LIVESTOCK AND DAIRY COUNCIL
MEETS AT COLLEGE PARK

Members of the State Livestock
and Dairy Advisory Council met at
the University of Maryland ON Oc-
tober 80 for the purpose of review
ing the work that is being carried ON
in those lines and adopting sugges-
tions for the future.
Alan McGregor, of Kent County,
is chairman Of the council and lead
ing stockmen and dairymen from all
parts of the State are members.
Speaking at luncheon session,
DR.. H. c. Byrd, President Of the
University of Maryland, emphasized
that research is needed in the mar
keting Of livestock and dairy pro-
ducts. He suggested that Find mar
kets, develop markets, and find out
how to reach markets be adopted
instead of the old slogan, make two
blades of grass grow where one grew
before" He said that "the most
wasteful thing is to admit that we
can get rid of diseased cattle only
by slaughter" and that we must
have research to find ways for re-
ducing this waste. The livestock in
dustry, he declared, Is moving from
the west to the east.
DR.. T. B. Symons, dean and direc-
tor of the extension service, called
the attention of members of the coun-
Gil to the possible effect of the de-
Tense program upon the dairy and
livestock industries, especially the
locating of some 10000 men at
Camp Meade and the development
at Indian Head. He pointed out that
these developments in Maryland
would require large quantities of
dairy and livestock products.
The work that is being done by
the University in research, instruc-
ton and extension were outlined by
DIR. Friedrich H. Leinbach. head of
the animal husbandry department,
and DR.. Kenneth L. Turk, head of
the dairy department, and their as
sociates. DR.. Mark Welsh, state vet
erinarian, reported on Bangs disease
control. A visit was made to the
dairy and animal husbandry barns
in the afternoon.

FOOTBALL ROADS DANGER TO

With the football season at its

despite the mauling they take. than
to the fans who jam the stadiums.
The truth is. says the National

vention division of the Association
of Casualty and Surety Executives.
that more fans are killed or injured
in traffic accidents going to and from
the games. and from other causes.

out on the gridiron.
Football coaches do everything
possible to reduce the danger Of in

are not so fortunate. Not only dur
ing the game, but on the way to and
fro mthe game, they are exposed In

ards. Heavy traffic congestion. ex-
cessive speeding, skidding ON wet
leaves, early twilight with its at

of some fans to mix driving and

ROAST TURKEY THE MODERN
SH WAY

A moderate oven, shallow, UNI
covered pan, and q rack are the only
properties needed for success In
roasting young turkey the modern
way, says Lucy Alexander, poultry
cooking specialist Of the Bureau of
Home Economics, U. s. Department
Of Agriculture.
Miss Alexander advises roasting
young turkey in an uncovered pan,
because then any steam that is form
ed in cooking is not closed in the
rooster to draw the juices. There
needs to be "a rack in the pan to keep
the bird. from sticking and to allow
the hot air to circulate under the
turkey, and cook 1t evenly.
Any pan is suitable for roasting
il 1t is shallow and IL 1t is big enough
for the turkey. A shallow pan works
best because in 1t the air circulates
under the bird more rapidly than In
deep pan. To keep the meat juice,
do not add water in cooking to form
extra steam. Keep the oven temper
AZURE moderate all through the
roasting so the turkey will be tender
and evenly cooked when done.
Roast medium-sized turkeys--10
to 10 pounders--at about 800 degrees
F. for from to hours. The IA to
II Founders need slower oven,
about 275 degrees F., for from An
to 5h hours. Very large turkeys,
over 18 pounds, need to 8 hours at
from ESQ degrees to 275 degrees r.
The to Founders may be. cooked
in about 21s to 8 hours at about
325 degrees F.
To further make sure of even
cooking, turn the turkey from side
to side and have it breast up about
one-third of the time. At each turn
ing, haste with fat. Small and med
ium-sized turkeys need to be turned
about every half to three-quarters
of an hour, larger turkeys less FREE
quently.
