Pressure on Slaw Heat Can a pressure saucepan used successfully on a slow cookstove? This is a question frequently asked by farm housewives who have slow- fieatlng kerosene, coal -or wood ranges. They want to know whether pressure cooking, works as well oh a alow stove as on modem gas or electric stove. The answer, according -to 'the Maine Experiment Station is: If depends on, how slow thfe: stove Pressure saucepans used i.

stove gives off heat fast enough to toli away: 2 measuring cups water in 30 minutes. The Station suggests this easy way of testing. Measure. 4 cups JOlling hot: water in a 3-quar saucepan, put on: the covet anc xill on fastest heat for 30 minutes- Then measure the amount of water that Is left. If less than 2 cups ot water is the stove Is fast enough for pressure cooking.

On a coal or wood range sure cooker may be useful as time- saver rather than a fuel-saver. Because it takes longer to build up the pressure on a slow 'stove, tender vegetables are llkaly to cook too much if cooked under Texan Wins Liars Title With tall Tale of a Fly Death in Pool Game wer ffwrn their ribbons at the December 4-K new members wf re In and thejr are:" Patty Hughie Bruner Don P.yberg,' Well Ryl Darllne Rodgem.

"When they got all their bets' made, Charley chalked: his 47-ounce, solid oak knocked the 8-bali but from under that fly so fast that it fell on the table' and broke its back." Hopley, who receives his maU at the Southern Pacific's east yard at Ean Antonio, was declared the winner in a close 4 finish.

Ka Grass Seed ProducUua The reseedlng of a perennial grass cover to vast acreages of laad now In Kansas will bW necessary within the next few years' to provide more pasturage and to the ravages of soil erosion Tnat prediction comes from -Kllrjg Anderson, pasture imDrov'unent specialist In the agronomy department Kansas State College in Manhattan. If the prices of cash crops should the immediate need and demand.for grass seed would be great that seed prices undoubtedly would increase even bsyond their present high level, Anderson says. In the past, he rays, because most farmers preferred to- raise cash, rather than grass for seed we've depended largely on seed ed from native psatures to supply our needs.

The seed production In native grasses Is irregular, to sav the least, and It looks as It we shan to plant seed producing if we are to produce even a fraction of the native grasi we need, Anderson says. Where seed production the major objective, the "planting will differ from pasture planting. More seed can be produced -and stands will stay productive longer when native grasses are sown in rows rather than in plantings. Weeds can be kept down more easily, Anderson. says, and in addition, row do not become "sod-bound" as rapidly." Nitrogen fertilization to correct the "sod-bound condition is much less successful In native grasses than in brome grass, because the native species grow in the summer when temperatures are high and when moisture may be short, Anderson says.
