DEMONSTRATION OF
 HOME WORK AT FAIR
 IF GREAT INTEREST

Many visitors to the fair have wis tied the home department of the ex- tension service. The special features have included daily demonstrations to encourage the home use of Arizona's food products. The tepary bean, sue cessfully grown by dry farming, may be served as puree soup, baked or steamed food and salad. Those who tasted them for the first time re- quested that the demonstrations be repeated. The peanuts served in sim liar ways and the variety of uses for peanut butter, classes it among the most useful of foods and offers pos abilities for a rotation crop with cotton.
 Honey cookies and sorghum ginger bread were popular Peanut maca- rooms and pecan wafers offer dainty food to be used with fresh dates Pe- cans almonds and walnuts offer a food value, well adapted to the warm eli mate of Arizona and superior to that found in meat.
 l Menus including celery filled with l pimento cheese tomato and cottage 1 cheese. date sandwiches, peanut loaf, l baked tepary beans, nut and raisin
 sandwiches, were displayed as sugges-
 tions for the homemaker in preference
 to those which require more heat in
 preparation. This department urges 1 the women of the state to demonstrate a loyalty to it's home grown products and use them in preference to the food
 which must be shipped in from other
 localities, creating a home market for
 all it's products.
 The Swiss chard may be served in the same combinations as asparagus,
 celery, lettuce and spinach. It's crisp
 ness makes it desirable for salads. The
 carrots might be used in a variety of
 ways for soup, salad, vegetable, con
 serve or pie. These demonstrations
 teach the women many new ways of
 serving them. The samples offered by
 the county agents, Misses Hazel Zim-
 merman, Flossie Wills, Nydia Acker Grace Ryand and the state home dem onstration agent, Miss Alice V. Joyce have proven that these products are
 popular and pleasing to the appetite.

 compare with the one where child life
 is present. so the exhibits of club work

 exhibit. The garment making projects
 have included the stocking and fabric . darn, the overland and hemmed patch hand towels, sewing aprons and bag night dress. princess slip, dresses botf ! new and reconstructed.
