STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMEMAKER
By VERNA 8TANTON
Assistant State Agent
With onions so plentiful in mar
ket these days, a homemaker is
likely to find herself keeping com
pany often with these lively fla
vored vegetables. Whether you get
the best of onions or they get the
best of you in the kitchen, is often
a matter of knowing simple ways
of handling them. Home economists
of the U. S. Department of Agri
culture suggest for onions with
out tears, hold the onions under
water while peeling. This also
trating the kitchen air.
To obtain juice and fine pulp
for soup or clear sauce, cut an on
ion in half cross-Wise and grate
over a bowl. Or, if a very little
juice is wanted, grate over waxed
paper and save dishwashing. Cut
ting onion fine with a sharp knife
is easier than grating and often
serves a similar purpose.
To use part of an onion and keep
the cut surface from drying, slit the
skin and cut out the portion of
onion needed; then wrap the skin
back over the left-over part. Keep
a cut onion in a cool place, wrap
ped in^waxed paper to keep the
odor from other foods as much as
possible.
The flavoring substance of on
ion is an oil that blends with other
fats and oils in food. Therefore, a
good way to capture and extend

the full flavor in stews or stuffings
is to heat chopped onion in a little
fat a few minutes and then add to
the other ingredients. The same
principle applies' to salads. Add
chopped onion to the oil dressings,
and allow it to stand an hour or
so before dre^i.ig the salad.
Cooking sweet potatoes in the
oven or kettle without peeling
saves vitamin as weli as time. Tests
show that, when baked or boiled
without peeling, sweet potatoes re
tain from G9 to 83 per cent of their
Vitamin C. Many people add a lit
tle sugar to the boiling water to
give the potatoes a sweeter flavor.

Jackson Farmers Receive
$4,091 For Seeds In 1946
Jackson county farmers have re
ceived checks amounting to $4,
01)1.73 for seeding winter cover
crops and pastures under the 1946
AAA program, according to Mrs.
Ellen N. Corbin, ACA secretary.
These checks were mailed from
Richmond, Va. and around $2,000
more is expected to be mailed out
within the next six weeks. Two
carloads of phosphate for use this
year have been received and de
livered to the farmers, and pros
pects for more to be delivered soon
are good.
Lime, which is in better supply
than phosphate, has been arriving
| and 648 tons have been delivered
to date. The ACA expects to de
liver around 4800 tons in 1947. No
tice has been given to farmers ex
plaining the pasture grass phase of
the program in which the farmer
pays around one-third of the cost
| of seeds, and the AAA around two
thirds of the cost.
The Dairy Products Marketing
Association has been authorized by
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture to begin immediate purchase,
of nonfat dry milk, to lend support
to a weakening market for that
product.

FARMERS SHOULD NOT
SELL EWE LAMBS
RALEIGH, March 3?Sheep pro
ducers should not let the high
prices entice them into selling all
their lambs this springs, says R. S.
Curtis, sheep marketing specialist
with the N. C.,Department of Ag
riculture.
Pointing out that lambs will be
gin to move to market early in
May and continue through Sep
tember, Curtis believes that "from
1,000 to 2,000 ewe lambs could and
should be saved for breeding pur
poses."
""North Carolina needs these ewe
lambs. Each sheep grower should
add to or replenish his flock with
at least five ewe lambs for breed
ing," says Curtis, adding that the
State needs 2,500 or more sheep
breeders.
He said the State Agriculture
Department would assist farmers
keeping ewe lambs in marketing
Ihem for. breedins purposes in
North Carolina.
