Delaware Food Market
Report
BY ANNE HOlBERTON
Agricultural Extension Service
University of Delaware

New Year resolutions to save
money in 1862 will get off to a
good start when you use the plenti-
ful foods list as your shopping
guide. This list is issued each
month by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, and from the looks of
this list food is a bargain again
this month.
Topping the list is an appetizing
breakfast grapefruit and
honey The recent cold wave in
Florida hasn't done too muc
damage to the citrus fruit so far;
supplies continue to be abundant
and prices very reasonable.
Other plentiful foods to add to
your shopping list are apples,
potatoes, brOiler-fryerS, pecans and
frozen and canned red cherries.
This years apple crop is turn
ing out to be even larger than
predicted and many varieties are
available to suit your every need.
Potatoes also are in bumper sup
ply this winter and continue to be
penny saving vegetable
The 1861 red cherry crop turned
out to be much larger than it was
estimated, so be sure to look for
good buys on this item. You prob
ably won't find many frozen red
cherries in our local super
markets, but be sure to check
the frozen prepared foods such as
cherry pies, tarts and turnovers.
Canned cherries are also in good
supply, and prices will be below
those of last year. Look for the
jellied cherry sauce and the whole
cherry sauce; both are delicious
and bit different
Here is a New Years promise
given by the food specialists of the
U.S.D.A. that should make us all
happy. There will be 1923 eggs, Z
lbs of turkey, and 25 lbs of ready
to-cook frying chickens for every
man, woman and child in this
country in 1862. Better use of
feeds and new techniques in rails
ing birds is responsible for this
good news in increased production.
Here is news from the American
Meat Institute also-meat supplies
will be plentiful and shopping will
be simplified. More helpful infor-
nation will be included on pack
aged meats and many meat cuts
will be boneless or semi-boned.

Cracked Eggs Cost
Money, Agent Warns

Don't count your eggs before
they reach the market, warns VIM.
II. Henderson, county agent. Seven
percent of all eggs produced in
Delaware are cracked before they
reach retail outlets. Some of these
eggs are completely lost. Others
are sold at big discount.
Improper nesting facilities, over
filled gathering baskets, N f r e.
quent gatherings and rough hand
ling during cleaning. grading
packaging and transplanting pro-
cesSes cause most of the damage,
according to Henderson.
A new publication, sc
Eggs Are Costing You Money" by
Ray Lloyd, Extension Poultryman
at the University of Delaware, out
lines the steps to solve this prob
lem.
Included in Lloyds suggestions
on reducing egg breakage are: at
least one nest for each four lay
ers, collecting eggs four times a
day; and the use of plastic-coated
gathering baskets.

able from the county extension

With good care your cooking
utensils will last quite a long time.
Poor care will shorten the useful

Discolorations result from cooking
alkaline foods in the utensil. Many
of these discolorations can be re-
moved simply by cooking acid
foods in the pans. Wash the utensil
in hot sudsy water, rinse in clear
hot water and dry thoroughly. If
necessary, use a fine cleansing
powder for highly polished finish

pads for securing other aluminium
surfaces.
Copper requires regular care
since exposure to air and cooking

Public Schools and
Youth Employment

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Agnes E
Meyer, a grand woman who ha!
fought the good fight in many worth
while causes. made comment recent
ly that might jolt those in govern
ment who have decided it is safer
in an election year to defer action
on the question of federal aid to pub
lie schools.
Mrs. Meyer, who is chairman of
the National Committee for Support
of the Public Schools, is also trying
to get congressional action on the
Youth Employment Opportunities Act
of 1862. She related the questions of
education and joblessness.
81 should like to point out" she
said recently, "that if we have mil
lions of illiterate, unskilled young
people between the ages of 16 and
FL who are not only unemployed, but
unemployable without further train
ing, it is the inevitable penalty we
must pay for the neglect of our pub
lie school system.
Low educational level IS the
single most widespread character
istic among unemployed youth. 1t
is characteristic of 81 per cent of
low income families. In some urban
slums one half of all youths be-
tween 16 and FL are out of school
and unemployed. This is the result
of under-investment in public edu-
cation
Mrs. Meyers committee is not COM
mitted to any particular school aid
bill, nor even to federal aid. What
the committee does stress is that the
American public school system is

racy, American strength and Amer

WATCH ON THE POTOMAC


Since the u. S. and U. S. S. r. all
have satellites in space we seem to
have lost our sense of urgency about
the need to 'catch up'' with the Rus
slams.
Although such reasoning sometimes
spurs politicians into action I have
never been overly-impressed with it.
Regardless of what the Soviet Union
does we have our own needs to meet.
There are demands for federal aid
| to education because local taxes sim
ply cannot keep up with the growing
school requirements.
But there are other facts, too,
that the so-called hard-headed poll
ticians continue to neglect, at their
own peril.
For example, did you know that:
There are 81 million adult Amer
leans who have not completed high
school?
One-third of those who enroll in
high school drop out before gradua-
ton?
Half of our brightest youngsters
do not attend college?
Public school expenditures vary
as much as $948 per pupil in one
district down to $172 in another?
Teachers salaries are about half
of those in IL other professions with
similar training?
We are neglecting our own needs
simply because the current contro-
versy over the federal school aid bill
has paralyzed the politicians.
Right now the Soviet Union has
increased its spending per pupil to
$113 each, while the advanced u A
spends only $92 per capita.
If self-interest does not persuade
the politicians to get moving, perhaps
national pride will. If we were doing
better than the Russians at less cost,
that would be something of which to
boast. But not to be doing as we'll
is something of which a rich nation
like ours should be ashamed.
What the Agnes Meyer committee
is helping to do is to straighten out
our thinking on the public school
question and explain why we are
falling behind. Mrs. Meyer herself
noted recently that the U. S. Chamber
of Commerce published a report that
the productivity in each state bore a
direct relationship to it's per capita
investment in education.
Then the USCofC, welded to an
cient dogma, concluded that schools
must be entirely financed by local
taxes, which simply cannot meet the
needs. As Mrs. Meyer observed, "This
S very short-sighted point of view"
Indeed, it is.
