“GO TO SCHOOL” IS
!PLEA OF SEVERAL
! FEDERAL AGENCIES
Why Farmers Should
Buy & Keep War Bonds
by R. R. Renne
President
Montana State College
Because of a war-caused shrink-
age in the nation’s high school
population until it is now back to
the levels of 1934, a national “Go-
to-School Drive” is being spon-
sored by tihe Children’s Bureau oi
the Department of Labor and the
Office of Education of the Federal
Security Agency, in cooperation
with the Office of AYar Informa-
tion and with the endorsemnt of
the War Manpower Commission.
Three million young people of
(high school age now are workng
full or part time in this country.
Jobs have been the big reason the
young people have not gone on to
high school. The lure of big money
has been a factor. Other factors—
desire to help the Nation, to help
an employer, and to help the fam-
ily—all play a prominent part in
keeping young people out of tihe
schools.
HINTS FOR HOMEMAKERS

HAM IN HAMBURGERS
Cook ham thoroughly before ad-
ding it to a hamburger mixture.
This is the advice of most cookery
specialists of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, especially to out-
door cooks. Because ham or other
pork adds extra flavor to hambur-
gers, a mixture of chopped beef
and ham with chopped onions and
other seasonings is a favorite for
campfire meals.
A7ery often picnickers like their
hamburgers rare. In any case it is
difficult to be sure of thorough
cooking over the uneven heat of an
open fire especially in the evening
whn the cooking must he done by
poor light. All pork, cured or fresh
must be cooked well done to be
safe, though beef may be eaten
rae. This can be arranged by cook-
ng ham or other pork before mix-
ing it with the raw ground beef
and seasonings. About a third as
inuhc ham as beef makes an appe-
tizinz hamburger.
PAN TENDER VEGETBLES
One of the easiest and best 'ways
of cooking very tender vegetables
is often overlooked by the home
cook. Panning, says the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, saves
time, flavor, food value and fuel,
and is an excellent way to cook
very tender young vegetables.
Thinly sliced green beans, shred-
ded cabbage, spinach, summer
squash cut in small pieces, or sli
ced okra are favorites for panning.
By this method the vegetables stew
in their own juices with just e-
nough fat for food seasoning but
no added water. A heavy frying
pan with a close cover to hod in
steam is the utensil for panning.
For each quart of vegetables,
washed and prepared for panning,
allow two tablespoons of fat. Melt
the fat in the pan, add the vege-
table, cover the pan, and cook
slowly until tender but not mushy.
Now and then sti to keep the vege-
table from sticking to the pan.
AVhen tender, season with salt and
pepper.
Drippings from beef, bacon, sau
sage, salt pork or ham are all good
fats to use fro panning vegetables.
Butter or other table fat, even
salad oil may be used. To give ex-
tra flavor, a little chopped onion
or parsley may be cooked along
with the" vegetable. A few drops
of lemon juice or vinegar may be
added just before serving.
Milk, slightly thickened, is an-
other good seasonng for panned
vegetables. IWhen the vegetable
has cooked tender, sift a little
flour over it, mix well, add milk,
and stir until thickened, then sea-
son with salt and pepper and serve
TJUILDING
J3 paying of! debts, helping
financial reserves,
_ ___ ____ _ _ to
fight dangerous inflation, and pa-
triotism, are all good reasons why
farmers should buy and hold War
Bonds.
A good financial reserve is an
important part of sound farm
management. War Bonds are safe
investments and are almost as
liquid as cash. Thus, they com-
prise an excellent financial re-
serve for unexpected needs and
emergencies. After the last war
prices fell rapidly, as they have
after every major war, and thou-
sands of American farmers lost
their farms because they could not
weather the economic storm. No
other factor is more essential for
continued satisfactory farm opera-
tions, through good years and bad,
than adequate financial reserves.
In addition to unexpected needs
for emergencies, farmers need
adequate reserves to finance re-
pairs, replacements and improve-
ments around the farm. Difficul-
ties in obtaining needed materials
and labor for these expenditures
cause farm buildings and equip-
ment to wear out faster during
ithe war period than in peacetime.
If .farmers can wait until some-
time after the war ends to make
these .repairs and improvements,
their dollars should go farther than
they will immediately following
Jhe war, and better quality ma-
terials will probably be available.
Moreover, too rapid or forced
cashing of War Bonds immediate'
ly after the war could create a
serious situation and contribute to
post-war inflation. Also, holding
Bonds to maturity makes it possi-
ble for the farmer to increase his
investment by one-fourth through
accumulated interest. Still anoth-
1 er reason for having a good re-
serve in the form of War Bonds is
that funds will be available for
the boys when they return, to as-
sist them in getting established in
peacetime pursuits.
Many farmers still nave
long-term mortgage debt out-
standing against their proper-
ty. Investment in War Bonds
now makes it possible for the
farmer to help finance the war
and at the same time accumu-
late the funds which will en-
able him to liquidate his debt
in a lump sum after the war.
Systematic purchase of War
Bonds furnishes a very orderly
and sure way of accumulating
the necessary funds for liqui-
dation of debt that requires
large lump sums for settle-
ment.
The extremely heavy expendi-
tures required to carry on modern
total war creates high purchasing
power, which combined with short-
ages of materials and labor, cause
serious inflationary threats. Most
farmers can remember the very
high prices which occurred during
the last war and the very low
prices and depression which fol-
lowed. With the present scale of
operations much greater than dur-
ing the first war, it is imperative
that widespread inflation in gener-
al prices and in land be prevent-
ed. Using surplus funds to pur-
chase War Bonds helps reduce in-
flationary pressure in commodity
markets and, at the same time,
helps finance the war.
Building financial reserves, pay-
ing off debts and fighting inflation,
comprise adequate reasons for
buying War Bonds. However,
there is still another major reason
why farmers should invest in War
Bonds until it hurts and this is the
patriotic reason. We are engaged
in a very serious struggle to pre-
serve democracy and our way of
life. The sooner we can win this
war the fewer lives of our sons
and daughters will be lost. Our
youth are making great sacrifices
on the battlefronts all over the
world, and it is up to each one of
us on the homefront to give all we
have. Large sums of money are
needed for winning the war and if
we will all buy War Bonds to the
limit of our resources voluntarily,
we can help finish the war at an
early date.

