A MUST’ IN THE FOOD DIET.
One whole grain cereal each
day is a “must” in the diet, ac-
cording to Frances Reasonover,
foods and nutrition specialist
with the Texas A.&M. College
Extension Service. Cereals help
build strong bodies, she ex-
plains, but a more popular
point in their favor is their
economy.
Miss Reasonover adds, how-
ever, that cereals are economi-
cal only if the homemaker buys
wisely. Read the labels, she
cautions. All labels must
have the brand, name of the
product and ingredients, name
of manufacturer, and the net
contents. Additional informa-
tion’ sometimes includes the
amount of niacin, riboflavin,
calciufn, and other nutrients
included. If the cereal has
enriched, this is usually indi-
cated on the label.
Ufoeok yourself, says Mis-
Reasonover, for the quality
and nutritive value of the
whole grain cereal as well as
the price. The weight of
packaged cereals should be
noted. The specialist points-
out that cereals that need to
be cooked are usually lower
priced than prepared cereals,
and if they are bought in large
size containers even more sav-
ing can»be realized.
Commissioner Of
Agriculture Urges
Fight on Bollworm
, AUSTIN, Texas, April 23.—
John C. White. Texas commi t
sioner of agriculture, today
called for the most stringent
.measures against the pink
boll worm, which has been call-
ed the cotton industry’s Ene-
my No. 1.
The Worm today infests 171
Texas counties. Forty-four of
dhese are new infestations, re-
corded last year when a wet
summer and an extended ploW-
up deadline in the Coastal
Bend hindered control work.
The pest costs farmers mil-
lions of dollars a year by de-
stroying cotton and lowering-
grades. The farmers’ expense
in infested- areas is increased
because of tleatnfent r^qtiircd
at the gin to prevent spread of
the “pink peril.”
Commissioner White said
that the answer to the pink
bollworm menace is early
plow-up of cotton stalk.C This,
method works, he explained,
because the insect cannot live
unless there are cotton or okj;a
stalks upon which it can fevd.
It can live on nothing else, and
if these two plants are de-
stroyed after the crop is made,
it starves.
Early plowing of fields is al-
ways successful in fighting the
pink bollworm, White said.
He added tlmt plowing ilb is
also good cultiifaLftractide be-
cause it helps to destroy botl
