Homemakers Urged
To Buy Victory Food
Starting today and continuing
until July 25th, local merchants
will feature broilers and fryers
as a Victory Food Special. This
is the fourth Victory Food special
to be featured in this area.
Speaking of the success of the
previous “Specials”, -Joe Wilson,
Polk County Agent, said: “Local
homemakers and storekeepers are
to be congratulated, for the splen
did cooperation they have given
the government in the promotion
of Victory Food Specials. When
we increase the consumption of
farm products that are in abun
dance, we are 'all helping the war
effort. By eating health-building
foods we are not only making
America strong but we also are
assisting farmers by buying their
products that are in temporary
abundance.
“Victory Food S'pecial on broil
ers and fryers will give clever
housewives the opportunity to
serve one of America’s favorite
foods without stretching the fam
ily budget.” Here are some table
tips on broilers and fryers which
come from the Bureau of Home
Economics, USDA:

to fry or broil by their dressed
weight, That is the weight of the
chicken picked but not drawn and
including head and feet. The
weight of a drawn chicken is
about three-fourths that of a
dressed chicken. Best chickens for
table use are well-rounded—short
and stocky rather than rangy. All
bones are well-covered with flesh
