Convenience Foods
Have BUilt-In Service

Although maid service has long
since disappeared from most Am
erican households, the new. con-
venience foods actually have many
maid service" features, according
to Janet Coblentz, University o
Delaw ware extension nutrition
specialist.
Items available range from such
old standbys as bakery bread and
canned fruits and vegetables to
the new instant potatoes, canned
buttermilk biscuits, and COM
plete line of frozen dinners, ready
to heat and serve.
Convenience foods can save the
busy homemaker time and effort
as we'll as money in some cases.
Time is the biggest saving. T e
busy mother who needs an extra
hour to work on a civic project,
the young bachelor career man in
his first kitchenette, and senior
citizens all want good food, quick
ly, and with as little effort as pos
sible.
How much time can you save
by using these foods? One study
showed that three "ready-to-serve"
meals for a family of four can be
prepared in 1 hour. 10 minutes,
compared to hours 80 minutes
for the same foods prepared at
home So the ready-tO-Serve meals
saved over hours that could be
used in other ways.
Considering cost, the same study
showed that meals prepared at
home cost $490 while the ready-to-
serve meals cost $670. The home
maker worked over four hours to
save S1S0-an average wage of As
cents an hour.

cessing cost.
Convenience foods also can save
storage cost and space both at the
grocer's and in modern kitchens
In today's homes and apartments,
where price is figured by the cubic
foot, there is little room for the
old-time 100pound sack of flour
or sugar. But when combined in
a neatly packaged mix, these in
gradients earn their keep in any
family larder.
Quality is often another positive
factor in convenience foods. Fresh
fruit and vegetables, harvested in
their prime, for example, can be
kept in nutritious farm-fresh con-
dition with new scientific tech
niques not available in the home
kitchen The consumer can n W
enjoy these foods all year around
Miss Coblentz says.

Plant AzuIeus And
Rhododendrons Now

The blooms of aZaleaS and
rhodOdendrons can be like jewels
among your landscape paintings.
And assoc. county agricultural "a
gent Ed Ralph suggests adding a
few to your plan.
Even though many azaleas and
rhododendrons are sold while
blooming in the spring, it is bet
ter. to plant them while dormant
These plants grow best in climates
that are fairly mild and humid
They need a well-drained, C d
SOIL Delaware has the right eli
mate and in many areas, the right
soil for their growth.
You can grow azaleas and rhodo-
dendrOns successfully by follow
ing a few simple rules in planting
and caring for them. Buy species
or varieties that are two years
old and adapted to your area
Plant them in a well-drained, acid
soil high in organic matter. Set at
the same depth as they grew in
the nursery. Protect from drought
damage with a mulch and be sure
the plants get the equivalent of
one inch of rainfall every ten
days. Protect the plants from in
sect and disease attacks by being
alert for trouble signs.

Vegetables Plastic
Wrapped In The Field


Heads of lettuce wrapped in
plastic and stamped with a big red
Bud" have appeared in super
markets all over the country.
A Farm Quarterly report tells US
that Bud" is the nickname for
Lester V. Antle of Salinas, Cali
fOrniay who has built and is using
machine to wrap and seal head
lettuce and other vegetables and
fruits in the field
The machine consists of two i'm
mense booms, each seating six
girls. The bOOms are mounted on a
self-prOpelled trailer unit which
drives down the lettuce rows at a
bout half mile an hour. Hand
labor picks the lettuce, strips the
outer leaves, and passes the heads
to the girls on the machine.
They wrap each head in Trycite
plastic and seal by touching the
overlapping ends with a hot iron
The wrapped head moves on a belt
through a heat tunnel where it
hits 800 degree air for a few sec
onds. Under this heat the Trycite
shrinks around the head of lettuce
making trim coating. The lettuce
is then ready to pack in boxes for
shipping.
Wrapping protects vegetables
from examining hands before sale,
and the grocers like it because of
the convenience and reduced loss
es.
Mr. Ant1e will build to order or
rent machine. Cost of the ma
chimes varies from $4,000 o
$4,000.

Woody OrnomentoIs
Need Constant PrUninu

Shearing and clipping are good
practices to use on a French
poodle, but not on most ornamen-
tai plants, says Robert F. Stevens,
extension horticulturist with Uni
versity of Delaware
Although there are some ex-
ceptiOns such as hedges, pruning
of Ornamentals should pr erve
the natural shape of the shrub or
tree, rather than make it SYM
metrical. This is accomplished by
cutting back some of the branches;
removing dead, diseased, weak, and
broken branches; thinning out
over-crowded areas; and by re-
moving old branches of shrubs at
ground level. This is more time
consuming than shearing, but the
results improve Towering, beauty
and the general health of the plant
There is proper time of year
to prune each type of shrub or
tree to get good flowers and keep
the ornamental in good health:
Shade trees should be pruned right
now unless the buds have started
to swell greatly. Other plants that
may be pruned now or in early
spring include evergreens and late
Towering shrubs-t h t h a
bloom in late June, July and Aub-
ust. Early bloomers- those flower
ing in March, April, May and early
June-s h ou d be pruned i'm
mediately after Towering.
For more information on prun-
ing, contact your county agricul-
tural agent. He has leaflets on
pruning different type of plants.

