ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION STARTED IN COUNTY Artificial insemination of dairy pattle has been begun in Beaver County, according to Ralph Pearson, president of the Beaver County unit of the Cache Valley Breeding Association. The first shipment of semen was flown into the county July 15. Wendell Ross of Beaver is the technician selected to do this work in the county. Wendell recently returned from a two-week two-week training course for technicians tech-nicians at the U S A C at Logan, while at this school, he passed the necessary examinations to obtain his state license.

MILE-HIGH CAKES Do you always take a cake out of your oven and find it looks just like the picture in the magazine ad? Or the recipe book? Most people in Utah don't have such good luck. Some cakes rise too high and flow over the top of the pan. Some rise and then fall. Some are too pourous and crumbly. These and other failures happen hap-pen because most of the recipes you use are made up at sea level. When you use them at our high altitudes in Utah, you get far different cakes from those made 'at sea level. MILE HIGH CAKES is the title of a bulletin containing 18 different cake recipes, prepared for altitudes, of 5,000, 7,500 and for 10,000 feet elevations. These recipes were worked out in the altitude laboratory at the Colorado Colo-rado A & M College at Fort Collins, Colo. This laboratory can be controlled to give the same air conditions that are found at various altitudes outside out-side the laboratory. These recipes are suited to our conditions in Utah as well as to those in Colorado. They are not modified from sea level recipes. They are made for high altitudes. There is no set rule for a homemaker to .use in ! Continued on Back Page HERE'S MORE ABOUT COUNTY AGENT Continued from Page One changing a sea level recipe to use at high altitudes. After these recipes were made by baking many cakes in the altitudes al-titudes laboratory, they were tried out by many different homemakers living in the different dif-ferent high elevations above sea level. These recipes give the hand method as well as the mixer method, both for the streamline and the conventional ways of putting the cake together. All of the cake recipes with all the different methods have been tried in the foods laboratories at the Utah State Agricultural College at Logan. They all make very good cakes. This bulletin was called Mile High Cakes because the elevaf-tion elevaf-tion where the work was done is one mile high. You can buy a copy of Mile High Cakes for 10c at your county extension agent's office. Use the recipe for the elevation which is nearest near-est to where you live. |
