Organized groups of livestock
farmers, such as dairy service

division of animal industry re-

of his staff meets with the

agent and a committee from the
group requesting the test. To
gether they plan for county
meetings to explain the testing
program.
After the meetings, petitions
are circulated. When 81 percent
of the cattle owners owning rs
percent of the cattle have sign
ed, a county is ready for the
countrywide test.
Hay said no Ohio county is
forced to have a county test. He
added that the basis of an effec-
tive disease control program is
willingness to cooperate and par
ticipate.

Editor Speaks His Mind On The probIerns
Thai Appear In WeekIies Ind DaiIies

Few people appreciate that a
newspaper throw away, each day
about three times as much news
as it prints. This calls for a per
petual job of selection.
But when the subject is highly
controversial, the touchy reader
can find in the presence, or alb
sence, a charge of slanted think
ing. He can quarrel with the
headline, or complain that not
enough details are given, or too
many! He is right sure the i'm
personalized editor who did it,
has it in for the readers pet
theory.
Rarely does anyone compli-
ment an editor, except in the
case that caused this comment:
newspaper rejoices when its
contents are thought about to
the extent of differing, quite as
much as approving.

High Egg Production
HELPS Beai Low Price

Poultrynen cut egg produc-
ton costs 2 cents a dozen when
they increase rate of lay by a
dozen eggs per hen. Emil NAL
inovsky, Ohio State University
extension poultry specialist, says
it takes constant culling to keep
loafers from eating poultrymen
out of business.
At today's prices, it costs poul-
trymen 35 to 40 cents to produce
dozen egg if their flock aver
ages so eggs per 100 hens daily.
Feed costs alone average 20 to
Is cents a dozen at this level of
production.
A 5-pound non-laying hen eats
about So pounds of feed a year,
That same 5-pound hen would
eat only 80 pounds of feed a
year at so percent production.
Malinovsky advises poultry
men to aim at so percent pro-
duction or higher He emphasiz-
es that hard working hen eats
only few more pounds of feed
than a loafer.
He suggests poultrymen ask
their county extension office for

for effective control measures.
According to Mr.. Kroesen, the
evaluation of the Salk vaccine
is now in progress, and an
nouncement Of the results of the
test will not be made until
spring.
Half of the 1900 Ohio chill
dren were inoculated with the
Salk vaccine, and then to pro
vide comparison (and so no one
would know who had the vac
cine) half were inoculated with
placebo, an innocuous substance
substituted for the vaccine.
Reaction of those with the
vaccine and those with placebo
will be compared before the
tests are complete.
Vaccine will be available next
spring to all Ohio first and
second graders, Mr.. Kroesen re-
ported, as well as to second,
third, and fourth graders in
Montgomery and Richland coun-
ties who did not receive the vac
cine in the field trials last
spring.
Taking a calculated risk on
the eve of another March of
Dimes campaign, the National
Foundation for Infantile Para
lysis has ordered $9,000,000
worth of Salk vaccine readied
for use in the spring. This order
for vaccine is one of the reasons
the National Foundation will be
seeking $64,000,000 next month.
During 1854 the National
Foundation granted epidemic aid
advances of $470,050 to 35 of the
90 chapters in Ohio; those chap
ters receiving the advances had
exhausted their treasures in
paying for patient care.
With tits a bigger job now"
as their watchword, all Ohio
chapters of the National Foun-
dation are poised to conduct a
successful March of Dimes cam
paign in January.
Adding impetus to the March
of Dimes will be the first or
ganized effort among teen-agers
to raise funds. Miss Jeri Suer, a
senior at Wilmington high school
is Ohio chairman Of TAP (Teens
Against Polio) These youth
groups are planning activities
to raise funds which they will
contribute to the local March of
Dimes campaign.

