THE SIXTH WAR LOAN
The Sixth War Loan—not the
biggest, but probably the most im
portant drive of all—started Nov.
20 and will continue until Dec. 16.
It comes at a crucial stage of the
war. All over the world our armies
are on the offensive. In Europe our
boys are pounding down the waTs
to Hitler’s Germany. In winning,
they’re using huge amounts of arms
and ammunition material that
they are expecting us to buy with
War Bonds that we purchase.
Though this is not the biggest
War Loan for the Nation—this is
the biggest War Lean lor agricul
ture. The farm quota for Chat
tooga county is $26,000.00 and we
must meet it! In the fifth drive,
farm purchases were down —due, of
course, to the low 7 agricultural in
come at the season. But this time
the farm income is some higher
and now is our turn to make a
heavy investment in War Bonds.
So that the people in the rural
areas of Chattooga county can meet
their responsibility in the present

There’s a crisis in the making!
If stocks pile up in fertilizer plants and agents’ ware
houses, the stream of supply will choke up. They must
move fast or the lack of man-power will cause a para
lyzing shortage.
Take the Chilean Nitrate situation for example. To
supply the quantity needed for 1945 crops, many car
goes must be unloaded each month at each port, then
moved out by train and truck for immediate allocation.
It must move out of agents’ hands as fast as it moves
in. If not, the choke-up starts and works back to the
ports, even back to the ships.
Already there’s a threatened shortage of nitrogen,
due to sharply increased war needs. Unless you help
smash the bottle-neck by
taking your nitrate as soon
as it is offered, the shortage “ “
will become acute. Thous- Pile all materials on dry

to solicit each home. Even though
victory may seem near, we still face
a long and costly war in the Pa

be much more bitter than we had
thought, and when the last gun is
fired the expense of war will not
end. The cost of canceling con

phorus, iron and other mineral ele
ments, the home demonstration
agent said, pointing out that “we
are learning to realize their im-1
portance as economical extenders
and good alternates for meat
dishes.
“Nuts contribute a large amount
of fat, pecans being more than 70
per cent, fat, English walnuts and
hickory nuts more than 60 per
cent., and black walnuts more than
50 per cent.,” Miss Parish said. “It
is possible to substitute nuts for a
part of the fat in a recipe; for ex
ample, a nut pastry may be made
by using finely ground pecans for
one-half the fat called for in the
recipe.”
Nuts may be used to add rich
ness to poultry dressing or stuffing,
and to croquettes, creamed chicken
or fish, the home agent pointed
out. They also may be added to
biscuits, muffins, waffles, cake or
cookies for flavor and variety.
In adding nuts to doughs and
batters, use one-fourth to a half
cup of nuts cut in small pieces to
each cup of flour, she advised. In
mixing, they may be added to the
dry ingredients or to the batter.
Nuts have a tendency to absorb
moisture and thus make the bread
or cake dry. This can be avoided
by placing the nuts in boiling wa
ter for a few minutes and then
draining them before adding to the
mixture.
Nuts may be used raw in breads,
cakes and pastries, but the mild
flavored nuts, like almonds and
English walnuts, are better if roast
ed first. One should be careful not
to cook them too long nor at too
great a heat, as this darkens them
and spoils the flavor. Black wal
nuts differ from other walnuts, be
cause they have a strong and char
acteristic flavor. Many home cooks
prefer them for cakes, cookies, fill
ings and desserts, because they re
tain their flavor while cooking.
EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST TO
START A GOOD DAY
By DOROTHY FLOYD SITTON,
War Food Production Asst.
Did you eat a good breakfast this
morning? If you prepared break
fast for others, was it a good one?
A three-point test of a good
breakfast is this: It gives mate
rials for body building, repair and
keeps the body healthy; it provides
fuel for body energy; it is attrac
tive interesting and tastes good.
A poor breakfast of doughnuts
and coffee or a fruit juice and cof
fee breakfast does not provide a
balanced meal and leaves too much
for other meals to make up during
the day. Then there’s a 10 or 12-
hour stretch between supper and
breakfast which has used its share
of energy food and needs help right
then.
What’s in a good breakfast? Fruit
is always found in a good breakfast
because most of them are outstand
ing in Vitamin C and they help to
prevent constipation. Cereals, espe
cially at this season, is most desir
able. Choose whole grain and en
riched varieties, as they have add
ed values in B vitamins and min
erals.
Milk is important, as it furnishes
calcium which helps to build strong
bones and teeth. Fats help break
'ast stick to the ribs; this is be
cause fats digest slower than other
foods. Eggs, liver and other lean
meats provide high-grade protein
values for body building and repair.
It is the duty of every homemak
er to see that her family has a
good breakfast to start the day off
right. The U. S. Department of
Agriculture offers many bulletins
and leaflets on nutrition and they
may be obtained through your local
County Extension Office.
