Thomas, nu tritionist of the State College Exten sion Service. Likewise, soft boiled eggs may be hard cooked, she says. In discussing the "how" of egg cookery, Miss Thomas offered sug gestions in connection with the see ond week of the Springtime Egg Fes tival, a consumer-producer campaign to increase the use of eggs, which begins. April 11. This diive has the suport of C F. Parrish and other extension puultrymoil bt stale is lege. The Southeastern Chain Store Council, through P. D. May, its North tive in the Egg Festival. Miss Thomas explained that eggs should always be cooked slowly, at moderate, even heat. High cooking temperature's make eggs tough, "For either soft cooked or hard cooked eggs with tender whites," the nutri tionist said, "the eggs should be placed in boiling water and then the vessel should be sot back from tlie heat where the wuter will simmer but nut boll. Fin soft eookliigileavc th? eggs in the water six minutes; for hard cooking, allowing 20 min utes. . ,'Thc same general method is fol lowed in poaching eggs. That is, the water should be boiling when th? eggs are put ill, but the heat should be lowered immediately and t^ie eggs cooked at the simmering tempera ture." The State College poultry special-] ists point out that eggs are cheap now | and the wise honiemaker will use quantities of them in the family meals, since they are one of the pro tective foods needed in every diet.

During the winter 10 per cent to 50 per cent of bee colonies are lost through cold. Surviving colonies be come greatly weakened through j mortality caused by excessive heat produced by the bees in their efforts ' to keep warm. A recently developed cotton cover ' for beehives may answer the bee keeper's problems, the National Cot-' ton Council believes, reducing losses o less than one per cent. I Half Of U. S. Farmer?
