H-D COLUMN
By ETHEL L. COUNTS
“Egg-s are a bargain package of
food value at any time,” says the nu
tritionist, U. S. Department of Agri
culture. “They are good body build
ers because of the efficient protein
in their yolk and their whites. The
yolks are especially rich in iron—the
mineral that helps to feed red brood
cells. They are an important source
of calcium, another mineral that’s
likely to be low in diets in this coun
try. Eggs are also a rich source of
phosphorus, and are a good source of
riboflavin (vitan'in G). For good
measure, other vitamins are always
present—vitamins A and D varying in
amounts depending on what the hen
had to eat. Modem poultrymen see
to it that their hens are liberally
supplied with vitamins A and D.
“For these reasons,” an egg a day
for everyone in the family is a good
rule to follow. If that isn’t possible,
try to get at least four or five eggs
a week into the diet of every child.
See that adults get at least three or
four eggs a week.
The homemaker who follows the
practice of cooking all egg dishes at
a low temperature is well on her way
to mastering egg-cooking technique.
The delicate protein in eggs becomes
tough when it is cooked for too long
a time or at too high temperatures.
Today’s version of yesterday’s
tough hard-boiled eggs are tender
eggs, hard-cooked in simmering water.
For these, use just enough water to
cover the egg well. Start the eggs
in cold water. Bring the water to
the simmering point and keep it
there for about 30 minutes. For
soft-boiled eggs, simmer for 3 to 5
minutes. Never let the water boil.
The unsightly green line between
the yolk and the white of hard cook
ed eggs can be cut down and often
eliminated by cooking the eggs in
simmering water, then putting them
into cold water immediately.
First rule of egg-poaching success
also is" never let the water boil
while the eggs are in it.” Have the
water deep enough to come up over
the top of the eggs. Break the eggs
just before you poach them. Poach
only topmotch eggs.
For fried eggs, omelets, and scram
bled eggs—keep the heat low under a
thick frying pan. Or scamble in the
top of a double boiler.
Keep soft custards from overcook
ing by stirring them constantly, cook
ing them over hot but not boittng
water, and taking them off the heat
and setting them in cold water as
soon as they coat a spoon. Bake a
custard in a pan of water in a mod
erate oven (350 d. F.). Souffles, angel
food cakes, and sponge cakes need a
very moderate oven, about S25d. F.
Bake fruit whips in a very slow oven
(250d. F.) set in a pan of water.
A troubling problem to some cooks
is how tc get a good pie meringue.
Too high oven temperatiures and the
wrong proportion of sugar to egg
white are two common causes of mer
ingue failure. The Bureau of Home
Economics recommends the following
procedure for a good pie merinque.
Get the eggs out of the refrigera
tor ahead of time, so they will »e at
room temperature by the time they
are to be beaten. Separate the whites
from the yolks carefully so that no
bit of yolk gets into the white. Have
the beater clean—free from egg yolk
or other fat.
Two egg whites are about the
right amount for one pie. Beat the
whites until they take a definite
shape in the bowl and stand up by
themselves in little peaks. The eggs
at this point should be glossy and
moist, and would still flow easily out
of the bowl if you tipped it.
Next, beat in 2 tablespoons of su
gar for each egg white, a few grains
of salt, and a drop of vanilla. Spread
this over the top of the pie to the
edge of the crust. Bake in a moder
ate oven (325d. F.) for 18 to 20
minutes or until the meringue is
light brown.
MARCH FARM CALENDAR
To get ready for a better year in
farming, County Agent P. B. Ezell
makes these better farming sugges
tions for March.
Agronomy
Make, save, and use farm manures
and compost in producing crops. Be
fore buying fertilizer, study carefully
the needs of your soil for plant food
to feed the plants grown on that soil.
Buy materials and mix fertilizer so
that plants will be supplied with food
most needed. Buy fertilizer contain
ing 16 or more units of plant food.
Purchase enough improved seed to
grow your next year’s supply of seed,
to maintain quality production. If
not already sown, sow lespedeza early
in March.
Horticulture
Set out fruit trees if not already
set. Plant raspberies and Blackber
ries any time this month. Prune and
spray fruit trees. Apply spring fer
tilizer to orchards. Plant hardy vege
tables. Begin now making plants to
produce an abundant supply of vege
tables for home use throughout the
year.
Insects and Diseases
Treat cotton seed to prevent damp
ing-off and to obtain better stand.

BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY Of THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY
NEWBERRY COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY
Machine delinting of cotton seed
should be done before and not after
treating with meeury dust. Grow
corn as far as possible from last
year to control billbugs and borors.
Do not plant com adjacent to small
grain in chinch bug area. Control cut
worms with poisoned bran mash.
Dust tobacco plants with dorris dust
to control flea beetles. Plant wilt-
resistant tomatoes and cotton.
Agricultural Engineering
Check over farm machinery for
needed repairs before the rush of the
spring season. Plow terraces before
planting to give them extra width
and height. Repair screens on doors
and windows before the fly season
opens. If you have a smal stream or
other source of water supply on your
farm, investigate the possibilities of
irrigating a small truck patch; irri
gation is good insurance against dry
weather.
