Agriculturists tell us pork and beef prices probably will continue to go up in 1985 due to smaller amounts available and the price of feed. Lamb will be ordered more, so its' price will be maintained or will go a little higher. Poultry and eggs will be somewhat higher on account of the shortage of feed. There is a fair supply of dried beans and peas. When milk la used as a supplement, beans and peas make fair protein standbys when low costs have to be consid ered used baked or boiled for the adults and older children and strained in soup for the smaller children. Fish is an excellent protein food for growth and repair of muscle , and tissue. . It is easily digested.
