Food Is Simple
By MRS. VELMA SLAUGHTER
Home Demomstratiom Agent
Now is the time to stock the
freezer with a fresh supply of
doves and other game birds.
It's a simple process . . . Draw
birds as soon as possible after
they have been shot. If there
isn't time to do a thorough job
of cleaning and dressing, remove
the craw and intestines. Chin
promptly.
Plucking the birds is preferable
to skinning them. Skinning causes
dryness and some loss of flavor.
Wash birds thoroughly before
packaging.
Wrap individually in moisture-
vapor proof material. Cellophane,
aluminum foil, pliofilm and dif-
ferent kinds of laminated wrap-
ping papers are satisfactory. Seal
with freezer tape. Label with
name and date. To maintain top
quality, store birds et 0 degrees
F. or below. From six to nine
months is recommended storage
period. Thaw birds before cook-
ing.
Make the most of the dove sea-
son. Treat family and friends to
a variety of dove dishes.
Wild birds have food value equal
to that of domestic ones. They
have a flavor that to unusual and
exciting as well.
Most wild birds are tougher than
domestic ones, so special prepara-
tion should be done. There are
many recipes to choose from.
Here are two for your consider-
ation.
...... Braised Doves ......
Salt and pepper the doves and
dredge in flour or a combination
of flour and corn meal. Heat
fat piping hot in dutch oven.
Brown birds quickly on both
sides. Remove most of the fat,
add a small amount of water,
cover and simmer for one hour
over low heat. Serve hot.

Storing Summer Clothes
Right storage will increase the
, life of summer clothing. Here
are some suggestions for keep-
ing out-of-season clothing in good
condition until next summer-
Mend any ripped seams. tears,
loose buttons or other damages.
A few stitches can eave the life
of a garment
Wash or dry clean all garments
before storing.
Store cottons snd linens un-
ironed. Make certain all starch
is removed. It can cause fabric
to deteriorate and may attract
silverfish.
Dry garments thoroughly and
store them in a dry place to pre-
vent mildew.
Store in large boxes or trunks
to make room in closets for fall
clothing. Label each box with
list of articles stored Inside to
simplify job of finding garments
when needed.
Care of Steam Irene
For best performance from
your steam iron. use soft water,
and keep the iron clean and dry
when not in use.
To dry the reservoir quickly,
empty the tank after each use and
plug the iron back into the out-
let for a few minutes.
If minerals accumulate, put a
mixture of vinegar and water
'half and hair into the reservoir.
Heat for about 30 minutes at 300
F. After the iron cools, flush
the reservoir several times with
clear water.
In charge AU men and women in-
terested in agricultural problems
are invited to come. Watch the
paper for further announcement
of the meeting.
Sometimes we're tempted to
think these community meetings
don't count for much. But all over
the nation these meetings make
the Farm Bureau policies for coun-
ties. states, and even the nation.
Such problems as price supports,
flexible or rigid, are threshed out.
Farmers are being blamed for
selfish insistence on farm sub-
sidies. It is necessary to point out
that over the nation only 22 per
cent of farm product come under
the support plan. Here in our own
Texas only 44 per cent do. So
farmers' selfishness certainly can't
be a valid reason for our agricul-
tural mess.

discussed is Social Security. Many

cannot say that all of the calves are
aired by proven high gaining bulls.
With the interest being shown at
this time, by commercial cattle-
men. in purchasing proven high
gaining bulls this spring, it looks
as if we will see the same type
of shortage on proven high gain-
ing bulls.
The proven high gaining bulls
available from the performance
test at Balmorhea. Bluebonnet and
Pan Tech Farms, will not be
enough to satisfy the market. If
ranchers who sell bulls to com-
mercial cattlemen would like to
increase their market and the price
per bull, a farm test on ability to
gain will give them that oppor-
tunity.
A conservative estimate on the
increase in selling price of proven
high gaining bulls, as shown in last
year s Pan Tech tested bull sale,
is that the selling price can be
doubled over what untested bulls
of the same conformation are sell-
ing for. Farmers and ranchers
should remember that while high
gaining bulla will sell at a pre-
mium. those low gaining bulls may
be hard to sell.
The method of performance test-
ing young bulls is shown in the
bulletin No. B 809. on page 8. The
amount of extra time required to
measure actual gain over a 140
day feeding period will vary ac-
cording to availability of scales.
If you have to haul your young
bulls to the scales or arrange fori
a portable one, it would be more
trouble and expense. The bull:
calves should be between seven
and thirteen months of age when
the tests start.
These tests can be supervised
in many cases by the county agri-
cultural agent and used as county
demorstrations. Most ranchers pre-
fer an average of two weights tak-
en on consecutive days for begin-
ning and ending weight. If possi-

