However, the number of people employed on farms has dropped 70 per cent at the same time that farm production per hour of labor used has Jumped 555 : per cent. In short, we have used more fuel and fertilizer to get . more food and fiber out of the same amount of land with less labor. CHEESE FACTS ; Mild cheese refers to the degree of curing and generally refers : to cheddar cheese. Sharp cheese is cured longer or held at a 1 specific temperature and humidity longer and a sharp flavor results. It may also be called "aged." CHILL FOR VITAMINS If potatoes must be peeled for cooking, wash, dry and chill them beforehand. Chilling helps to conserve vitamin C content and discourages darkening. : PLANT DEVELOPMENT ; Several groups of scientists around the world are trying to develop non-legume plants that fix their own nitrogen, as soybeans and other legumes do with the aid of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria Rhizobium. One approach involves attempts to introduce : the nitrogen-fixing characteristic directly into the cells of non legume plants. Another possible approach ie breeding Rhizobia that would work with cereals ana other non-legume crops. In fact, an Australian scientists has already discovered a Rhizobium that infects a non-crop, non-legume plant. FREEZE RICE If you have leftover rice, put it in a freezing container, seal and label. It can be stored eight months or more at zero degrees. Thaw and reheat by cooking with a few tablespoons water in covered pan. ' PETROLEUM USE Agriculture uses more petroleum than any other single industry. Yet, agriculture is not the only user of energy in our society. The average American consumes the equivalent of about 2000 gallons of gasoline per year. It takes the energy equivalent of about 10 gallons of gasoline annually just to watch a black and white television set. By comparison, agriculture consumes 100 gallons of gasoline to feed one person. NO ARTHRITIS CURE There is no cure for arthritis yet. Special diets and food sup plements, including such items as vitamins, minerals, "im munized" milk, herbs, Juices and acids are ineffective. Despite this fact arthritics spent ovr $400 million last year for phony food items, drugs, devices and treatments. Because arthritis symptoms sometimes disappear for weeks or months, it may sometimes appear that a phony product has "cured" the illness. But, this is the natural course of arthritis. You are better off to spend your money for treatment by a qualified doctor who can help control the illness and eating a well balanced diet is important ior the arthritis. MILK STRETCHES Buy nonfat dry milk in as large a package as you can store and use without waste. It keeps and it helps to stretch many of your food recipes. PROTEIN HIGH Mature dry legumes, dry peas and members of the bean family including navy, pinto and soybeans, are outstanding among the vegetables for the protein they contain. And they also contain B vitamins, iron and other nutrients. SWEET SUBSTITUTES Glazing carrots, parsnips, or sweet potatoes? Butter, brown sugar and water, or substitute the water and use frozen orange juice concentrate, or honey or even maple syrup. ADD COLOR Dress up your meals with a sprig of dark greens, a slice of red tomato, or maybe an apple ring. HIDES AND SHOES Regardless of what you hear, the high price of shoes has little to do with the price of hides. An agricultural economist says doubling the price of hides should add only about 75 cents to the price of a pair of shoes. PUREBREDS BEST Crossbreeding has proved its value in beef and swing produc tion Is there an overall economic advantage to crossbreeding dairy cows? Not according to a 14 - year experiment by Marvin Scale, University of Manitoba dairy scientist. Seale compared purebred Holsteins with a rotational cross of Holsteins, Brown Swiss and Ayrshires, Purebreds outperformed crossbreds in both milk production and butterfat teat. Crossbreds did live longer, on the average, had fewer reproductive problems, and were more fertile.

K OSS OF MEAT ' Buying meat in quantity such as a half or quarter may be a good way of saving money, but remember that meat sold in bulk sold at its hanging weight - uncut and untrimmed. For example, a wu pound sideof beef may trim down to half that weight, so figure the price per pound accordingly. The Federal Trade Commission has suggested That firms reveal in their advertisements the average weight loss that occurs when meat is cut, trimmed and dressed for home freezer storage.
