JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES Compiled by County Office 0. S. C. Extension Service Seed Mixture! Alio Protected In addition to supporting prices of grass and legume seeds "pure," the WFA has set up sup port prices for certain seed mix tures. Of particular interest to northwest producers is the sup port for a mixture of Ladino and Alsike clovers. Alone, Ladino is supported at $1.50 per pound and Alsike at 25 cents. A mix ture of the two will be support ed at a price proportional to the percentage of each clover In the mix. However, if the mixture runs more than 75 per cent Al aike, the whole lot goes at the Alsike support price. Other mix tures under the new schedule are white, Persian and hop clov ers and black medic; and blue and side oats gramma. The sup port prices apply to only the seeds which are cleaned, bagged, tagged, and delivered to desig nated warehouse. The idea back of the support program, of course, is to get more seed har vested. In case you haven't heard this a hundred times before, I'll let you in on some urgent news we need every ounce of grass and legume seed we can get and its a profitable crop this year especially. Machinery Distribution Under AAA Control The new "production year" for farm machinery begins the first of July. The farmer, of course. is principally interested, right now, in getting enough machin ery to get through 1944. There's no getting around the fact that this fall's haying and harvesting equipment are behind produc tion schedules, but it s some help to know that transportation bottlenecks will be avoided far as possible. A new temporary distribution plan calls for each manufacturer to distribute up to 70 per cent of his quota of rationed items on a state or county quota basis. To avoid distribution "freezes manufacturers will be required to notify the WFA when 80 per cent of the items have been dis tributed so that further releases can be planned ahead of time. To keep machinery evenly spread, there will be a limit to the amount of machinery any manu facturer can ship into any county without state AAA approval. Producers Lead Poultry Increase Greatest percentage increase in production of poultry on farms since 1941 has occurred in regions which must Import feed, a recent USDA study indi' cates. Biggest expansion has been in hens and pullets and chickens raised, the two classes of poultry which require the relatively greatest supply of feed. Over-all, poultry cats approximately one fifth of the U. S. feed supply (ex cluding roughage). Consumer Cooperation . Needed In Ess Storage Commercial cold storage Is filled, and individual cooperation is needed to put the temporary gurplus problem In eees over the last hurdle so the WFA has ask ed every home in America to tore an extra dozen or more eggs In the refrigerator. There were 25,000,000 dozen eggs for which no cold storage apace could be found. Spoilage .THIS VARNISH LIGHTENS HOUSEWORK!

Egg production this spring has been far above cur rent needs which has resulted In commercial cold storage space becoming crowded to capacity, but the seasonal decline in pro duction has begun. Saving the current abundance Is simply a matter of a "little cooperation from a lot of people." R. G. Fowler, County Agent. Get Tour Vitamins Through Greens Serve your family vitamins through the beet greens and tur nip greens that are tender in your garden now. Greens furnish a good supply of vitamins and minerals which are important) for good buoyant health. Vita mins A and C and iron are the chief food values found, also niacin, riboflavin and calcium. Good eyesight, healthy tissues, and good blood are dependent on these food essentials. Research has found that there is more food value in the tops of the beets and turnip than in L Is On the vegetable tself. However, you need not sacrifice either. The vegetables may be cooked and served with the tops. Many fam ilies like the baby beets, especial ly well, in combination with the beet greens. This combination also will add variety to your supply of canned goods. A few canned Jars will afford good eat ing when the prime garden sea son is past. If the family garden is really serving as a victory garden this year, not a single vitamin will go to waste. Make a point of using the greens In salads as a part of the crisp raw vegetables. Cut the greens up at the last minute to prevent loss of vita mins from association with the air. Serving the greens raw will save more of the vitamin C which is so necessary for healthy gums and skin. Careful washing of greens Is a time-consuming job, but the excellent food value which they give makes it worth the effort. It is best to wash the greens by lifting them from one pan of water to the next. The soil from the leaves settles to the bottom of the pan. Wash until the water is clear. The national and state nutri tion standard calls for each per son to have at least one serving of green leafy vegetables daily Beet and turnip greens will help ET'S face it. The toughest the war has arrived The the Jap Fleet Is Being This year men aren't just thinking of attacking the enemy on the bloody invasion fronts. They're doing itnow and it's costing a lot of them their lives. Think of this hard when you're think ing of doubling your bond purchases Published In Cooperation With the to meet this requirement with economy and high food value. Here are suggestions for using beet and turnip greens: Wash and cook them in a min imum amount of water quickly until just tender. Season with butter, salt and vinegar. Serve the greens with a med ium white sauce. The addition of hard cooked eggs will give more food value and make the dish more colorful. Prepare just before serving and prepare just the amount your family will eat and relish greens aren't as de sirable or attractive when warm ed over. Use the greens In any of your favorite vegetable salads. If it's a new idea, serve a little at first until the family becomes used to the idea. Marian J.
