County Agent Tells
Abou Poisonous Plants

Poisonous plants are taking their
toll of livestock annually in Della
ware, reports County Agent VIM.
H. Henderson. He says that about
$50 plants cause internal poisoning
to livestock when eaten. Most of
them are dangerous throughout the
year, although some are seasonal
hazards in particular.
With few exceptions, grazing ami
mails will not eat poisonous plants
unless forced to by a lack of good
forage, he says. This situation oc-
ours mostly in early spring, late
fall or winter, and during periods
of drought. 1t can be remedied by
providing an adequate supply o f
forage for livestock, Henderson re-
ports.
Don't let your livestock Craze
near dumps where poisons may
have been discarded. Hedge clip
pings or garden refuse may be ex-
tremely dangerous also.
Keep animals away from plowed
fields, eroded ground or new ditch
es. These areas may have exposed
roots which are sometimes poison
Gus. Some poisoning may occur
from algae in waterholes.
Frequently, poisonous plants are
found growing around buildings or
fences. Many times cattle will
Craze Through fences when the best
pasture is right under their feet
Maybe they require variety in
their diet. However. this could be
an expensive one, Henderson says.

Turkey Is Space Age
Meuf Treat For All

Although many people associate
turkey with pioneer America d
think of it only as a holiday meat,
turkey is an ideal space-age food,
according ITO Miss Janet Coblentz,
nutrition specialist for the Univer-
sity of Delaware extension service.
Bred for am abundance of juicy,
tender, lean meat, turkey adapts to
the wide variety of cooking meth
DDS practiced by modern Americas
nutrition-conscious homemakerS.
If your family prefers a roasted
bird, todayis turkey will be as del
ectable as amy Grandmother ever
roasted and will require less time
to prepare and serve. Or, if your
family likes to cook food on a
rotisserie or outdoor grill, turkeys
just the thing.
Turkey left overs will provide
snacks later in the day, too Chill
dren can prepare their own turkey
sandwiches for supper after h e
meat is sliced for them. Teenage
cooks can serve the family cold
sliced turkey with deviIed eggs and
sliced tomatoes.
The daughter of the house can
show off her culinary talents and
give Nom holiday" by making
Turkey Divan. Tender, juicy slices
of white or dark meat are nestled
between fre s h, green broccoli
spears and a rich Cheddar cheese
sauce.
Buying a large bird for. roasting
assures many double feature
treats for the future. To freeze
leftover turkey, remove all the
stuffing and cut the turkey into
meal size servings; wrap in mois-
ture, vapor-proof wrap and freeze
promptly. Diced turkey in h e
freezer lis all ready for turkey sal
ad; Sliced turkey for Turkey Divan
or sandwiches.

The 34-year-old prima donna was
greeted with stamping, yelling,
whistling and chanting 2O-minute ova-
ton during the IA curtain calls.
The man Miss Sutherland credits
most for her triumph is concert pi-
anist, Richard Bonynge, her husband,
who persuaded her to reach out and
beyond the limits of the dramatic So
prano roles she would be singing at
her home opera house, London's
Covent Garden.
''It was Richard who taught me how
to use my voice." Miss Sutherland
says.
He steered her toward the neglected
opera works of the early 10Th Century.
Covent Garden, which hasn't pro-
duced Lucia for "a years, revived
it for Miss Sutherland. The rest is

HE HE greatest ovation in the
w. history of the Metropoli-
tan Opera was given
Australia-born Joan Sutherland when
she made her debut last November
singing the lead in Donizetti's Lucia
di Lammermoor.
On the Bell Telephone Hour" Fri
day night on NBC, Miss Sutherland
repeats Lucia's aria from the Mad
Scene"-the most taxing coloratura
aria in the entire opera repertoire
which inspired the memorable ova-
ton.
Neither the great Maria Callas,
Birgit Nilsson nor Leontyne Price, all
of whom won great acclaim in their
Met appearances, received the stun
ming ovation given Miss Sutherland.
The famous mad scene was inter-
rupted with a five-minute ovation.
