-County Agent-
Dr. Geoge Alston, our
Extension Agronomist, said at
a Fertilizer Dealers meeting in
Crockett last week that
legumes will be much more
important in our permanent
pastures during the next few-
years. One reason for this he
says, is the fact that you can
produce more total forage with
a lesser amount of fertilizer
with the legume-grass pasture
than with grass only, legumes
add nitrogen to the soil,
resulting in increased grass
production with less nitrogen
fertilizer.
Dr. Alston pointed out that
unless current price relation-
ships change, it will continue to
be cheaper to grow protein in
hay than to but it as a
supplement, even with the
higher fertilizer prices.
Because of higher prices for
fertilizer and lower prices for
beef, it will not be economical
to apply as much fertilizer per
acre on hay meadows, and the
timing of the first application
will be different. Dr. Alston
says that the first application
of complete fertilizer on the
hay meadow should be about
one month before the first
cutting, around the first of may
(a little before or a little after)
for the most producers.
Other speakers at the
meeting indicated that nitro-
gen fertilizer would probably
be in short supply for several
years due to shortage of
production facilities and pos-
sible shortage and high price of
natural gas used in the
manufacture of nitrogen. Phos-
phate supplies are expected to
be generally adequate by 1976.
potash supplies will hinge
greatly on the import situation
with Canada. According to the
Fertilizer Institute, Canadian
potash makes up 65 per cent of
the U.S. consumption.
Some things discussed at this
meeting that producers can do
to make the best of the current
situtation are soil test and use
the recommendations as a
guide, order fertilizer early,

sub-committee, with Mr. Dan

man, met this past week in
Rusk and adopted testing
suggestions and rules for
on-farm testing of Registered
beef bulls that producers may
enter in a proposed All Breed
Sale tentatively planned for
February of 1976. This testing
and sale effort will be an
attempt by this BET sub-
committee to help commercial

ers an outlet for their good
commercial type bulls.

in Panola, Cherokee, Rusk,
Anderson and Houston Coun-
ties that are interested should
contact their County Extension
Agents for information about
the program.
You know, we've seen in
recent months how important
it is to have accurate livestock
estimates. The Crop and
Livestock Reporting Service is
sending out questionaires to a
selected group of livestock and
crop producers. If you get one
of these, fill it out accurately
and mail it back, we'll have
some good estimates to base
future management and pro-
duction decisions upon. If you
fail to do this, we may not get
the accurate estimates you as
a producer can use to best
advantage. These reports are
confidential and are used only
to make the estimates on totals
for County, State, and
National.

Buffet meals are always a
popular form of holiday enter-
taining. but since the food may
stay unrefrigerated longer
than usual, some precautions
are necessary.
If cold meats are part of the
holiday party fare, using
several trays of food instead of
only one keeps them from
standing at room temperature
too long.
Bring out a fresh tray
frequently to replace those
partly used. The meats stay
cold and bacteria do not have a
chance to grow.
The serving dish for shrimp
salad-another preishable item
could be packed in cracked ice.
Or use smaller serving dishes
and refill often from the
refrigerator.
Other party buffet favorites
such as deviled eggs, cheese
and sour cream dips must all
be kept cold also.
For your holiday buffet treat
try this Savory Ham Quiche.
9 inch unbaked pastry shell
U pound Swidd cheese,
shedded (1 cup)
1 tablespoon flour
1 cups diced cooked ham
3 eggs
1 can 13 oz evaporated milk
one third cup water
2 tablespoons thinly sliced
green onions
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
'•i teaspon nutmeg
■4 teaspoon salt
'h teaspoon pepper
Prepare pastry shell using
favorite recipe or packaged
mix. Sprinkle flour over cheese
and mix lightly. Spoon half in
bottom of pastry shell. Top
with diced ham. In medium
size mixing bowl beat eggs
slightly, stir in evaporated
milk, water, onin, parsley,
nutmeg, salt and pepper. Pour
over ham and cheese. Sprinkle
remaining cheese on top. Bake
in preheated moderate oven
(375 degrees F) until a knife
inserted in center comes out
clean, about40 minutes. Cool 5
minutes before cutting and
serving. Makes 6 servings.

CONVERSION TABLES
FOR CANE SUGAR
With the holiday baking
season beginning, home-
makers are searching for ways
to subsitute other sweets for
expensive cane sugar.
Honey, molasses or sor-
ghum, corn syrup and cane
syrup are sweetening agents
that will work as well as white
sugar in baking.
Some general guidelines for
these substitutions will help
homemakers achieve eco-
nomical-and high quality-
goods.
-Honey: For one cup of sugar
in baking, use one cup honey
and reduce liquid one-fourth
cup for each cup of honey used.
If about half the sugar is
retained in a recipe and honey
substituted for the other half, a
better quality product will
result.
In baking, use one-fourth
teaspoon soda for each cup of
honey. This is in addition to
baking powder in the recipe
when honey is substituted for
sugar.
-Molasses or Sorghum: For
one cup sugar, use one and
one-half cups molasses or
sorghum and reduce liquid
one-fourth cup for each cup of
molasses and sorghum used.
-Corn Syrup: For one cup of
sugar, use two cups corn syrup
and reduce liquid one-fourth
cup for each cup of corn syrup
used.
-Cane Syrup: One and
one-half cups of cane syrup is
equal in sweetness to one cup
of cane sugar.
In cakes and cookies, replace
sugar with syrup, measure for
Cherokee County Bar Assn.
Recognized for Assistance
In State Building Project
The Cherokee County Bar
Association has received re-
cognition for being first to
participate 100 per cent in the
State Bar's campaign to
finance a new six-story Law
Center headquarters office.
"Cherokee County lawyers
have set an example for the
remainder of the 25,000
lawyers of Texas to follow,"
said Lloyd Lochridge, State
Bar of Texas president
Lochridge sent congratulations
to the Bar Association through
county campaign chairman
William M Holland of Rusk
"I am proud lo announce
measure, and reduce liquid
one-third. Cakes and cookies
made with corn and cane sy-
rups are not as sweet as when
sugar is used.
"Don't pass up oranges with
a greenish tinge," Mrs.
Gwendolyne Clyatt, consumer
marketing information
specialist with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice, the Texas A&M Univer-
sity System, advised.
"Greenish-looking oranges
are the ripest fruit of all, and
they're green because of a
phenomenon known as 're-
greening -due to a return of
chlorophyll to the sin during
warm weather."
Consumer Watchwords: Nuts
are half shell-and half nut
meat, with few exceptions.lt
takes about two pounds of nuts
in the shell to make one pound
of nut meats.
So, if already-shelled nuts
cost more than twice the price
of unshelled nuts, the unshelled
nuts are less expensive.

1. Keeping your home too warm
wastes fuel, increases
operating costs. Set
thermostat for a moderate
temperature and leave it
there.
2. Close draperies at night to
keep heat inside. Open them
during the day to let sunshine
in to help warm the house.
3. When fireplace is not in use,
keep damper closed to
prevent warm air from
escaping up the chimney.
4. Have house properly
insulated. Keeps heat in. Cuts
your fuel bill.
5. Keep weather stripping
around doors ana windows in
good shape to prevent loss
of warm air.
