Unearth Original Jefferson
Plow Models In France
Thomas Jefferson’s important
contributions to agriculture and his
lifelong belief in farming as "the
first and most precious of all the
arts” were given new emphasis by
the discovery in Paris, France, of
original wooden models of an im-
proved plow invented by the na-
tion’s third president at the end of
the 18th century, according to Dr.
Julian P. Boyd, Princeton univer-
sity librarian and editor of the
definitive 50-volume edition of Jef-
ferson’s writings.
The models of the Jefferson plow,
described by historians as "the last
great fundamental development”
before the advent of efficient metal
plows about 1840, were discovered
by Dr. Howard C. Rice Jr., attached
to the American Embassy in Paris
and the representative of the Jef-
ferson Papers in France. The origi-
nal sets of plow models were sent
by Jefferson to French agricultural
authorities about the time of his
election to the presidency.
Jefferson, Dr. Boyd recalled, was
a farmer all his ”fe nnd deepW
regretted that public service pre-
vented his keeping a closer eye
upon his farms. He imported new
seeds, plants and trees; helped to
introduce the merino sheep in this
country; was a pioneer in the use
of power machinery; experimented
effectively with crop rotation in a
region largely devoted to soil-ex-
hausting tobacco culture and was
at least a century ahead of his time
in practicing contour plowing to
prevent erosion.
Handling Onions
Whether the housewife gets the
best of onions or they get the best
of the housewife is often a matter of
knowing the simple ways of handling
them, say nutritions specialists. The
specialists offer three suggestions for
getting the best of onion problems.
For onions without tears, the nutri-
tionists suggest that the onions be
held under water while peeling
them. This peeling under water
also keeping the onion odor from
penetrating the kitchen air. To ob-
tain juice and fine pulp for soup or
clear sauce, an onion la cut in half
and grated over a bowl. Or, if a
very little juice is wanted, the onion
can be grated over waxed paper and
dishwashing is saved. Also, cutting
an onion fine with a sharp knife is
easier than grating and often serves
a similar purpose.
Better Popcorn
Popcorn eater's this season have a
better than usual chance of getting
popcorn that excels In poppability
and tenderness. This is because
more of the 1946 crop than of any
previous crops comes from the new
high-yielding hybrid varieties of the
yellow type. Although it is hard
to tell the difference between hybrid
and ordinary varieties in the un-
popped grains, the superior quali-
ties of popcorn from hybrids show
up impressively when the corn is
popped. The quality of popcorn
depends on its flavor and tender-
ness. A large expansion during pop-
ping means extra tenderness and a
large volume of the finished prod-
uct from a given quantity of pop-
corn. Popcorn from hybrid expands
about 25 per cent more than ordi-
nary corn in popping. The kernels
are larger, almost hulless, tender
^nd of good flavor.
On Saturday afternoon, April 5,

Simple Meal Reduces Work
Of the Modern Horsmaker
Modern tiomeirj,,.,-.^ constantly
disprove that old adage that a
woman’s work is never done. Many
of them have adopted so many new
time-saving practices to get their
work done.
Take the preparation of meals—
probably the most time consuming of
the homemaker’s many duties. A
little planning and a few good reci-
pes will do much to shorten your
work with food. The ideal meal is
a simple meal which need not take
long to prepare. ^
A main dish, a salfld and a des-
sert together with a bread and a
drink can be a satisfying and whole-
some meal.
Main dishes usually contain a pro-
tein-rich food—meat, fish, cheese,
eggs or beans—and some starchy food
as potatoes, rice, macaroni, bread
crumbs or cereal. For color and fla-
vor tomatoes, parsley, plmiento or
carrots may be added. Often a
sauce such as gravy, white sauce
or tomato cheese sauce is used to
blend the different foods.
If the main dish is cooked in the
oven, a hot bread can be baked at
the same time. You can serve the
main dish In the casserole In which
it is baked. This not only assures
a piping hot dish but also saves dish-
washing.
Arkansas Educates Midwives
To Reduce Infant Mortality
■ In an effort to reduce childbirth
mortality and provide better pre-
natal care for mothers where medi-
cal facilities are not available, Ar-
kansas currently is teaching some
1,500 local midwives modern meth-
-ods of child delivery. The American
Public Welfare Association reports
that nearly 70 per cent of all the
nonwhite births in Arkansas are
attended by midwives. The midwife
training plan, under direction of the
state board of health, is operating
as an interim program until ade-
quate medical facilities and more
doctors can be provided.
Under direction of experienced
nurses, local midwives are given
classroom instruction in prenatal
care, child delivery and postnatal
care in seven sessions! The course
' ’ supplements regular
| supervision given by local health
departments. Dieticians and other
state experts assist in instruction.
Most of the midwives are be-
tween 60 and 80 years of age,
though an increasing number of
younger women are becoming in-
terested in the program. Visual
aids and practical demonstrations
are used extensively by the instruc-
tors since many of the midwives,
who must register with the state,
do not know how to read or write.
r«lMWs Weed
Prickly lettuce is a range weed
which is poisonous to cattle when
pastured green but which ceases to
be poisonous when cured in hay was
reported by the Wyoming experiment
station. Pulmonary poisoning which
prickly lettuce produces in range
cattle is completely unlike any other
ever described, station workers
found. There is a complete destruc-
tion of alveolar, or air cell,,
tissue in the lung, and various other
symptoms of lung breakdown occur.
Salt hungry cattle on dry summer
range are more likely to graze the
toxic prickly lettuce, the research
study showed. Three to seven days
are required to produce visible
symptoms from the poisoning. Cat-
tle -should be watched carefully
when moved onto pasture where
prickly lettuce is suspected. If signs
of poisoning develop, the animals
should be turned back to dry pas-
ture at once.
