Department Depart-ment of Agriculture's plentiful foods list for January are: Canned sweet corn and eggs. Memo to homemakers: Here's a good team for such hot hearty dishes as that long-time favorite, corn pudding, or for a speedy frying-pan item such as scrambled eggs and corn with a dash of catsup for added zest. The supply of eggs increases seasonally in January. Supplies in January '57 are expected to be considerably larger than in Jan-ary Jan-ary '56, and prices to consumers more favorable. January eggs are also a buy for high quality. Other plentiful main dish foods for January are: Beef more of the higher grade beef expected, pork still in seasonally large supply, big turkeys especially those 24 pounds and up, broilers and fryers, and, for the dish dinner, din-ner, easy-tto-cook ocean perch fillets fil-lets at favorable prices. Late crop potatoes the choice for baking, mashing, roasting, frying fry-ing or combination dishes will continue very plentiful in January and well worth featuring in family fam-ily meals in. this c.old month. Also continuing in plenty are fall crop onions that keep well in a dry cool place. For dessert, there'll be canned purple plums from the big crop of last fall. Aside from their convenience con-venience and appetizing color and flavor, these are one of the best buys of the season. Serve them chilled or hot with a bit of spice. Also plentiful. . are dried prunes. Medium-size dried prunes are expected ex-pected to be .the buy. There will still be California dates aplenty during January, worth considering especially for lunch boxes and for after-school snacks for youngsters.

The 195V production may be as much as 2 or 3 billion pounds over this year. |
