i What’s Cooking?
BY JUDY WHJCFRSON’ U
Make ahead salads
land sandwiches
I Just love to have some real
goodies In the freezer or re-
frigerator so that If we have
unexpected company or If we
drag In from work late and Just
don’t feel like cooking, we can
still have a tasty meal.
Now there are some won-
derful frozen and non-frozen
concoctions that you can pur-
chase at the grocery store, but
If you will check the prices, you
will find that they are terrlflcly
.expensive with contents that do
not feed two healthy appetites-
much less a teen-aged boy who
can eat a frozen entree as an
ppetlzer.
The solution to feeding a
ly or a bunch of friends on
the spur of the moment Is to
plan ahead and make your
freezer meals and refrigerator
meals yourself. I usually cook
several different things over the
weekend, maybe even doubling
some of the recipes that I freeze,
so that we will have a good
reserve.
Ham and Cheese Buns
t sticks batter or margarine
S Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
1 grated onion
t Tablespoons poppy seeds
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire
Banco
1C slices Swiss cheese
1C hambarger bans
Melt the butter and stir in
the mustard, grated onion,
poppy seeds and Worcestershire
sauce. Place all this In freezer
41f you are In a hurry) or re-
frigerator until It has congealed
again and is spreadable. Spread
mixture on both sides of bun
and wrap In foil and place in
freezer. Cook, frozen, for 35
minutes In a preheated 350
degree oven.
Now this Is the kind of recipe
that you really don’t have to be
locked into the ingredients as
listed. You need to follow the
spread recipe, but you can use
other types of sliced meat such
finmcmi or pastrami and you
can use other cheeses besides
Swiss. There are all sorts of
good buns oa the market and we
love this recipe on whole wheat
Roman Meal buns.
Chop chicken into very fine
pieces, add grated cheese,
grated onion, chopped sweet
pickle, lemon Juice and salad
dressing and spread between
buns. Freeze and when ready to
cook, place In preheated 350
degree oven and bake for 35
minutes.
Here are a couple of con-
gealed salads that go well with
most any meal you will prepare
throughout the week. If you will
seal them In a sealable plastic
bowl or with plastic wrap, they
will retain their distinctive
flavor In the refrigerator for
four or five days.
Tomato 8oup Salad
1 can tomato soup
1 - S oa. package lemon gelatin
1 Cup mayonnaise
1 Cup cottage cheese (drained)
K Cup celery, diced
K Cup green pepper, diced
1/3 Cup grated onion
Heat the undiluted tomato
soup until Just boiling and add
the lemon gelatin (no water).
Place this In the refrigerator
until It Is cool and then add the
mayonnaise and cottage cheese
and put this back in refrigerator
until it Is Just starting to con-
geal. Stir In the celery, green
pepper and onion and pour Into
a pyrex dish. This will be ready \
to eat In about an hour. You can
cut It In squares and serve on a
bed of lettuce or some shredded 1
cabbage leaves.
Speaking of cabbage, this Is,
a vegetable that is really good
for you. Inexpensive and can be
combined with a number of i
other Ingredients to make a
main dish or:
Jellied Coleslaw
1 • 3 ounce package lemon
gelatin
1 Cup boiling water
3 Cup# shredded cabbage
with Juice
1 Jar sliced pimlento (c
I)
i H Cupaaladi
3 Tablespoons wine vinegar
1 small green pepper, cboppi
Mix gelatin and boiling'
water and pour into a dish ap-
proximately 10xb2. Put In re-1
frlgerator to cool and then shred
the cabbage and mix with the
pineapple, pimlento, minced'
onion, vinegar and chopped pep-
per. Pour all of this Into the
cooled gelatin and stir. Place In
refrigerator until congealed.
You may want to serve this with i
a dollop of mayonnaise and
salad dressing oa top.

4-H Record Book Workshop To Bo
Held In De Loon Next Week
All 4-H*ers, parents, and leaders
are encouraged to attend the 4-H
Record Book Workshop to be held on
Tuesday, April 8, at 7 p.m. at the
First United Methodist Church in De
Leon.
