, and protein. Then, the health advantage of holding down weight may be offset by nutritional deficiencies." Instead of so much emphasis on counting and cutting calories, the nutritionists suggest more at tention to the many foods that have so much to offer nutrition wise. If daily meals include ample protective foods to meet body | needs, they can be both satisfying I and "slimming". / Single copies of the "National Food Guide" (Leaflet 288) are free on request from the Office of Information, U.

County Allotted $2,459 For Weed Program In '57 Farmers Have Until March 1 To Sign Reserve Pacts Macon County has been allot ted $2,459 for its burley tobacco program this year. Burley acreage reserve agree ments for '57 may now be signed by farmers who usually produce burley and who have a '57 "old farm" allotment for burley, accord ing to Max Parrish, chairman of the county A. S. C. committee, which oversees the program. Farmers who take part in the acreage reserve for burley must 6ign agreements calling for a re duction in the farm acreage of burley tobacco below the allot ment. In return for reducing the burley acreage, the U. S. Secretary of Agriculture will make payments based on the productivity of the land put In the reserve. Mr. Parrish points out that signing an agreement is on a first come first-served basis. This is necessary, he says, since the coun ty cannot accept agreements which, in total, require more money than has been allocated for the programs. If the burley money is all obligated before the end of the sign-up period, which is from Feb. 1, 1957, through March 1, 1957, the county office will keep a list of burley producers who want to sign' agreements. If un used funds from other counties or states are reallocated to the county after the regular sign-up period, farmers who are on the list may sign up to the extent that money is available, he said. The deadline for the signing agree ments by producers of burley is March 1, 1957. About half the people in the United States 15 years of age or older drink milk daily. Attention Please !