The move was the first Beason
baa made since be promised last
week to do something concrete
about skidding farm prices. The
Agriculture Department reported
earlier this month that farm prie-
es have declined 4 per cent so far
this year. Hog prices led the drop.
Benson said he "instructed the
Department of Agriculture to take
immediate steps to the use of ap-
propriate machinery to improve the
bog price situation.
"These plans will supplement the
efforts already underway to coop-
erate with and co-ordinate a pork
promotion campaign now being so
successfully carried on by the whole
industry. from the farm to the
retail store,” ba said
"Two years ago we faced a simi-
lar price situation on beef,” Ben-
son said. "Our efforts to stabilize
the beef industry have greatly in-
creased beef consumption. We are
determined to make a careful ap-
praisal of the possible need for
similar direct actions...to help hog
producers."
The government bought, up beef
to help relieve the glut of lower
grades at beef and strengthen the
market Benson said on his return

for hogs.

The following information should
be of interest to all beef cattle
breeders in the area and is being
passed on to you through this
channel with the hope that it will
focus some attention to the matter.
I will be happy to discuss the pro-
gram with any of the breeders in-
terested in it. This news comes
from Mr. L. A. Maddox Jr., asso-
ciate county agent working in the
Panhandle area of Texas.
The bulletin, “Performance as
a Guide to Beef Herd Selection,”
No. B 809, has been printed and is
being distributed to county agri-
cultural agents at this time. Farm-
ers and ranchers can secure copies
of this publication at the agent’s
office or by writing the Agricul-
tural Information Office, College
Station. Texas.

national last year, request for
feeder calves and yearlings sired
by high gaining bulls has been far
ahead of our ability to furnish
them. There have been requests
for around 8,000 head of these
calves and yearlings, but it is al-
most impossible to find them in
large numbers.
Most of the bulls have been sold

from Comanche, San Saba. Me-

ly following the judging of the
gilts will be the judging of the
Sears boars from the same coun-
ties.
The 4-H Club members from
Brown County that will compete
in the show are Don Newman and
Troy Pallette from May; Jack
Lester at Owens, who has the
boar; Garland Middleton, Jimmy
Woods, and Clifford Green at

bit, the farmer or rancher should
weigh the cattle every twenty-
eight days so he will have a check
on his feed and feeding practices.
Although the ration suggested in
the bulletin is a growing ration
high in roughage and balanced
ration would do. If you are already
feeding your bulls through the
winter, records on their gain could
make the higher gaining one sell
for considerably more money.
When Pan Tech Farms reported
in 1954 a difference of thirty-eight
pounds in the weight of weaning
calves sired by high and low gaining
bulls, many people felt that the
difference was too much and stay-
ed with the theory that weaning
weights were 90 percent milk pro-
duction.
The July 7 issue of the West
Texas Livestock Weekly contained
a report on the work at Ft, Reno
by the Oklahoma Experiment Sta-
, tion. They found that calves sired
by one bull weaned nearly thirty-
five pounds heavier than calves
sired by another bull.
The use of proven high gaining
bulls will give ranchers an oppor-
tunity to increase their income
with increases in weaning weights
as well as the price per pound
the calves sell for.
Starting next month, we will
outline the program of a different
rancher each month. With these
value of swine on the farm and
must also have sufficient facilities
to take care of a gilt in order to
be eligible to receive a Sears gilt
After he receives his gilt he
must feed and take care of her
and enter her in the county show
where be is eligible for some prize
money. If the boy wins first in
the county then he must show
again the winning pigs in other
counties for the prize money that
ta put up by Sean for that area.
After showing their pigs the
boys continue to feed -and take
care of them and when the gilt
farrows in the spring and the pigs
are weaned the boy pays back a
gilt pig and this pig is then given
to another member and the pro-
gram is kept going.
At weaning time all the litters
of pigs are weighed and the
weights sent to the district agents
who determine the winners of the |
heavy litter contest. The money
that the boys win in prize money
usually goes back into their swine
projects.
