The younger set will really “go” for this luncheon entree that features creamy chicken a la king over-hot-from-the-oven biscuits. Served with crisp lettuce salad, gelatin dessert, cupcakes and milk,' this easy main dish will "bring them back” for seconds. Enriched self-rising flour in the biscuits makes preparation especially quitk. With this time-saving product, salt and leavening are already added, eliminating measuring and sifting steps for you. Mix, place In the oven, and while the biscuits bake to a golden brown, heat canned or frozen chicken a la king. MlnuteB later you can treat your family to. a hearty main dish. And, there’s still another “plus” when you-bake with self-rising flour — the nutritional bonus of three essential B-v'itamins, thia mine, niacin and riboflavin, and the minerals Iron and calcium. BASIC BISCUITS 12 biscuits 2 cups sifted enriched self- J4 cup shortening rising flour* /2 to % cup milk Set out baking sheet. Preheat oven to 450°. Into medium-sized mixing bowl measure flour. Cut in shortening until mixture re-' sembles coarse crumbs. Blend in enough milk to make a soft dough. Onto lightly floured board or pastry cloth turn out dough and knead gently 30 seconds. Roll out J4-inch thick. With a floured 2%-inch biscuit cutter or sharp knife cut out biscuits. Place on baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. •If you don’t sift and in the absence of other directions, spoon flour directly from container into a one-cup dry measure, level off, then remove two level tablespoonfuls, according to USDA recommendations._ _ __ Chili Corn Calces itiMlliiisi When two favorite dishes combine you're sure to create a third as in these Chili Corn Cakes. Corn meal pancakes have always been special for breakfast. Now, filled with spicy chili, they form the basis for a hearty supper dish, too. Use convenient canned chili or, prepare your own home made. Complete the menu with a green vegetable, fruit salad, bakery-fresh cookies and a beverage. These corn meal pancakes are so. easy to make when self-rising coin meal and Hour are used. Self-flsing com meal and flour with leavening and salt added save sitting andp measuring steps. Anti everytime you bake with these convenience products you add three essential I!-vitamins, thiamine, niacin and riboflavin and the minerals, iron and calcium to your family’s .diet. CHILI CORN CAKES 6 to 8 servings 1 cup enriched self-rising corn meal 1 cup sifted enriched self rising flour* 2 eggs, beaten cup melted shortening or oil 2 cups milk 1 can (15^4 oz.) chili or 2 cups homemade chili Lightly grease and preheat griddle. In medium-sized mixing bowl stir together corn meal and flour. Combine eggs, shortening or oil and milk. Add liquid all at once to corn meal mixture, stirring until blended. For each pancake pour about Vt, cup batter onto griddle. Hake until golden brown, turning once. Heat chili; place 2 to 3 tablespoonfuls in center of each pancake. Roll up, securing with wooden pick, if desired. *If you don’t sift and in the absence of other directions, spoon flour directly from container into a one-cup dry measure, level off, then remove two level tablespoonfuls, according to US1)A recommendations.

By all means. Yoi want it to be edible of cours^ Remember that 75 per cent o GARDEN TIME During the week ending Jan uary 14, there were 15,523 car lot equivalents (rail and truck) of fresh fruits and vegetables distributed in the United States. Of this number, 1,755 carlot equivalents were imported. This is quite a sizeable bread basket for one week so I thought it would be of interest to my readers, as it was to my stu dents, to find out where the centers of production are locate ed while we are surrounded by ice and snow (2-15-65). Most people usually think of California and Florida as be ing our largest producers of fresh fruits and vegetables dur ing the winter months. This is largely true but other states al so play an important part in keeping us well fed. Perhaps the better plan would be to list some of the more im portant fruits and vegetables, in alphabetical order, the carlot equivalents, and states of origin. Apples — Michigan 117, New York 110, Washington, 377, oth er states 377, Canada 28. Beans — California 283, Florida 211. Corn — Florida 119, Lettuce — Arizona 384, California 1,153, Texas 130. Oranges — Califor nia 461, Florida 501. Irish pota toes — California 375, Colorado 232, Idaho 435, Maine 809. To matoes — Florida 456, Mexico 221. This is enough to give you some idea of the tremendous producing power of this great country in which we live. It does not include all of the states involved in producing fresh fruits and vegetables. Mechanization is playing an ever greater role in the produc tion and harvesting of many of our vegetable crops. Machines have been perfected, or are in the experimental stage, for har vesting tomatoes for processing, lettuce, asparagus, cantaloupes, cucumbers for pickling, cabbage and broccoli. In the case of to matoes, the plant breeders are at work to produce dwarf plant types and uniform ripening of the fruits so that the harvest ing can be a “once-over” job. These are three reasons for mechanization: (1) technological advances; (2) the high cost of labor; and (3) the possibility of cutting off the supply of Mexi ican Nationals (Braceros) who have played such an important part in the harvesting of perish ables in the Far West and the Southwest. the Vitamin A in lettuce is m the outer green leaves. ? — When hanging pictures should the top or the bottom of the frames be the same height? Many pictures-are hung too high. Hang large