AMPLE CAR SERVICE
FOR STRAWBERRY CROP
Governor Townsend Says Railroad
Co. Assures Him There Will
be No Curtailment.
special Correspondenee Of Every Evening

Special Correspondence of Every Evening
Dover, March 9-Because of a general
report among the large strawberry grow
ers and shippers in Sussex. county, es-
pecially in and around the towns Of
Bridgeville, Seaford, Laurel, SelbyvIlle,
Georgetown and Millsboro, that cars
could not be provided the coming sea-
son for the shipment Of the strawberry
crop, so much concern was felt over the
matter that some Of the growers cOntem-
plated plowing up their acreage and
some few already have done this.
Governor Townsend, while at the State
House yesterday, gave an interview rela-
tive to the situation, being vitally inter
ested both as a grower, canner and ship
per of strawberries, in which he stated
that he had positive assurances from the
railroad authorities that conditions this
wear would be no different from former
wears, that of normal conditions in the
shipping of berries.
An expression of opinion has been re-
ceived, that strawberries from which
jellies, Jams, preserves and other like
products are made, are as essential for
military use as other products and for
this reason are to be considered as valu-
able an asset for food product as other
rnent and military service and In use
by them IN the service.
The governor further desired it known
that no alarm should be felt by straw
berry growers over the shortage of cars,
as ample provision will be made for
carrying the crop as In former years.

Every housewife should 60 to the

that are made.
Women are taking advantage Of the
demonstrations at the Liberty Kitchen
and last night found a goodly number
there 10 see Mrs G. : Hammltt cook
with butter substitutes. and to hear the
valuable things she had TO say about fats
Mrs Hammitt spoke of the great need FOL
conserving fats not only because oul
Allies need it for food, but because glycer-
inc, which If 8 by-product of fat. Is used
for explosives. That is why housewives
should not buy fats to make soap. II
they make il from scraps in their owl
homes all well and good, but fat should
not be bought for it. Manufacturers
can extract the glvcerine from fat, and
then pass 1t on to the soap makers, and
In this way both munitions and homes car
be accommodated.
Vegetable fats and nut buffers, ar
good for adults but for children, Mrs
Hammitt advises the use of butter. Mrs
Hammitt made good cooking fat from
suet and q vegetable oil and made gooC
corn -four biscuits out of it; and she made
cakes with nut butter. She also mad'
two slads, peanuts and bananas, anC
peanuts and cabbage. both good to suppl,
the green vegetables that every ont
needs. and the fats equally indispensable
Chocolate too. she advised as Il fat food
and she made chocolate pudding, whicl
proved very delicious. Instead of uslni
lat for pastry, Mrs. Hamnitt suggested
Die made with biscuit dough for crust
and instead of deep frying, browning il
the oven.
