By Dr. Mary Gibbs
Consumer Marketing Specialist
Q. What is the outtooK for
poultry products in 1963?
A. During 1963 homemakers
can look forward to a good
supply of eggs, broilers and
turkeys. The U. S. Department
of Agriculture reports that
about the same amount of
turkeys and eggs will be avail
able in 1963 as in 1962. And,
there’ll be more broilers on the
market.
Q. How much weight is lost
as the fat cooks out of a pound
of bacon?
A There are many brands,
qualities and types of bacon
and some shrink more in cook
ing than others. On the aver
age, however, a pound of ba
con yields about a third of its
purchased weigh as cooked
servings of the meat. Os course,
the bacon fat can be used for
flavoring other foods as well
as for frying. Fried apple pies
are delicious when cooked in
bacon fat.
Q. Since fat cooks out of
both bacon and sausage, I
would like to know how the
cost of meat per ounce com
nares for these two pork pro
ducts.
A. Usually, one pound regu
lar bacon, as purchased, yields
5 ounces of meat after cook
ing. At 50 to 80 cents per
pound, that is 10 to 16 cents
per ounce. For sausage, one
pound pork sausage usually
costs about six cents per ounce.
Q. Can you make your food
money buy more by purchasing
week-end specials?
A. The Food Research In
stitute of Stanford University
reports a study which shows
that shoppers can reduce food
bills up to 10 percent by taking
advantage of advertised “spec
ials.” Also, the researchers
found that advertised specials
promoted by an individual
market might cover approxi
mately one-third of the family’s
basic food budget.
Q. I would like to know how
the amount I spend for grocer
ies compares with that spent
by other families using a low
cost food plan.
A. Since you did not indicate
the size of your family, the
information is given for various
size families. During a week in

October, 1962, families spent
the following for a low-cost
food plan: Family of two, 20 to
34 years, $14.00; family of two,
55 to 74 years, $12.40- family
of four with preschool children,
$20.80; family of four with
school children, $24.00. The
prices for the food included in
this plan are based on the
average retail prices for the
nation for October as reported
by the Bureau of Labor Statis
tics.
Q. Please give some suggest
ions on how 1 can encourage
my family to eat more vege
tables.
A. There are several things
which might increase the con
sumption of vegetables by your
family members. Try serving
vegetables raw as well as cook
ed. Children, especially, like
such finger foods as carrot
sticks, green pepper strips, etc.
If you will encourage children
to help prepare vegetable dis
hes it may perk up appetites.
Also, to feature a “vegetable of
the week” in a new form may
increase interest in vegetables.

rally complimentary of fertili
zer distributors in his state
ment saying that most all loads
checked have been of proper
weight and content. However,
there have been instances of
short weights by a few individ
uals which if allowed to con
tinue could destroy the fine re
putation presently enjoyed by
the industry.
Campbell stated that this
stepped-up effort is being
made on the fertilizer checks
by the department as farmers
have no way of knowing if the
fertilizer they purchase is the
weight it is purported to be.
Campbell also reminded that
the Department of Agriculture
will analyze any fertilizer sam
ples for any individual farmer
upon request at no charge to
him. Farmers desiring to have
a check made should contact
