B ffTiYIBI I N THESE days of rationing ths cook’s best friend is her casse role. Infinite combinations of sim ple foods acquire an insouciant charm when served Ven casserole,” preserving all the flavor of meats and vegetables or offering leftovers in new guise. Aside from this casseroles are definite time savers in these busy days. • They save sooking time, serving up time\ and -washing up time, coming to the table in the same dish in which they are cooked. Since they can be pre pared hours before cooking casse role meals appear.like magic at meal time and requit'e no last min ute fussing over a hot stove. •Baoaose casseroles are usu ally made of earthenware, glass or copper they stay hot for a long time. This makes it possible to nerve food piping hot on the porch or in the gar- dec and to keep it hot until eaten. * All casseroles need care. Sudden, axtreme changes ef temperature should be avoided. Don’t pour cold water into a hot casserole and don’t put a hot casserole down on a wet spot. It’s a good idea to heat the casserole slowly. In oth er words, don’t put a chilled cas serole from the refrigerator into a hot oven, put the casserole into a cold oven find heat gradually. Since casserole dishes combine meat and vegetable, a salad, bread stuff and beverage will complete the menu. If a dessert can be man aged, so much the better. Casserole of eggs and spinach is easy on ration points. I Egg* and Spinach ten CaJeeraC* } Four eggs, 1VI cup» cooken sp o : ach, 6 tablespoons grated chece. j V4 cup Bechamel sauce, butter er margarine, salt. Season spinach with salt and buv ) ter and put in cassexole, making four small hollows for eggs. Sprin- | kle with 4 tablespoons grated cheese. Put an egg into each hot-' low. Cover each egg with Becham- j el sauce, sprinkle with remaining! cheese. Cover casserole and bake, in a moderate oven (375 degree* F.) until eggs are set. It will take about 80 minutes. Bechamel sauce is a medium white sauce made with half milk and half chicken broth. Chicken broth can be made by dissolving a chicken bouillon cube in water. With potatoes at a premium this casserole of lamb and barley may appeal to you. Casserole of Lamb and Barley One pound lamb shoulder, V& cup barley, 2 oranges, 2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram, salt and pepper. Soak barley in cold water for one hour. Then pour one quart of salted boiling water over barley and simmer for 30 minutes. Cut lamb in two inch squares, season with salt and pepper and brown quickly in fat in a frying pan. Cut oranges in slices, remove seeds but do not peel. Combine barley, or anges and meat, seasoning with herbs. Turn into a well-greased casserole, cover tightly and bake half an hour in a moderate oven (375 degrees XJ. Serve from cas- R'lrole. G.I. Eating Wonder Pfc. Chester J. (“Stomach”) Sal vator!, pictured at Atlanta, Ga., as he put his appetite to work on his meal at a cafeteria, doing away with seven orders of fried chicken, ten orders of french fried potatoes, nine glasses of orange juice, two quarts of milk, five egg salads, two glasses of iced coffee, two slices of watermelon, five sliqes of ap ple pie ala mode and ten combina tion salads. Nothing for “the stom ach” to eat thirty army pork chops at one meal. -X- Good Farming Hints For July Attention Better farming suggestions for July by County Agent G. W. Bon- nette show no letup for the good- farmer. Agronomy When field work slacks up, haul in grain straw, leaves, swamp grass, and litter for the compost heap. Sow cowpeas, soybeans, or velvet beans now and they will make growth to turn under for soil building. If the acreage or prospective summer forage crop is not suffi cient for farm needs, plant addi tional acreage after thorough preparation of soil. Plan for grazing during a pos sible late summer drought. Get peanut stackpoles and cross pieces ready. Horticulture Grow plenty - of vegetables in gardens for canning adequate sup ply for home use next winter. Pull sweet corn shortly before meal time or before canning; it loses its sugar rapidly. Place fruits and vegetables in the shade at once after harvest ing to hold their quality and vita mins. Make plantings of tomatoes for a fall crop. Dig early sweet potatoes for early sale when yields are 50 to 75 bushels per acre. Don’t let the Victory garden lag; keep up the plantings. Insects and Diseases Keep up the weevil fight. Spot cotton fields where wilt losses are present. Fight the housefly by all avail able means. Examine banded apple trees ev ery 10 days and destroy codling moth larvae. Control Mexican bean beetle with derris or cryolite dust or spray. Destry dodder in lespedeza. Watch for screwworms. Requeen bees. Use Extension Bulletin 102. Gar- ien and Truck Crop Insects, to help fight the pests. Agricultural Engineering Have trench, double box, or oth er type of silo ready when sild&e is ripe. Waste crankcase oil aids in rust prevention when used on plows discs, and other bright parts of farm machinery. Check over farm machinery and order needed repair parts. Get the mower in good running •'ondition for the hay season. Plan to water the Victory par- len this fall, using the well, mall streams, or other available sc- ces of water supply; see count- a- gents for information on grrlen irrigation.

