Q. What is freeze-drying?
A. Freeze-drying is a new
processing method which re
moves the moisture from fresh
foods. This process permits
foods to be stored for as long as
two years without refrigeration.
Q. How do freeze-dried foods
compare in flavor and taste
with canned and frozen items?
A. Recently, USDA special
ists ran taste tests on 28 freeze
dried foods. They found three
freeze-dried foods definitely,
better than their canned rr fro-

graham breads more nutritious
than enriched white bread?
A. Whole wheat and graham
breads are excellent foods that
add variety and lots of good
flavor to meals. But they are
not nutritionally superior to
enriched white bread in ordin
ary diets. For the past 20 years,
white bread has been enriched
with thiamine, niacin, ribo
flavin and iron.
Q. I recently heard that
Georgia produces more chicks
than any other state. If this is
true, what percent is this of
the total production in the U.
S.?
A. Yes, it is a fact that Geor
gia now produces more chicks
than any other state. For the
first half of 1963, Georgia pro
duced 14.5 percent of the na
tional total.
Q. Is it possible to get the
pint of milk recommended for
adults in foods eaten during
the day?
A. Yes. The following foods
furnish important amounts of
milk or its equivalent: Cereal
and milk, approximately one
cheese sandwich (one ounce of
Cheddar - type chese), about
two-thirds cup milk; creamed
soupe, one-half to one cup;
creamed vegetable, one-fourth
to one-half cup; casserole with
a cream or cheese sauce, one
fourth to one-half cup; custard,

one-half cup; generous serving
ice cream, one-half cup. There
are so many ways in which to
use milk and milk products
that it's easy to “eat” some or
all of that pint of milk each
day.
Q. Is it true that Americans
consumed more food fats this
year than last?
A. Yes. Despite all of the
talk about fats in the diet, the
USDA reports more fat con
sumed in 1963 than in 1962.
Americans used a record 4.7
billion pounds of fats and oils
during the first half of 1963.
Although our larger population
accounts for some of the in
crease, per capita consumption
also increased. Salad and cook
ing oils and shortenings ac
counted for the biggest in
creases. Per capita use of but
ter, margarine and lard re
mained about the same.

NITROGEN FOR
SMALL GRAINS
IS DISCUSSED
When it comes to nitrogen
for small grain, questions most
asked ,by farmers are when,
what kind, and how much.
, P. J. Bergeaux, Cooperative
Extension Service agronomist,
said recent research at the
University of Georgia has pro
vided the answers.
Mr. Bergeaux cited an ex
periment conducted by Dr. H.
D. Morris of the College of
Agriculture which showed that
split applications of nitrogen
on oats resulted in the highest
per acre grain and forage
yields.
Using 100 pounds of nitrogen,
Dr. Morris applied 50 pounds
at planting and 50 pounds in
February. The result was an
average yield of 81 bushels of
grain and 1.084 pounds of for
age per acre.
When he applied all 100
pounds of nitrogen at planting,
the forage yield climbed to 1.-
430 pounds but grain produc
tion dropped to 52 bushels.
Applying all the nitrogen in
February gave an average per
acre yield of 78 bushels and
only 620 pounds of forage.
Based on these experiments,
Mr. Bergeaux said, nitrogen
applications on oats should be
split—half at planting and
half in February—for maxi
mum grain and forage produc
tion.
In another experiment, Dr.
Morris used ammonium nitrate,
nitrate of soda, urea, and am
monium sulfate in an effort to
determine which nitrogen
source is best. One hundred
and twenty pounds of actual
nitrogen per acre was applied
from each of the four sources.
Results showed no signifi
cant difference in yields be
tween the nitrogen sources.
Mr. Bergeaux said, therefore,
that the primary consideration
in choosing a source of nitro
gen to use on oats should be
the cost per pound of the ni
trogen.
As for how much nitrogen
to use, the Extension agrono
mist said the amount will vary
depending on how the crop i’
to be used.
