SUCCESSFUL COOKING
A recipe is the key to suc~
cessful cooking.
Anyone can be a good cook
by simply following a recipe,
Os course, an experienced cook
doesn’t Jml use a written
recipe-~only when a precise bal
ance of ingredients is required,
The recipes of today are vastly
different from those of yester
year that called for taking half
a peck of fine wheat flour or
beating with a cool hand,
Selecting a reliable recipe is
important, To do so, first read
the recipe thoroughly to be sure
all the measurements are easy
to duplicate, Heaping or scant
cups or spoonfuls are not mea=-
sured the same by everyone,
Check to see if combinations
and amounts of ingredients are
logical or similar to those in
basic recipes.
If you are in question about
a recipe, you may want to test
it before planning to serve it
to guests.
For best results, follow the
directions precisely, Substitut
ing ingredients is risky. Cer
tain ingredients can be inter
changed, such as cocoa and butter
for chocolate or sweetmilk and
lemon juice for sour milk, but
when possible use the ingredient
called for in the recipe,
It is usually better to prepare
a recipe twice than doubling it,
Doubling the amount of one in
gredient may mean a failure,
Large amounts arealso harder to
mix correctly and may take lon
ger than mixing twice.

it better’’ can ruin the balance
of a recipe, An extra egg will
, not improve a cake, but will
make it tough,
z Having the right utensils will
. enable you to follow a recipe
. more accurately,
| Be sure to measure ingredi
. ents with standard measuring
. cups and spoons, You need at
, least one set of nesting dry
. measuring cups, one liquid mea~-
' suring cup and a set of measur=-
. ing spoons, Tea cups and re=-
gular spoons do not give the
measurements called for in a
~ recipe,
Be sure to use the right size
of pan, Baking will be more
uniform. If you use a glass
pan the oven temperature should
be reduced by 25 degrees,
Prepare the pan so that it will
be suitable for the recipe. Angel
Food cakes will not rise well if
the pan is greased, The pan
should be greased for butter
cakes,
Take the guess work out of
testing for doneness. Use a
cooking thermometer when
roasting meat and cooking jelly,
candy or frostings. Anotherwise
good product can be ruined by
over or under-cooking it a few
degrees,
Remember that a recipe is a
cook’s best friend, Take its
advice at heart and it will serve
you faithfully,

AUTOMATIC TIMERS
The average automatic oven
timer just a few years ago was
rather difficult to set, Today,
however, it is very easy to use.
The timer can be used for
controlling the oven for any non
critical cooking operation, This
does not include broiling or
baking such items as cake be
cause these operations require
specific timing, Roasts and cas~
seroles can be cooked automati~
cally.
On many ranges, the timer can
also be used to control a con
venience outlet, Any portable
appliance can thus be turned on
and off automatically, It is es
pecially convenient for having
coffee ready when you get up in
the morning.
e
SAFETY LESSON FOR
PARENTS
When your child hurts hime
self, do you pick him up, give
him a hug and then offer him a
toy or a cookie to make him
forget about it?
According to pediatricians,
this practice could be harmful,
for it makes the child think
that the accident was not his
f:lult.
When accidents occur, health
and medical authorities agree
that parents should be sympathe~
tic, though firm, in explaining
how the child’s ownactions caus=-
ed the accident, Never blame the
object, for example by saying:
“pDid that old heater burn my
darling baby’s hand?’’ In such
instances, the child will believe
that the object, and not he, was
responsible for the accident,
Even as young as one and two
years, the age your child is
most susceptible to accidents, he
can understand why accidents
happen and can assume some
responsibility for his own safe~-
ty.

New Navy Program
Increases Pay
The Navy has announced a new
program, effective now, which
makes it possible for the new
recruit to earn more money upon
reporting for active duty.
Under this program, a man
may enlist in the Navy as much
as four (4) months prior to re
porting for active duty. The four
month waiting period will count
as time for promotion and ear=-
lier pay increases. Upon re
porting for active duty the new
man will already have four
months senijority, thus entitling
him to a higher starting pay.
During the four months waiting
period, prior to reporting for
active duty, these men may con=-
tinue their normal activities.
They are not required to attend
any meetings, drills, or schools
during this waiting period.

