Clip and keep these recipes for complete roster of rhubarb cookery, Rhubarb Cocktail Cook until tender 2 cups rhubarb, diced in 1 cup water. Another month has rolled a-round and the D.A.R. column is again due. The organization is doing so many things that it is difficult to decide which project is the most important. But what is more important than showing our own people, in our own country, how to live and make the most of their lives in spite of environment, poverty, and miles and miles of mountain country between them and the privileges of modern civilization For that reason I shall take as my subject this month, the Kate Duncan Smith School which was founded and is owned by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

It is built at Grant, on Gunter Mountain, which is one of the Appalachian Range, in Marshall County, Alabama. It is nine miles from a railroad and serves an area of 100 square miles. The community is primitive and isolated cut off from the rest of the state by rivers on two sides. In this community people have lived for generations with an almost separate civilization. The homes are one, two, or perhaps three-room cabins with a "lean-to" and a loft.

Water for Rhubarb First Fruit of Spring Spring is here again. After the longest winter of our lives. After months of graving davs. when the slush in the streets echoed the slush in our hearts spring has come at last! The hills are greening. Sprays of gold forsythia tumble from the hedges.

Small nubbins, nestled under mulch and brush, thrust shyly through the soft brown earth, their yellowed leaves wrapped closely around blushing tips. This is the first fruit of spring pie plant, or rhubarb, it you will. Soon the crinkled leaflets will unfurl, the rosy stalks shoot straight and slender from the earth. Now is the time to bring fresh rhubarb to your table. And you can place it there without using much or even any sugar.

Wipe the baby stalks with gentle stroke. Don't peel. The tender skins will toughen soon enough. But now they are the merest wisp of membrane that will vanish at a touch of heat. Cut in inch-long pieces.

Stew, covered, with a small amount of water. Sweeten simply and serve. No other taste is such a harbinger of spring. No other flavor so pure, so concentrate a sweet and sour. When done, your tongue, your teeth, your very body feels lean, bone-clean, renewed again.

Serve rhubarb often stewed, in cocktails, tarts, and compotes.

Revised Feed Prices Savings to farmers are expected to result from OPA's revision of retail prices of animal and poultry feeds. Previously, the retailer has been allowed a fixed mark-up of $7.60 a ton on all kinds of feeds. Now, feeds have been classified, and there is a schedule of markups ranging from $5.50 to $10.00 a ton. Ceiling on Sausage Frankfurters, bologna, and fresh and smoked sausage, which make up about 60 percent of all sausage sold in this country, are now under wholesale ceiling prices fixed by OPA. Cents-per-pound retail prices will be established by OPA in the near future.

Butter, Cheese Orders Fifty percent of butter and 70 percent of all cheddar cheese pro duced in May, June, and July must be held for government uses, the WFA has announced. Thirty percent of butter and 50 percent of cheese has been required for government use since February. No Quota on Used Truck Tires An eligible truck operator who is unable to get rationing certificates for new tires because his rationing board has exhausted its quota can obtain certificates for used tires instead, according to OPA. Local boards have been authorized to issue truck tire certificates without regard to quota restrictions. Home Economics Clothes Moth Damage Can Be Reduced Easily Did you succeed in catching the little cream colored moths which fluttered out when you moved the coats in the closet or took your hat out of the box? Probably not, for that moth has a way of dropping out of sight and creeping into a dark corner where it continues its mission.

The moth's mission is to lay hundreds of tiny, soft white eggs, which in a few weeks hatch into wormlike larvae. If the eggs have been laid and hatched in the clothes closet, the larvae can start at once to feed on your precious woolens. The larvae may grow and eat over a period of several months, and thrive best in warm temperature. Homemakers preparing to store woolen clothing1 for the summer, will do well to have it thoroughly clean. Some garments will be sent to the dry cleaner, others can be washed in mild soapsuds, and others will need only a thorough brushing and airing, brushing both right and wrong sides and giving special attention to seams, pockets, cuffs, and collars.

