STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMEMAKEP
By RUTH CURRENT
8Ute Home Demonstration. Agent
Don't spend too much on maca
roni, spaghetti, white rice, grits,
and corn meal. They are poor in
minerals and vitamins. We might
cut down on these foods and use
more whole wheat products, en
riched grain products, oatmeal,
soybean products, and fr^sh fruits
and vegetables. Variety is the
spice of good eating. *
Buy carefully. ? Look before you
buy; compare prices of different
foods of the same type. Some
foods are cheaper if bought in
large quantities. Tomato and cit
rus fruit juices and evaporated ?
milk cost less per serving if you
buy them in large size cans.
Read labels?they have an edu
cational value. They list all ma
terials used to make the packaged
food and tell how much the pack
age holds. Sometimes surprising
and interesting information is
tucked away in fine print. Remem
ber that a package which lpoks
large may hold less than one that
looks smaller. The weight is what
counts.
Hot Spiced Cider: 4 inches
stick cinnamon, 6 whole cloves, a
dash of nutmeg, sugar if Mdesired,
I 1 gallon of cider, 4 tablespoons
butter, 1 orange sliced. Tie spices
in bag and place in kettle of cold
cider and bring to boil. Sweeten
slightly if desired. Serve hot.
Yield: 16 cups.
Ironing hint: Starching will cut
the ironing time in half. It means
that dresses, skirts, shirts, and
blouses stay cleaner longer, shed
? dirt and dust more easily and keep
? that crisp look TWO days instead

ANSWERS TIMELY
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION?Why is it that most
turkeys are not good egg produc
ers?
ANSWER ? Professor R. S.
Dearstyne, head of the State Col
lege poultry department, says that
for years the emphasis in turkey
breeding has been toward type.
However, at the Central Experi
ment Station farm near Raleigh,
where for the past eight, years
tests have been conducted to im
prove the utility of the Bronze
turkey, one turkey hen laid 219
eggs in 1945 and two hens have
passed the 200-egg mark this year
by producing 203 and 211 eggs
during a 12-month period. Ac
cording to Professor Dearstyne,
the tests show that high egg pro
duction can be developed in tur
keys through careful breeding
factors.
QUESTION ? What kind of saw
is best for pruning fruit trees?
ANSWER?Any kind will do
which is sharp enough to do the
;ob. However, a swivel-blamed
saw seems best suited to thfe w^rk.
~t costs only a few dollars but will
last a lifetime if given proper
care.
VETS' PROBLEMS
Fewer and fewer veterans are
obtaining home loans under the
G. I. Bill, according to the Veterans
Administration.
Records show that G. I. loans
now number only one out of
every ten new small home mort
gages, compared v^th a one-in
four ratio during the peak period
of the G. I. loan guarahty program.
The VA attributes the decrease
of one.
Do you always eat breakfast?
You need breakfast if you expect
to do your best work and be bub
bling over with energy for the
day's work. Prepare slow cooking
cereals the nigbt before, cover
with a thin film of water, and
in the number of veterans' home
loans to two factors: the high and
rising price level for new homes
and the four per cent interest rate
?the maximum which lenders
charge veterans for loans guaran
teed by VA under the G. I.' Bill.
Regarding the first factor, VA
estimates that the average veteran
family can afford a home priced
at $5,000 to 6,000, or well below
the price asked for most of t^e
new homes under construction.
Relative to the second factor, VA
explained that lenders are reluc
tant to invest in long-term loans
reheat in the morning before
stirring. Dried fruit soaked o\jer
night cooks very quickly. You
can cook it with the cereal. Fresh
fruit juices may be bottled, stop
pered, and stored in the refrigera
tor.
permitting only a gross return of
four per cent.
Q?My husband enlisted in the
Army December 31, 1946. Is he
eligible to receive war service
compensation in event of disability
incurred in or made worse by
service?
A?Yes. President Truman pro
claimed the cessation of hostilities
effective 12 noon, December 31,
1946. However, it has been as
certained that records of the De
partment of the Army do not
show the hour of enlistment. Ac
cordingly, it is presumed that an
enlistment on December 31, 1946,
was entered into prior to noon on
that date. However, the disability
must have been incurred in active
service before July 25, 1947.
Q?I did not select an optional
settlement of my NSLI. In event
of my death, is my widow entitled
to settlement in a lump sum if
she wants it?
A?No. Payment in one sum ma>
be made only if designated by the
insured.
Q?Does Veterans Administra
tion give flags to the next of kin
of a deceased veteran?
A?Yes. Flags are issued to
drape the casket of a deceased
veteran and are given afterwards
to the next of kin.
Q?What income provision is at
tached to compensation payable
to the widow of an American sol
dier killed in line of duty?
A?There is no income restric
tion to compensation paid for
service-connected disability or
death.
