An Open Letter
To Men Only!
This is an open letter to men only
If you are a male citizen of the U.
S. and your age is within the pre-
sent limits of military service, it is
directed to you personally, and you
will want to read carefully the fol-
lowing facts which, from now on,
will be of vital importance to you.
Daily, weekly, monthly, more
and more men are needed for our
armed forces, and from all indica-
tions, more men are scheduled to
be called in October than in any
previous thirty-day period.
If you are a man between the
ages of 17 anc 50, you should in-
quire about about the possibilities
of service in the U. S. Navy, before
you are called into another branch.
You can be accepted for Naval ser-
vice up to the time of your actual
indunction—and you will have the
satisfaction of knowing you volun-
teered you services to your country.
One of the first and most import-
ant facts contronting the man who
is undecided on whether to enlist
in the Navy is the all-important
question of pay. The base pay in
the Navy—that is, for an appren-
tice seamen—is the same as that of
a private in the army. But a pro-
motion and increase in pay.is guar-
anteed after the first two months of
service in the,Navy, for every man
who enlists as an apprentice seaman
automatically becomes a seaman,
second class, which corresponds to
the army rating of private first
class.
Every Navy recruit has a chance
of assignment to a Navy trade
school, where each man can become
an expert in the trade for which he
has shown himself best adapted.
The Seabees, Navy construction
unit, offers unusual opportunities.
All Seabees automatically become
at least seaman second class upon
enlistment. Many older married
men, if qualified in a skilled trade,
will be especially interested in join-
ing the Seabees, but all men 1J to
50 are acceptable.
Age limits for service in the regu
lar Navy, the Naval Reserve and
the Seabees are from 17 to 50 and a
half. Single men from 17 to 30 are
eligible to join the regular Navy
end serve for six years, but all men
from 17 to 50, whether with oi
without dependents, single or mar-
ried, may enlist in the Naval Re-
serve for the duration.
Time if? an essential element in
enlisting, however. Many men who
have delayed too long in volunteer-
ing for the Navy now regret it. You
should choose your service while
you are still free to do so.
Navy recruiting stations are in
Dallas, Abilene* Amarillo, Big Spr-
ing, Ft. Worth, Longview, Lubbock
Paris. San Angelo, Sherman, Tyler
Waco, Wichita Fplls.
Other stations are in Childress and
Rusk. Lieut. L. H. Ridout Jr.,
Officer in Charge.

WINTER LEGUMEL FOR
SOIL IMPROVEMENT
One of the most effective ways to
make the soils in the eastern half
of Texas more productive is by
planting winter legumes. Accord-
ing to E. A. Miller, agronomist foi
the Texas A. & M. College Exten-
sion Service, it is highly important
to sow legumes this year in order
to replace as much as possible of
the estimated 20 to 30 per cent
shortage of nitrogen for fertilizers
in 1943. Legume crops gather ni-
trogin from the air by means of
bacteria in the nodules on the
roots When the plants are plowed
under the nitrogen in them increas-
es the productive strength of the
soil.
Austrian winter peas and bus
clover are adapted only to the bet-
ler types of soil, but in experimen-
tal tests have yielded considerably
less than hairy vetch. From 20 tc
30 pounds an acre should be used
in seeding winter peas, and sweet
clover requires 15 to 20 pounds an
acre when drilled or broadcast.
When planted in two to three foot
rows, six to eight pounds an acr<
ire needed. The latter method ha*
been more successful in many cases
than broadcasting.
Miller says that it is useless to
attemp to grow winter legumes on
most sandy soils without inocula-
ting the seed and using at least 100
to 200 peunds an acre of 20 pei
cent superphosphate. On old fields
and on mo>t sandy soils, it also
pays to apply from 30 to 40 pounds
or muriate of potash per acre. The
material of inoculation may be ob-
tained from seed dealers.
Brown rice is tj white or polish-
ed rice as whole wheat flour is to
p'ain white flour, the Queen City
Home Demonstration Club agreed
as it discussed the whole grain pro-
ducts available, when it met at the
Church, September Uth.
Brown rice can be prepared as
daily as white rice, cooked in milk
or water, and used in many ways
in menues. It has a good flavor and
is quite nutritious.
Pians were made for a demons-
tration on putting cane bottoms in
chairs, for the Achievement Event
to be held October 23rd.
We should do our best to educate
our own appetites, for it is the food
that gets inside that counts, and
once we have learned to like the
whole grain products, eating for
health is much easier and a plea-
sure, said Miss Frances Arnold, to
the New Home Demonstration
Club as it met with Mrs. Virgil
Ramsey, September 8th.
There are certain foods that
should be eaten each day accord-
ing to the Texas Food Standard,
and it is easy to meet the recom-
mended allowances if we select our
foods properly provided each meal
and every single food preparation
in the meal are truly attrative. she
said as the group discussed the
whole grains.
A demonstration on making pea-
nut butter was given and sand-
wiches made.
Dinner was served the group by
the hostess.
At least one serving of whole
grain products should be used each
day, according to the Texas Food
Standard, said Miss Frances Ar-
nold, Home Demonstration Agent
to the Lone Oak Club as it met in
the home of Mrs. Roy Melton,
September 11th.
The germ and lother layers of
grain supply minerals that we need
namely: phosphorus, iron, manga-
nese, and some calcium, she said
as the group prepared whole grain
dishes such as rice, oat meal in
milk, whole wheat muffins, and
grape nuts as cereal.
Each member agreed to bring a
cintainerof canned food to tie
next meeting which will be the Ac-
hievement Event on October 9th.
Rolled oats cooked in milk makes
it two times as valuable for pro
tein, calories and thiamin, 6 times
as valuable for riboflavin and 12
times as valuable for calcium, as
that cooked in water, said Miss
Frances Arnold, home demonstra-
tion agent to the Concord Home
Demonstration Club when it met
in the home of Mrs. O. B. Adatrif,
September 7th.
Rolled oats, is a good stand by
for breakfast, and is as easily cook-
ed by using milk as water, she said
as the group discussed the whole
grains which are available to each
farm family.
Achievement Event plans were
made to be held on October 12th,
with each member bringing exhi-
bits of work done.
Home made cheese was served
the group by the hostess.
Miss Myrtle Murray, Home In-
dustries Specialist from Texas A.
and M College Extension Service,
will meet with the marketing chair-
men from each home demonstra-
tion club and the council members
on Saturday, September 26tb, be-
ginning at 10:30 a. in.
Marketing possibilities for the
club women will be the discussion,
and a demonstration on pre paring
foods for the meeting, and others
are welcome to attend in the coun-
ty agents' office in Linden.
Pear.ut bu?t r bread can be
made as easily as corn bread, •'aid
Miss Frances Arnold, home de-
monstration agent to the Flat
Creek Club a~ it met in the home
of Mrs J \V. Stubbs, September
10. I'sing 1 cup whole wheat flour,
1 cup white flour, 4 teaspoons bak-
ing powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1-3
cup sugar, 1-2 cup peanut butter,
and 1 1-2 cups milk, the bread can
be baked easily in a loaf pan in a
moderate oven for about an hour.
The bread is nutritious for pea
nut butter and whole wheat flour
| are especially good foods, and it is
a tasty bread that is good for
sandwiches.
A demonstration on putting cane
bottoms in chairs was planned for
the club. The Achievement Event
was discussed also, and the poultry
demonstrator gave a report of the
work she had done this year which
will be on exhibit October 8th. A
special guest was Mrs. Grady Star-
rett, Almira Club, who gave a re-
port of the trip to the State Con-
vention in Fort Worth.
