COTTAGE CHEESE CAMPAIGN

To make every drop of milk useful
to the food supply, the Dairy Division
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture will launch an active
campaign to promote the making and
use OF cottage cheese. A corps OF
cheesemaking specialists will demon
strate the creamery methods of turn
ing their waste skim into this value
able product Milk producers will be
encouraged to send as much whole
milk as possible TO the creameries
which undertake to manufacture cot
tage cheese, and efforts will lie made
to induce the public to eat more OF
that attractive and nutritious food.
To help individual farmers utilize
their skim milk. groups of specialists
cooperating with the State agencies,
particularly demonstration workers in
home economics. will give practical
instruction in cottage cheesemaking
in the home and on the farm. The
specialists will demonstrate the pro-
cess before groups of farm women
and in connection with regular short
courses. while in certain sections they
will give individual instruction.

STORE WINTER SUPPLIES

A family of five, including 2 adults
and three children under IL years of
age, under ordinary living conditions,
should have stored for each month of
the winter season the following food
supplies: bushel of Irish potatoes;
IL bushel of other root vegetables
such as carrots, turnips, and parsnips,
IS quart cans of other vegetables; and
20 quarts of canned fruit and preserv-
es. These figures are based on estim-
ates by the United States Department
OF Agriculture, which adds that most
of this should come from the perish
able products OF the many home gard
ems of this year.
With these figures as basis, it is
thought that almost any family may
calculate its requirements, taking into
consideration the length OF the winter
season in any given locality. Thus
in the South, where food crops may
be grown in the fall, the winter allow
ance may be less than for the North,
where one must count on supplies Tor
several months longer.
There is still time, says the depart
ment. for a final drive in canning, pre-
serving, and drying. In using dried
vegetables. il may be assumed that a
given quantity of dried vegetables is
equal to four times its bulk of canned
vegetables: that is. one-fourth of a
quart of dry string beans when soak
ed over night is approximately equal
to one quart canned.

Potatoes.

There seems to be some uneasiness
on the part OF potato growers on &C
count of the prospective large crop OF
potatoes and the disappointing prices
now quoted. In some sections this
has resulted in some d;minution OF
cultural attention given this crop, so
that few farmers are not spraying
as thoroughly as should be done to
prevent damages by blight and insects
In view of the large amount of grain
and other food stuffs which must be
sent to the allies it is wise to encour-
age the use of potatoes in bread max
ing. A high grade OF bread may be
made consisting of 10 to 80 per cent
OF potatoes equal in food value to that
made entirely from wheat flour.
If even 10 per cent of potatoes
were used as a substituted or wheat
flour in bread making it would save
between Is and 80 million bushels of
wheat for the allies and absorb prac-
tically the entire prospective surplus
OF potatoes, thus exercising powerful
influence in stabilizing potato prices,
Sue ha useof potatoes, together with
fair use directly on the table in ell
homes. should quickly absorb the en-
tire promised surplus.
All effort should be stressed to
raise every pound OF potato possible.
1t is hoped that through plans now in
the making for more equitable dis
tribution of the crop and greater use
of potatoes directly and in bread max
ing. the demand for potatoes will be
sufficient to absorb the entire crop at
prices adequate to more than cover
the cost OF production. even though
the costs are much higher than usual
