SPOILAGE AND HOW
TO PREVENT IT
j“.
College Station.—Most home
can lier. have seen swelled
cans or know about the danger
of poisoning from botulism,
but there are other types of
spoilage which they should
know about and guard against.
‘•Flat sour” offers one ex-
ample. Mrs. Winifred J. Le-
verenz, specialist in food pre-
servation for the A. and M.
College Extension Service, ex-
plains that corn and shelled
beans and peas are susceptible
to this type of spoilage, as
well as pumpkins and snap
beans. When this occurs, the
food usually is cloudy, has an
unpleasant odor, and a dis-
agreeable, sour flavor.
Mrs. Leverenz says this type
of spoilable CBn be prevented
by canning these foods imme-
diately after gathering them,
by making sure the food is
clean, by processing under
pressure the proper length of
time and by cooling it quick-
ly and storing it in a cool
place. Since the bacteria
which cause flat sour develop
best between 100 and ISO de-
grees F., Mrs. Leverenz says
canners should avoid letting
food stand at this temperature
for any length of time before,
during, or after canning.
An unusual type of spoilage
sometimes happens with beets
•when they turn black in color.
While this change does not
necessarily indicate that the
food is poisonous, it becomes
most unappetizing. The bac-
teria which causes this type of
spoilage develops only in the
presence of iron either in the
water, or because the beets
were pre-cooked in an iron
kettle or in a chipped enamel
vessel. On long storage the
Iron base of the can may
cause this discoloration.
Occasionally canned greens,
especially spinach, will have a
bad odor, a slimy texture/and
a cloudy liquid. Thorough
washing is necessary to help
prevent this, because greens
grow close to the soil and may
be more heavily contaminated
with bacteria than taller vege-
tables, Mrs. Leverenz explains.
Greens should not be packed
too tightly, or they will be
more likely to spoil, because
there is slower heat penetra-
tion. Fill the container within
two inches of the top of solid
food, cover with boiling liquid
and run a knrfe through the
•center several times to make
sure the boiling liquid will
reach the middle.

HOW TO GROW
POTATOES
College Station.—The recent
general rains lifted the potato
crop out of the doldrums of
drought. But the experience

Service, opportunity to make

TO: J. R. CLARK
GREETING:
You are commanded to ap-
pear and answer the plaintiff’s
petition at or before 10 o’clock
A. M. of the first Monday after
the expiration of 42 days from
the date of issuance of this
Citation, the same being Mon-
day the 5th day of June, A. D.,
1944, at or before 10 o'clock
A. M., before the Honorable
District Court of Shelby Coun-
ty, at the Court House in Cen-
ter, Texas.
Said plaintiff’s petition was
filed on the 22nd day of April,
1944. The file number of said
suit being No. 11,846.
The names of the parties in
said suit are: Elsie Clark as
Plaintiff, and J. R. Clark as
Defendant
The nature of said suit be-
ing substantially as.follows, to
wit: Plaintiff has resided in
Shelby County, Texas one year
prior to filing for divorce;
Plaintiff wa3 married to de-
fendant on April 8, 1944, and
lived with him as man and
wife until April 10, 1944,
when defendant deserted’her
and left her to the mercy of
the world; plaintiff was good
to him, loved him and did all
she could to make his life hap-
py, but the defendant threat-
ened her and made her afraid
of him and he was cruel and
wicked and mean to her be-
yond measure; that the above
facts rendered their further
living together as man and
wife, insupportable: that said
marriage relations -still exist;
that no children were bom of
said marriage and plaintiff
wants judgment of the court
granting her a divorce.
Issued this the 22nd day of
April, 1944.
Given under my hand and
seal of said Court, at office in
Center, Texas, this the 22nd
day of April, A. D., 1944.

County, Texas.
2,000 Sandwiches a Day
Fort Smith, Ark. (UP)—
Since the establishment of the
sandwich concession at the
Camp Chaffee post exchange
in February, 1942, Mrs. Dora
James, head of the concession,
said that soldiers have eaten
1,425,200 sandwiches The
most popular sandwich is ham
and the heaviest day for eat-
ing sandwiches in general is
Friday. In an average day,
2,900 sandwiches are made,
using 276 pounds of bread.
Snow and salt were mixed

