more dry beans and peas to supple
ment the proteins needed in our
diets, more poultry to supplement
our supply of meats, and more of the
vegetables SO necessary and essen
tial because Of their high food value.
Speaking to the farmers Of
America, Claude r.. Wickard,
secretary Of agriculture, said:
''The 1943 farm production job
will not be easy" But he added
that sit was not easy in 1912
-. in general farmers met the
goals, and exceeded by IL per
cent the previous high records
set in 1941."
For months food officials have
been at work figuring out how much
the country can produce and have
fixed what they believe to be attain
able goals. They also know what
the minimum needs of this nation
are, besides the minimum for United
Nations countries, outside of what
they can supply by themselves.
What has them in doubt is the
amount of territory recaptured from
the Axis and the number of persons
within such territories who will have
to be fed. North Africa is a part
example of feeding natives in terri
tory wrested from the Axis.
The point rationing plan which is
to begin next month is said to pro-
vide a means of manipulating pub
lie demand and also compelling pub
lie adherence to predetermined
balanced diet. Each month, or ev-
cry six weeks the OPA will announce
various ''point values of various
type canned goods. Current point
value rates will be prominently post
ed in all grocery stores and house
wives can decide from an inspection
of the list what are the best "bar-
gains or "buys." s

The problem of what to send a

men themselves. Tobacco tops the
list Of gifts service men prefer

have a friend or relative in the
armed forces-Army, Navy, Ma
rines, or Coast Guard-who smokes
a pipe, or rolls-his-own, a pound of

Race Differences

Japanese and Chinese differ in
emotional reaction from Caucasians
and from each other, it has been
shown in experiments. One expert
ment consisted of dropping a huge
black object" near the outstretched
hand Of the subject and measuring
certain reactions such as change in
pulse rate, involuntary movement Of
the hand, electrical resistance Of the
skin, and rate Of breathing. It was
thought that the involuntary impulse
to avoid a painful blow has bio
logical origin which is not related to
cultural and environmental factors.
Change Of electrical resistance of
the skin and the movement Of the
hand were the reactions in which
the mongoloid races differed most
frequently from the Caucasian.
Change Of the pu1se-rate is chief in
differentiating the two Oriental ma
tionalities. The Japanese reaction
Is, on the whole, in somewhat sharp
er contrast to the Caucasian than il
that of the Chinese. The Chinese
reaction, while clearly distinct from
the Caucasian, Is not quite SO mark
edly distinct from 1t as the Japanese
reaction.

Nylon Rope

One of the most interesting nylon
applications is rope, a development
which dates back to 1910, when it
was produced for use for ''on-the-
fly" airmail pickup. Nylon's unusu-
al combination of lightness, strength
and elasticity made 1t ideal for this
purpose, as it took up the sudden
shock of. contact between the grab
hook of the plane and the mail con-
tainer.
When the army entered upon It's
glider program and decided to pick
up elders off the field, just as the
mail plane picked up mail at the
whistle stops" it tried nylon out
and found it most suitable. It COM
bines the strength of steel cable
with some Of the springiness of rub
Der. Nylon ropes are also used
when the glider and tow plane take
off from the field together. The rope
which recently towed the first Gid
er across the Atlantic, from Mont
real to London, was made Of nylon
and it is possible that some of the
glider troops who spearheaded the
invasion of Sicily were carried over
on the end Of nylon ropes.

Stews, Salads, Soups
Carrots Are Good in All

The carrot is an all-purpose vege-
table. It can be used in stews, pot
roasts, soups and chowders. It goes
into vegetable loaves, into sand
witches, and into salads.
Raw carrot is one of the best salad
joiners. You can shred the carrots
or cut them-in slender sticks, in
thin round slices, or in cubes.
Shredded carrots and cabbage
make a simple salad that's in season
throughout the year. Use salad
dressing to hold the vegetables to-
gether. You may add ground pea
nuts for variety. Shredded carrot
in nodded gelatin salad is a great
favorite, especially If you use, a
fruit-perhaps home canned peaches
or oranges when they are in season.
For sandwiches with crunch and
flavor, use grated carrot with
chopped raisins, prunes, home dried
peaches OF apples and salad dress
ing. Or, just use creamed butter
with carrots chopped fine.

