TOFU A GOOD SUBSTITUTE
Tofu, an inexpensive meat
substitute that works great in
lasagna and casseroles, is not just
for vegetarians, said Jill D.
FTonger, County Extension Agent-
Home Economics. Four ounces, or
just about 80 calories worth of the
soybean curd, contain 200
milligrams of calcium (25 percent of
the recommended dietary
. allowance), plenty of protein, a fair
amount of iron, no cholesterol, and
only a trace of sodium. And while
tofu is rather high in fat, like many
protein sources, most of that fat is
polyunsaturated.

federal marketing orders or other
regulations Most products,

Dwayne Bair, president of the
statewide Texas Citrus & Vegetable
Association, said, "Our membership
is now extremely confident in the
inspection service. Now with the
new cooperative agreement
creating an oversight council, it will
be truly a non-political and a non-
profit program. This is going to
benefit not only the producers who
pay for the service, but also the
consumer by assuring them of a
consistant flow of quality products
at no additional inspection costs.”

Spring has arrived and many of

type or another. Frequently,
gardeners will use pesticides to help
control the presence of pests that
can destroy a garden, but it is
important to remember that
pesticides can also injure or kill
people.
There are several safety
precautions that you should exercise
if you plan to use pesticides.
Because pesticide residues cannot
always be seen, you should cover as
much of your skin as possible when
planning to use them. Wear long
sleeves, pants, hat, socks and shoes
or boots and gloves that can be
properly cleaned. Wash with soap
and water and shampoo your hair
after using pesticides. Wash your
clothes with detergent and hot water
before wearing them again and
make sure to wash your clothes
separately from other laundry. I
