We will be pleased to roe that your question* are answered belpiully and promptly. The Language Of The ‘‘Flour*” by Jean Allen There was a time not so long agb when Grandmother would buy a barrel of flour, and that was that. She made bread and biscuits, pies and puddings from it, and won considerable fame in the town. But the family chooses to forget those tragic days when she had “bad luck, and we all lose sight of the fact that the amounts of butter, eggs, sugar, and lard she used were limited only by her practiced eye and her general rule (especially for shortenings) of, “when you think you have enough, add a little bit more.” Today our baking must take into account the cost of ingredi ents, and besides we have learn ed that so far as luck is con cerned—“there ain’t no sich ani mule.” It’s all a matter of under standing the language of your flours. If you have been mystified by the different kinds of flour your grocer sells, here is the key to the mystery. “General,” “all purpose,” or “family” flours are made of hard winter wheat, and intended to be used for the making of bread, rolls, and such articles, in- which yeast is the leavening agent. Their “strength” is necessary to withstand the vigorous action of yeast and kneading. This type of flour is usually creamy in color and slightly granular when rubbed between the fingers. “Pastry” flour is made from soft wheat, and gives a lighter, more porous dough. Though high ly refined, it is no less nutritious than a high grade white bread flour. Its slightly greater cost is partly due to this refining pro cess, but morg especially to the fact that it is sold in smaller packages. It is worth the extra pennies, however in making any baked goods in which baking powder or soda is used, as it rises more easily and does not require so much shortening and sugar as cakes made frojn bread flour. Unless you bake your bread at home, your “best bet” is to use pastry flour for every thing. You can generally dis tinguish it from bread flour by its snow white appearance and fine, almost powdery texture. Now that we have learned these fundamental rules of “grammar,” let us try a few easy sentences and see how this “language” real ly does work. PASTRY 2 cups sifted pastry flour. 1 teaspoon salt. 1-2 teaspoon baking powder, if desired. 1-2 to 2-3 cup lard. 5 to 6 tablespoons cold water. Mix and sift the flour, salt, and baking powder (if used). Cut in the lard with two knives or a pastry blender until the lard is broken into small pieces.

Clerk of the Superior Court Sir. 4tc-14AT ents, and toss together with a fork until the whole mixture will roll around the bowl, and is neither stick nor crumbly. Chill. Divide the dough into two por tions. Roll out on a lightly flour ed board. These proportions will make one 2-crust pie, or two pie shells. For a 2-crust pie, roll pastry 1-4 inch thick. Fit the lower crust into the ungreased pie tin, trim the edges, and sprinkle lightly with flour if a juicy fill ing is to be used. Put in the filling. Moisten the lower edge with cold water, and put on the top crust. Trim and flute the edges. Bake 20 minutes in a hot oven (425 degrees F.) ; re duce the temperature to 350 de grees F., and bake as long as necessary to cook the particular filling used in the pie. For Pie Shells, roll pastry 1-8 inch thick, and cover inverted pie plate, pricking bottom and sides with a fork (to prevent pastry from shrinking and hump ing). Trim and flute the edges. Bake in a hot oven (450 degrees F.) for 5 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees F., and bake un til the crust is a golden brown, or for about 10 minutes longer. Remove from pan, turn pan right side up, and place baked pastry inside pan. CHERRY CREAM PIE FILLING 1 No. 2 can (or 2 cups) red sour pitted cherries, drained. 3-4 cup cherry juice. 3-4 cup sugar. 2 tablespoons cornstarch. 2 egg yolks, well beaten. 3 tablespoons butter. 