EARLY SPRING GUIDE ON CARE
OF LIVESTOCK
Providing for ample foods and pro
per feeding are the most important
matters in attention to livestock in
March, says County Agent P. B. Ezell,
in making spring livestock sugges
tions.
Animal Husbandry
Give brood sows special attention
at farrowing time. Large litters
mean greater profits. Place sows
and young pigs on territory uninfest-
ed with parasitee. Cull out the un
productive sows. Plan to plant some
Biloxi soybeans for hog grazing. Use
barley, rye, and oats for grazing
with beef cattle and hogs. Give the
ewes special care at lambing time.
“Lambing time is the shepherd's har
vest.” Prefer oats to com when mules
start heavy work.
Dairying
Remove milking cows from lightly
onion-infested pastures five hours be
fore milking. Keep cows off of
heavily infested onion pastures. Clean
up lots and haul off Utter to destroy
breeding for flies. Use some acreage
cut from cotton for more food crops.
Silage and legume hay make ideal
roughage for next winter. Plant one-
half acre per cow in pearl millet for
summer grazing. Clear brush and
apply 300 pounds of superphosphate
and one ton of ground limestone per
acre to permanent pastures. Sow
lespedeza on permanent pasture sod
if none is present.
Poultry
Raise baby chicks on new ground.
Provide feed for chicks in clean
troughs or hoppers. Get chicks into
sunshine early. Clean brooder houses
regularly. Plant green feed for sum
mer. Arrange to procure stock; for
flock improvement next season.
BEGAN AT BOTTOM TO
MASTER TRADE
William J. O’Neil, Head of Dodge
Motors, Started His Career as
Apprentice
Detroit, March 1.—“If you’re going
to be in the manufacturing business,
learn it; get down to rock bottom;
learn the mechanic’s trade first . . .”
That’s the advice a hard - headed
Irish lathe operator at the turn of
the century gave to his eighteen-
year-old son, just out of business col
lege but with an intense interest in
things mechanical. The youngster,
William J. O’Neil, had entered the
manufacturing business by way of
the business office of a Milwaukee
company.
Today, probably because he ac
cepted his father’s advice and got a
job as an apprentice at five cents an
hour learning the tool and dde-mak-
ers’ trade. O’Neil is president of the
Dodge division of Chrysler corpora
tion—and a master mechanic.
It long has been a tradition in the
Chrysler organization that its execu
tives are the outstanding workmen in
its factories. Walter Chrysler start
ed as a mechanic, and K. T. Keller,
president of the Chrysler corporation,
is a master mechanic. It was O’Neil’s
mastery of tools that brought him to
the automobile industry: it was his
knowledge of what tools could do that
took him to the top of the oldest div
ision of the Chrysler corporation.
O’Neil is not a pioneer of the au
tomobile industry, but he has contri
buted much to the development of
volume production practices.
Because he knows automobile man
ufacturing from the bench to the
delivery dock, O’Neil speaks authori
tatively on every phase of car and
truck designing and construction. He
talks modestly of his own achieve
ments, but possesses one of the most
alert minds in the manufacturing div
ision of the motor industry.
O’Neil was forty years old when he
came to Detroit to work in the old
Maxwell plant. He was made factory
“trouble Shooter”. When Walter
Chrysler took over Maxwell, the
“trouble shooter” became assistant
superintendent of the rear axle dep
artment, in charge of the tool room.
National defense preparations,
O’Neil says, have made people more
than ever conscious of the important
role that tools play in large scale
production.
“And that triumph of mass pro
duction,” he adds, “is in the uniform
ity and accuracy that make the
machine’s output precisely inter
changeable, of a sameness in shape
and quality permitting quick as
sembly and speedy repair.”
Harry Bedenbaugh and Earl Hutch
inson, members of the coast artillery
Battery C, now stationed at Camp
Stewart, Georgia, spent the weekend
at home.

A NEW CHEVROLET MODEL
Chevrolet dealers throughout the
United States are now displaying the
latest addition to that divisiem’s pas
senger car line—the six-passenger
sedan featuring the new Fleetline
body by Fisher, presented as setting
a new high mark in luxury, comfort
and style.
Mechanically, the new car is iden
tical with other 1941 Special Deluxe
Ohevrolets. It has the 90-horsepower
six-cylinder valve-in-head engine,
knee action, and the famous vacuum
power shift at no extra cost. The
body, however, is entirely new. Its
roominess and richness of appoint
ment make the Fleetline the most lux
urious car ever offered by Chevrolet.
Length and lowness characterize
the new model as viewed from the
side. The body is of the landau
type, with four doors and a closed
rear quarter. Doors are extra wide,
a fact with contributes both to uti
lity and to smart appearance. Rear
doors are hinged at the center pillar
like those of other four-door models
in the Chevrolet line; but rear-door
windows, unlike other four-door mod
el windows, are equipped with venti-
panes. Hinges, both of the doors and
of the rear deck are of the concealed
type.
Stainless steel moulding, along the
edge of the concealed safety steps
whieh replaced conventional running
boards in the 1941 Chevrolet, and also
at the belt line, accentuate length and
lowness and add a pleasing decorative
note. Full chromium reveals are us
ed around door windows, rear window
and windshield.
