National 4-H Week
Newton County 4-H Clubs
took part in the observance of
National 4-H Week last week.
We have 468 boys and girls in
Newton County who are mem
bers of this hugh youth or
ganization.
Georgia’s 4-H Clubs — which
had its humble beginning in
1905 — has now grown to al
most 149-thousand strong in
membership. The program ad
ministered by the 4-H Clubs
gives our young people some
valuable experiences in pre
paring for a useful adult life.
We hope to see the member
ship and participation of t h e
Club’s activities grow much
larger in the years to come.
“Chicken Stick”
Agricultural research has
done it again!
They have developed a dif
ferent way of offering chicken
to the consumer. It’s the frozen
chicken stick — an outgrowth
of research at New York State
College of Agriculture.
Frozen chicken sticks are
made of ground chicken bread
ed with corn flake crumbs. They
come six to the package and
need only to be browned in the
oven, pan fried, or cooked in
deep fat. The sticks are good
as a main dish, in a sandwich,
or as hor d’oeuvres.
Two fried chicken sticks
placed in a hamburger bun
makes a hearty sandwich. A
chicken stick cut into four parts,
fried in deep fat and served
pn toothpicks makes a new and I
different hors d’oeuvre.
Egg Angles
I don’t know how many
square eggs there are but I do
know there are a lot of angles
about eggs that are interesting.
One thing is the fact that it’s
probably been a. long time since
you found a really bad egg
among those you bring home
from the refrigerated counter
from your market. It's not by
accident these eggs are of such
uniformly high quality. Poul
trymen have learned a great
deal about how to produce bet
ter eggs. Marketing specialists
have learned how to keep their
quality high on the trip from
farm to market.
Today’s hens are bred for
their ability to lay good eggs
and they are fed scientifically
developed ration to help them
do the job.
This is National Egg Month —
a time to observe the outstand
ing job our egg producers in our
area are doing in providing us
with the “good ole egg.”
Planning For Vegetable
Freezing
Pay particular attention to
the variety of vegetables you
plant in the home garden. Cer
tain varieties of vegetables are
better for freezing than others.
A pretty good idea to follow
in planting is to make several
different plantings or plant
several varieties with different
maturity dates. This keeps the
homemaker from being over
worked and. too, you don’t
have to put too many unfrozen
packages in the home freezer

Peanut Special
Have you ever tried a peanut
! pie?
This is Peanut Week in Geor
! gia and a good time to try this
old-time favorite dessert. The
recipe is no great secret.
One standard recipe for this
pie is as follows: Combine 1/2
cup sugar, 1-1/2 cups corn
syrup, 1/4 cup butter or mar
garine, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Bring to a boil over low heat.
Beat three eggs. Pour the syrup
mixture slowly over the beat
en eggs, stirring constantly.
Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and
one cup salted peanut halves.
Now, pour the mixture into an
unbaked nine-inch pie shell.
Bake at 375 degrees for 40 to
50 minutes or until the filling
is set and the nuts are brown
ed.
Peanut products are popular
—it’s reported that peanut, for
example, is included in t h e
diet of our Astronauts.
This Week's Tip
Eggs should not be cooked at
too high temperature for too
long a time. Eggs by nature are
gentle and sensitive but when
abused can become very hard
boiled indeed. Tough eggs are
invariably the produot of wrong
environment.
Now is Time for
Action to Stop
Bark Beetle Harm
It's time for pre-spring
cleaning in the woods.
This is an especially impor
tant time for action to prevent
further damage in pine stands
attacked by bark beetles last
summer or fall, says Extension
Forester George D. Walker of
the University of Georgia Co
operative Extension Service.
Many of these beetles, which
are capable of killing trees, are
over-wintering in infested trees,
he explained. Removal of trees
recently killed or now infested
with bark beetles is an impor
tant step in preventing these
insects from moving to other
trees.
This removal should be done
before Warm weather stimu
lates beetles’ activity, Mr. Wal
ker emphasized. Infested trees
should be detected by careful
examination and removed
quickly, not after they die, be
cause the insects that kill trees
have usually moved on to an
other tree by the time the
needles turn brown, he said.
Many North Georgia coun
ties have reported infestations
of southern pine beetle, which
is the most destructive and
hardest to control of the bark
beetles in this part of t h e
country. Removal of infested
trees is especially important
where this beetle is present,
the forester said.

Base Decision
On Feed Grain
Signup on Facts
Farmers need some facts to
use in making the decision of
whether to divert some acres
out of production under the
1962 feed grain program, and.
if so, how many acres. Deadline
for signing up in the Feed Grain
Program is March 30.
Things to consider in mak
ing the decision, according to
Extension Farm Management
Specialist Edward Brown, are:
How will this affect your in
come? Your workload? Your
risks?
The decision must be made on
the basis of each individual
situation. Mr. Brown said.
First step in sizing up a sit
uation is to get the following
information from the county
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service Office:
What are your base acreages for
com and grain sorghum? What
are the county payment rates
for diverting acreage of feed
grain production? For what
purposes must this diverted
acreage be used?
With this information at
hand, figure the gain or loss
from participation. Gain from
participation will include pay
ments for diverted acres, cash
cost saved on acres diverted
and the value of price support
advantage.
Cost of participation will in
clude the value of production
lost and the cost of conserva
tion practices on the acres di
| verted.
Then, estimate the net gain
j or loss by subtracting total costs
from total gains. This will show
the effect participation in the
Feed Grain Program will have
on net income.
Other items to consider in
clude possible reduction of
risks, ability to look after few
er acres and protection against
■ crop failure.
