Hot Peanut Butter Muffins
USE ONE OF MONTH S BEST BUYS
By NoOcy Carter
TYiere are so many plentiful foods this month
■aakers should have no trouble planning thrifty meals with wide
variety. Favorite meats such as beef, pork and poultry are in excel
lent supiply and reasonably ^priced. As alternate protein dishes eggs,
dairy products, peanut butter and tiina fish round out the abundant
supply list.
Rice, potatoes, cabbage, celery, grapefruit, oranges, dates, and
canned cherries are economical buys also and will keep good com
pany with the plentiful main dish items.
In most homes a change in season brings a change in family
appetites Sometimes the l>est way to cater to this change is t»
serve the family favorite^ in a new way. There's scarcely a person
who doesn't like peanut butter, so how about using this plentiful food
in crusty, golden muffins served hot from the oven with plenty of
butter and preserves. When I made the muffins for this picture I had
a hard time keeping the men away until our photographer had fin
ished The recipe makes a dozen muffins. For a small family I suggest
you make the entire recipe: any muffins left over are mighty good
split and toasted for breakfast the next day.
Hot breads dress up any meal so if you would like more recipes
for them, just write to me, Nancy Carter. P. Q. Box 4358, Atlanta, Ga.

crop of cotton. Axki on the many
years we don’t have anything like
normal rainfall during the cotton
growing season, the crop is really
cut by insufficient water. And
there’s where irrigation comes in.
It irons out the spots that hurt.
HOME CANNING -b~- *
Have you gotten rusty on home
canning?
Has the cost of living revived
your interest in putting up as
much of yoiir food as you can
economically? ~'
If so, you’ll likely be interest
ed in a copy of Clemson’s revised
Extension Bulletin 112, “Home
Canning of' Fruits, Vegetables,
and Meats in South Carolina.”
Your home agent has it for you.

COTTON USE
Figures recently summarized
by our Paul Williamson show
j we are using about as much cot
ton per person as ever in this
country. Our increased use of fi
bers has come with synthetics.
And their use continues to in
crease. Last year we averaged

Once we did nothing but cut

There is just no satisfactory
substitute for.cotton in making a
lot of things. But the synthetic
products serve many purposes
well, and some better than cot
ton. And some of them also
compete with wool in warmth.

BOYS ARE THAT WAY
We were largely raised on the
products of the cow, gardeh, and
orchard.
They formed the strong trinity
of our fort in the Stone Hills of
the Dutch Fork.
Among these, the cow was the
most indispensable. For her prod
ucts would not keep, like can
ning, drying, pickling, brining,
and preserving from garden and
orchard.
These things were sort of in
terdependent. We enriched the
garden and orchard from the
cow’s droppings. Lush baskets of
chopped turnips and chickweed
from the ricj^ garden made the
milk flow when the pasture was
dear}.’ And burr clover came, early
in the orchard. There we staked
the cow. after she had cleaned up
the honeysuckle vnes on hedge
and ditch bank after frost.

Irrigated cotton at Clemson in
1955 made 357 additional pounds
of seed cotton per acre The year
before, which was really-dry, ir
rigation gave an increase of 1,212
pounds, and the year before, a
moderately dry one, the increase
was 655 pounds of seed cotton per
acre.
First consideration about irri
gation is, do you have the water?
Your county agent and SCS men
can help you determine that. ‘
We normally have about 22
inches of rain, April-September,

IRRIGATING COTTON
Irrigation on cotton paid at

about. 16 inches to make a cot
ton crop during a normal or av
erage season. And experiment
this will
make a fair crop of cotton. But
not a maximum one. For that, at
least 20 inches of rain fairly even
ly distributed is needed here.
Therefore, on a normal season,
we fall about 4 inches short of
enough water for a maximum
was no skimping with it then.
We drank all the milk we could
hold, sweet, buttermilk, and
clabber
One thing we ate a lot, special
ly in the summer time when the
milk would sour and clabber
quick. That was what we called
curd. You might know it as cot
tage cheese We never knew that
name then.
Each morning the clabber that
had formed was poured in a
white floUr sack and hung on
the back porch to drip. We
caught the whey and gave it to
cats, chickens, or pigs. By sup
per time that curd had firmed in
a great heart-shaped lump in the
comer of the bag. Chopped up,
with thick cream stirred in, a
little salt and pepper, and we
had a dish divine. I don’t recall
a bit of it ever being left. In fact,
we all liked it so, it had to be
sort of allowanced firound.

a Friend To Church With You

t'c ,
Into the House of God they have come for spiritual
strength and comfort. The care or sorrow or need which
brought them here is not important. It is important that
the experiences of a lifetime have taught them that God is
their refuge and their strength.
The beauty of faith shines in their, faces, and from this
devout worship they will go forth stronger in spirit.
But faith is not the exclusive possession of age. From
childhood to the grave, man may find hope and comfort
and peace in God. For faith banishes fear, overcomes
difficulties and imparts new life.
In these troubled days, men need religion more than
ever before. In the presence of vast powers hitherto un
known, we may feel frustrated and helpless. Human prob
lems lie heavy upon our spirits. But God is a Rock of Refuge
and Pillar of Strength to those who trust Him. Come to
the House of the Lord
