LET'S HAVE AN ICE CREAM SOCIAL!
(See Recipes Below)
ICE CREAM *N CAKE
Shining in their starched dresses,
the girls are ready "to recite their
pieces," the boys, slicked and
combed, are watching them shylv.
and everyone's
waiting for re
freshment time
to come. Of
course, it's an
ice cream social,
that typicaily
American festi
val to which
homemakers
bring their most
delectable cakes and choicest icc
cream. There, too, you'll find lem
onade, "made in the shade by the
old maid."
There was a time when an ice
cream social, though as pleasant an
affair as you'd find on the summer
calendar, carried with it a great
deal of careful preparation. Ice
cream had to be kept in heavy con
tainers which in turn were wrapped
in blankets, and if the speeches and
program lasted too long it was
apt to be more melted than icy
when you were finally served. But
no longer do you have such a risk.
The ice cream can be stored in your
refrigerator and it will be kept real
ly hard.
Making ice cream with the freez
er method is fun, and usually the
whole family gets together to do
some of the cranking. The freezer
has a wooden or metal bucket hold
ing the ice and salt and a non
rusting metal container with a close
ly fitting cover for holding the mix
ture to be frozen. The mixture is
stirred by a paddle attached to the
crank which is operated by hand,
and sometimes by a small electric
motor.
Use three parts of ice to one part
of salt. Turn the crank slowly at
first for about five minutes or until
the mixture stiffens, then as quickly
as possible until it is difficult to
turn. This takes about six minutes.
Add more icc and salt if necessary.
Pour off salt water, push down ice
and salt being careful to get none in
the can of icc cream.
Wipe top of can, uncover, take out
the paddle, and beat the frozen
mixture with a wooden spoon. Cover
can with wax paper, and pack
again. Let stand several hours to
ripen.
LYNN SAYS:
Did you know that:
Ice creams should stand sev
eral hours to blend or ripen the
many flavors combined in them?
Each flavor will stand out sepa
rately if the mixture is not prop
erly ripened.
Texture is affected by the
method of freezing? Ice cream
will be coarse and rough if frozen
too quickly, whereas slower
freezing improves texture. Be
fore putting the cream in the
freezer it should be properly
whipped or it will be icy.
Richer mixtures give smoother
textured ice creams? The
amount of fat in the cream also
affects the flavor. Richer ice
creams have full bodied flavor.
Ice cream expands? If the ice
cream is well made, it expands
to at least one-third more than
its original size, and that this
has an important bearing on fla
vor. If frozen too rapidly, ice
cream is prevented from increas
ing size.
Flavors should be lightly sug
gested, not pronounced? Amount
and quality of extracts used arc
very apparent in the finished
product.

?Recipe given.
?Vanilla Ice Cream.
(Makes iv? quarts)
IV* cups sweetened condensed
milk (15-oz. can)
2 cups thin cream
1 cup cold water
1 tablespoon vanilla
Blend thoroughly the sweetened
condensed milk, thin cream, cold
water and vanilla. Freeze in one
quart freezer. Remove dasher.
Pack in ice and salt for one hour
or more after freezing.
For Banana Ice Cream, use the
above recipe, except to substitute 1
teaspoon of lemon extract in place
of vanilla. Mash three bananas to a
smooth pulp with a silver fork and
add to ice cream after removing
dasher.
Coffee Ice Cream. Proceed as for
Vanilla Ice Cream, using 1 cup of
cold black cofTee in place of 1 cup
of water and V2 teaspoon vanilla in
place of 1 tablespoon of vanilla.
Maple Nut Ice Cream: One of the
most requested flavors, made just
like the vanilla except mapeline fla
voring is substituted for vanilla, and !
Va cup of chopped nuts is added j
just after removing the dasher.
