Show FARM NOTES I BY HYRUM STEFFEN j Beaver County Agent j Miss Gertrude L. Warren of Washington, D. C, in charge of organization of 4-H club work with the national , extension service, ser-vice, United States department of agriculture, worked in Logan last week with David Sharp and Fern Shipley, assistant state 4-H club worker, in reviewing Utah club work. The national club organizer has recently made a tour of several states in carrying on her organization work. She reported that she was "pleased with the type of work being carried on in the west," and described the national na-tional contribution of 4-H club members to the war. "W!ar work of 4-H club members mem-bers has gained the club movement move-ment national recognition never before experienced," she said. "There is scarcely a business man or educator in America who does not know of the work in conservation conserva-tion done by these youthful members mem-bers on the home front." Approximately 1,700,000 4 - H members have done war work on the farm in the past year, stated Miss Warren. Club members produced pro-duced food equivalent to the feeding feed-ing of 1,000,000 soldiers in 1943, which is food for one-tenth of the armed forces. (Continued on last page) FARM NOTES I (Continued from page 1) Miss Warren described the re- j suits of 4-H mobilization week in j the nation and placed emphasis on I the messages from the president of the United States, General E. G. Gregory, quartermaster general, gen-eral, and General Dwight Eisenhower, Eisen-hower, allied commader in Europe.; She praised the former 4-H club members who have distinguished distin-guished themselves in the war, in such events as the Doolittle raid on Tokyo, early bombing of Berlin, Ber-lin, and the bombing of the railroads rail-roads of Rome. As a part of their war contributions, Utah club members will name a victory ship to be launched in the near future, announced Miss Warren. "The year 1944 will be the most important year in the history of 4-H clubs," declared Miss Warren,! adding that "the results of n-j tional mobilization week indicate that rural youth will be named among the foremost American citizens in the winning of the' war." Black marks On waxed floors made by wartime rubber heels and soles may be removed with liquid wax, turpentine or cleaning fluid. Rubbing with a cloth moistened in cleaning fluid such as carbon tetrachloride or in turuentine is one way of taking off such marks. The grease solvent removes the wax along with the black, so wax should be applied to the floor after removal. The carbon black in the rubber, which causes the marks, has the virtue of making rubber more durable. Cdok cabbage In as short time as possible, in as little water as possible, and keep it covered. Long cooking develops a strong flavor and smell, and spoils the color and texture. With short cooking, green cabbage will still be green and white cabbage will be an attractive at-tractive creamy color. Milk every day is a must in any good diet. It may be fluid, whole-or whole-or skim, evaporated, dried, buttermilk, butter-milk, cheese or in ice cream. When not enough is obtainable give an extra helping of whole grain or enriched cereal, an extra green leafy vegetable, and eggs, or soybeans, soy-beans, meat, fish or poultry. One of the greatest needs for rust-inhibltive paint or metal is j in the protection of farm machinery. machin-ery. Where machine sheds or other buildings for storing farm machinery ma-chinery are mot available and the metal parts of the machinery are kept painted with red lead or blue lead, the life of the equipment is prolonged many years. Without question, the family operating the farm also takes greater pride in using attractive, new-appearing machinery. Decorative paint of any color desired may be applied I over rust-inhibitive paints as they I provide satisfactory foundation coats. A planned program for painting machinery should be established on every farm in Utah. |