CALLS FOR SHIPYARD
WORKERS URGENT
Fifty thousand additional ship-
yard workers are needed to meet
the ship construction needs for
European and Far Eastern opera-
tions, Vive Admiral Emory S.
Land, chairman of the U. S. Mar-
itime Commission and War Ship-
ping Administration, announced.
“Every man or woman who is able
to work in a shipyard, and not at
present employed in essential war
work, should report at once to the
nearest U. S. Employment Service
office for enrollment in this essen-
tail work,” he said.
A call for qualified nurses to
work in Veterans Administration
Hospitals to help provide care for
disabled veterans has been issued
by the Veterans Administration.
Hospitals are classified in three
groups—General Medical and Sur-
gical, Tuberculosis, and Neuro-
Psychiatric. Nurses work 8-lhour
day shifts, six days per week, with
rotating shifts and additional com-
pensation for overtime. Living ac-
commodations may be obtained at
the hospitals.

PREVENTING FATIGUE
The really tiring job is not in
washing, sterilizing, filling, sealing
and storing the jars—it’s in the
way the work is done. By way of
explanation very few homemakers
have: ,.
1. Convenient working centers
with properly arranged equipment
—and sufficient enuipment.
2. Correct, heights for working
surfaces; when sitting as well as
standing.
3. Comfortable clothing espec-
I iallv shoes.