This is an opportunity learn how to
complete a 4-H record book. Each
section of the book will be explained
and discussed. Among the sections
to be discussed are the Junior, Sub-
junior, and National Report Form;
the parts of the 4-H story; Project
Pictures; Animal and Non-Animal
project record forms.
4-H record books are a very
important part of 4-H as young
people learn at an eary age that
recordkeeping is essential and
developing the skills to keep
accurate records are a must.
Of course, any 4-H’er is welcome
but those who have never had the
opportunity to complete a 4-H record
book are encouraged to attend. All
the necessary forms will be
available and the record book covers
(folders) will be available.
There are many activities offered
in the 4-H program that require
record books, such as the Gold Star
and Danforth Leadership Awards,
the 4-H Exchange Trip, 4-H
scholarships, many club activities
(officer eligibility, etc.).
Coastal sprigging is in full swing
in Comanche County - good soil
moisture appears to be present, with
hope of more rain on the way. Many
farmers and ranchers have already
sprigged their coastal bermuda
grass, or they are sprigging now.
Seedbeds have been prepared well
in advance, preferably in December
or January, so that the soil has had
sufficient time to settle and become
somewhat firm. If the soil is too
firm, or if undesirable vegetation
exists at the time of sprigging, a
light discing should be performed.
Use live, healthy, fresh sprigs;
sprigs dug one day should be planted
the next day. Keep sprigs moist and
place them in the shade or cover
them to reduce exposure to the wind
and sun.
Plant springs under two to three
inches of moist soil; soil should then
be firmed with a packer and
smoothed with a drag behind the
aprigger.
Failure to apply fertiliser may be
the cause of many grass failures.
Grasses need the extra stimulus
given by fertilizer to become
established. The fertilizer can be
applied during seedbed preparation
(prior to final discing) or after the
grass begins to sprout.
Coastal bermuda grass sprigs will
emerge and begin to grow in early
May. Avoid livestock grazing until
grass has a well-developed root
system and a complete cover.
Coastal bermuda sprigging can be
expensive, so be careful and
consider some of the information
provided.
Soil Conservation Service
personnel in Comanche are
available to discuss grass
establishments and to provide
technical assistance. For more
information, call (S15) 356-5186 or
come by the office.
Farm Credit Leaders Discuss
Interest Rates, Loan Restructuring
Loan restructuring and lower
interest rates for fanners were the
primary concern of Texas Farm
Credit System i rectors attending a
national meeting in Denver,
Colorado, last week.
The Farm Credit System national
leaders’ number one topic for
discussion was the plight of good
fanners in the current depressed
agricultural economy and how the
Farm Credit System could help.
Discussion at the meeting
centered on the need for Farm
Credit banks and associations to
study ways to restructure debt for
troubled fanners who borrow
from the Farm Credit System. The
directors talked about opportunities
for more use of Farmers Home
Administration, and Farm Credit
System support for federal or state
funded interest rate buydown
programs for fanners with a chance
of survival.
Normal procedure for the Texas
Land Banks and Production Credit
Associations is to work with farmers
and ranchers who have a chance of
wurktaig out of their financial
rates lowers for the Texas Federal
Land Bank. The Texas board of
directors first asked for a Land
Bank interest rate reduction last
September.
The Texas Farm Credit System is
comprised of the Federal Land Bank
of Texas and its 44 Federal Land
Bank Association, the Federal
Intermediate Credit Bank of Texas,
33 Production Credit Associations
and the Texas Bank for
Cooperatives. Collectively, they
have $4 billion in loans outstanding
to 40,000 of the state’s farmers,
ranchers, aquatic harvesters and
147 agricultural and rural utility
cooperatives.
The Texas Farm Credit District is
among the strongest in the nation
with $800 million in capital and

emphasis for the hanks right now,
particularly because interest rates
