4-H Enrollment Time
It's school time again: And,
। it’s also 4-H Club enrollment
time.
We have boys and girls in
Newton County eligible to par
ticipate in the many activities
of the Club throughout the
i year.. If you are between the
ages of 10 and 20, I hope you
will consider becoming a mem
j ber of this wonderful Club.
Georgia 4-H Club work is a
part of the Cooperative Exten
i sion Service, College of Agri
। culture, University of Georgia
and the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Individual clubs
are organized and conducted
I under the immediate supervis
ion of county and home demon
stration agents in each county.
Local volunteer leaders, such
as parents, teachers, play an
important role in the develop
ment of the community, coun
ty and state 4-H Club program.
The H’s in 4-H stand for
head, heart, hands and health.
The Club pledge is dedicated to
the development of all four.
The Club work promotes an
overall program of better liv
ing for families. It’s a nation
wide voluntary organization in
which young people “learn by
doing’’ to best use their talents,
opportunities and responsibili
ties for developing themselves
and their communities.
Georgia’s 4-H Club program
is second to none in the na
tion. It has the largest mem
bership of any state in the na
tion with more than 149,000
members at present. But, even
more than that, I feel that it
has one of the best organized
programs to help boys and girls
as they grow up.
Newton County has an im
portant part in this outstanding
Club. We have 12 active com
munity clubs with a member
ship of approximately 500.
Members select one or more
projects to carry on each year.
They can take projects from
the following: agronomy, cloth
ing, dairy, engineering, ento
mology, foods and nutrition,
food preservation, forestry,
health, home improvement,
horticulture, landscaping, lead
ership, livestock, marketing,
poultry, recreation and others.
This list shows that a boy or
girl does not have to live on a
farm to carry out a 4-H pro-
?

Preserving Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are here again
and homemakers should con
sider buying this wonderful
Georgia food in quantity large
' enough for several meals. It
; doesn't take much longer to
cook a large quantity and the
part that is not used can be
stored in the freezer for use in
later meals.
Pies, souffles, baked, fried,
i casseroles, balls and candied
are only a few ways to serve
this delicious food. With a little
extra time, you can easily store
• a year’s supply in the home
ready for your favorite disn.
> They may be frozen or canned.
You will obtain best results
from cured sweet potatoes. Se
lect the ones that are free from
defects, such as cuts, bruises
i and surface blemishes. Some
’ excellent varieties are on t h e
, market now. Grade the pota
toes for size.
; You may freeze baked, slic
ed, or pureed potatoes. These
i can be held up to twelve
months if processed and stored
correctly. There are several
ready-to-serve sweet potato
I dishes that can be stored for a
i limited time. Among these are
. sweet potato pies, sweet potato
1 balls, sweet potato pie filling,
: sweet potato cake, and prac
tically any of your favorite
sweet potato dishes.
To freeze baked potatoes, use
the small size moist-type vari
ety. Wash the potatoes thor
oughly. Grease the surface with
: fresh cooking oil or fat. Bake
. in a 375 degrees F. pre-heated
i oven until slightly soft. Cool
• quickly and package in mois
• ture - vapor proof, air-tight
, bags or wrap individually in
, freezer paper. Place in t h e
, food freezer to quick freeze.
■ When ready to serve, place the
, potatoes in a pre-heated oven
. to heat thoroughly. You may
• use these frozen, baked pota
i toes in any recipe calling for
■ fresh, whole potatoes.
To freeze sliced potatoes, use
the medium to large size. Se
lect deeply colored semi-dry
type. Cut the peeled potatoes
lengthwise into 1/2 inch slic
es. Scald in boiling water three
minutes and cool quickly. Pre
pare a sirup made from mixing
equal parts of sugar and wa
ter. Pack the cooled potato slic
es closely in rigid containers.
Cover with the cool sirup.
Close the container air tight
and quick freeze. These can be
substituted for fresh sliced po
tatoes in any of your favorite
recipes.
To freeze sweet potato puree,
use the jumbo size. Select a
variety that is free of strings
and of satisfactory color and
flavor. Cook the unpeeled po
tatoes in water or steam until
soft. Remove peel and put po
tatoes through a sieve or co
lander. For each five pounds of
puree, add one cup sugar and
one tablespoon lemon juice.
Cool and package in rigid,
moisture - vapor proof, a i r
tight containers. Place in t h e
food freezer to quick freeze.
This puree may be used in any
recipe calling for mashed pota
toes.
Sweet potatoes may be can
ned whole, sliced, quartered or
pureed.
This Week's Tip
Vinegar is a very handy aid
in cleaning and beautifying
many of your appliances. For
example, vinegar can be mixed
with water to clean the inside
of a steam iron. Hard water
scum in a dishwasher may be
flushed off by using about one
cup of vinegar instead of de
tergent. A vinegar and water
mixture is used to rinse the in
side of the oven after using
cleaners.

Senator Talmadge Incensed Over
New Ruling on Cotton Prices
ATLANTA (GPS) — Incens
ed over the U. S. Tariff Com
mission’s recent ruling against
an increase in the duties on
cotton textiles imported into
the United States, Georgia's
Sen. Herman E. Talmadge de
clared that he will press hard
er than ever for passage of his
farm bill which he said will
correct this two-price evil.
The commission, in a 3-2 de
cision, ruled the system under
which foreign textile firms can
buy U. S. cotton for less than
American firms pay does not
need to be changed. The con
troversial case had been be
fore the commission since Feo
ruary.
At issue was whether foreign
textile producers should be al
lowed to buy U. S. cotton at
8-1/2 cents a pound less than
it was available to U. S. man
ufacturers, then ship it back to
this country in the form of
competitive products.
This is possible under pre
sent law because U. S. cotton is
subsidized to make it compe
titive in overseas markets. Tex
tile industry officials and the
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture wanted foreign firms to
be forced to pay an “offset fee’’
on imports equal to 8-1/2 cents
a pound on the cotton content
of their products.
Under the Talmadge Farm
Plan, which the Georgia junior
senator has introduced in t h e
last three sessions of Congress,
U. S. Textile manufacturers
would be able to buy cotton at
world prices.
Immediately following the
skillfully and safely.
Growing South is seen each
weekday evening at 7 o’clock
on WGTV, Channel 8, the Uni
versity of Georgia’s education
al television station. The pro
gram is produced by the Geor
gia Center for Continuing Ed
ucation in cooperation with the
College of Agriculture. Ronny
Stephens is host.

commission’s ruling, Sen. Tal
madge, who is a member of the
U. S. Senate Agriculture and
Forestry Committee, issued this
statement:
“Every American who rea
lizes that half a million textile
jobs and one thousand textile
plants have been liquidated
since the conclusion of World
War II has been seriously con
cerned. One of the factors con
tributing to this loss of jobs
and mills has been the fact that
we sell American cotton over
seas eight and one-half cents
per pound cheaper than domes
tic mills can purchase it.
“We were hopeful that the
Tariff Commission would rec
ognize the inequality of such a
situation and take steps to cor
rect it. Unfortunately, it has
- refused to do so.
“It is now more Imperative
that a farm bill along the lines
' that I introduced in the 85th,
86th and 87th Congresses be
adopted. I have hopes that such
legislation can be adopted next
5 year and I expect to exert every
’ effort as one member of the
’ Senate Committee on Agricul
’ ture and Forestry to seek its
’ enactment.”