The impression of beauty and lux
ury conveyed by the new car’s ex
terior is fully borne out in the inter
ior appointments and trim. Specially
woven pin-stripe upholstery is em
ployed throughout, and the door
panels and seat-backs are plaited in
a manner which adds beauty and lux
ury, chromium strips being used to
relieve the expanse of neutral-tinted
fabric. Lavish use of wood-graining
is made in interior metal trim. Mould
ings are walnut-grained and the Pack-
ground if the new “Silverstyl” instru
ment panel is combination maple and
burl walnut grained. Plastics and
chromium are employed as decorative
material on the panel, where instru-
ents and controls are grouped for
maximum driving ease.
The new sedan with Fleetline body
incorporates in addition, the appoint
ments which are regular throughout
the Special Deluxe series. These in
clude robe cord on the back of the
front seat, ash receptables, lighter,
retractive assist-straps, armrests,
clock, and other items.
LONG LANE CLUB OBSERVES
MOTHERS DAY
The members of Long Lane Club
who have cars called for the Mothers
of the community who are not club
members and brought them to the
school to see just how our hot lunches
are served. We were very sorry that
some of the mothers couldn’t come
due to illness.
The dining room was beautifully
decorated with jonquils and fern.
At 1:30 the children marched into
the dining room along with the teach
ers and placed themselves around the
table. The ladies were very much
impressed by the little boy in the
third grade who gave thanks. Mrs.
Longshore, Miss Counts and the
Mothers were served lunch also.
The delicious and well-cooked menu
was prepared ancr serveu by Mrs.
Flower. The menu consisted of
chicken with noodles, dressing, pound
cake, rolls and cocoa.
All the ladies and mothers were
asked to the auditorium where the
meeting was held. The meeting was
called to order by the vice-president,
Mrs. B. H. Caldwell. The devotionals
were conducted by Mrs. R. C. Car
lisle who read verses from th» 6th
chapter of Ephesians, and from the
13th chapter of Romans.
Miss Counts gave us points of in
terest in the “Fix up Clean Up” pro
gram. The picture study of the
month was “In Holland Waters” by
Jean Paul Clays.
A card of sympathy was voted to
be sent to Mrs. Paul Long.
During the recreational period Mrs.
Sease had several interesting games.
Prizes were won by Mrs. Phibbs and
Mrs. Rikard.
Mrs. Queen, Mrs. Glenn and Mrs.
Dickerson were hostesses for the
month.
The next meeting will be April 4th
at 2:30 p. m.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to use this means to ex
press our sincere thanks to the good
people of our community for the many
deeds of kindness shown to us in the
recent illness and death of our be
loved brother, L. D. McMeekin.

FARMERS’ COTTON STAMP
Twenty-five cent stamps like that
above, bound in small, handy books,
will be issued to cotton farmers who
cooperate in the new supplementary
cotton program by making further
reduction in cotton acreage. With
these stamps farmers can purchase
any articles from their local stores.
The books-of stamps will be issued to
each cooperating farmer after his
compliance in the new program is
certified by the county AAA commit
tee. The new program is designed to
help offset effects of lost cotton ex
port, markets, prevent further piling
up of surplus cotton, increase con
sumption of cotton by farm families
themselves ,and further encourage
home food and feed production.
Cotton Council Issues Warning
Against New Trade Acts
Will Make Total War on New Bar
riers Against Cottonseed
Foods
Memphis, Tenn.—Legislative meas
ures providing new prohibitions and
discriminations against cottonseed
products, under consideration during
current state legislative sessions,
will be exposed and branded as un
friendly acts toward the raw cotton
industry, the National Cotton Coun
cil said today. The Council said that
it would undertake whatever steps
which might be necessary to combat
new barriers against cottonseed mar
garine and shortening.
“The Council has endeavored to
communicate the adverse affects of
these trade barriers upon the cotton
industry and has endeavored to dis
courage retaliation inspired by these
discriminations,” declares C. G.
Henry, chairman of the Council’s sec
tion on trade barriers and penalties,
“but in the face of our action new
discriminatory measures have been
introduced for consideration by states
whose products now find a friendly
market in the Cotton Belt.
“The time has come when the raw
cotton industry must recognize these
new attacks on our cottonseed pro
ducts as definitely unfriendly to the
ten million Americans dependent up
on cotton for a livelihood.”
Mr. Henry said that the Council
would consider each piece of state
legislation aimed to injure the cotton
farmer and take whatever action nec
essary to secure its removal. He
stated further that the full force of
the cotton industry would be piaced
behind efforts to remove unfair, fed
eral restrictions against margarine
and other cottonseed feed products.

PREVENT FIRES
But at the same time be prepared for those fires
over which you have no control.
Be sure that your home and your furniture are
amply covered by Fire Insurance.
This is the season of fires—the season when you
are most liable to suffer heavy financial loss unlsss you
are insured.
Those who have never carried Fire Insurance will
be surprised at its low cost. A few dollars invested in
fire insurance will yield a big return in case of fire.