Ohio VIII Expand
BruceIlOsis TESTING

Ohio is expanding its brucel-
losis testing program rather than
offering indemnity payments
with additional federal funds
appropriated last fall.
DR.. James Hay, chief of the
Ohio division of animal industry,
and r. r. Starbuck, Ohio State
University extension dairy spec
ialist, said Ohio dairymen, breed
association representatives and
county agents from 43 Ohio
counties recommended that
action. These men responded to
a request to each Ohio county
for representative farmers to
advise on use of these funds.
All but three of those attend
ing asked that the funds be
used to expand the present test
ing program. Three farmers
asked that part of the funds be
used for indemnity and part for
an expanded testing program. No
one advised using the funds en-
tirely for indemnity.
Hay said the division plans
to add 2 more portable labor
atories to speed the ring test
program. Fifty-five Ohio coun-
ties show have a brucellosis test
ing program in operation. Six
teen of these have started with
in the past 2 years.
Before the additional federal
funds were made available, the
division planned to have a test
ing program in all Ohio coun-
ties by 1858. Hay said this time
will be shortened now.
These additional federal funds
are available until June 80, 1856.
Hay expressed concern that the
Ohio testing program may lag
again unless additional state
funds are available when the
federal grant expires.
Hay and Starbuck stated that
city health ordinances also are
speeding brucellosis testing in
the state. Some Ohio cities have

Final Quarterly BU(
Reports VIII Be Due
From Employer, Jan. 81

Contribution forms for the
final quarter of 1854 are being
mailed this week by the Ohio
Bureau of Unemployment Com
pensation, Ernest Cornell, BUG
administrator, announced today.
The forms will go to more than
$4,000 employers who are sub
ject to the Ohio Unemployment
Compensation Act and are liable
for the payment of contributions,
Cornell said.
While the technical due-date
for return Of the completed
forms and tax-remittances is
January l, 1855, employers are
given until January 81 to mail
their tax returns to the BUGS
Contribution department.
Under the Ohio law, employ
ers are required to pay contri-
buttons after they hire three or
more workers in any one day.
The term three or more work
ers" includes part-time or short
term workers as well as full
time employees.
AS examples, Cornell cited the
garage owner who may hire a
third mechanic to handle Friday
and Saturday extra business, or
the dentist whose employees
total three when he hires part
time custodial help. Other en-
ployers who use part-time or
short-term help are grocery
stores, filling stations, small
manufacturers, etc.
Cornell pointed out that en-
ployers have the responsibility
of reporting their own liability,
adding that anyone who is not
sure of his employment status
can secure immediate assistance
by writing the BUGS Contribu-
ton Department.
The BUC chief said that any
employer who does not receive
contribution form (BUC 2e)
by the first week of January
should request a copy immedi-
ately by writing to this address:

Food Preserving Process
Combines Freezing, Drying

Dehydrofrozen apples, apri-
cots, peas, and pimientos have
recently made their debt in the
market place. Other fruits and
vegetables prepared by this new
process will undoubtedly follow.
AT present, these new products
are going to large-scale food
users, but they may before long
be packaged for home use.
Dehydrofreezing, already in
use by six commercial firms
with more showing interest, was
developed by the u. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture's Western
Regional Research Laboratory at
Albany, Calf.
A combination of freezing and
partial dehydration, the new
process offers several advantages
over more conventional meth
ods OF food preparation. Deny
drofrozen fruits and vegetables
weigh less and take less space
than the same quantity of food
prepared by ordinary freezing
In addition, flavor and texture
are far more natural" than
those resulting from convention
al dehydration and in some
cases superior even to the fresh
frozen products.
Ordinary freezing, it is ex-
planned, tends to rupture ceIlu-
lar structure. That according To
the USDA food preservation ex-
pertS, explains why many fruits
and vegetables break down
somewhat in texture after
freezing and thrawing. Partial
dehydration helps the cells to
stand up better under the freez-
ing process. On the other hand,
IN the partial-drying step tenn
peratures are kept low enough
to prevent flavor changes char

foods.

(Reprinted from the Athens
Messenger)

When a reader gets irritated
enough to call up the editor and
give him hell about something in
the paper, he is expressing
uniue liberty enjoyed scarcely
anywhere but in America, but
more Importantly he is conpli-
menting the newspaper as it can
be done in no other way.
Any time that the people don't
care what a newspaper says, or
how it says it, the day for that
paper will be over. More great
publications prosper because
their people read them to dis
agree, than those read for agree
ment.
Americans love to differ with
each other, and probably no 9TH
er agency furnishes as good an
avenue for individualistic think
ing as does the newspaper with
its record of the events of the
world.
There is an old saying that
everyone things he could run a
newspaper, and certainly better
than it is being run. What this
popular idea means, is the in
dividuaPs inherent desire to run
one the way he thinks it should
be run.
Rarely, if ever, does the dis
claimant realize that, if he ran
it his way, he would probably
get into more hot water with his
readers than does the man doing
it already.
That is because, in the course
of long newspaper experience,
editors develop a far greater
tolerance than they are given
credit for. Having come up
against so many circumstances
of opinionated people, the pro-
fessional editor realizes the i'm
possibility of pleasing everyone
and the need for patience in
serving, or placating, the man
or woman with a fixed idea of
what should be.
The common complaint of
those who would have the sheet
be otherwise, is that editors are
slanting the news. AS a matter
of fact, that type of journalism
is practically extinct. News edi-
tors do not slant the news one
iota as much as the readers
would like to have it slanted!
The point is they couldn't slant
it more than one way at a time,
so how could they slant it to
please everybody?
Now, of course, there is plenty
of room for selection of one news
story over another, and in that
field, the smart editor is the one
who selects with a good know
ledge of his readers in mind. He
can't know for sure what the in
dividual will like, but he knows
what the majority will like.

