THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1940. Jackson County Home Demonstration News (By Elsie ' Bowman) Each year the industrious 4-H Club members participate in special Club projects. The following gives the high lights of the projects achievements of Juanita Potter, a 4-11 Club member from Juckson Trail, who is completing her sixth year of Club work. Juanita will re ceive again this year the . County medal for the best all around Club work. Club stories of other outstanding members will be given from time to time. MY 4-H PROJECT ACHIEVE MENTS When I started out in 4-H Club work I didn’t realize what it was to mean to me later. After six years of 4-H work, I now know the value of it. The first two years I just worked some now and then, the last four years were different. I came to realize that I would have to real ly work instead of doing some work then stopping if I got anywhere. I only wish I could tell each boy and each girl who has started out in 4- H Clubs, to start building up a re cord and working from the very be ginning. I wish 1 could tell them that we are America’s coming gen eration, and that 4-H is preparing us, so that we may fill the place bet ter. The first year I*carried out such projects as chickens, a calf and a garden. I started that year a small orchard in which I set out a few peach, pear and apple trees and a few grape vines and three pecan trees. I planted just a very small garden. I sowed the seed my Moth er and Daddy gave me which weren’t so many, and I cultivated it (ex cept plowing.) My Daddy gave me a calf and my mother gave me the eggs to set from which my few chickens wore hatch ed. I raised them and kept the pullets. That year I was just be ginning to sew and the only things I made was an apron and cap. I knew how to cook, though, for I had to fix my school lunches. Then my mother was sick part of the time and that was my first real experience at cooking. That fall after I had sold a few products from my garden, and sold a few chickens and eggs, I received about seven dollars. I kept my calf for I wanted to raise another calf. I increased my orchard which was not yet bearing. The second year I still had the 5332:. Tlints for the " PpP §pls Household EGG AND CHEESE DISHES Because they are light and deli cate in flavor egg and cheese dishes are particularly palatable. There are many ways of preparing these foods—alone, or in combination. Try some of these new stunts and see if the family doesn’t respond. tt t t POACHED EGGS IN RICE NESTS 1 cup raw rice. 1 tablespoon salt. 1-3 cup butter. 1- cup flour. 3 cups milk. 1 1-2 cups grated cheese. 2- cup sliced stuffed olives. Salt and pepper. 8 eggs. Pour rice in strainer and rinse well under cold water before cook ing. Add salt to about 3 quarts of water. When it boils rapidly add rice and cook until tender but not mushy. Drain in colander when done and pour boiling water over the rice to *inse out starchy water. Put the strainer of rice over the pan in which it was cooked and cover with a clean dry towel and then the lid of the pan. The rice will keep hot and fluffy this way for about 10 minutes. While the rice is cooking make the sauce; melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Blend in flower until smooth and bubbly. Re move from heat. Add grated cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add sliced olives last. Poach eggs. Make a nest of rice on each plate. Place a poached egg in each nest. Sprinkle salt and pepper over each egg and pour the sauce over all. tt t t EGGS IN BREAD ROUNDS 4 slices bread. 4 tablespoons butter. 4 eggs. Salt, pepper. Bacon. Cut slices of bread in large heifer, chickens, and orchard. That year, I raised about thirty-five chick ens from my hens. I kept the pul lets and sold the roosters. I had a larger garden plot; I bought the seed and increased the number of vegeta bles in my garden. I used for my fertilizer, compost, so the fertilizer cost very little. That same year I made a dress and entered the Style Revue. I also began making simple things for myself. I liked to cook and began cooking meals by myself so that my mother would have time to uo something else. That fall I sold the heifer. That year my total sales from heifer, garden, chickens, and eggs were twenty-five dollars. In the third year I kept my same project but I had increased them all to a larger scale That year I sold all of my old hens and kept the young pullets. With the money, I bought a hundred small chicks and raised seventy-eight of them; selling the roosters. In my garden I planted more of each kind of vegetables and planted new kinds. I had a small calf to be raised also. My orchard began bear ing and that summer I canned, and helped my mother can. Together we canned around three hundred quarts. I entered the Style Revue again that year, and by then I could make al most all of my clothes. In cooking I prepared meals three to four times a week. I began to learn how to make light bread which was something new and fascinating to me. That fall from my garden, chickens and eggs ( received around eighteen dollars, this year I did not sell a calf. From this money, I bought my school sup plies and clothes. The fourth year I kept raising chickens, and selling them. I had a larger garden and I bought the ferti lizer I put <sn it with money I had saved from the previous years, I canned one hundred fifty cans from my orchard that year, and I entered the Ball canning contest. I entered the Style Revue again that year and won third place. By that time I had taken complete con trol of my wardrobe and did all of my sewing. Cooking had by that time become one of my part time jobs. That fall after selling my usual garden products, chickens and eggs, I received twenty-eight dollars. I kept the heifer I had the year be fore. That same year I was one of the five girls out of my county who went to the Southeastern Fair. The fifth year I added anew pro ject to my old ones. My Daddy gave me a gilt that yeai\ I raised a litter of pigs and received twenty dollars rounds. With a small cutter remove center, leaving 2 1-2 inch rim. Brown one side of bread in butter in skillet. Turn. Drop egg in cen ter of each round. Cook until eggs are set. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Cut hard-cooked eggs in thick slices. Cut slices of toast in half, diagonally. Put slices of egg on the toast and pour a generous amount of sauce over each portion. ft t t CHEESE CASSEROLE 12 slices day old bread. 1-3 cup margarine. 2 cups grated American cheese. 3 cups milk. 3 eggs, slightly beaten. 1-2 teaspoon salt. 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce. Paprika. Spread slices of bread with butter or margarine. Place a layer of 6 slices in a large, shallow greased baking dish and sprinkle heavily with grated cheese. Repeat process, making 2 layers. Combine beaten eggs with milk, salt and Worcester shire sauce and pour over bread and cheese. Sprinkle with paprika.

