With the supply of locally grown
vegetables and fruits becoming
larger and prices lower now is the
time for the homemaker with
freezer to start putting in foods for
next winters good eating. Foods
which freeze satisfactorily are
meats, poultry, fish and eggs;
fruits, such as berries, cherries,
plums, apricots, peaches, and some
others; vegetables, such as aspar-
agus, beans, broccoli, corn, peas
greens and some others; butter,
and probably other fats.
Helpful for kitchen efficiency in
home freezing fruits and vege-
tables is table showing how many
packaged pints to expect from
batch of fresh produce.
Dependable arithmetic of this
sort is the homemaker's best guide
when she lines up her work, de-
Gliding how much packaging ma
terial to get out, how much sirup
to make for a fruit, how much
freezer space the newly packed
food will require. Yield figures
come in useful also when the fam
lily food planner makes cost com
parsons and decides which foods
to freeze and how much.
Approximate amounts of a num-
ber of fruits and vegetables from
garden or market that it takes to
package 1 pint for home freezing
are given in the following table,
based on research in the Bureau
of Human Nutrition and Home Eco
nOmics. There is bound to be some
variation because yield depends
partly on such factors as quality
and maturity of the food. the way
you cut or trim it, and the style
of pack.
For 1 pint of frozen food, you
need approximately:
Beans, lima lin pods)-2 to 215
pounds.
Beans, snaps to l pound.
Berries Except raspberries and
strawberries)-1h to IL pint.
Broccoli pound.
CdHJdiOupeS-1 10 IA pOuHuS.
Cherries, sweet or sour-1A to
11a pounds.
Corn, sweet lin husks)-2 to 215
pOunds.N
Greens (collard. kale. spinach) -
l to 1h pounds.
Peaches to 115 pounds.
Pears-1 to IA pounds.
Peas-2 to 21s pounds.
Plums-1 to 115 pounds.
Raspberries-1 pint.
Strawberries-2s quart.
Sweet pOtatOes-2s pound.

Cow Is Foster Mother"

The COW has been called the
foster mother" OF the human race,
and she justly deserves this title
in the opinion of George Vapaa,
county agricultural agent.
Calling attention to the fact that
June is Dairy Month, the agent
pointed out that cows came to
America with the first settlers who
founded the jamestown colony in
Virginia. AS far as anyone is able
to determine, fBOssy" gave her
first pail OF milk on this side of
the ocean. soon after stepping off
a ship in 1611-almOst $50 years
ago.
AS the settlers began moving in
land from the seacoast, the wagon
trains always had cOws-usually at
least one for each family.
The COW served as a food factory
on the move. AS the wagons made
their way west, all the COW needed
was grass and water With this.
she could provide milk and butter
for the pioneer family. Cows often
had stalls inside the early cabins
to help keep them warm during the
cold winter months.
THAT shows you how highly
early American families valued
their cows" Vapaa declared.
The agent explained that June
is chosen as Dairy Month because
this is the period of heavy milk
flow. Cows are on lush, green pas
ture, which produces large guam
titles of milk. Fluid milk, butter,
cheese, ice cream, cottage cheese,
and other dairy products are abun-
dant at this time, he pointed out.

In a test conducted by MSU's bu-
reau of business research televis-
ion-taught students, who had had
no instructor in the classroom, not
only learned to type faster, but
made fewer errors than did stu
dents taught in a classroom. The
bureau conceded the television

Extension Is Proposed

Eventually the proposal is to
extend this system to territorial,
provincial and then national levels.
The Belgians conceive it as a pro-
gressive training program in the
duties and problems of self-gov-
eminent.
The franchise probably will be
extended to all adult males, with
some higher qualifications for can
didates. The idea is to control the
functions of the councils rather
than the vote.
A high colonial official predict
ed today that the system would
evolve into a program of general
elections over several years.
"But first" he said, "we must
show the people what it means to
govern"
The eventual relationship be-
tween the Congo and Belgium is
not discussed in detail. That is "a
problem of the future" the official
said.
He explained that the first aim
was to organize what was called
a Belgian-Congolese community
within the colony. Only then will
it be possible to solve the problem
of the relationship between Bel
GUM and the Congo.

thing else in the human sphere

a system of pyramids.
Each city declared eligible will
be divided into several townships.
Leopoldville, a city of about 1900
white and $4,000 Negroes, prob
ably will include from nine to Is
townships.
A burgomaster appointed by the
Government will be the executive
officer of each township. Most of
the burgomasters appointed by the
Government will be European at
first, but it is expected that Ne
groes will be named as they ad-
vance in the civil service.
Each burgomaster will be ad-
vised by a township council, of
which perhaps one-third of the
members will be elected, one third
appointed and the rest chosen by
the first two groups. The precise
details have not been established.
These councils, in turn, will
choose a third of the members of
a city council. Appointed mem
bers, jointly selected members and
the township burgomasters will
make up the balance.
The burgomasters will hold final
power in police and administrative
matters. But the councils will be
able to levy certain taxes and a.
mend budgets submitted by their