1 1-4 cups milk. 1-8 teaspoon salt. Ditncu aircu. Mix the salt, sugar, and corn starch, add milk, and cherry juice. Cook in a double boiler, stirring constantly until mixture is thick. Cover and steam 15 to 20 minutes; add the cherries, egg yolks, and butter. Cool and pour into baked pie shell. Cover with meringue made of 2 egg whites and 4 tablespoons sugar. Bake in a slow oven until meringue is nicely browned, or about 15 min utes. Note: If a white filling with red ’ cherries is desired, omit cherry juice and use 2 cups milk. CHEESE STRAWS Roll out plain pastry to 1-4 inch thickness. Sprinkle half of the surface with grated sharp cheese. Fold over, press edges together, and roll out again to 1-4 inch thickness. Repeat two or three times. After the last roll ing, cut into strips about 5 inches long by 1-2 inch wide, and bake in a hot oven (400-425’ degrees F.) until nicely browned. OATMEAL MUFFINS 1 cup uncooked oatmeal. 1 cup sifted pastry flour. 3 teaspoons baking powder. 1 cup milk. 1 teaspoon salt. 3 tablespoons sugar. 2 tablespoons melted butter. Mix dry ingredients thoroughly. Add milk slowly, stirring slightly. Add melted butter. Do not over mix. Bake in greased muffin pans in hot oven (400 degrees F.) for about 25 minutes. Yield: 10 large muffins. PRUNE BREAD 1 cup prunes. 1 cup milk. 3 tablespoons shortening. 1-2 cup prune juice. 4 teaspoons sugar. 2 tablespoons molasses. 2 teaspoons salt. 1.2 cup lukewarm water. 2 cups graham flour. 5 JL-2 to 6 cups white flour. >1 yeast cake. Soak the prunes in cold water over night and cook until soft. Remove stones and cut in small pieces. Scald the milk and add Washington News For U. S. Farmers From Time* Washington Bureau PUBLIC LAND WITHDRAWN Complete withdrawal of all public land from settlement, lo cation, sale or entry has been effected by a recent 'Presidential order, pending determination of a nation-wide conservation pro gram. The public domain includes 165.695,000 acres, of which about half will be permanent livestock grazing areas. Land not suited to profitable crops will become for ests, grazing districts, game pre serves and bird refuges. It is doubtful if any of the submarginal land will be farmed as this would render useless the present program of buying up such lands. By July it is ex pected that about 7,000,000 acres of this type of land will have been acquired. AT PRE-WAR PRICE LEVELS Price levels of fourteen basic agricultural commodities have about reached the pre-war parity, says Louis H. Bean, economic ad viser to the AAA, who attributed this to the drought and adjust ment payments. He points out, however, that increased domestic demand is nec essary if these prices are to be maintained this year when larger crops are anticipated. The price of the 14 commodities was only 52 per cent of the pre-war level in February 1933. but advanced to 106 per cent by January 16, 1935 and with adjustment pay ments added, 125 per cent. The commodities include wheat, cotton, field com, hogs, tobacco, sugar, peanuts, rye, flax, barley, grain, sorghum, cattle, rice and milk and its products. Processing taxes are levied on the first seven named. This does not mean, it should be understood, that farm income is up to pre-war levels. The short crops of 1934 are not to be compared with those of pre-war days. PROCESSING PAYMENTS Fanners might get as much as half a billion dollars from the government this year in process ing taxes, according to figures prepared by government econo mists. Since May 2, 1933, when the program began, more than 10, 000,000 checks amounting to $629,614,037 have been distribut ed by the AAA. For 1935 Sec retary Wallace makes the follow owing estimate of benefit pay ments for five commodities: Wheat—$102,000,000. Cotton—$94,230,000. Corn-Hog—$165,000,000. Sugar—$47,000,000. Peanuts—$4,000,000. Incidentally, while the govern ment was paying the farmers the $629,000,000 under the various crop control plans the taxes levi ed and collected aggregated $640, 871,403. TO ENFORCE CROP CONTROL Proposed amendments to the Agricultural Adjustment Act would give the Secretary of Ag riculture power to limit the mar keting of basic commodities in excess of quotas and allotments prescribed whenever two-thirds of the producers by number or quantity of production agreed shortening, prune juice, sugar, molasses, and salt. When luke warm, add yeast which has been softened in warm water. Add graham flour, prunes, and enough white flour to make a stiff dough. Knead until smooth, and let rise until double its bulk. Cut down, shape into loaves, and let rise again until doubled in bulk. Bake in a moderately hot oven, (375 degrees F.) about 1 hour. Yield: 2 medium sized loaves.

