I NEWSPAPERS SERVE EVERYONE I IN SO MANY SPECIAL WAYS I BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Broiler-Fryers Wise Food Buy Broiler-fryers are now in good supply and they may be used in a variety of dishes to perk-up draggy summer appetites. Broiler-fryers are an economical choice for southeastern home makers, says the Consumer and Marketing Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. One of their advantages is that they go equally well in hot or cold main dishes, which makes them particularly popular for the sea son. The Consumer and Marketing Service suggests that you take advantage of the warm weather and the good supply of broiler fryers and enjoy them often, cook ed outdoors, since chicken is a favorite for broiling or barbecu ing. Charcoal — the fuel generally used — makes a hot fire. Space coals so no two coals touch. Be sure broiler racks are the right distance — 6 to 8 inches — from the embers, for an even heat with out too much intensity. If poul try gets too hot, raise grill away from heat. Poultry tastes best when broiled over hot coals, not in flame or smoke. Chicken is usually halved or quartered for outdoor broiling. Brush poultry with melted butter or margarine or your favorite bar becue sauce. Broil, turning occa sionally, 1 to 1% hours, the time dependng on the size and thick ness of the pieces. Baste occasion ally. Whole chickens can be cooked on special rotisserie equipment that turns the meat slowly on a rotary spit over or under direct heat. Rotisseries vary greatly, so it is best to follow the directions that come with the equipment. Be sure to balance and mount the whole bird or pieces before start ing the rotary spit. See that poul try does not slip as spit turns. To mount a whole bird, attack the neck skin with a skewer to the back of the body. Tie or skew er wings close to the body. Insert the spit through the length of the body and tighten holding prongs. Tie tail and drumsticks firmly to the rod. If properly balanced, the bird should rotate evenly when the spit is turned. More than one bird can be roasted at a time if the spit is long enough. Mount birds in op posite direction to maintain bal ance on the spit. The perfect accompaniment for chicken cooked outdoors is a salad made of plentiful seasonal vege tables. This could include lettuce, tomatoes, bell pepper strips, onion (chopped or rings), carrots, rad ishes, and celery. 152 Inspectors Grade Tobacco The auctioneer’s chant is again heard as flue-cured tobacco mar kets in Geirgia and Florida con duct sales of the 1966 crop. Working ahead of the auction eers is a team of 152 tobacco inspectors of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture’s Consumer and Marketing Service. It is the job of a USDA inspector to exa mine each lot, or basket, of to bacco shortly before a tobacco sales starts. The inspector grades the tobac co according to official U. S. standard. He enters the grade, date, and his initials on the bas ket ticket. This then becomes the certificate of grade for that lot of tobacco. Official grades for flue-cured to bacco this season will be the same as last season, according to Cur tis H. Dale, flue-cured district supervisor of the Consumer and Marketing Service’s Tobacco Divi sion at Raleigh, N. C. Under the Tobacco Inspection Act — passed by Congress in 1935 — growers of flue-cured to bacco first began using the USDA inspection service in 1936, Dale said. By 1940, the service had spread to more than a third of the auction markets in the flue-cured area that extends from Virginia through the Carolinas and Georgia into northern Florida. In May 1942, a general referen dum was held and passed for the remaining markets, but qualified inspectors were not available for all of the markets until the 1946 season. Beginning that season, all flue-cured markets in the five states had USDA’s free and man datory inspection service. In addition to the free inspection service, Dale said the Consumer and Marketing Service provides two closely related services under the Tobacco Inspection Act. One is the market news service and the other consists of demonstrations for farmers on the bast way to prepare their tobacco for market. The market news service. Dale said, enables growers and others to keep currenty informed on to bacco marketing, including prices grade. Summer Annuals In Narrow Rows Make Top Yields Georgia farmers interested in growing summer annuals for forage can get highest yields by planting these grass es in narrow — 6 to 12 inch — rows. This is brought out in results of tests recently re ported by Research Agronom ists D. G. Cummins and R. E. Burns of the University of Georgia College of Agricul ture’s Georgia Experiment Station near Griffin, To determine the best row spacings for Gahi-1 pearl mil let, Suhi-1 sudan-grass, and DeKalb Sudax (SX11) sorg hum x sudangrass, Cummins and Burns planted these crops in 12-, 24-, and 36-inch rows in 1964 and in 6-, 12-, 24-, and 36-inch rows in 1965. There was little difference between yields of the 6- and 12-inch plantings, but these narrow row plantings pro duced more forage than the plantings in wider rows. The 6- and 12-inch row plots pro duced more forage per acre than did the 36-inch row plots in every case. All plots in these tests were fertilized with 500 pounds per acre of a 6-12-12 at planting and with 100 pounds of nitro gen per acre after the first harvest. Plots were cultivated once for weed control in ear ly stages of growth. Grasses were harvested when plants reached a height of 36 inches. Cummins and Burns named three factors which probably contributed to the top per formance of the narrow row plantings: (1) narrow rows gave more efficient shading for weed control; (2) the greater root distribution of plants in narrow rows made better use of available soil moisture and nutrients, and (3) the narrow row plantings formed a closer leaf canopy to intercept sun light. The research agronomists pointed out that, on the basis of test results, planting in 12- rather than 6- inch rows pro bably would be best for graz ing as cattle would tend to follow the rows and thus cause less loss due to trampling of plants. TOUCH OF MINT To add a delicious touch to roast meats, prepare and serve some mint apple jelly with them. Extension Service home economists tell how to make the jelly. Steep one cup of mint leaves in one cup of boil ing water for one hour. Next press the juice from the leaves, add two tablespoons of the ex tract to each cup of apple juice, and then cook the jelly. COOKING MEAT Meat should be cooked as soon as it is defrosted, advises Miss Nelle Thrash, Extension Service home economist — food preservation. She says this is particularly true when the meat has been defrosted at room temperature. As for cooking defrosted meat, use the same methods recom mended for meats that have never been frozen.

The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, August 11, 1966 PRACTICAL FAMILY LIVING What would your answer be if someone asked you what the term “solid state” means? Some possible replies are “nothing” or “something that is frozen solid” or “a radio or phonograph that comes on instantly.” The latter is an example of the use of solid state achieved by us ing transistors instead of tubes. There is another meaning, however, that should have deeper impact on the home maker for a growing num ber of appliances fall into state category. They include blenders, mixers, hair dry ers and knives to mentions a few. The use of solid state components is not new. Bat tery operated clocks and chargers for knives, portable mixers and toothbrushes have been on the market for some time. More recent ly several manufacturers have introduced solid state controls for mixers, blenders and hair dryers. Just what is solid state? The simplest way to say it is that solid state controls makes it possible to control A SACRED CHARGE I * THE PEOPLE on our staff all have M families of their own.

WILLIS, AGENT NAHUNTA, GEORGIA electricity without moving parts. What does it mean to you as a consumer? For one thing, the lack of moving parts is almost sure to mean fewer service problems, less maintenance and overall eco nomy. An appliance that uses solid state controls offers an almost infinite range of speeds. In addition, the pow er at any and every setting remains constant. Think what this can mean to a consum er in getting the maximum use from an appliance. For example, the heaviest mix tures don’t slow the solid state mixer or blender. The use of solid state components is not limited to housewares. One washer with solid state controls is already on the market. Oth ers in the major appliance field are sure to follow. — Doris Oglesby, Home Eco nomist-Housing and Equip ment, Cooperative Extension Service, University of Geor gia.