zero for his thermometer.
really the plant’s stomach,
must be kept on the job. When
the soil is too dry the leaves
| wilt during the day, 'and a
wilted leaf is not digesting
plant food. With plenty of
plantfood and water in the
soil the leaves transform the
minerals into new potatoes.
The cue to making a good po-
tato crop is to watch the
leaves. If they wilt that is
their way of asking for a
drink. If they don't get it it’s
a safe wager that they will get
stingy and make few potatoes,
Rosborough says.
Fast the danger point in
growth, the gardener’s con-
cern will be with timing the
digging and proper curing and
storage of the crop. When the
leaves turn brown and the
plant as a whole has lost its
fresh, green color the time to
dig is at hand. First, however,
take out a few potatoes and
test their maturity by pressing
with the thumbs. If the skin
is tender and breaks and rubs
off easily, they are not ready
for the bln. Let them remain
in the ground another week or
so, or until the skin cannot be
broken easily by thumb pres-
sure.
There is one more safe-
guard. Pick up the potatoes
as soon as they are dug and
place them in the shade. If
they are left in the hot sun-
shine for several hours they
are more likely to decay in
storage, Rosborough says. Af-
ter the work and care expend-
ed in making a good crop, he
adds, It would be disaster to
lose any of it through neglect.
Imported Grass
Sells Itself
College Station.—Centipede
lawn grass, imported from
South China, has won favor
with Mrs. Vernon Brundlge,
Williamson County yard dem-
onstrator who resides in the
Granger community.
She recently told Bess Vogt,
county home demonstration
agent who has been assisting
her, that this grass is solving
all her lawn difficulties. It
grows in the shade or in the
sun. It needs no mowing. It
needs no artificial watering
when mature. It stays green in
winter and can withstand
temperatures down to 5 de-
grees Fahrenheit. Centipede
grass can be killed with one
hoeing or plowing.

Shelby-Panoia Soli Conservation District
No Erosion After Vetch
Or Winter Peas
Several farmers in the Shel-
by-Panoia Soil Conservation
District report excellent soil
saving value from their peas
or vetch which was turned un-
der prior to the heavy flood
rains of the past couple of
weeks. Mr. Ira Bell of the
Shelbyville Conservation group
stated that he noticed very
little run-off and no erosion
on the field where he turned
under an excellent cover of
veach. On the other hand,
fields which were terraced but
not planted to a winter cover
did considerable washing be-
tween the terraces and did
and roots were is the ground
to help hold the water and
prevent the soil from being
washed off by heavy rains.
Terrace Maintenance
Mr. Morris Childs, district
cooperator of the Shelfcy-Ps-
nola Soil Conservation District
of Timpson, is highly pleased
with the way his old ridge
type terraces look after plow-
ing out the channel of the
terrace and developing the
very popular modified ridge
and channel type. Mr. Childs
noticed that' the terraces after
the channel had been plowed
out and widened carried much
more water without increas-
ing the height of his old ridge
considerable damage by filling: type terraces,
up the terrace channels, even; Preliminary Planning in the
though the terraces did not j Timpson Conservation Area
break. | The Soil Conservation Serv-
Mr. L. B. Baker of the An- ice personnel assisting the dis-
lioch Conservation Group had _ triet have been doing prelimi-
a similar experience with his.nazy planning.on the farms of
excellent crop of hairy vetch; Mr. Weeks Crawford, Mr.
that was turned under a few Gordon Weaver, Mr. J. C. Jul-
days before the heavy rains, ian, Mr. Emmett Shepherd,
Mr. Baker stated that it was Mr. A F. Burns, and Mr. L.
impossible for any land to F. Bearden to work out a de-
wash that was as full of roots, tailed plan whereby each acre
nitrogen bearing nodules, and can be utilized to its long time
decaying vetch plants as was use either as cultivated land,
his land after taming under pasture, meadow, or wood-
his hairy vetch.
Mr. LutEer Green of the
Bobo Conservation Group had
an excellent example of the
value of Austrian Winter
Peas in the prevention of soil
erosion. According to Mr.
Green, the ground on which
waist high Austrian Winter
Peas were turned under ab-
sorbed almost ail the rain that
fell and the enormous root
growth left the ground just
like dew ground used to look
back in the early days of. Shel-
by County when plenty of or-
ganic matter, decaying grass,
land whereby the soil and fer-.
tility will be maintained and a
greater yield can be secured.
Remember
Since the armed forces and
the Allied Nations need more
food and since we have less
labor to raise it, every prac-
tical short cut must be used.
By the use of inoccilant on
peanuts and peas greater
yields can be obtained and
more nitrogen added to the
soil with the same amount of
labor, the same acreage of
soil, and the same amount of
cultivation.
