Housewives Will
Not Suffer from
UtensiI SHORTAGE

Fortunately, limiting tn e
aluminium that can be used in
kitchen utensils works no great
hardship on homemakers," says
DR.. Louis Stanley. Chief Of the
Bureau Of Home Economics.
For, In addition to the supply
OF aluminium utensils already
made up. there are available
utensils of many other satisfac-
tory materials"
For top-of-the- stove cooking,
utensils of porcelain enamel
ware are the cheapest. Treat
enamel pots and pans carefully
to prevent chipping. Never boil
dry. Cool them before washing,
and let them cool before pouring
cold water into them. When food
sticks, soak 1t loose by boiling
water or a weak solution of soda
in them. Never scrape or use a
coarse abrasive.
IRON SERVES WELL
Iron is inexpensive, heats up
slowly, holds the heat well,
makes good skillets, frying pans,
and griddles.
Covering it with q non-salty
fat and heating iron pans at low
temperature for two or three
hours makes the utensils more
resistant to rust. Always dry an
iron kettle thoroughly. Clean
iron utensils with hot soapsuds
and an abrasive.
The new copper-clad stainless
steel utensils are excellent for
waterless cooking. Although
they are expensive, they are
very durable and will stand up
under long, hard wear. The
strongest acids, lemon Juice
for example, will not affect
them, and they keep a bright
color with q minimum of care.
The copper gives a fast, even
heat.
The following low-cost high
nutrition pudding was tested in
a new three-piece copper-clad
double boiler. While the pudding
steams in its special casserole
tray, other foods can be steamed
in the stainless steel bottom.
BREAD AND BUTTER
CUSTARD
(Serves 3, costs 32c)
One cup of raisins, quart OF
milk, sugar. 3 eggs, cinnamon,
fresh or day old bread.
Line the bottom of the casser-
ole with slices of bread (crusts
removed), butter each piece of
bread, sprinkle with sugar.
then cinnamon, and dot lavishly
with raisins. Continue doing this
layer after layer until the cas-
serole is almost filed. Then beat
and yolks together, add milk
and beat again, pouring this In
carefully at, the side of the cas-
serole. For the top layer, toast
the slices of bread in your cleo
trio toaster, sprinkle with sugar,
cinnamon and raisins. FLU the
bottom part of the double Boiler
half way up with boiling water,
insert the casserole top, put on
the tight fitting lid and turn the
flame down to low, cook until
the custard thickens, or about
a of an hour. The only thing
necessary to watch Is your
water; be sure 1t does not boil
away.

TRY NEW FLAVORS

Many of US get into cooking
ruts with our pies, cakes, pud-
dings and custards. We have q
recipe that has proved satisfac-
tory and we use this recipe with
out change - time after time.
Often q change in the flavoring
used, in the meringue, the frost
ing, the filling or in the actual
ingredients will give US some
thing entirely different yet
equally delicious.
Take your favorite re n n t.
custard for example. This is eco
nomical and healthful. It calls
for no eggs, no boiling and no
baking. But perhaps you stick
closely to vanilla, raspberry or
chocolate as q flavor. Why not
try a recipe like one of the fol-
lowing and get a real dessert
thrill?

Chickens, Planned in
Washington, N. C.

WASHINGTON, N. c., Feb. 49,
A broiler production plant with a
capacity of 38, 500 chickens, h e
largest poultry enterprise of its
type in the state, is preparing to
open here. w. G. Andrews, as
sistant farm agent of the N. c.
State College Extension Service, re-
ported today. Construction of the
first unit of the plant, a brooder
house to hold 5000 baby chicks, is
nearing completion.
H. G. Walker, Beaufort county
feed and seed dealer, will operate
the big poultry plant. He has or
dered his first shipment of 5000
Barred Rock chicks for delivery
on February 18. He plans to start
another brood of several thousand
chicks every two weeks thereafter.
Andrews, who has been working
in Beaufort county as a special
poultry assistant agent since last
July said that Mr.. Walker hopes
to be able to sell 5000 brollers
every week after the pant reaches
capacity production.

will be operated On a y~ear-round
basis, with a capacity of about $780,

Seven brooder houses, in all, will
be built. Four of the houses will
be 2OOx2C feet in size and each
will hold 5000 chicks; two will be

Babies Born
In u. S. During 1910

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. - Up -
An estimate that 1850, 900 babies
were born in the United States last
year, the highest number since 1880,
came today from the census bureau.
This was approximately 100000
greater than the 1899 total and lifted
the national birth rate from 17.3 to
Is for every 1000 of population. The
rate was the lowest in 1888. when
it stood at 1876.
Nevertheless, the bureau said that
the ~long-range birth rate trend still
was downward. 1t attributed the
1910 rise largely to the fact that
persons born of marriages during the
immediate post-werld war period
which saw a sharp upturn in we'd
reached the reproductive
ages.

This is the season when farm

six suggestions-important prac-
tees, easy to accept and follow
for the improvement of your eco.

err. Mr.. Noodles suggestions for
increased farm returns are based
on better soils, higher yields OF
cash crops and more food and
feed crops. He points out that
definite farm plans and careful
records do save dollars, then he
urges these six important prac-
tees, not merely for 1941 but for
better farming in the future gen.
orally:
l. Higher per acre yields of bet
ter quality cotton, tobacco, or other
cash crops mean lower unit cost
and greater real income.
2. Community cooperation in one
variety cotton production to in
crease market demand and better
average price.
8. Crotalaria for soil building
and seed, lespedeza for soil build
ing, hay, and seed; compost ano
synthetic manure-all save and
make money through increased
yields per acre.
with reference to Crotalaria
Crotalaria spectabilis is an excel
lent legume but its leaves. stems
and seeds have been found to be
toxic to all livestock and a small
quantity can kill an animal. Use
this plant for cover or for building
the soil but don't let your stock
get to it,
4. To replace bought food, more
s%ugarcane or sorghum for syrup,
more sweet and Irish potatoes
larger gardens and truck patches
S. Additional feed crops for de.
sirable rotations and to make pos
sible more livestock.
s. Clearing up bottom lands for
better pastures, with resulting fuel
