Guess This Conundrum What is the longest sentence in the world? Perhaps you’ve heard this one before and have forgot ten it, but put your thinking-cap on and try it. It’s simple enough and won’t require much of your time or mental ability to guess the answer. Don’t Feed The Drain “Don’t feed the kitchen drain better than you feed your family”, is an injunction frequently heard, which, obviously refers to throw ing away valuable food materials that should be placed on the table for the family to eat. These valu able food elements that are often thrown down the drain pipe with the water vegetables are cooked in contain mainly minerals and vitamins that are necessary to body functioning. You can avoid this unnecessary waste and also save fuel when cooking by using as little water as possible. Natur ally it takes less time to boil a | 2ND. LT. FRED FOWLER We All Have A Part In This War Let’s back the boys who are fighting for us! 2nd Lieut. Fred G. Fowler, standing, of Brevard, is shown with a fellow North Carolina fighter pilot fol lowing the completion of a tactical course at the Sixth air force fighter command training school in the Pan |ama area. Farmer Can Grind Corn For Hog Feed In feeding pigs, it will not pay a farmer to have his com ground at a commercial mill, but if he has his own hammer mill, he can grind it to advantage, says F. H. Smith, animal nutritionist with the State College Experiment Sta tion. Recent tests have shown that grinding gave a better utilization of corn with about 15 per cent less feed being required to give 100 pounds of gain. “Medium-fine grinding of corn gives better results than finely ground. A gritty-feeling product is superior,” Smith says. He points out that wheat, barley, rye and other feeds should be ground because the hog does not crush the small grains with his teeth as readily as the larger grains. Also, the animal is unable to use the food values of the whole grain because the hard, outer layer protects it from the digestive juices as it passes through the digestive tract. little than a good deal, and the smaller amount is better for the vegetables and for you, also. Bum Foreign Papers A suggestion heard over the radio is worth passing along and heeding, since not to do so might be the cause of infesting yourself or members of your family with serious disease. The suggestion is made that all Christmas wrappings or envelopes that have come from foreign ports should be burned, because many of them have been found to have become infested with the Mediterranean fruit fly and other equally dangerous dis ease-carrying pests. Conundrum Answer Going to prison for life. Now that you know the answer it’s al most too simple and silly to have put even a moment’s thought on it, isn’t it? Sue Talks To Herself Sue Norwood, 4-year-old daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Nor wood, was sick in bed with flu last week and thought she could take advantage of the situation and have about anything she want ed, for a change. Her mother overheard her talking to herself in bed. Sue (thinking her mother was out of the room and couldn’t hear): “I’m going to be just as bad as I can be, and I’m sick and nobody’ll do anything about it.” Contrary to popular belief, there is practically no difference in the ultimate value of a legume crop whether it be turned under green or after it is dead, report I State College specialists.

Tho oil in nuts darkens and conceals the scratch. An oily nut like a pecan or but terut is best. Cut the kernel with a knife and rub the cut side into the scratch. Then polish the sur face of the wood with a soft, dry cloth. A mixture of two-thirds lin seed oil and one-third turpentine is also good for rubbing scratches out of sight, as is a reliable com mercial furniture polish. Serve chopped, leftover poultry meat, creamed on hot toast as a pie, topped with biscuit rounds, or with mashed potatoes, rice, noodles or spaghetti. To make it turkey or chicken a la king, give it richer sauce with egg yolks added, and perhaps mushrooms and some leftover peas or string beans. Or, mix with bits of poultry meat with mashed potatoes. Shape int(f cakes and brown in a little fat for a tasty lunchtime dish. Mix leftover stuffing with bits of poultry meat or gravy, and brown to make well-flavored hash. Or, mix stuffing, leftover meat, and gravy, all three, and brown in the oven for a scallop. Try frozen custards as a nutri tious and delicious wartime ice cream. Whole egg and egg yolks combined with cream, top milk, half and half, whole milk or evap orated milk make a delightful and economical frozen custard desserts for use in the home. This method of making custards is simple. The procedure is to beat the eggs slightly and then add the sugar or sweetening and stir until blended. Add liquid and blend thoroughly. If the liquid is heated and then poured gradually over the beaten eggs, with con stant stirring, the time of cooking is shortened. For frozen custards, cook to desired consistency; cool; porn: into pan and place in the freezing unit. In three hours time you will have a grand wartime ice cream. AMERICA'S TALLEST HOTEL Vkt MORRISON HOTEL CHICAGO LEONARD HICKS QUESTION: Is canned food safe to eat after it is frozen? ANSWER: State College can ning specialists report that freez ing in itself does not spoil canned food. They point out, however, that the food swells in freezing and that this may cause a break in the glass jar or a leak in the can. When the seal is broken on a can or jar, spoilage organisms may then reach the food and re sult in its loss. Cans showing any such leakage should be used im mediately. QUESTION: Can I develop a good pasture on land which is too poor to grow profitable cash crops? ANSWER: No, says John A. Arey, Extension dairy specialist at N. C. State College. He recom mends that only good land be used in developing permanent pastures. Poor land gives little grazing and the food a cow eats from such a pasture is used up in supplying the energy required to gather it. She has no food left for milk. The seeding of pastures on poor land with the resulting failures has convinced many far mers that fine, permanent pas tures can’t be produced in some sections of North Carolina. Crop production in the U. S. was 6 per cent less in 1943 than in 1942 but 5 per cent more than in any previous season. EXECUTRIX’ NOTICE TO CREDITORS Having qualified as Executrix of the Will of J.
