Cooper Home Demonstration Agent It can be great convenience to the homern aker to freeze cooked or prepared foods. However, with some foods it's easier and quicker to start from the be ginning than to thaw and reheat the frozen prodect. Remember when freezing cooked or pre pared foods: 1. The storage period for most frozen cooked foods is relatively short. 2. In most instances, no special recipes are necessary in preparing cooked foods for ireezin , just use a standard recipe or your favorite. 3. The actual cooking pro cess should be as short as possible because the additional cookirv during preheating for serving may result in soft tex tures and loss of flavors or "warned over" flavors. 4. Quick cooling is very important as this will stop the cooking and help retain the natural flavor, color and tex ture of the product. It will also retard the growth of bac teria that may cuase spoilage. %. Package air tight in moisture-vapor proof packag ing materials. 6. Quick freeze and store at zero degrees. 7, Use within the recom mended storage period. As you take out some of the foods you froze this summer, why not use the space to store some pre-cooked foods? * * * You can select chicken for quality even though it is cut up and packaged. To select a suit able young bird, look for a plump body with a well-fleshed breast and thighs; clean, thin skin free from abrasions, bruises and pinfeathers; fat well distributed under the skin giving it a light yellow cast, and a breastbone with a flexible carti lage tip. An older chicken of top cali ber lias similar characteristics but it usually has more fat, a firmer breastbone and a thick er skin than does the young bird.

Reddish County Agent A questionnaire was sent out to randomly selected farmers in 23 Georgia counties that parti cipated in the 1960-61 Soil Ferti lity Program. A total of 414 farmers returned the question naires. Results of the survey indicate the following: 1. The majority of farmers are following lime recom mendations but are not follow ing fertilizer recommenda tions. This would indicate we need to intensify our educa tional efforts” towards helping farmers interpret soil test fertilizer recommendations and NOTICE TO TAX PAYERS The Tax Books are now open for collecting State, County and County School Taxes. Your promptness in paying same will be sin cerely appreciated. Respectfully Yours To Serve C. H. ADAMS TAX COMMISSIONER Taylor County Georgia the importance of follwoing them. 2. In terms of dollar value, following fertilizer arecom- mendations was profitable on all crops when compared to the in come of farmers who used less fertilizer than recommended. Following lime recommenda tions was also profitable on crops where comparisons could be made. 3. Apparently, farmers are following phosphate and potash recommendations to a greater extent than nitrogen recom mendations. In light of this, educational efforts should be increased towards convincing farmers that it pays to follow nitrogen side and top dressing recommendations. 4. The great majority of farmers (98%) said that soil testing was of value in their farm operation. This sub stantiates the soundness of our soil testing program and indi cates that farmers have confi dence in the results of soil analysis and lime and fertili zer recommendations. 5. Results of this survey show that goals can be realized if farmers will have their soils tested and follow through on the lime and fertilizer recom mendations, as well as other recommended agronomic prac tices. The Georgia Department of Agriculture today issued a warning to all farmers to view with caution and mistrust any free lance, so called "agricul tural engineer" or “soil and fertilizer expert” who is trying to sell outlandish new ideas that have not and cannot be backed by state or federal analysis. The Department of Agricul ture has received numerous calls from south and middle Georgia stating that a man, re portedly with offices in Florida, is duping the farmers in that area with outragious and un founded claims of "new space- age" fertilizer and soil recom mendations. Although his primary target seems to be fruit and nut farmers, he is not limiting him self to any particular group. The Department of Agricul ture warns all Georgia farmers to beware of any fast operator with claims of working miracles for his crops. State officials have checked liis claims and find no foundation for his recom mendations and that theycannot be substantiated. Agricultural officials further request that if farmers are ap proached by any so called “agricultural engineer"whose claims have not been supported by state research, they should check with their county agent or report directly to the State Department of Agriculture. BEAUTY Cuticle Care Well cared for cuticle is two- thirds of nail beauty. A warm oil treatment does almost mi raculous things to smooth them. Heat olive oil in a small metal bowl over hot water or a candle warmer. When warm dip the nails for a moment or two. Place hands on a clean towel and gently push back the cuticle with a cotton tipped orange stick. Shape the bases at this time if you’re not pleased with your nails outlines, and by persistence you can lengthen your nails and make them more like the perfect oval. Then lift the cuticle very gently and run the orange stick under it, all around the nail. Badly neglected cuticle may need a cuticle remover after the oil treatment. If so, follow directions on the bottle of remover. Repeat the oil treatment as often as you like. Daily is not too much if nails are in bad condition. Toes will benefit from this same care. A loaf pan is the right size for dipping toes and it’s best to do it after a bath. Capping Rites At Ga. Southwestern Georgia Southwestern Col lege was the scene of a re cent impressive capping cere mony in which Miss Sandra Gentry of Reynolds received the cap bestowed upon student nurses, successfully com pleting their first year of the three-year nursing program. President Moll gave the in vocation. Parents, relatives and friends of the students were welcomed by Miss Florence Bridges, Instructor of Nursing Education. The Reverend Harry Moore, introduced by President Moll, gave an inspiring address, The Benediction "The Lord’s Prayer,” was sung by Mrs. Shirley Shell, In structor of Nursing Education, accompanied by Miss Rossie Andrews. After all were capped the Nightingale Lamps were lighted by Hollis King of Reynolds, the only male student in the group. Then the students recited the Nightingale Pledge led by Miss Ruby Alston, Instructor in Sur- ger>.

She rushed to his room to find him with talcum powder in his mouth, breathing heavily and coughing. An open can of tal cum powder was beside him. She rushed him to the hospital. In spite of everything the doctors could do, Johnny died the next day. Cause of death was massive inhalation of tal— cul powder. The average household is crammed with potentially death-dealing powders, pills, and liquids. Of the S22.000 poison casualties every year, two-thirds are chirdren under five. The under-five years are ones when the youngster is de veloping inierest in the enviro- ment and everything in it. He works hard to get into every thing and much of what he hand les goes into his mount. All in the spirit of exploration. He will open even tightly-fitting doors on kitchen and bathroom cabinets, unless they’re kept locked. He will climb onachair or table to get at something that is out of his reach. He will spend hours working at the cap on a pill bottle until he has it open. Out of baby's reach probably means out of your reach too. But it's better to have the in convenience of climbing on a chair or stepstool yourself than to let baby get into something that will harm him.Anything that can’t go very high up should be locked up. These precautions may seem like a fearful nuisance, but they can save your child’s life. DRIVING ONE CAR NEED TO SEND MONEY IN THE MAIL? DRIVE IN ONE LANE Don't Risk Mailing It.
