I TIPS AND TRICKS FROM
Shirley Harris
POTATOES NOT HIGH <
N CALORIE COUNT
t ,ns trying to reduce
their weight usually don’t eat po
tatoes because th y believe they
are high in calories. Actually, po
tatoes .a uiumsclvs are no higher
i calorics than many other foods,
..cording to nutritionists. A me-
Tum —..0 po^io — boiled, pres- j
.ure-cooked or baked — provides ।
mly about 10J calories. This is
about the same number of calo- I
.ies as a large apple or orange or j
half of a large grapefruit.
Toe calor.e content of the po- I
tato is increased when they ,
are fried in fat or served with i
gravy. Fried potatoes may be!
two to four times as high in cal- !
ories as the same weight of boil- j
ed, pressure-cooked or baked po- '
ta toes’.
In terms cf food value, one rm |
dium size potato can supply as |
much as a fifth of the vitamin C I
recommended to be included in j
the daily d et. The same potato j
provided worthwhile amounts of I
thiamine and niacin, two import
ant B vitamin.'’, and such minerals
as iron, phosporous and potas- |
sium.

CONSIDERING THE
QUALITY OF A BLOUSE
What do you look for when you !
buy a blouse? Whgt are the qual- i
aloes you 1 ne most about the last 1
blou. o you bought?
The blouse, of course, is widely
used in wardrobes of both teen- |
age girls and women, therefore,
manufacturers, retailers and con
sumers are interested in questions
I have just asked.
A recent study involving more
than 1,600 women brought forth
some interesting answers to these
questions. The women were ob
served while shopping and some
of them were interviewed.
Tailored blous- s were found to
be twice as popular as dressy or
semi-dressy blouses. Over half
the blouses purchased were wov
n cotton. Other fibers and some
knitted fabrics were included.
The majority of the purchased
blouses had short or three-quar
ter length sleeves, collars of some
type, and front closings.

most women check on fit and take
time to decide if it is becoming

other construction to see how

(CHOOSING CHRISTMAS TOYS
Once the month of December
I is with us, Christmas time is not
far away. Th s. of course, means
“o time to find the little things
j that will bring joy to the chil-
I dren on Christmas morning.
Two main things should be con
sidered about the toys the child
| __
I FEEDING SWINE
| i Tee-choice versus complete
■■. —ed rations for swine feeding
| i probably one of the most con
troversial areas among swine pro
-1 ducers.
I. Even though these types of
I feuding have b. en studied ex
| temrvely, an examination of pub-
I shed experimental data indicat
td. considerable variation in re
mits, due in part to experimen
tal variables regarding the ani
mals, dietary ingredients, and en
vironment.
A simple average of available
data published by various experi
ment stations during the past
four years on free-choice vs. mix
ed rations shows that pigs fed
complete-mixed rations on con
crete grew four per cent faster
but that the free-choice fed pigs
made more efficient gains by re
quii ing three per cent less feed.
There were 570 pigs involved in
the studies. Half were on a com
plete-mixed ration and half were
on a free-choice. Average daily
min for free-choice fed pigs was
will get for Christmas. They cer
tainly should be safe and strong
enough to last, at least for awhile.
Let us consider just a few of
the toys. Pull toys for small tots,
for example, should be without
sharp corners and not have small
parts which unscrew easily. Stuff
ed toys should be sewn together
well, made of firm material and
be colorful. Rattles should be
large enough that the child will
not be able to get it into his
mouth, firm without small detach
able parts, and non-brittle. Metal
toys should not have small par's,
fold over tabs, small nuts, bolts
or screws nor sharp edges.
Generally, toys should be se
lected to suit the age and ability
of the child. Get toys which are
free of elaborate realistic detail:
— those which stimulate the
child’s imagination.
The Savannah River separates
Georgia and South Carolina.
New pecan orchards may be
set in either of these two ways:
1. Set trees 40x80 or 50x100 feet
and take out half the trees when
2* to 30 years old: or 2. space
80x80 or 100x100 feet and plant
row crops between until trees
shade crops too much. Then put
in grazing crops.
FARM CHATS
by M. K. JACKSON
1.48 pounds; for complete-mixed
ration fed pigs, 1.54. However, it
took nine more pounds of ration
for each 100 pounds gained by
complete-mixed fed pigs than
those on free-choice.
Because of the saving in feed
of the grinding and mixing cost,
the feed of free-choice rations on
concrete, weaning to market, re
sulted in a saving of 60 c nts foi
every 100 pounds of pork produc
ed.
However, there is a trend to
ward feeding of complete-mixed
rations and less free-choice. The
two main reasons for this prob
ably are that a complete-mixed
ration lends itself more readily to
automation and it allows for
maximum use of soybean meal.

SOIL TESTS
If possible, farmers should get
as many soil samples as they can
submitted to testing laboratories
by Dec. 15.
Laboratory officials say this is
a good time for them to run tests
on the samples because they will
nave extra help during the holi
day period. By getting the soil
samples in before Dec. 15, the
farmer can expect the results to
be returned much faster than if
he waits until after the first of
the year.
If you haven’t taken soil tests
yet, do so as soon as possible. It
you have never taken a soil test
before on your farm, stop by at
my office and I will give you com
plete Instructions on how to take
the sample. The laboratory test of
sample is free of charge.

REGULAR SAVINGS
Os all the ways there are to
make a living, farming must
surely rank near the top of the
list from the standpoint of uncer
tainty of results.
What could be more risky than
investing your money in an en
terprise controlled by so many
factors over which you have little
or no influence.
Just the same, many smart
farmers are hedging against ad
versity by regular savings. A
ecent report by the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture shows
that American farmers own liquid
financial assets in excess of 14
billion dollars — $14.3 billion to
be exact.
The largest single item in this
holding is United States Savings
Bonds, with farmers owning $5.2
billion worth, or 36 per cent.
Their demand deposits total $4.3
and time deposits $2.9 billion.
Their cash in hand was estimated
to be $1.9 billion.

LOW GROWING SHRUBS
Most new houses are low. one
story structures with a definite
horizontal look. With such arch
itectural design, there is greater
need for planting low growing
shrubs and trees to decorate your
lawn. But many of these new
houses have been nearly covered
with tall plants.
With use of more and larger
windows in new houses, it has
become important to do more
planting of shrubs and trees away
from the building. However,
there is still need for some plants
around the base of the house that
will be in scale with the building.
Direct seeding of pine is most
'successful when done in late win
ter. *

One little girl, and one big com
l ’ catcJ scientific machine. What
do they have in common? The
little girl has r.iuseular dystrophy,
a disease that defies analysis; the
big machine is an electron micro
scope, capable of magnifying mus
cle tissue 160,000 times.
The microscope is installed at ;
the Institute for Muscle Disease,
New York City, the modern rc- !
search center built at a cost of ।
mere than 85,000,000 by Muscular ;
Dystrophy Associations of Amer-!
ica, Inc., with funds raised in the |
annual March for Muscular'
Dystrophy.
Robin Balnis, MDAA’s 1960
National Poster Child, asked, while
•'n a recent wheel chair tour of the
institute, “Will that maitlnne help
me walk?”
In time it may, because it en
ables scientists to explore the mys.
terious processes by which normal
and diseased muscle develops and
I functions—or, as in Robin’s case,
: ceases to function.
In time. In time for Robin?
: In time for the thousands of other
| children suffering from muscular
. dystrophy? Their only hope for
! recovery lies in the kind of re
search being done tit the Institute,
and in nearly one hundred scien
tific institutions across the world
under MDAA’s grant-in-aid pro
gram.