pictures so that the bases of their frames are all the same height from the floor. You can let the pic ture that hangs over the sofa determine the common height for all if you wish. Or perhaps the windowsill might guide the height — creating a comforta ble feeling of symmetry. ? — What does a cup measure mean in terms of measuring food? The cup measure refers to the standard measuring cup of 8 fluid ounces or % liquid pint. The ounce refers to 1/16 of a pound avoirdupois, unless fluid ounce is indicated. The weight of a fluid ounce varief according to the food measured Q — I am a World War I veteran with only 18 months ac tive duty, and I was separatee ■ from service due to a service l connected disability. Am I eligi I ble for a VA guaranteed loan? A — Yes, if all other loan re ! quirements are met. The dead l line for World War n veteran! i who were separated due to ser . vice connected disability is Julj f 25, 1967. it£frr nVii^r'^v ■y-vriV-'-yrtr Deal Cautiously With Possible Home Hazards; Innocent Items are Dangerous Shoe polish, oven cleaner, hair-waving lotion, wax. They don't sound harmful. But these items plus kerosene, bleach, toilet cleaner, medicine, turpentine, lighter fluid, de odorant, dry-cleaning fluid and plant spray may be potential dangers in your home, accord ing to Mrs. Edith B. McGlamery, extension housing and house furnishing specialist, North Carolina State. , Why? “Because each product contains hazardous substance that could cause illness or death if taken internally. “According to the Annual Re port of the Duke Poison Control Center for the 12-month period Nov. 1, 1963 - October 31, 1964, 37 cases of poisoning by cosmet ics were brought to the center. “A total of 188 cases of pois oning resulted from household, farm, and industrial products. “Of course, it would be in convenient, if not inipossible, to stop using these items in the home. But you can do the next best thing — protect the family, particularly the young children, from accidental contact with these products. “Know what you are buying. Examine the labels —read uie small print. Look for these words: “ ‘Caution or warning’ — in dicates that the material is a hazardous substance. “Danger’—refers to substances that are highly toxic, extremely flammable or corrosive. “ ‘Poison’ — refers to products defined as highly toxic. “Some of the labels will car ry the skull and crossbones of a legally recognized poison. Or there may be the statement ‘keep out of reach of children.’ “Labels give an indication of the principal hazard in such words as ‘flammable,’ ‘vapor harmful,’ ‘causes burns,’ ‘absorb ed through the skin.’ “Read labels for precaution ary measures for using the sub stance; for instructions on first aid treatment when necessary; for information on storage. “Handle all these hazardous substances intelligently. Don’t rely on high places to keep things away from children. Haz ardous substances should be kept under lock. Children are curi ous — they will eat or drink almost anything,” Mrs. Glamery said. Entomologists Say More Research Is Needed On Use Of Light Traps Tobacco farmers will have es sentially the same recommend ed methods to fight insects with in 1965 as they had in 1964. Entomologists at North Carolina State say considerable interest has been shown in re cent years in newer forms of in sect control, especially forms Which do not require the use of pesticides. One such method is the use of light traps. College entomolo gists have been cooperating with USDA scientists on light trap research at the Oxford To bacco Research Station for the past three years. While some of the results have appeared encouraging, N. C. State entomologists do not rec ommend the use of light traps at present. Experiments at Oxford includ ed the use of both light traps and the destruction of old to bacco stalks immediately after harvest. Insect numbers were reduced, but entomologists are unable to say if the reduction was caused by the light traps, stalk destruction or both prac tices. Light trap experiments were also conducted in 1964 in South Carolina and Kentucky. Results from both locations have been called “inconclusive.” Entomologists at N. C. State say additional research is need ed on the effects of light traps alone before this new rpethod is recommended to farmers. They also say that the research needs to be carried out under a wider variety of conditions than have been found in the Oxford area. In the meantime, entomology extension workers at State stress the need for destroying old to bacco stalks immediately after harvest and using pesticides on ly where a worm count shows they are necessary as aids in controlling insects. Waiting for Spring? Force-Bloom Shrubs If you’re one of those impa tient souls who can’t wait for springtime — though winter is still with us — you can rush the season a bit by force-bloom ing shrubs inside your home. Flowering quince, forsythia, pussywillow and Thunberg spi rea are easily forced into bloom in mid-winter. So are peach, ap ple, pear, plum and cherry branches, reports the U. S. De partment of Agriculture. Cuttings from most of these may be made any time now. Select branches which have many large flowerbuds. Cut the stems, remove bottom inch of bark and pound the base of the stem with a hammer to give good contact for water uptake. Place stems in a warm (110 de grees F) water bath and allow to cool ^fturally to room tem perature" and then remain in the water rfor 24 Hours. Cover top with moistened burlap or with a plastic bag. Place the branches in a vase of water and keep them in the sunlight at 65 to 75 degrees.