Makeup Should Harmonic

A factor that needs checking in
the study of wardrobe color IL the
kind Of makeup you are wearing. If
you are wearing makeup with an
orange base, more than likely some
Of the blues, puppies and reds are
not as becoming as they could be.
Try your colors without any make
up and then with various tones in
makeup. A slight change in your
makeup may enable you to wear
other colors, or If you have not
been wearing makeup, q small
amount, wisely selected, may make
the colors more becoming.
Don't be surprised If the colors
which were especially becoming ear
ly in the season are not as suitable
now. Suntan usually brings out the
golden tones in your skin before it
goes into the lovely tans. However,
the softer colors make the skin APP
pear muddy as you get darker.
Clearer colors may accentuate the
tan, making it appear darker and
more stunning.

Wall Decorations Remove
Offices Halt Period

How eyestrain and nervousness of
employees were checked in large,
well-illuminated general factory Of
fee in which the light was too glar-
ing for desk workers, is explained In
bulletin Of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers.
Complaining of eyestrain and ia
tigue, accounting machine workers
showed a tendency to leave their
work frequently and to be fidgety
and irritable. Study showed the
walls and columns caused glare and
distraction. In glancing up the eye
was saturated with brightness. When
it returned to its task there was a
temporary blind" period during
which the employee had to wait for
his vision to adjust itself to the
darker working area.
BY painting the walls soft, blush
green, greater visibility was OBJ
tanned. In glancing up, the lowered
brightness of the surroundings was
relaxing and restful. When atten-
ton was again directed at the work,
there were no blind" or ''halt" pc
RODS. Under contrary conditions,
extensive use of white or very light
colored paint might be indicated,
according to the intensity or dim
ness of the lighting.

Thin Shell Eggs Sometimes
Guide for Hen Cullins

The production Of thin shelled eggs
during the summer cannot be. cor
rected by causing hens to consume
more oyster shell or some other
form of lime.
In most cases the birds have been
laying for a long period of time and
have exhausted their body reserves.
Thin shelled eggs may usually be
regarded as an index that the bird
is about to complete her laying pc
riod and this fact should be valuable
as culling guide.
Egg shells are chiefly calcium but
are formed when calcium, phos-
phorus and possibly other minerals
are broken down in the process Of
digestion. Research study also re-
veals that certain levels Of vitamin
D are necessary in preparing the
minerals for bone and egg shell for
nation.
If, at any season Of the year, the
mineral content Of the diet is of
balance or if an adequate quantity
Of vitamin d is not taken into the
animal body, thin shelled eggs may
result. In this case, high percent
age Of the eggs laid viii have thin
shells and the reason for this may
be truthfully ascribed to the diet.

Machine grease on work clothes
presents problem which calls for
immediate attention. II the gar
ments are washed without first re-
moving the spot, a yellow stain
usually remains. The sooner these
spots are treated, the easier they are
to remove and the less damage is
done to the fabric.
Begin the procedure by scraping
off excess oil and sand which may
be embedded in the heavy oil. Use
a dull knife and be careful not toecut
or injure the threads of the material.
Rub little lard or vaseline into the
stain in order to loosen It.. Rub
gently between the hands and then
scrape off the grease Rub again
with clean lard and repeat the proc
ess.: Finally sponge with q ersass
solvent and repeat Il the spot 10 not
removed Follow with reaulas wash