Salt, pepper. 1-2 cup sour cream. 1-4 cup dry crumbs. Halve eggs lengthwise. Remove THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA for them. I kept my garden as a project, but on a larger scale, than ever before. I sold my old hens and bought small chicks, which I rawed and sold. I canned two hundred quarts that year and again entered the Ball Canning Contest. I won first place and received one dollar. I entered the Style Revue and again won third place. I learned übout the Food Preparation contest and I like to cook, so I entered it and won second place. That year I won the general excellence medal, which was given by the county. That fall from all of my projects I receiv ed forty-five dollars. That same year I was chosen to represent my county at the Leadership conference held at Athens, Georgia. This year ngain I sold a litter of pigs, getting twenty-five dollars for them. I still have my old garden spot and I have entered a garden contest. 1 bought one hundred more chicks this year and sold them. From my orchard I have canned two hundred and fifty quarts. I have again entered the Ball canning con test. I entered the Style Revue and again won second place. Through cooking I have learned many things which are useful to my home and me, so Food Preparation has become one of my main projects. I entered the bread contest and won third place. From my projects this year I have received about one hundred fifty-five dollars. I have a small calf to sell and I have a cotton patch which is one acre. The fertiliser was given to me, through a fertilizer dealer citizen of Jackson County. I am now a junior in high school and about all the money I have earn ed is kept in the bank to help with college expenses later. I have carried on a wildlife pro ject for two years and this year I won a free trip to the State Wildlife camp. For my project in Wildlife I carried, fish, soil and water, quail, star study, insects, flowers, trees, shrubs, and vines. I have a fish pond in which I raise fish. I turn these fish loose in the streams around my home. I keep the streams clean ed out so that the fish might thrive better. I have catfish, brim, and some channel cats in the pond. I have made three scrapbooks on flowers, insects, trees and shrubs, birds, soils and water, fish and stars. I have planted quail coverage on the run down soil on our land. I have stopped up the gullies and I have helped make terraces. I have also set out twenty-five small pines on run down land. I have planted wheat, rye, barley, and oats for quail yolks, mash.

I have had our land posted as one means of protecting wildlife on our farm. I planned, cooked and served all the meals at our home without help for one week. The menus were made out and checked ahead of time. It was my aim to get the food requirements each day, and to be able to serve foods that were whole some, tasty, and attractive. Each days menu included milk, fruits, vegetables, and a whole grain cereal, eggs, bread, meats and an adequate amount of sweets. I spent only 50c that week for my meals as the foods used were home grown. Mrs. John N. Williamson Dies in Anniston, Ala. Mrs. John N.

DANGEROUS SLEEP Motorists who continue to drive, although aware they are apt to fall asleep at the wheel can be found guilty of gross negligence, according to a recent ruling of the full bench of Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. In rendering its decision the court said: Without undertaking to lay down a rule that falling asleep is always evidence of gross negligence, at least it may be said that the danger of driving while heavy with drowsiness is so extreme and so self-evident that one who, with knowledge that he is in that condition, persists in driving without making the neces sary effort to arouse himself, can be grossly negligent. The court sustained a verdict against a Bristol County motorist who fell asleep while driving, in juring his father, mother, sister and brother-in-law. J. FOSTER ECKLES INSURANCE Jefferson, Georgia PAGE THREE. BIRDS AGAIN WING SOUTHWARD; JUST WHY, NONE KNOWS An army without banners is drift ing south across the face of Ameri ca, in full retreat. It is the nrmy of birds, on fall migration. Unlike the gay legions that flew north in spring, it lacks song and is uniformed in dull colors that gain hardly more than passing notice except from tuners scanning the skies for ducks. Ducks of course are but a small portion of the whole. Most of the robins that chorused in the spring, most of the bluebirds that caused village poets to break into print, steal South unnoticed. The army is in retreat, but from what? No one knows for certain. The obvious answer that it is fleeing cold weather does not quito hold water. Witness the occasional bird that stays in the North because it has been held up by sickness un til after its migratory urge has pass ed. And then, of course, many species make a habit of remaining in the North. This is only one of the paradoxes that have puzzled students and led to tall stories. The real enigams are only repeat ing groat racial movements dictated in ancient times by the advance and retreat of the glacial ice cap. In any event, the depletion of food sup plies up North during the winter is an important consideration. Once launched on their journey the birds follow different paths and different time schedules. Land-bound naturalists used to gaze aloft in awe and estimate bird speeds at fabulous figures. Today they know that ducks and geese rare ly hit 60, that a woodcock may throt tle down to five miles an hour. But there is still room for fable. It’s pretty well authenticated that duck hawks stooping to their prey hit it up to 165 miles an hour and that the cloud swifts of the West In dies reach speeds of 150 miles. Even more marvelous are some of the distance flights. The golden plover, now a rarity, hops off from Nova Scotia and next sees land in South America, 2,400 miles away. The Carolina rail, which would rath er walk, easily flies across the Carib bean. Champion migrant of all is the Arctic tern which enjoys more dav light than any other living creature. It spends summers as far North as there is land. Then crossing the Atlantic via Iceland to Europe, it goes to the Antarctic 11,000 miles away for the summer. How does it find its way? No one knows.