ROOMINESS it a feature of the new Ford. Three pat* sengert can ride in front or back teats with equal comfort. BEAUTY, a characteristic of all the 1935 Ford models ia exemplified here in the 3-window De Luxe Coupew Many Changes In New Ford Beautiful- Lines Strike Modern Note a _ With new, modernistic body lines, the 1935 Ford V-8 is now on display in all dealer’s show rooms- Embodied in the new car tre over a hundred changes in body and chassis design, bringing to»the motoring public a new conception of the meaning of style, comfort, performance and safety in personal transportation, according to W. C. Patterson, manager of the Charlotte Branch »f the Ford Motor Company. Passenger riding comfort is one of the major features of the 1985 models- All passengers now ride between the axles, the rear seat having been moved eight and a half inches forward of its position in the former model. Seats are considerably wider—from four to live and A half inches in the front seats, and an inch and a half in the rear seats. A decidedly larger car in looks, the 1985 V-8 actualfy is longer, measured from bumper to bump er. It not only looks the part but is a big car, almost eight inches longer than last year’s, with a spring babe (the distance from center to center of springs) of 123 inches. At the same time, retaining the original 112-inch wheelbase gives the new car all the maneuverability of the form er models. Twelve body types are intro duced in the 1936 Ford series, rhe nine De Luxe models are the Fudor Sedan and Fordor Sedan, rudor and Fordor “touring” se dans with trunks, 8- And 5-win dow coupes, roadsters, cabriolet and phaeton. In the low price models are the 5-window business coupe, Tudor Sedan and Fordor Sedan. The 1936 V-8 engine has been materially improved with a new type of crankcase ventilation. Ease of control has been increas ed by numerous chassis improve ments. that such action was necessary. While such authority exists at present it has not been evoked unless 80 per cent of the pro ducers favored the agreement and then did not apply to non-cooper ating signers. The new agree ments would bind minority pro ducers. Another provision looks for ward to the “ever normal gran ary” plan by permitting the AAA to make benefit payments in kind as well as in cash and gives authority to use the processing taxes to buy up cotton and corn now stored under seal as col lateral for government loans. CATTLE HERDS CULLED The "culling” of cattle herds by government purchases in the drought area has placed the in dustry in an extremely favorable position although still a long ways from becoming prosperous. When the books closed on gov ernment buying it was found that 8.156,322 animals had been bought at Nan average price of $13.50 a head- The removal of these animals, most of them of the poorer type, brought down the inventory to approximately 57,000,000, or about the same as 1900, 1912 and 1928. Millions of trees will be planted this Spring in the Great Plains shelter belt project. According to Federal officials the government will plant 4,000,000 trees in six states, North Dakota. South Da kota, Nebraska, Kansas, Okla homa and Texas. In addition, it is reported, Minnesota is working on its own shelter bait program and farmers in Wisconsin plan a five-year schedule, calling for setting out 10,000.000 trees.

Like every other institution of culture there were more in the primary grades. Bob Reynolds says that the government can pay two million dollars for bonus without it cost ing a cent. More and more am I convinced that he is our “Boob." General Hugh Johnson says the NRA is dodo. It used to be dough dough for him. Huey Long would be a thorn in the side of the Democratic party; but he is not sharp enough. Some man said he could not get head nor tail of what they are doing in Washington. Huey Long represents one end—and not the head. Strenous life—a town of 300 people trying to raise a 400 club. With Huey Long at the head of the government in Louisiana it has become one of our out LIEing possessions. It has got so the students can’t run a school without the faculty butting in. Business “spotty,” says Rogers Babson. That’s all right if the “spots’ ’are big enough. What A Suit! Mary Jane (as she and Johnny watch the circus parade)—Look, Johnny!