Hull Soybeans Differently
From Peas or Lima Beans

Soybeans are hulled differently
from peas or lima beans. To pre-
pare them for cooking, pour boiling
water over the pods and let them
stand Ave minutes in the boiling wa
ter. Drain, and then hull them by
breaking the pod crosswise and
squeezing out the beans.
Add one cup Of boiling water and
three-fourths teaspoon Of salt to one
pint of the hulled beans, cover and
cook for 10 minutes, counting time
when the beans begin to boil. Check
the time accurately and avoid over
cooking. Soybeans Of the vegetable
type should still be bright green in
color after cooking and have a nutty
texture. They do not soften like
green peas but can be used in any
of the ways that green peas or lima
beans are used.
When they are cooked, drain them
and season with butter or in any
other manner desired. Crisp bits
of bacon or salt pork add pleasing
flavor and may be used in place Of
the butter. Some people like a small
portion Of cream poured over the
beans just before they are served.
Others favor q thin, well-seasoned
cream sauce.

Wide Sleeves and Back
Kew to House Dress

To be satisfactory q house dress
must have the efficient features Of
any working outfit. It must have
room for lots of accommodating,
walking, bending and sitting. This
means that the sleeves should have
sufficient width through the upper
arm and fullness In the blouse is
necessary, especially through the
back. There must be plenty of width
in the skirt with no strain on buttons
and pleats. The style should be SIM
pie, yet becoming, with no fancy
designing or trimming to interfere
with easy laundering. Pockets are
convenience and should be well
placed and sufficient in size to be
useful
Since the house dress is the gar
ment which will be worn many hours
Of the day, it should be becoming
and attractive, one that the family
as well as the homemaker likes.
While it is difficult to find exactly
what we want these days, there are
lots of beautiful materials still on
the market. Color and design as
well as comfort and durability
should be considered when making
the selection. Percale, seersucker,
Bingham and chambray are suitable
and some are available in most mar
kets.
Whether the dress Is made at
home or a ready-to-wear, the design
should be simple, for it is not only
the most serviceable but also the
most beautiful.

May Use Dou6le Boiler
For Cream Pasteurization

Cream may be pasteurized In q
double boiler. Place the cream con-
tainer In pail Of water and set II
on the stove, stirring the cream oc-
casionally, until the temperature Of
the cream rises to 146 degrees. The
standard practice Is to maintain this
temperature for 30 minutes. A short
er method Is to use ITO degrees F..
for 10 minutes. After pasteurization
the cream should be quickly cooled
In cold or ice water to so degrees
f. or lower and held at that tenn
perature for at least three hours be-
fore churning. Some people prefer
to hold the cream overnight at the
churning temperature. The pasteur-
ization Of cream destroys the bac-
terra and engines which might lat
er cause deterioration Of the butter
flavor.
Low temperature refrigeration, Of
course, is best for long time butter
storage. Zero storage is used by
commercial operators. Cold storage
lockers, likewise, are ideal. Where
such storage is not available, butter
may be stored in salt brine. A COM
mon procedure is to wrap butter in
pound prints or rolls using two
parchment paper wrappers, tying
the outer wrapper with a string.
These prints or rolls are then SUBJ
merged in strong salt brine made
OF boiled water by adding salt at the
rate Of one pound of salt in four
pounds Of water. The butter is care
fully packed into eek, weighted
down with plate or clean, hard
wood rack and stone. The brine
is then poured in to cover the butter.

Automatic Bale Loader

Hay harvest, from cutting to stor-
ing the baled product, has become
almost an automatic process, with
machinery SO well doing most Of the
labor that women can replace men
in haying and baling. Mowers long
have been used to cut hay and leave
It in windows; balers that pick the
hay up In the windows, bale It
and dump It in the field, have been
in use for some time. Now Is an
nounced by the agricultural engi-
neering division Of the College Of
Agriculture on the Davis campus Of
the University Of California home
made bale loader that win pick the
bales up from the ground, carry
them up into the truck and dump
them there.
The loader obviates the necessity
Of men picking up bales and lifting
them into the trucks. In fact, say
the agricultural engineers, the work
10 30 light that aside from unloading
the bales from the trucks and stor.
ing them, women can do all the work
In the hay harvest field.
