works best when the strips are*
disked in a three-year rotation,
explains the conservationist.
Cooper says that livestock
usually will not graze the type !
of plants which will grow on :
CONSERVE YOUR SOIL
Soil erosion can rob your land of essential nutrients, so that it becomes
less and less productive as the years go by. Take steps NOW to check
erosion, and build up the fertility of your land so that it will produce
more and more, yean after year.

Plentiful List
For April Set
College Station, March 21—
A'bit of planning ahead makes
a big difference in meal prep-
aration just as it does in other
efforts.
And a wise menu planner
knows the food items are in
abundant supply and available
for careful selection and econ-
omy. That’s one reason the
U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture prepares a monthly list of
plentiful foods, say food specia-
lists of the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service, College
Station.
What will be plentiful in
April?
Cranberry products head the
list. Supplies of colorful cran-
berry sauce and juice are large
enough to encourage wide use
of this food all month, accord-
ing to figures of USDA’s Ag-
ricultural Marketing Service.
That’s a happy selection be-
cause cranberries go well with
all of the plentiful meats—pork,
including ham for Easter;
br oilers and fryers and shrimp.
Other high protein plentiful
foods are eggs, milk and dairy
products and peanuts and pea-!
nut butter.
Carfhyed blackberries, especia-
lly those from Texas, Arkansas
and Oklahoma, also are plenti-
ful in the Southwest. Other
fruit in good supply include
canned freestone peaches, rai-