Extension Director Cites
Efficiency Os Ga. Farmers
The American farmer, who
already produces enough food
and fiber for himself and 30
other people, likely will be feed
ing and clothing even more of
his fellowmen in the future,
That certainly will be the case,
sald L, W, Eberhardt, Jr,, dir
ector of the University of Geor=
gla Cooperative Extension Ser
vice, if the efficiency of farm=
ers across the nation matches
the efficiency of their countere
parts in Georgla,
Mr. Eberhardt based his op=
timistic prediction on the 1964
annual crop report just released
by the Georgla Crop Reporting
Service,
The report makes note of these
highlights:
The average cotton yield per
acre of 470 pounds of lint is an
all-time high for the state, top=
ping last year's record by 17
pounds, The per acre peanut
yleld of 1,680 pounds is also a
record, exceeding the 1963 yield
by a whopping 120 pounds, Other
crops with record high yields
last year were wheat, sugar cane
for sirup, soybeans for beans,
and lespedeza for seed, And the
42-bushel corn yield was ex=-
ceeded only by the 43 bushels
last year.
An estimated value of $432,
620,000 was placed on the prin
cipal crops produced in Georgia
during 1964, The state’s big
four=-=-cotton, peanuts, corn, and
tobacco=-accounted for 82,7 per=
cent of the total,
Cotton, while not the king it
used to be, still packs a lot of
power in the state’s economy.
Lint and seed, valued at slOl,
285,000, led all other crops and
accounted for 23.4 percent of
the total value,
Last year’s peanut production
of 806,400,000 pounds is the lar
gest crop since 1948 when 818,
300,000 pounds were harvested.
But the 1964 production was har=-
vested from only 480,000 acres
compared with 1,169,000 acres
in 1948. Peanuts, valued at
$90,317,000, accounted for 20,9
percent of the total,
Corn ($88,971,000) and tobacco
($77,060,000) made up 20,6 per=-
cent and 17,8 percent, respect
ively.
Despite the record yields of

Georgia Peach
Growers Keep
Market Order
Georgia peach growers have
voted to continue the amended
marketing agreement and order
regulating interstate shipment of
peaches grown in Georgia, the
U."S. Department of Agrieulture
reports.
In a referendum conducted by
USDA’s Agricultural Marketing
Service, 87 percent of the grow=
ers who voted favored continu
ing the program, Those favor
ing the order grew 88 percent
of the peach tonage produced by
all those voting,
Provisions of the marketing
agreement and order, originally
effective April 27, 1942, require
that a referendum be held every
two years. The referendum was
held during the period December
7-15,
Georgia peach growers will
hold three meetings January 27
and 28 to nominate members and
alternate members for the in
dustry committee of the Georgia
peach marketing agreement and
order,
Terms of members and al
ternate members of the industry
committee expire February 28.
Minard F, Miller, Lakeland, Fla.,
field representative of the U, S,
Department of Agriculture, said
nomination meetings are sche
duled as follows; South Georgia
District, Barney, Community
Center, January 27; Central
Georgia, Fort Valley, court
house, January 28; North Georg
ia, Griffin, county agent’s office,
January 28. Meeting begins at

several crops, the 1964 value
was $26,206,000 less than 1963’s
$458,826,000, The slight drop
is due largely to decreases in
the production of pecans,
peaches, tobacco, and corn, and
a reduction in the priceof cotton,
Weather, about the only thing
Georgla farmers can't do any=
thing about, played havoc with
pecans and peaches, The 1964
pecan production of 12,000,000
pounds is only 11 percent of the
record 1963 crop of 112,000,000
pounds, The state’s peach crop
was damaged by the March freeze
and final production was re
duced to one-third of the pre
vious year’s output,
Mr, Eberhardt pointed out,
however, that record ylelds of at
least six crops show Georgia
farmers are some of the most
efficient producers in the world,
He paid tribute to the farmers,
and also to research and Ex
tension personnel who provide
them with up-to-date information
and recommendations on which
to base their decisions.