of the corn belt.
The corn stover - that por-
ton of the stalk which remains
after the grain has been remov-
ed - was formerly bundled and
laboriously hauled to the barn
for winter feeding. Now it is al
lowed to remain in the field
where the livestock may browse
at will, cleaning the grain that
escaped the merchanical fingers
of the power-driven corn harves-
ter. On the highly specialized
grain farms that have no live
stock, the task of reducing the
stalks to a mulch on the surface
of the soil may be accomplished
by the use of a power-driven
stock beater, or by a once-over
treatment with a large disc har-
row.
These power-driven tools have
wrought another change in the
farm landscape that will be
evident to persons accustomed
to the neatly fenced fields of an
earlier period. Many boundaries
have completely disappeared, as
fields have been merged to per-
NIT more efficient use of mech
anized equipment. Frequently
the only semblance of a field
enclosure is an electrically
charged wire, supported on in
sulators attached to wooden
stakes or metal pins. The wire
is often so small in diameter
that it is barely visible at a hun
dred PAGES.
Similar changes have occurred
about the farmstead. The farm
well and pump may still be in
the same location, but the task
of pumping water for the live
stock and household use is
usually accomplished with the
aid of an electric motor, now
that electric energy is available
on virtually every farm.
The outward appearance of
the barn may be no different
from that of twenty years ago,
but the contents within have
change. The horse stalls, for ex-
ample, may still be there but
are no longer being used to
house the farm teams. oMst like
ly the area formerly reserved for
the horses is now being used to
house some other class of live
stock. Or, if the space is being
used for general storage it may
contain any one Of a number of
items, such as brightly printed
paper bags of commercial ferti-
lizer for next years crops, or
weed spray materials, or the
garden tractor, or the power
lawn mower, or other equipment
relatively unheard of on the
farm a generation ago.

many prefer it, keep it chilled in
the refrigerator until you are ready
to use it, since it softens easily at
room temperature. Hydrogenated
vegetable shortcomings are firm at
room temperature, but you may
chill them if you like. Use water
that is icy cold.
Cut in Shortening
Sitting the flour and salt togeth-
er is easy-no problem to that. The
next step is one that needs little
explaining for the novice. Cut or
rub in shortening Figure y. Cut
the shortening into the flour, using
a pastry blender, blending fork, met
al spatu1a or knife. Just empty the
shortening into the flour, then keep
cutting through the mass of short
ening until it is distributed through
the flour in pieces about the size of
small peas.
Some experienced cooks like to
rub the shortening through the flour
with their fingers until it is the
right size. But this does take some
experience and must be done quick
ly so that the heat from the hands
will not soften the shortening.
Add Water
When shortening particles are
evenly distributed through the flour,
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-01-01

start adding the water Figure D.
Sprinkle the water, a teaspoon at
time, over the surface of the flour
shortening mixture. AS you sprinkle
the water, toss the flour mixture
lightly with fork. Keep sprinkling
the water on the dry portions, tea
spoon at time. Work quickly to
distribute the water evenly through
out.
You want to use enough water so
that the dough will stick together,
yet not so much that the dough will
be sticky and the resulting pastry
will be tough Figure -. Test it by
pressing the particles together to
see whether they tend to stick to-
gether. When they do, empty the
crumbly dough onto a piece of
waxed paper. Then wrap the waxed
paper around the dough, pressing
the dough together into ball.
Roll Out Pastry
Set the ball of dough aside while
you are preparing the filling. Many
cooks put it into the refrigerator.
Often the dough is easier to handle
after it's been chilled. When the
filling is prepared you are ready to
roll out the pastry.
For this, it is well worth the in
vestment to buy a pastry cloth,
