During The Storm
The presence of stormy wea- 1
ther calls for additional care on
the part of the driver. National
Conservation Bureau issues the
following precautions to Georgia
drivers:
Keep Your Windshield Clear.
Be sure that your car is equipped
with a defroster and see that
your windshield wiper is in good
condition.
Drive Slowly, for in addition
to meeting another vehicle un
expectedly there is the danger of
skidding on slippery pavements.
Never forget the chains.
Watch out for the pedestrian
with the umbrella; he may be
carrying it in such a position that
he is unable to see.

Un y f year and a month after

Sciences at Turrialba, Costa Rica,
American troops in the American

urrialba”—which, for want c.f a
name, is its designation. This al
most unprecedentedly quick result
followed a combination of good n.ck,
good management, wartime p’es
sure for food, and the rapid growth
of plants in tropical areas. The new
tomato is one of the first fruitr* of
Latin American co-operation at the
institute.
Cattle Disease
The dairy industry is hard at
work to eliminate brucellosis in milk
producing animals. Nearly 40,000
calves were vaccinated in the Unit
ed States in the one month of April,
I 1944. During the same month over
13,000 cattle slaughtered had been
found previously to be positive rt
actors by blood test.

1947 COTTON COAL
In announcing 19 4 7 acreage
goals, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture revealed that the
cotton acreage goal calls for a 26
percent increase over that o f
1946. Indicated acreage for 1946
was 18 million acres and this {
should be stepped up to 23 rail-!
lion, according to the goals re- i
port. If the increase is reached;
this will still be 13 percent be
low the average planting for the
period 1937-41.
Crumbs From Toaster
Brush all crumbs from the toaster
j after each using. This saves the
toaster and assures a good flavor in
I the toast. A small paint brush will
i be handy.
SCHOOL LUNCH GAINS
The school lunch program can t
supply half of the child’s daily I
food needs. This is the belief ofl
public health oflicials who point
out that the school lunch program
can help train the child in proper j
; food habits. Better nutrition in-1
j creases resistance to disease, pro-,
! motes learning ability, saves 1
I teaching costs and helps deve-i
lop healthy bodies and fre e i
minds. Great Britain with about’
one-third our population, spends;
for free school meals about 300
million dollars, which at the;
same per capita rate here would
cost us nearly one billions dollars. 1
Cood Beekeepers Keep
Colonies Up to Strength
The successful beekeeper will
make sure his colonies are built up
to full production strength and kept
in that condition through the sum
mon and fall. If the bees entered
the winter in good condition with
their share of the previous honey
crop, they will not need their 10-
pound ration of sugar per colony for
spring feeding. Many beginners
and beekeepers actually may not
produce 10 pounds of honey per col
ony to replace the sugar fed.
However, if colonies are short of
food due to the early spring and
later cold wave, each colony may
be fed a gallon or more of syrup
consisting of two pounds of sugar
or one quart of off-flavor honey
mixed in a gallon of hot water. To
the syrup or honey mixture, the pro
ducer may add a finely pulverized
half-gram tablet of sulfathiazole.
With the blooming of the black
locust trees and white clover, it will
be necessary to keep a close watch
for the first signs of swarming. To
prevent overcrowding, additional
supers may be added. The queen
may be permitted to move up into
the sugar if she doesn't have enough
room below. The beekeeper may
keep the hives overflowing with
] bees, if he will manipulate the
I combs and supers to prevent
i swarming which divides the
strength of the colony.
Body Makes Quick Use
Of Iron for Hemoglobin
New information about iron
metabolism has been reported by
University of California researchers
who have completed animal tracer
experiments with a superior radio
i active type of iron produced in the
| atom-smashing cyclotron. The re
searchers found that the bone mar
row, which is a factory for the
manufacture of the red blood pig
i ment hemoglobin, is able to use the
; iron much faster than had been pre-
J viously supposed.
1 They also found that the liver acts
as a storage depot for iron. When
needed, this liver iron is transferred
to the bone marrow to be used In
the production of hemoglobin, thus
staving off anemia and other effects
iof hemoglobin shortage. The re
i searchers found, however, that
when manufacture of hemoglobin is
stimulated by iron deficiency, by the
action of small amounts of copper
I or cobalt, there is little iron stor
age in the liver because the metal
is being so rapidly used by the bone
marrow.
Iron appears in the red blood cells
with amazing rapidity., Consider
able amounts are found in these
cells within 3 hours, and within 24
hours one-third to one-half of all the
absorbed radioactive iron has been
transferred to them.

Rendering Fat
To render, place finely chopped
fat in the top of a double boiler and
add one-half cup of sweet milk, but
termilk or sour milk for each pound
of fat. When the fat has melted,
! strain it through several thicknesses
' of cheesecloth. Rendering may he
i done without milk, but the texture
| and flavor are usually improved
j when milk is used. After the fat has
hardened, it can be clarified. Scrape
away the sediment at the bottom,
and melt the fat again by pouring
hot water over the cake. Boil
1 this mixture and again strain
j through cheesecloth. Set away to
cool, and when hard, lift the fat
from the liquid. This procedure may
be repeated until a pure cake of
fat is obtained. That’s all there is
to it—and you’ve Wiped save food
for those who need it overseas, as
well as saving yourself the expense
of buying new shortening when you
have the potentials right in your
own kitchen.
