THE WAH-WAH PLOW of In
dia was cited at our annual ex-
tension service conference In
Newark.
Very briefly, this was simply
an improved version of the
forked stick pulled by a bullock.
A square metal plate was bent,
and TWO holes we're drilled so
that the plate could be held on
the bent stick with a bolt.
So much more work could
be done that the Indians would
shout "Wah-Wah", their YER
sion of "Oh boy", or "Looky
there"
We we're talking about the
problems of changing old cul-
lures. 1t seems that one of the
beliefs in India has been that
nature should not be disturbed.
The idea is taken SO literally
that the COW Is sacred animal,
free to wander at will.
We still have people here in
the United States who write that

Attention To
In Childhood

AS adult America concen-
trates on slimming down for
health and beauty, more and
more attention is being paid to
the prevention of overweight
from childhood on.
Obesity does run in families
but it is not necessarily inher-
tied.
Many families serve rich food
often and concentrate most fam
lily activity around eating. In
other families, children are
subtly or overtly encouraged to
avoid trough play" and exer-
else and contactwith other chill :
dren.
Recent studies indicate that
underexercise plays a much
more significant role in youth
full overweight than had been
believed. Many overweight chill :
dren actually eat less than chill :
dren of normal weight, but tend
to prefer such sedentary and
solitary occupations as reading
or watching television to active
play.
Glandular imbalance is no
excuse for most chubbiness, ac-
cording to nutritionists. One
recent study indicates that
hypothyroid children actually
tended to be underweight.
The influence of the home
assumes extra significance
when we realize that eating and
exercise habits formed in child
hood carry over into adult life.
Fat children are much more
likely to become fat adults than
are children of normal weight.
Comparatively few fat adults
were not overweight in child
hood.
Again pointing at the home,
another study found that when
both parents were of normal
weight, 10 per cent of children
were overweight. The percent
age jumped to so when one
parent was overweight and to
80 when both parents we're O.
bese.
It's no advantage to be over
weight. In addition to bearing

CLASSIFICATION OF HERDS
FOR TYPE is being activel,
pushed by the major dairy
breeds. Holstein breeders in
Delaware can have an official
inspector score their animals
sometime in February.
The body conformation of the
breeders dairy animals will be
measured against the theo-
retical perfection of the true
type Holstein by the clas sifer.
The procedure makes it poss-
ible for the breeder to weigh
weaknesses and strong points
of each COW in the herd. This
guide together with production
records, provides a basis for
selecting the better animals.
Your county agent was taken
to task recently for saying that
beauty is only skindeep with
dairy cows. don't know what
kind of storm might have de-
veloped had l failed to limit
the statement to cows.
The Mona Lisa of the bovine
world, exists only In the minds
of breeders. She is not real
yet. Admittedly, some claims
approach perfection. There are
official true-type portraits and
scale models for the ideal COW
and bull.
Type is what all the COW con-
tests are about. Excellent type
animals generally work out
as the best producers. Serious
faults limit the value of the COW
as milk producer.
Very briefly, a good COW has
scale or body capacity, rel
atively serene feminine dairy
character, strong legs and a
large milky udder. These things
take practice to evaluate i'm
partially which is why breeders
use the official breed classifer.

Keeps Food
To Two Years
BY

w. T. McAllister
Farm Management Specialist
University of Delaware

Perishable food products can
now be stored at room temper
atures up to TWO years without
refrigeration due to a preserv-
ing process called freeze
drying.
Though drying is perhaps the
Oldest system of preserving
food, the results of early eff
forts we're not very appealing
until this new process was de-
veloped.
In fact, promoters of freeze
drying claim that foods can be
restored to very closely their
normal appearance and taste by
simply rehydrating or replacing
water originally removed In the
drying process.
Freeze-dried foods now on
the market include beef cubes
and beef steaks, ham, ham
burger, pork shops, chicken,
eggs. crab. shrimp, asparagus,
green beans, peas and mush-
rooms. All are perishable pro-
ducts and normally require re-
frigeration. The foods are seal
ed in packages so that oxygen
and moisture is excluded.
In addition to the refrigeration
advantage, the new process al
lows a tremendous reduction of
weight and bulk in shipping. The
process removes water which
makes up about 90 per cent of
the weight of most food items.
For example: 100 pounds of
fresh and boned chickens
weighs only 29 pounds when
dried. and 100 pounds of mush-
rooms are reduced to II pounds.
The Armed Forces sees In
the process an opportunity to
supply troops In the field with
good tasting rations without
the problems of refrigeration
and weight. Large quantities
could be stockpiled in limited
space for emergency civil de-
tense use. World markets could
be expanded since refrigeration
is practically unknown in many
parts of the world. Use by
space travellers is certainly
another advantage.
The process also has several
disadvantages. In their dried
form they do not look very ap-
pealing. However, natural COL
or. odor and appearance returns
when reconstructed with water.
This should not be confused with
the dried food process common
during World War IL.
In addition, the process Is
still costly. Because the pro-
cess is new and the market still
limited. processing plants and
facilities are small and inef-
ficient. If the demand for
freeze-dried food grows, costs
can be reduced substantially.
Those working on the process
are confident that the idea will
catch on and make a major
contribution to the marketing
of farm products.
