i The dove is a migrating species
: so the population densities vary
; at different seasons of the year,
i Doves require water daily so they
: are found near streams and
; ponds.
j Groups of trees are important
i for nesting and roosting even
i though they sometime roost on
; the ground in fields. Nests are
: often seen in pines, red cedar,
j oak. pecan and other trees. Quite
; often these will be along the
i edges of fields and woodlands or
: on fence rows.
; Some of the choice foods of
: I doves are corn, millet, wooley
• croton. Japanese millet, Texas
; millet, ragweed, grain sorghum.
; I sweetgum, wheat and dove proso,

Selection of the sites for plant
ing and the condition the fields

i for use by the doves is very im
portant in successful dove fields.
It is now the season to make

Buying Meat
’ By REBECCA WALKER
I The other day I came across an
litem in which the homemakers
|of Telfair County might be in
j terested. It wrns about the cost of
I cooked lean in selected cuts of i
’ meat. Let me share with you ,
some of the information I found
in this article.
About one-fourth of the dollar i
spent for sod by U. S. house- j
holds goes for meat —beef. veal. ,
I pork and lamb—according to a I
national food consumption survey ■
made recently. Because meat is a
major expense and the range in
costs of the different types and
cuts is great, the homemaker
I needs to select meat carefully if
she wants to make the best use
of her money.
Finding the best buys at the
meat counter is not always easy.
The economy of a cut depends
on the amount of cooked lean
i meat it provides, the nutritive
value of the lean meat and the
price per pound. In general, the
nutrititive value of lean cooked
meat from the various meat ani
mals differs only slightly, except
that pork provides more thia
; mine and organs and glands are
' usually higher in iron and vita
mins than other meats.
The homemaker’s principal
consideration in finding good
meat buys are the yield of cooked
lean meat and the price per
pound. Thus, she needs to com
pare the cost of equal amounts of
cooked lean from the various cuts
and types of meat available.
For example, for a three-ounce
serving of lean meat from a
chuck roast—bone in—priced at
50 cents a pound, the cost would
be 22 cents. And from ground
beef being sold at 55 cents a
pound, the cost for a three-ounce
serving would be 14 cents.
Telfair County homemakers
should keep these tips in mind
when shopping for meat. To get
the best meat for your money,
be sure to compare prices in re
lation to the amount of lean
cooked meat you want to serve
. your family.
Virtues Os
Peanut Butter
Mothers looking for away to
get more protein into family
meals and snacks should consider
using more peanut butter in the
daily dishes.
Remember, peanut butter is
made from high quality peanuts.
It is a flavorful food high in food
energy. Peanut butter is a good
source of protein for all meals
' and for snacks too.
Peanut butter should be stored
in a dry place at room tempera
ture. Once opened, the peanut
butter should be stored in a tight-

Gov Maddox Sees
Hope For Future
Os The Retarded
Gov. Lester G. Maddox partic
ipated in recent ground-breaking
ceremonies for the Orange Grove
| Center for Retarded Children in
Chattanooga, Tenn. In brief re
marks, the governor said:
“This is a greatly needed work
... By the path of patience and
earnest effort w’e can lead many
of these children into lives that
are useful to themselves and to
society.
“By the saving grace of love,
we can cause a new day to
break beyond the darkened gate
ways of their minds—a new day
in which hope shines as bright
as any sun.
“When each of us—governors,
legislators, officials, those who
work with these children, and the
citizens—has done his best, then
we can be assured that history
will never judge our generation
as being morally retarded.
“I feel sure that all involved
in this heartwarming project will
continue to do his best. We. in
Georgia, pledge our support and
cooperation.”