OPA District Director E. H. Tal bert announced yesterday in Co lumbia Jhat Airplane Stamp No. 4 in War Ration Book No. 3 would becopie valid as a shoe stamp on August 1. Airplane Stamps Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are valid indefinitely, he added. It was pointed out that the in tervals between validation of stamps depends on the available sunoly of shoes. The last stamp OPA validated was on November 1, 1944. To increase the serviceability of non-rationed shoes for men and juveniles, OPA further announced that in the future, manufacturer^ will be permitted to use leather welts and lightweight leather in soles. Straight or short shield tips and backstays of pigskin leather will also be allowed on these shoes, OPA said. Winter Clothing. Working together closely, OPA has announced with the War Pro duction Board that steps are be ing taken to put more low priced knit cotton and woolen clothing on the nation’s counters before winter comes, it was disclosed yes terday in Columbia by E. H. Tal bert, District OPA Director. Manufacturers, to obtain pri orities, must submit their produc tion schedules on items in the pro gram showing they will pjpduce the same proportionate quantity of each price line that they did in the base period. Petroleum In The Pacific. District OPA Director Talbert revealed yesterday ...in Columbia the first exact figures showing the staggering consumption of petroleum in the Pacific war — a total of 8,400,000 MORE gallons daily than were used on both ma jor fronts prior to V-E day. “It would take one million gal lons of gasoline daily to power the cars on the nation’s roads today if gasoline rationing should be dropped,” Talbert deefared. “That means that our increased use in the Pacific is taking eight and one-half times more every day than we would use to power non- rationed automobile driving in America. The Director pointed out that most local boards had “great run’ on gasoline recently when the basic allotments were upped. “Much of this was asked for by people who did not need it but who had the mistaken idea that the gasoline crisis was past,” he said. “Unless we all cooperate to limit our driving, another cut may be necessary. One look at the fig ures I have mentioned should con vince anyone why we still be careful.” More Refrigerators And Washing Machines. CPA officials have been inform ed by the War Production Beard that more than one-quarter mil lion priorities have been granted for the manufacture of domestic refrigerators and almost 150,000 for domestic washing machines. tatoes it was disclosed to the pub E.

O UR domestic supplies of fats and oils will be approximately one and one-half billion pounds less than last year. Yet thou sands of tons are still needed to help make countless essentials for the battle- and home-fronts. We country people must remember that because of the meat situation, we are in a better position to save fats than city folks. That’s why we can’t afford to miss a trick! So let’s save not only the big amounts from frying and roast ing, but also meat trimmings and plate scraps. Melt them down and add the liquid fat to the salvage can. Skim soups and gravies. Every drop is important. When your salvage can is full, take it to your butcher and get 2 red points and up to 4^ for each pound. If you have any diffi culty, call your County Agent or Home Demonstration Agent. 100,000,000 More Pounds of Used Fats Are Needed This Year! Approved by W FA and OPA.
