Selling fat cattle when they
reach a grade of "good" rather
than finishing them out to
"choice" or "prime" grades is a
practical way to save grain dur
ing the current emergency, as
serts H. A. Lindgren, OSC exten
sion animal husbandman. It
takes more grain to put a pound
of gain on a highly finished ani
mal than on an animal that is
not so fat, Lindgren points out.
And part of the grain that goes
into those final pounds of gain
is wasted because excess fat has
to be trimmed from the carcass.
For that reason, an animal
grading "good" often yields a
higher percentage of edible meat
than one of higher grade.
The bureau of home economics
has run extensive experiments
on cooking poultry, and have
found that low temperatures in
cooking poultry and meats re
suited in more juicy meat, more
servings per pound, and more
uniformly cooked meat. Low
temperatures require a longer
cooking time. Roasting schedules
for poultry are available in HE
1475, "Poultry Cookery Recipes
and Menus."
HE 1980, "Poultry Cookery," is
another free circular with valu
able hints.
The tender bird is roasted in
an uncovered pan without wa
ter in the pan. The larger the
bird, the lower the temperature.
Covering the bird during roast
ing with a damp, greased, clean
white cloth and remoistening it
occasionally helps keep the skin
tender. Turkey halves may be
roasted, cut side down, placed
over the dressing on a pan in
side another pan, with extra
dressing at one side. Young tur
key, or parts of turkey, may be
sliced and fried like chicken.
Shoes suffer during wet wea
ther. Once soaked they may
never look well or fit as com
fortably unless they are proper
ly dried and cared for afterward.
Wet shoes should be taken off
as soon as possible since the
leather is weak when wet. Wear
ing shoes when wet pulls them
out of shape and causes breaks
or other damage. Care for them
In this way: Stuff wet shoes with
soft paper or absorbent cloth to
take up moisture. Never use ten
sion shoe trees because they
may stretch the leather out of
shape. Instead of drying the out
side of shoes by rubbing, which
mnv roughen the wet leather, pat
wilh a soft cloth. Fast drying
with heat makes leather shrink:
harden, or crack.

rub in a little sulfonated castor
oil which can be purchased at
drug stores. It keeps leather soft
and pliable. Use only as much
oil as the leather will absorb,
otherwise the shoes will be too
greasy to take a polish. When
shoes are soft and dry, polish
with any good paste or cream
Two coats of polish may be
needed to bring back the fresh
new look to the leather.
Work or play shoes that do
not need polishing may be soft

turn off moisture but also last
longer. Outdoor work shoes or

Just enough warm oil to cover
the soles and let stand 15 min

Caution: Never let oil get on
rubber heels or soles because it
rots the rubber.
Suede shoes should be thor

sponge or stiff brush, never a

STATE GAS SALES EXCEED
300 MILLION GALLONS FOR
NINE MONTHS. TOPPING '46
Oregon gasoline sales went
over the 300 million gallon level
in the first nine months of the
year to top the 1946 record for
the same period by 13 percent,
Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry
has announced.
Showing steady month-by-month
gains since January, sales
reached an all-time peak in
August as pumps throughout
the state recorded over 43 mil
lion gallons. September gas use
eased off to 42 million gallons
but led sales for September of
1946 by more than 14 percent.
Officials said taxes on sales so
far this year have netted the
state treasury $14 million.
Consumption for the remain
ing months of 1947 is expected
to stay at high levels with win
ter traffic volumes heaviest in
history. Safety men said this