Among the pleasant surprises in :
appearance and in flavor among ice
creams is this one called Tutti-Frut- 1
ti. If you're longing for a change
irom lam ilia r fa
vorites this one
leaves nothing to
be desired. To
make it really
gala for the
youngsters, take
a scoop of it, pop two raisins in for
the eyes, a currant for the nose and
a cherry for the mouth. It's a sim
ple gesture but one which they'll
appreciate for all it's worth.

WHEAT STORAGE
BINS IMPORTANT
Poor Flooring:, Foundation |
May Spoil Grain.
___________
By K. W. l.KIIMANN
(Ht*d of Department of A gricultur jf Engi
neers. University of Itltnoi s )
With an almost bumper crop of i
wheat in prospect, manv farmers
are planning for extra wheat storage
on their farms as a result of a short
age of warehouse storage space.
The first specification for a good
bin is foundation footings large
enough to prevent settling ? on most
soils one square foot of surface bear
ing on the ground for every fin i
bushels of wheat. Footings need to |
be wider on soils that are not firm.
Depth of foundation should be 12
inches to as much as 36 inches to
protect against leaning and under
mining by water, rodents and live- j
stock. Fifteen to 18 inches above
the ground is a good height for foun
dations. Small and medium-sized
bins are often put on semi-perma
nent foundations such as of stone or
concrete blocks.
Floors and joists should be de
signed according to tables of weight
carrying capacity (such as found in
the U. S. department of agriculture
bulletin. Wheat Storage in the Ever
normal Granary) and the materials
shouid be free of bad effects and
termite damage. Tight floors are ;
necessary to keep in gasses during
fumigation.
Concrete floors in bins for long- j
time storage need to be at least
eight inches above the ground with
hollow tile or coarse gravel under 1
neath. It is a good plan to cover
concrete floors with moisture-proof
kiaft paper or loose boards or to
paint them with two coats of asphalt
aluminum paint.
Bin walls can be made of various
materials such as boards, plywood,
metal or masonry, but must be
strong enough to resist bursting
pressure. Sometimes added strength
is provided by wire or rod cross
! ties. Walls must be tight to keep
out moisture and to make fumiga
tion feasible.
Simple Repairs Increase
Farm Tractor Efficiency
How to keep tractor power up and
fuel costs down gives many a farm
er a headache.
To try to help farmers relieve
some of these "headaches," H. P.
Bateman and G. M. Petersen, agri
cultural engineers of the University
of Illinois college of agriculture, re
cently completed some tests on
farmers' tractors.
They found that simply resetting '
the carburetor needle valve on some <
of the tractors gave a fuel saving I
of as much as 10 gallons for each j
10-hour day. Improper adjustment !
of the carburetor was the most com- j
mon cause found for high fuel con
sumption.
Adjusting the governor gave as
much as a 20 per cent increase in
the maximum power of some trac
tors operating under governor con
trol. and more than doubled the
power available at rated motor
speed under governor control.
Grinding the valves resulted in a
third power, yet the fuel consump
tion was decreased nearly 10 per
cent at the same power output in
the case of a tractor with the valves
in poor repair when brought to the
laboratory.
Milk, Natural Greens
Bolster Egg Yield
If hot summer weather has
caused your birds' appetites to
wane, revive them with green
feed and milk, L. M. Black, ex
tension poultryman at the New
Jersey college of agriculture,
Rutgers university, advises flock
owners.
"Toward the end of the pro
duction year, layers often begin
to lose interest in the standard
rations," Black says. "Hot weath
er also tends to reduce feed con
sumption and lowered egg yields
often result. To counteract these
effects, wise poultrymen feed sup
plementary materials to whet
their birds' appetites, bolster de
pleted stores of vitamins and pro
vide protein to stimulate egg pro
duction.
"Natural green material is gen
erally plentiful during summer
and proves a welcome addition to
the laying ration. Fresh .'awn
clippings, swiss chard, cabbage,
lettuce and many other garden
vegetables ? even many varieties
of weeds ? are excellent.
