FOQODefS
To make just 6 popovers. here
is a simple batter recipe. Beat 2
eggs well until they are very light
lemon colored, then beat in "a
teaspoon salt. Now add about %
cup good rich milk, and "a cup Of
four-the batter should be fairly
runny. If you like your popovers
sweet, add just a srnidgen Of sugar.
Beat the batter well until it Is very
light and almost foamy. Take
your heated popover pans from
the oven, grease them quickly
with a brush dipped in butter or
margarine, fill the molds half full
Of batter and bake in a hot oven
until puffed and golden brown.
Don't open the door to look at
them too often or they may fall

easily see wheat farmers Of the
Great Plains voting for quotas but
farmers in the Ohio Valley and
other diversified areas turning in
enough votes to defeat them.
Many diversified farms grow
wheat as a supplementary live
stock feed crop.
Some farm observers believe Mr..
Brannan will decide against a
quota referendum If there appears
to be any leeway at all in the sup
ply outlook. Instead of quotas, he
would rely on acreage allotments
to bring about some crop reduc-
tion.
Acreage allotments are used as
means of assigning to each
grower his fair share of response
bility for adjusting production to
the prospective market. Unlike
quotas, they do not require grower
approval. The allotments are less
rigid in that the only penalty in
volved for disregarding them is
loss of direct price support.
Under quotas-which tell a
farmer how much he can sell
excess sales are subject to q pen
atty tax which next year would be
around 80 cents Q bushel. In ad-
dition, q farmer selling more than
his quota could be deprived OF
price support aid.
In limiting 1850 controls to
acreage allotments, Mr.. Bran
nan would run no risk Of sharp
reduction in the price support in
an election year, but he would
run a political risk.
Allotments by themselves would
be less effective in cutting down
production. than quotas. II the
allotments failed to avert another
big crop the result would be an
addition to an already large sur
plus. Political foes could be ex-
pected to take him to task for not
using all the power available to
him-meaning quotas-to keep
surpluses from becoming burden
some. =
