The Use of Flour
 for Thickening
Should First Be Mixed With Sugar, Fat or a
 Cold Liquid

In the use of flour for thicken- ing for soups. gravies, and sauces. both starch and gluten have a great capacity for absorbing mois- ture. A strong" type of gluten will. In fact, absorb as much as 300 times It's own mass, and starch - when heated - will absorb considerably more.
 But in order for the starch in flour to do It's job as 6 thickener. 1t must first be thoroughly mixed with sugar, fat, or cold fluid. You know from sad experience how starch of any sort behaves when you try to mix 1t with q hot fluid. It just won't blend at all. but Humps" up in little round blobs that are all dry starch inside.
 The reason is this hot fluid causes each little starch particle to expand with almost explosive suddenness. Those which 1t touches first swell up instantly. rush together, and form tough coating around the others so that the fluid cannot get to them.
 But if you first mix your flour with sugar, fat, or cold fluid. their busy little particles slip in between the particles of starch and hold them apart until the fluid can reach them all. Then they ex- pand and absorb the moisture at a uniform rate.
 The more thoroughly the starch particles are blended with the sugar, fat. or, cold fluid by stir ring. the better they will be held apart. and the smoother our mix ture will be. We continue to stir, during cooking. in order to keep the starch particles separated. This insures uniform and thorough cooking.

A
PUBLIC SERVICE

For many years past the usual method
OF preserving eggs was to put them down in
liquid glass. This served the purpose as the
eggs could be taken out whenever needed,
washed and used. Of course, they were not
as good as fresh eggs, but for cooking they
did very well. When the hens take their an
nual vacation, this world wide food conmo-
dity commands a very high price, and oft
times the eggs shipped in are taken from
cold storage.
In the near future people will not have
to put up their winter egg supply in liquid
glass or depend Upon the uncertain cold stor-
age product, as a new preserving method
has been discovered by T. L. Swenson, a
bacteriologist in the u. S. department of
Agriculture. With his method, eggs may be
kept for months and still retain their fresh
ness and vitality of youth.
MIR. Swenson gives his eggs an oil bath
in an alright chamber which seals all the
goodness in a fresh egg and keeps it there.
thereafter, by changing pressure in the
chamber, he shoots in a little particle of car
bon dioxide. 1t has been found that the reas-
on eggs deteriorate in storage is because
they lose a small amount of moisture and
carbon dioxide and to prevent this taking
place he has developed this method. Tests
prove hat eggs treated this way are as good
as strictly fresh eggs after ten months stor-
age.
The oil coating used is colorless, odor-
less and t~asteless and does not impair the
egg or penetrate beyond the lining mem
brane.
The department of agriculture has Sc
cured a public service patent on MIR. Sven
sons process and it will soon be used COM
mercially.
This will be a new branch Of industry
and although it will be too expensive for in
dividuals to install for private use, it is be-
lieved that there will be several of these new
innovations placed in use in every county;
tn owner charging a small amount for treat
ing eggs brought to him by the consumer.

PAUPERIZE BOARD

The private grain trade, in seeking to
lave the Federal Farm Board hold stabiliaz-
ton surplus supplies of wheat off the mar
ket, was attempting to as quietly as possible
pauperize the board and paralyze the Agri-
cultural Marketing Act, NJ. w. Thatcher
declared.
Mr.. Thatcher, general manager of the
Farmers Union Terminal association of St.
Paul and a director and member of the exec
utive committee of the Farmers National
Grain corporation, returned Friday from a
six weeks trip through Europe, including
Russia, after attending the %lnternationa
Wheat Conference at London as an official
United States delegate.
Some senators from agricultural states
have rushed to Washington asking that sta
bilization corporation supplies Of kurplus
wheat be held off the market" MIR. Thatch-
er said. Undoubtedly their intentions were
good and the objective was to temporarily
enhance prices.
These senators have been tricked by
the private grain trade which hoped to see
the sterilization wheat held off the market
for these three reasons:
"First-To obtain the speculative
profits which would accrue to them.
"~Second-To profit by a few millions
a month in storage charges which they would
collect on space taken by this grain.
"Third-To exhaust the Federal Farm
boards revolving fund so that the board
would be pauperized as quickly as possible
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1931-07-16
and thus the Federal Marketing Act would

