'43.- Page Two THE NEW BERM MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, February 17, 19W Poultry versus Red Meat During Lenten Season Discussed by Nutrition Expert Questions are often asked con cerning the use of poultry in Lent en dishes. Today, Miss Jo Earp, food and nutrition specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service, answers questions from homemakers. Question: “What are some cheap meat substitutes?” Answer: “Common meat alter nates include poultry, fish, eggs, dry beans and peas, and cheese. Dry beans and peas are likely to be the cheapest of these foods on the basis of cost per serving. Cot tage. Swiss and Cheddar type cheese may be more economical to buy than many cuts of meat— also poultry and eggs, especially when they are in plentiful supply. Certain fish, depending on the lo cality and supply, are inexpensive.” Question: “What are the signs of spoilage in fresh poultry?” Answer: “Off-odors and off-flav ors are the first indications of spoilage. Mold, discoloration, and a putrid odor indicate advanced spoilage.” Chicken can be prepared in many ways as a favorite dish for the family or company. The most popular ways to cook young, tend er chickens, are to broil, fry or roast them. It is when you have one of those older bird—not so tender—that all sorts of tricks are needed to make a toothsome dish. You can make a number of differ ent dishes from a hen after it is stewed.

It is also a good source of blood-building iron, and the health protecting B vitamins. A four-pound dressed hen will give you about three pounds or three to four cups of chicken after cooking. A main dish for two or three meats can be made from this amount if dumplings, rice, or some other extender is used. Children are all foreigners. We treat them as such. Plant Beds Need Care North Carolina farmers should' keep a sharp look out this year for “damping off” ^n their vege table plant beds, warns J. C. Wells, Extension plant pathologist at N. C. State college. “Damping off is cause by fungi in the soil which rot the seed or kjill the young seedling,” says Wells. “In addition, roots are some times decayed, resulting in stunted plants. The disease does the most damage during periods of compara tively warm, cloudy weather.” There are several methods of controlling damping off, says Wells. Two consist of plant bed treatments: Two pounds of methyl bromide per 100 square feet of plant bed. “This will give excellent con trol for damping off, as well as control nematodes and weed seeds,” he says. However, in some cases it may be necessary to supplement methyl bromide treatment with fungicide drench treatments, he says. If this becomes necessary, there are three materials which can be used: The first is 76 per cent Ferbam. “It should be mixed one-half pound to 50 gallons of water and applied at the rate of one-half gallon per square yard,” says Wells. “The first application should be made immediately after seeding, with following applications at 10-day in tervals until plants are ready to set.” The second material is 8Q per cent Captan, mixed two potmdiTpw 100 gallon of water ,and applied at the rate of one-helf gallon per square yard. “The first application should be made Imiriediately after seeding, with following applio*. tions at 10-day Intervals until the plants are ready to set,” says Wells. - ■ The third material la Semesan.