Lime Helps Fertilizer
Work

If soils are too acid, lime will
help plant nutrients do a better
job of producing crops, reports
Asso. County Agent Ed Ralph.
He points out that the use of
lime encourages the use of ferti-
lize Crops, show a better response
to nutrients, with the result that
yields are higher.
These larger yields pull more
nutrients out of the soil'', Ralph
adds. This means that more, ra-
ther than less, fertilizer will be re-
quired in the soil management
program"
Here are some of the benefits
from lining, according to Ralph ::
l. Lime, where needed, eIp S
promote the growth and develop
ment of soil microbes. These mic
robes convert organic nitrogen to
the nitrate form which crops can
readily use.
2. Lining adds calcium an d
magnesium to the soil. 1t also
helps prevent the accumulation of
toxic amounts of aluminium, iron
and manganese.
3. Lime helps keep fertilizer
phosphate available to crops for a
longer period.
4. 1t improves soil structure by
promoting a granular, crumb-like
soil structure. Such a soil soaks
up more water and allows air to
move in and out more freely. It
also provides ''leg-room" for crop
roots.
5. Lime helps assure the grow
tn and vigor of alfalfa and other
legumes.
Test your soil right away so you
can see what your soils need in
regard to both lime and fertilizer,
Ralph urged.

taken to choose the right size to
complement and not hide h e
house. For most modern one-story
and split-level homes, the small
Towering trees like dogwood, flow
ering crabapple, and similar
species are suitable.
A general rule of good land
scaping, for those who are in a
position to choose their own trees,
is to plant trees that will frame
the house, giving it an air of
spaciousness and stability. In
choosing trees for this purpose
consider the angle and place from
which the house is most likely to
be seen. Usually, this is from the
view of the approaching visitor or
passerby. Then plan your trees SO

Frame Your Home
With Shade Trees

Trees are probably the most i'm
portant feature in providing an at
tractive setting for your home.
If possible, limit the use of large
shade trees to the back or sides of
your house, suggests George
Vapaa, Kent County agent In these
locations, they will provide an at
tractive frame and backdrop and
your house will occupy the center
of attention from the street
Large trees are especially useful
behind rambling, modern homes to
soften harsh roof lines, says Mr.
Vapaa. In planting trees in front
of the building line, care should be
Milford chronicle., 1962-03-16

be simple and uncluttered, and the
surrounding trees will balance and
frame the building:
Established nurserymen in your
area can give valuable advice "a
bout the best species to plan
where you live, their ultimate size
and shape, and the best positions
on your property to obtain the eff
feet you want.
For hOmeOwnerS who would like
to improve the appearance Of n

overcome by removing some trees

KouI Unlikely to Seek
New Term, Friends Say

Ralph Kaul has decided not
to seek reelection to the Ar
lington County Board next year.
He has not excluded the
possibility of returning actively
to politics later, but confided
to friends several days ago that
he is virtually certain to with
draw from public office at least
temporarily when his present
term expires.
Seats now occupied by him
and Board Chairman Earnest
Wilt will be at issue in the
1868 elections.
Mr.. Kaul, Democratic con-
; gresSional candidate in 1860
and a founder of the coalition
Arlingtonians for a Better
County, has been a principal
participant in some of Northern
Virginia's political fights of
recent years.
Bitter Campaign Recalled
His election and that of the
late David Krupsaw in 1855
{ marked the first return of non
partisan representatives to the
board after conservatives sue
ceeded in ousting three liberals
several years earlier by invok.
ing an old State statute for
bidding Federal employees tc
hold elective office in Virginia
counties.
In a bitter 1857 campaign
= during which county residents
fought about whether schools
Evening star., 1962-11-22

should be closed to prevent de-
segregation, Mr.. Kaul managed
the campaign of Herbert L.
Brown, whose victory gave the
ABC a majority which it still
maintains on the board.
However, when Mr.. Kaul
stepped out of the ABC to run
! for Congress as a Democrat,
he and Mr.. Brown became
political enemies. The clash
between them shattered many
personal as well as political
long-standing friendships with
in the ABC and eventually re-
suited in both of them quit
ting the coalition.
Now a Land Developer
After a career in Government
during which he rose from the
lowest to the highest grade in
a little more than a dozen
years, Mr.. Kaul became a land
developer. In addition to en-
terpriSes in the Washington
area, he now has business ven-
lures in the Southwest, South
America and Spain.
Efforts already are being
made to induce Mr.. Wilt and
Mr.. Brown, who retired from
the board last year, to form
an Independent ticket for the
next election.
Members of all three Arling-
ton political factions have
expressed belief that if the two
are persuaded to run together
they will have no opposition.