and thus the Federal Marketing Act would
be p~aralyzed.
1T took vision for the members of the
Farm Board and the officers of the Farmers
National Grain corporation to see through
this attempted program. 1t required courage
to act and avoid pitfalls in a program which
on its face appeared to be a helpful thing for
the farmers"
On his return from Europe. MIR. That
cher conferred with the Farm Board mem
bers at Washington and with the Farmers
National Grain corporation in Chicago to
help make r~eRnements in the marketing
plans for the 1881 crops and arranged for
adequate financing to carry out the pro-
gram.
Il never had taken much stock in the
Farm Board program sponsored by Alex
ander Legge while he was chairman seeking
to reduce wheat acreage in the United States
as nearly as possible to a domestic basis.
Today. after having travelled through
all of the wheat exporting and many Of the
importing countries Of Europe, including
5000 miles over the best of Russia's wheat
country, and observing the low standard of
living, which plays a major part in the costs
of wheat production and their lower trans
portation costs, it is obvious to me that we
have lost our export markets for wheat. In
terms OF price per bushel, European costs
are lower than the American farmers cash
outlay.
This country may pooh-pooh plans.
but a definite program is far better than to
have a few million individuals in these times
Of world depression and prices. Russia has
an effective farm plan and her millions of
people are working for the state on a defin-
it plan with the basest sort of living condi-
ions representing almost the total cost of
production. This spells utter ruin to the Am
erican Wheat grower whose price for ex-
port wheat is fixed by such a plan. AS a re-
suit am as enthusiastic as Mr.. Legge ever
was to see the farmers organized in their
own business of producing and marketing
wheat and other highly competitive pro-
ducts on a basis only for domestic consump-
ton.
The quicker that farmers and busin-
ess men Of the United States awaken to the
necessity for working out a well-thought-
out plan, the better off they will be.
After travelling through Europe, in
speeding farms and business plants, | am
convinced that not only have we the best
nation in the world, but | would prefer to be
in the ranks of the unemployed in this coun-
try than to be the proprietor of a business in
Europe"

COSTS A QUARTER
TO SECURE EGGS

Those economists and farmers who
say that eggs a be produced In
North Carolina for u low AZ Is to Is
cents a dozen, don't know what they
are talking about, according to DR.. B..
II. Kaupp, head Of the poultry depart
msnt Of the North Carolina State
college.
Doctor Kaupp states that 1t will
cost nearly Is cents 4 dozen II all
feed costs and overhead costs are
added 10 the totals. He bases his
statement on some experiments that
he has been conducting with a flock
OF $50 White LeghOrn hens at n Of
the branch station farms OF the North
Carolina experiment station.
~Some Of the data that I have seen
says that 1t costs the southern farmer
only about 10 to Is cents a dozen to
produce eggs" says Doctor Kaupp.
I'VE know that when hens have been
bred for high egg production, the cost
per dozen eggs is lower. and for that
reason 1t will certainly cost the aver
age farmer more to produce eggs than
It will the commercial poultry farmer
where the hens are bred for highest
production. This commercial man al
SO gives closer attention to his man.
agement and feeding than will the av-
erage farmer. We have many farmers
who are making money with poultry
but they are not considering their eggs
to cost only Is cents a dozen to pro-
duce." :
Doctor Kaupp used the regular
North Carolina ration In feeding his
test flock Of $50 hens. He kept a
careful and accurate record Of each
cent spent for feed, the cost Of litter,
grit, depreciation Of the flock, inter-
est on the investment, the labor, taxes
and other charges. Then there were
some miscellaneous charges such as
for medicines, egg cases, leg bands
and the like. He credited the hens
for all eggs, for all manure, and for
the poultry sold. Each hen returned
4 net profit above all costs Of $40
for the year and the eggs were pro-
duced at a cost just a fraction under
rs cents. He found, too, that It took
six pounds Of feed to produce each
tozen eggs.

SCALPERS AND SHYSTERS-

People of northeastern Montana are be-
ing preyed upon by a lot of scalpers, shysters,
sharks, and SINNERS these days. The country
side is literally overrun by alleged cattle
buyers, who offer the farmers next to moth
ing for their cattle and other livestock.
These fly-by-night stock buyers, have
been attracted here by the overplayed 40
toriety that has featured the frant pages of
newspapers that make their living by prey
ing upon the minds Of those who are always
ready to look upon the darkest side of every
thing.
Cattle are worth more and these buy
ers are offering, according to letters receiv-
ed by reputable stockmen from their com
mission houses. These commission merch-
ants say the cattle owners here should hold
on and not sell unless they can get a fair
price for their stock, as stock is actually
worth a good price now
Scarehead news articles by political pa
pers, supported by the communist finances
are picturing the situation as far worse than
it is. Alleged correspondents send in tales of
woe to these papers, and which is played up
to the detriment of this territory, and those
who live here and read such peace destroy
ing articles frequently think it is the literal
truth. AS a specimen Of some of the lies that
are circulated about the P~lentywood terri
tory, we will quote the following from a pol
itical paper issued in the eastern part of this
country:
= = *Stock of any kind has no
pasture, and much of it has been
driven from farms for miles around
to spots where formerly were
sloughs where there still are vestiges
of green grass. Many of the milk
cows are almost too weak to stand
for lack Of pasture or feed. In parts
Of North Dakota, which is just across
the line from here, it is reported wa
ter has been selling for So a tank.
*** In the stock-yards of many
of the small towns one can often
find five or six women or girls in
search of work, huddled together
around a fire to keep them warm for
the night, none of hem having mon
ey enough for a nights lodging"
There is much more in this story that
when read by outsiders portrays to them a
condition far worse than the actual truth,
and it is through such deliberate lies being
circulated that we are now infested with
people trying to buy things for little or moth
ing.
If there was no big profit in it for these
hikes they would not be here trying to
browbeat the farmers.
