Farmers are sometimes led to believe their stock need more minerals than is supplied in the feed. This may be true in some cases, but since most of our land has been treated with lime and phosphate our hays and pastures should furnish all the minerals necessary with the exception of salt. Salt is very necessary in the digestion of food and cattle, sheep, and hogs should have free access to salt at all times. Many farmers use block salt but there is some doubt about stock get ting all they need from that source and it is not recommended for sheep as they will wear off their teeth gnawing the l)U$k. A number, of experiments have proven that swine gain faster ^nd make their gains cheaper when they can get salt free choice. It is not recommended to mix salt with feed, especially for swine, but keep it in a box before the animal at all times so they may get just what they want and no more. If farmers wish to feed yntmala it is NOT recommended that they buy an expensive fancy mixture. A good mixture wquld be one part salt, one part steamed bone meal, and one part finely ground limestone. That should be fed free choice. As they will not eat very much of that they should also have another chance at salt alone.

Isom Wagoner Right now, fresh fall and win ter vegetables are becoming more scarce. Time for spring vegetables is still around the corner. Peo ple get hungry, though, so, Mi'S. Homemaker, look to your home canned and stored foods for good, wholesome meals. If that, too, is a little scarce, plan now to can and store an extra supply of fruits, vegetables and meats for next year. You must plan carefully to keep meals interesting and ap petizing. The fewer the.kinds of food on hand, the greater the need to vary the ways of pre paration. Keep a list and collect recipes to show different ways to change the appearance and flavor of the same food. Often this change will result in over coming the “canned taste” some foods get. Dinner is the meal that causes most worry. This jmeal whether planned from canned or fresh foods is usually centered around a meat or other protein food. Home canned meats can be used to make meat pies, meat stews, hash, a meat loaf, creamed meat, hot or cold sandwiches, and in other ways. A well seasoned mixture of chopped canned meat and mash ed potatoes or cooked rice, mois tened with gravy, tomaWies, or milk may be used to stuff pep pers. Or you might like to fry roll ing this mixture in a green cab bage leaf and baking it. The same mixture can be shaped into croquettes, dipped in beaten eggs and bread crumbs, then fried. Two or three vegetables are usually served with the. meat (or main course) of a dinner, one starchy, one yellow or green, and one other meal. Planning will be much easier if you will keep your lists and recipes of different ways to prepare vegetable s under those headings. White or sweet potatoes from your stored food supply can be used to take care of the starchy vegetables in your dinner menu. Either kind of potato can be bak ed, boiled, steamed, or fried, White potato can be served with a cream sauce, stewed with chop ped onions and salt pork or bacon drippings, made into a salad and in numerous ways. In fact, it can be prepared in more ways than a sweet potato. However, the sweet potato has the advantage of being able to be used as both a yellow, vegetable and a dessert. The sweet potato is, also, a rich source of vitamin C. Canned vegetables found in most pantries are snap beans, corn, tomatoes, butter beans, peas and squash. These may be seasoned with butter or meat drippings and served, or one or more may be combined into, a vegetable loaf, scolloped dish, or salad. An old trick used by most homemakers, is to stretch the use of one vegetable by mixing it with another, as snap beans and corn, or peas and corn. Snap beans cooked with tomatoes and4 thickened with flour, is a com bination which is sure to over come the canned taste of the beans. Some onions or grated cheese added to canned squash improves its flavor. The desert, although the last thing on the menu, may not be the last thing planned. Satisfying the family’s sweet tooth is of real morale value. Just a twist of the wrist will open a can of fruit and yield a good dessert. Since we should eat two fruits a day it is a pretty good icjea to use fruit desserts often. Canned fruits can be served plain or dressed up with whipped cream, nuts or boiled custard, fruit short cakes made from can ned or fresh fruits are an old time favorite with most people. Small bits of several fruits may be combined into a fruit cup or salad. Canned halves of pears, or apr and served with the meat, up in a s little melted sprinkle with nutmeg, and bake until slightly browned. If you have been saving your canned foods for a “rainy day’’ now is the time to feast your ap petite as well as your eye upon them. Of course, you took special pains to can and store your foods in a way to save most of the food value. But, you can still waste their minerals and vitamins un less you are careful. To get the most good from your canned foods, follow these rules: 1. Save and use all of the liquid in the can. These liquids contain valuable minerals and vitamins. Save it and serve it with canned food itself or in the cream sauces, soups, gravies, as the liquid in vegetables or meat salads, or mixed with tomato juice and served hot or cold as a vegetable cocktail. 2. Cook all canned meats and non-acid vegetables 10 to 20 min utes even before tasting. This will destroy any poison that may be present If the meat or vege table is to be served cold, boil and then chill it.

Farm Burley Leaf This Year -SftU. s By Staff Writer A tobacco expert this week ad vised farmers to grow their own hurley tobacco plants to insure better quality and offered some advice in the production of plants. “The 1946 low quality and al most failure in some cases of burley tobacco was niainly due to poor plants and late trans planting. A little detailed care will insure plenty of burley plants and there is less chance of disease in the field if plants are grown at home rather than im ported," he said. “In sowing plant beds for the 1947 crop, growers will find that liberal fertilization, blue mold and wildfire, control, and proper plant bed management will ..do much to insure an early supply of good strong plants,” he ex plained, and pointed out the fol lowing factor#, in successful plant production “1. Blue mold and wildfire can be controlled in a practical way and economically. (For details see your county agent). “2. Last year- many burley plants showed nitrogen deficiency and were late because of this fact Growers are urged to use about two pounds of a 4-9-3 plant bed fertilizer per square yard of bed surface. This fertilizer is broadcast on a well pulverized seed bed and raked into the soil with a garden rake immediately before seeding or one to two weeks before seeding. Growers who have used Cyanamid or Cy anamid and Uramon for plant bed soil sterilization should use about one to one and one-half pounds of fertilizer per square, yard and avoid disturbing the soil deeply as tha fertilizer is applied. A garden rake is most nearly suited for raking the fertilizer into the upper surface. “3. Growers who have experi enced difficulty due to freezing out of plants will find it helpful if two seedings are made. That is, prepare and sow the plant bed fairly early, then prepare and sow another bed later as insur ance against freezing out of the earlier plants' Many growers follow the practice of an early and late seeding on the same bed. That is, sow the same bed a sec ond time about three weeks af ter the first seeding. The seeds are sown on top of the ground later seeding has room to de velop. . “4. Watering the bed at seed germinating time will in many cases mean the difference in a stand of plants or failure. Since the seeds are sown oti the surface of the ground, dry crusty soil at seed germinating time will cause many of the young plants to die. “5. During the plant growing season, additional nitrogen used as a top-dressing may be neces sary to push the plants along to avoid late transplanting. Usually from one to three applications of about two to five pounds of nitrate, such as nitrate of soda, per 100 square yards of bed space will be quite sufficient to hasten the growth of slow plants. This nitrogen, two to five pounds, may be dissolved in fifty gallons of water and applied to 100 square yards. Fifty gallons of clear .wa ter should then be used to wash the plants off. Some growers use the pellet form of nitrate of soda and broadcast two to five pounds over~100 square yards of bed while the plants are dry. A corn broom is then used to brush the pellets off the plants on to the soil. “6. Plant beds should not be located in the depths of the nar row, shady gorges but advantage should be taken of protected coves where level and fertile soil can usually be found. These lo cations should be exposed to the south or southeast for most di rect sunlight" t QH, QfiACt, SOMg or i (U TU§ [ LMlif QO | EAO TWO TREADS 1 -Si?
