STRETCH THAT 16-POINT
FLAVOR
Many variations of the "whipped
butter" served as a delicacy in pre
war French restaurants are being
tried out in, American home Kit
chens to make buttter rations go
farther. Gelatin, milk,' light cream
and egg are all possibilities as ex
tenders to whip into butter and, if
properly made, the mixtures have
a fresh butter flavor and a soft light
texture that makes them easy to
spread. The mixtures are useful only
as a spread, not as substitutes for
butter in frying or in cake or cook
ie making.
There are important rules to fol
low to make these extenders. Have
the butter soft but not melted and
the cream or milk lukewarm. Add
liquid to butter "gradually while
whipping slowly with'an egg beater.
Chill the mixture to make it firm
before serving.
One successful spread to make
one pound do where you had two
before may be made by adding 1
egg, 1 cup cream, and V2 teaspoon
of salt to Vz pound of butter. Soften
the butter by leaving it for several
Jtioua at room temperature. Then
beat until light and fluffy. Drop in
the salt and whole egg and beat
well. Heat the cream just to luke
warm, then add it gradually while
beating. Chill the mixture in the
refrigerator. -
Another suggestion is to use a
salied but unsweetened custard 2
egg yolks to one cup of milk and
' combine it with an equal measure
of butter softened to room temper
ature. The almost cold custard is
beaten into the butter a little at a
time. Salt is added if necessary.
This can,' even be used in sand
wiches for it does not become run
ny and soggy )if lunch boxes are
left at room temperature.
Here are a few hints, for spread
ing the butter thin:
Prevent the waste of little dabs
that cling to plates and are washed
off.. '
Make butter pats smaller or no
more than will be consumed.
Restore the family butter dish,
and let each person help himself.
Butter the rolls in the kitchen.
Put butter directly on bread or
toast.
Don't add butter to vegetables in
cooking utensils add it in the
serving dish.
And to add a thought for the New
Year. Resolve to follow very care
fully and every day the govern
ment's basic seven food guide. Plan
the family meals from the basic sev
en pattern and thereby help in the
homefront crusade for healthier
and stronger Americans;

Rigid Culling of
Laying Flocks in
January Important
Rigid culling of laying flocks this
January will be unusually import
ant as a means of reducing flocks
in line with feed supplies and in of
fering more efficient and profitable
production according to County
Agent C. D. Conrad. Poultry pro
ducers of Morrow county, as well
as those in the entire nation are
(faced with an adjustment problem
this spring, he says
Information on both the national
and state January culling campaign
has baen received)-fey the county
agent from Noel Bennion, extension
poultry specialist at Oregon State
college, who also makes some sug
gestions on culling procedures.
Oregon has expanded her produc-.
tion of chickens, eggs and turkeys
to such an extent in response to
national demands that some reduc
tion is suggested in state goals for
1944. These goals call for 4 percent
fewer eggs, 1 percent fewer chickens
raised, 26 percent less broiler pro
duction, and 8 percent fewer tur
keys raised for meat.
From the national standpoint it is
hoped through January culling to
reduce an estimated 520 million hens
and pullets by approximately 50
million. If Oregon poultrymen will
reduce flocks to the approximate
number on hand in January a year

PRINTERY
ago, they will obtain more efficient
egg production and conserve vital
feedstuffs, Bennion suggests. This
can be done by eliminating older
birds not in laying condition and by
removing undersized, slow maturing
pullets. A ready market is available
for these as soon as culled and with
no (further f eeding.-
Bennion also calls ' attention to
present indications that turkey
breeders are planning to carry over
even more breeding hens this year
than the record number a year ago.
The sane holds true of other Pa
cific coast states and even other
parts of the country.
While there is a strong demand
for hatching eggs from Oregon
broadbreasted flocks, which insures
a good market for early eggs, there
is some question about the . later
season market. Excess breeders can
be sold at a profit now whereas if
too many are kept, there may be
difficulties with inadequate feed
supplies and a possible short season
of egg demand.
