STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMENIAKER
By VERNA STANTON
Assistant State Agent
The built-in sweetness of fall
pears and apples can be an aid to
homemakers in stretching the sug
ar budget. On the average these
fruits are about 10 percent sugar.
The simplest way to make the
most of natural pear and apple
sweetness is to eat them out of
hand. But for variety, try them
a pear and fill the center with
in salads dressed with cheese. Split
Roquefort cheese thinned with a
little cream. Dress up apples with
cottage or cream cheese mixed with
chopped chives. For a note of col
or, add nuts, carrot strips, or
green peppers to the salad?or
use grapes or raisins to lend it
even greater sweetness.
Sour cream dressing makes an-*
other tasty companion for pears
and apples. Plain cooked dressing
is also good with fruit salad. Make
it of eggs, vinegar, milk, seasoning,
and a little table fat, and cook it
over simmering water.
For cooked dishes, apples and
pears need a little extra sweeten
ing. And corn sirup, honey or mo
lasses may be used for this.
When baking pears or apples,
stuff the centers with dates or
raisins. This adds sweetness, and
only about 1 teaspoon sugar will
be needed for each piece of fruit.
For a side dish that satisfies the
sweet tooth at small cost in sugar,
scallpp apples or pears with sweet
potatoes. Dot each layer with fat,
and sprinkle with just a little sug
ar or brush with honey.
For glazed pears or apples, quar
ter the fruit and bake with a little
water until partially cooked. Then

What Is the Farm Bureau Doing?
The farm Bureau at this time, through its National Office in
Chicago, with its staff of paid experts; the Washington office, with
their contacts with the legislative and administrative branches of
Government; and its National and State Boards of Directors, is
trying to keep 1948 and any other year from being another 1932,
by upholding the laws that have been passed (Sponsored by the Farm
Bureau) to do for farm people what has been done for other groups.
These laws will give us a fair price for tobacco, cotton, peanuts,
poultry, livestock products, and all other crops, and we are deter
mined to see that they do not fail us at this time.
