Fresh Fruits Lend
Flavor To Dishes
Appropriate for Spring
Fruits are taken for granted as an introduction to a meal or
for dessert, but you are neglecting a culinary bet if you do
not use them in other dishes as well. Here are ways to use
fresh fruits in the traditional manner and some hints for add-
ing flavor to the main dish of the meal.
Apple Delight

sprinkle generously with sugar;
top with whipped cream.
Breakfast Cereal with Apples
Top dry cereal with apples par-
ed very thin, cover with a gen-
erous sprinkling of brown sugar
and pour cream over all as a
delicious note in breakfast dish-
es. Apple sauce may be used in-
stead of the raw fruit if desired.

1 li teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
% cup shortening

Using one-third of the pastry at
a time roll into rectangular shape
pieces 1- by 7 to 8 inches and
about the usual thickness for a
pie. Cut in <1 inch strips the length
of the pastry. Wrap each apple
section with a strip of the dough,
winding so edges overlap. Pinch
dough securely together at each
end. Fry in deep hot fat for
i about 10 minutes or until golden

FARMERS FACE
CROP PROBLEM
CLOSED MARKETS AND
BA KT E R THREATEN
WORSE SERBIA'S
Ka-Choo!-!-!
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 31
—Foreign markets closed by the
European war and the spread of
the barter system threaten to sad-
dle American farmers with one of
their worst surplus problems in
recent years, despite production
restrictions imposed under federal
crop control programs.
Administration farm officials,
deeply concerned over the out-
look, are searching at home and
abroad for possible new outlets
for crops which normally would
be sold to European belligerents
and to neutrals cut off from A-
merican supplies because of
blockade and other trade barriers.
The Agriculture Department
predicts American farm exports
will be reduced almost a third
this year.
Normal yields of major crops
this season would materially in-
crease surpluses of cotton, corn,
wheat, tobacco, lard and many
other products.
The prospects of such produc-
tion. and the shrinkage in foreign
markets already is depressing
farm prices. Grains have suffered
sensational declines and cotton
has lost ground since German
troops moved into the Low Coun-
tries and France.
The barter system, once con-
fined to German trading opera-
tions, has been spreading to all
Europe, even to the Allies, Agri-
culture Department officials said.
Small European countries recent-
ly brought under German control
are not only shut off from A-
merican markets by the Allied
blockade but by the German bar-
ter method as well.
The British and French were
said to have adopted a modified
form of barter with South Ameri-
can countries.
As a consequence, the govern-
ment is preparing to invoke all
phases of its crop control legisla-
tion in an effort to avert further
shrinkage in farm values and in-
come. Surpluses which otherwise
might move into foreign markets
will be withdrawn from market
channels and stored under govern-
ment loans to producers. This op-
eration may require upwards of
8500,000,000 in federal funds.
The government plans to make
the most of what foreign markets
are now available through use of
export subsidies. This device is de
signed to enable exporters to meet
competition abroad during times
when other price-supporting meas-
ures hold American crop prices
above world levels.
Subsidization of consumption by
low-income families in this coun-
try will be given increased empha-
sis.
To carry on the operations, in-
cluding benefits authorized farm-
ers for curtailing production, the
government expects to have up-
wards of $1,350,000,000 (bil-
lions).
Should crop control and sub-
sidization fail to hold prices at
reasonably satisfactory levels, the
administration may turn, some
leaders said, to some form of
price-control. These leaders em-
phasized, however, that price fix-
ing would be proposed only as a
last resort in the event of an
emergency.

COLLEGE STATION, May 31
—Every month new cooperative
gins obtain charters from the
Secretary of State and the num-
ber in Texas has now passed 400,
according to C. E. Bowles, special-
ist in cooperative marketing for
the A. and M. College Extension
Service.
While cooperative gins number
only a little more than 10 per-
cent of the gins in Texas, they
gin 25 percent of the cotton.
“Naturally if 200 farmers own a
gin. they will take their cotton to
their own gin,” the specialist says
in explaining how ginning large
numbers of bales cuts costs per
bale. Before the days of co-
operative gins, farmers often paid
$12 to $15 for ginning and wrap-
ping their cotton. In addition to
cutting this cost of ginning in
half, cooperatives have been able
to return dividends averaging $2
per bale during recent years, re-
ports show.
Even though cooperative gins
have proved to be successful
financially and have added mil-
lions of dollars to Texas farmers’
incomes, dollars and cents do not
tell the whole story. Educational
and social values are also re-
sultant from cooperative enter-
prises.
For example, if farmers own a
cotton gin together, they have a
common interest around which
some of their community activi
ties may center.
“I’m convinced there is more
neighborliness and human kind-
ness in communities where farm
people have learned to cooperate,”
Bowles says. He calls cooperatives
“about the purest form of de-
mocracy we have left,” since the
life of a cooperative depends on
an informed membership.

Coleyville Club
Has Meeting
Variations in the preparation
of chicken for the table were
demonstrated by Mi's. R. J. Clark
to members of the Coleyville H.
D. club Wednesday. May 22. at
the home of Mrs. Grady Parr.
Mrs. Clark used two recipes
from the bulletin on “Preparation
of Fowls for Home and Market.”
A hen which had been cooked
tender was boned and cut in
small pieces, then measured for
the chicken cream pie. She made
crust similar to that of any cob-
bler pie and cooked it in the
oven until done. The chicken and
other ingredients were added and
cooked in a moderate oven.
The other recipe used was
“chicken souffle.” In preparing
this dish, Mrs. Clark mentioned
the importance of adding the
egg whites properly.
The chicken with cookies and
iced fruit juice were served to

Mesdames Otis Browning, P. J.

Gus Harper, unopposed candi-
date for re-election to the office
of district clerk, and W. A. Bis-
hop, Mrs. C. C. (Lum) McArthur
and R. B. Merrill, candidates for
county dork, have announced
they all will seek the office of
county and district clerk in the
event the offices are combined.
According to preliminary re-
ports, the county showed a drop
from 9,395 to 7,080 population
during the past ten year. Coun-
ties must have over 8,000 pop-
ulation in order to have separate
county and district clerk, and
unless additional persons are
found in Cottle county, the two
offices will be combined.
Harper released the following
statement for publication today:
“I have served you as your
district clerk for the past year,
which has been a groat pleasure
to me, and I attribute my success
as a district court clerk to hard
study and the cooperation of the
officials of the district.
“Now if circumstances combine
the two offices, I feel it my duty
to you and to myself to ask you
(the voters of Cottle county) for
re-election to the office of coun-
ty and district clerk. My promise
is the same fair and efficient ser-
vice I have given you in the past.
By hard work and practical ex-
perience. I can assure you of my
qualifications to serve you again
as you county and district clerk.”

SMOOTH MUSH
To cut cornmeal mush into
even edged slices for frying, use
a sharp knife frequently dipped in
warm water. Well molded mush
cuts best. To make it rinse a
small loaf pan or a pound baking
powder can in cold water and fill
it with mush. Cool, cover with
waxed paper held in place with
rubber band. (This prevents
crust from forming on top.). Chill
until needed. This mush will keep
several days if stored in refrigera-
tor.
Grover C. Bearden, longtime
resident of Paducah, today an-
nounced his candidacy for con-
stable of precinct No. 1.
Bearden is a prominent Cottle
nounty farmer, a member of the
Farmers Co-coperative Gin as-
sociation board of directors and
a member of the Knights of
Pythias lodge.
He is well known throughout
the county.
In announcing his candidacy,
Bearden said he was soliciting
the votes and influence of his
friends and acquaintances and
said he would fill the office to
the best of his ability if he were
elected.
