Veterinarian Says Corn Being Wasted Raleigh, November Pth— There I is an "alarming" waste of valuable ! corn on young, growing pigs, ac ! cording- to State Veterinarian Dr. William Moore. He pointed out that year-; ago some <v. the hest herds were let’ no corn at all until they weighed 100 pounds. Fed on ground oats, pasture, and milk, these pigs were physically fit. and hail good tram e sand muscles. Dr. Moore ex plained that wheat, barley and oats contain more niacin, panthothentic acid and similar factors, than does corn. "The proper balance of feed ele ments is just as important as the amount of feed given an animal said Dr. Moore in stating that "many farmers today are feeding fattening corn rations too early in the pig's life.” -- "A careful appraisal indicates the dilinite need for a continued high level of agricultural produc tion in 1945,” says ,1. B. Hutson, president of the FCY and Direct n of Production for WFA. FOOD FACTS IN A NUTSHELL Northwestern states hate taken up the production of p PPX seed, no longer imported. Seeds are so small, 900.000 are in a pound. | Spaghetti is made either did or tubular, in diameter from ->-ii 1 of an inch to 7-04 of an inch. Vegetables usually sold by weight include onions which run 4 to 0 to a pound; parsnip. , 3 to 4; tomatoes, :} to 4: sweet potatoes' 3 to pound when displayed in med-j ium sizes, says the Aand I’ Ser vice for Home-makers. Shredded lettuce or a salad base usually is more economical than I the use of a whole leaf since the whole lettuce leaf often remains uneaten. Frosted vegetables should be kept frozen until cooking time. The vegetables then should be plunged into boiling water, remembering to cook about half a- long as fresh vegetables. American civilians can expect more of the better grades of beet this fall and winter than was pre- 1 viously anticipated, says the Wari Food Administration. Stocks of canned evaporated milk held by wholesale grocers on September 110 showed a moderate decline from stocks held on June IJOand were less than half as large as on September 30, 1943. Returns from sales of Govern ment owned food by the War Food Administration during September for eiivlian use totalled $1,-06, 924. MMBWBWVWWW • . ...