Corn—Home-Canned
To Keep!
"Corn, a favorite food of man,
beast, and bacteria, is the victim of
defense propaganda and I am not
talking about war." Gladys Kim-
brough. Home Service Director of
Ball Brothers Company, made the
above statement and went on to ex-
plain, “Persons who refuse to take
the time and trouble to understand
corn, defend their canning failures
by claiming that it refuses to keep.
The truth is, corn is more than will-
ing to be canned, but is doomed to
spoilage unless right tactics are
used, because it has no acid to pro-
tect it against the invasion of bac-
teria. Tactics? Why,” says Miss
Kimbrough, “they can be summed
up in one sentence: i. e., learn what
is to be done, begin at the right
time, keep things moving, and turn
on the heat”
The first thing to be done is to
get jars, lids, rubbers, and canner
ready. If you have no pressure cook-
er, get along with a water-bath can-
ner. Examine every jar and lid to
see that it is in good condition—re-
member glass top seals and two-
piece metal vacuum seal caps won’t
work unless the top edges of the
jars are perfect. Wash everything
clean; cover jars, glass lids and
zinc caps with luke-warm water and
put on the stove to heat. Coyer
vacuum seal lids and rubbers with
boiling water and leave until need-
ed. When everything is ready,
gather the corn—bring in no more
than needed for one canner full.
Keep in mind that canning too much
too late .is a common cause of spoil-
age. Place the com on a board
and use a strong sharp knife to cut
the husks (shucks to you in the Mid-
dle West and South) off at each end
just where the corn begins and ends.
There shouldn’t be any worms if
you have followed Victory garden
directions, but if there are worms
in the tassel end, cut deep enough
to leave them with the husks. The
husks will come off easily and bring
most of the silks with them.
Examine every ear of com and
use only those having plump, glossy,
juice-filled kernels. Remove all
silks; rinse the com and cut it from
the cob. One or more cuttings may
be made, but scrapings should not
be used unless processing can be
done in a pressure cooker, because
the scrapings make a thick mass
that heats through slowly. Coyer
the com with boiling water, using
about half as much water as com;
cook five minutes; then pour imme*
diately into clean, hot jars. A gen-
erous amount of water helps the
com heat through quickly and aids
in preventing its sugar from carmel-
izing and causing a brownish color.
Add one teaspoon salt to the quart
and seal jars according to manu-
facturer's directions. Then put into
the canner and process.

quicker the jars can Be heated
through, the more certain the de-
struction of bacteria. Process pints
and quarts 70 minutes at 10 pounds
pressure or by boiling 3Vs hours in
hot-water bath. Remove the jars
from the canner as promptly as pos-
sible after processing; finish sealing
all jars that require rubber rings;
set jars as far apart as possible on
folded newspaper or cloth so they
can cool quickly, but be sure they
are not where a breeze will strike
them. ; , ^
The jars should be examined after
twelve hours in order to make sure
they are sealed. To do this, re-
move bands from glass top seals
and metal vacuum seal caps (leave
the bands off when the jars are put
away). Test the glass top seals by
pulling gently on the lids with the
finger tips. Vacuum seals are tested
by pressing down on them with the
fingers—if sealed, they won’t move
under this pressure. “Lightning”
type are tested by holding upside
down and watching for leaks. There
won’t be any leaks if instructions
are followed and there won’t be any
spoilage if you keep in mind that
Vigilance means Victory. Further-
more, you will never know how good
canned corn can be until you have
tasted your own home-canned brand

Three out of four women expect
to can fruit and vegetables at
home this season, according to a
nation-wide survey reported by
the Office of AVar Information.
Canned peas, -tomatoes and aspar-
agus were restored to rationing by
OPA after supplies on hand had
sold rapidly, making room for the
new pack. Civilian supplies of
peas, tomatoes and asparagus are
expected to be 20 per cent smaller
during the current pack year than
duing tihe pack year ended July 1.
To help pack the curent fruit and
v egetable crop, 700,000 full-time
and 1,400,000 part-time workers
must be recruited, the AVar Man
Power Commission says. Because
of the dependency of overseas ser-
vice men on canned fruits and veg-
etables it is imperative that these
foods be made available to them.
Kerosene use on the home front
must be reduced whereevr possible
this year because of the trmendous
and increasing consumption of
kerosene in vital war fuels. Diesel
engines use a fuel a portion of
which has been diverted from the
manufacutre of kerosene. Diesel
fuel oil, made of approximately
one-third kerosene fractions, pow-
ers bulldozers, Diesel trucks, cat-
erpillar tractors, construction ma-
chinery, dock and yard locomo-
tives, every American submarine