Moths dislike bright light and hate to be disturbed. Clean clothes will be free of moths and eggs, but they must be protected from future infestation. The safest way to do this is to store woolen garments in a box or trunk with tight fitting lid and using a moth preventive, such as moth balls, paradichlorobenzene, napthalene flakes, or a spray. As these substances evaporate, thev form a gas that is heavier than air, so put them on the of the clothing in the box so the fumes can penetrate the fabrics. Keep boxes and trunks closed because frequent opening will reduce the effectiveness of the gas.

Seal all openings in paper packages with gummed paper. Fresh Fish Provide Essential Food Values In these days of rationed meat supplies, why not make the most of fresh fish, either from the market or nearby streams? Fish is a source of easily digested proteia that is needed to build and repair body tissues. Fish is especially valuable for its mineral content. Fish furnish iron and copper" that are needed to maintain a healthy blood stream and sea fish also provide iodine, another essential mineral. All -the fat fish and fish liver oils are the principal source of vitamin A and D.

For variety fish can be baked, broiled, fried, or boiled. It can be salted. dipped in milk, then rolled ill cornmeal or other cereal, the tw dotted with fat and baked in the oven. Leftover fish can he made into croquettes or cutlets, scallop ed dishes, sandwich fillings, or salads. If the fish is lean, serve it with rich sauce to pep it up.

Hard cooked eggs cut up in a cream sauce, or a cheese sauce, or a to mato sauce are a few suggestions. the fish is fat, serve it with a relish or a tart sauce. Parsley, water cress, or lemon are excellent garnishes for fish. With a fish dinner, serve a criso green salad, and top off the meal with grapefruit or lemon flavored dessert. If you dislike the fish smell on your hands after preparing fish.

wash them in salt water before washing with soap. Do the same with the pans in which you cook fish, and presto, the smell is gone. MIRIAM E. RICE. Home Ec.

Ext. Representative ing- a dry hot season. As much as tons may be expected to the acre on Gunter Mountain and not more than 3 percent go to college. Training in agriculture and home economics take the place of foreign languages. Enough simple chemistry is taught to further the economical operation of their farms and homes.

There are adult classes in what are called com pleting Two buildings were filled recently with workers making mattresses. The cost was 60 cents to each person, and more than 100 were made to renlace the "corn shuck" variety and make mountain slumber more restful. The agricultural teacher goes over the whole mountain, supervising crops, doctoring livestock, installing better farming methods, teaching rotation of crops and con servation of soil, spraying fruit trees, and taking farmers to visit experimental stations. The Connecticut D.A.R. gave the Ann Rogers Minor Practice Col lege where the Home Economics teacher lives and has under her supervision four girls each month The girls, in each year of High School, spend a month the cot-tae-e for practical training in all phases of home making.

-One of the girls' mothers said "You can't learn to cook out ot a book but the girls think differently. Better methods in home canning and cooking have been introduced. Five hundred yound people, interested in worth while things during school, returning to their homes at night with new ideas for better living, may be giving to the parents many opportunities denied them in their youth. Talk of Home Missions! Isn't this the finest kind of Home Missionary work practical religion making fine men and women of these deserving American boys and Instead of sending bundles to "Shangri-La" or some other place of which you know about as much, why not send a few bundles of usable clothing to the Kate Duncan School The Great Crossings chapter sends a box of many bun dies each year. It is always a plea sure to help people who are trying to help themselves, and are ap preciative.

There are many interesting things to be told about this won derful school, but they will have to wait until next month, because the kind editors of The Republican GIVE us this space in their paper, and we really do not want to be greedy.

To safeguard dependents and others who regularly receive gov ernment checks the following procedure is urged by the U. S.

Secret Service to help stop theives and forgers: 1. Some member of the family should always be at home when checks are due to be delivered. 2. All mail boxes should be equipped with a lock, and the indi vidual's name should be printed clearly on the outside of the box. 3.

Checks should be cashed in the same place each month, making laenuncation easier. 4. Checks should not be endorsed until you are in the presence of the person who is to cash it. Prosecute Poultry Racketeers New court actions 88 of them against violators of price ceilings on poultry were started between April 15 and April 30, in OPA's intensified drive to stamp out black markets. Of the 88, 72 were injunction suits and 16 were criminal prosecutions.

In addition, the enforcement division issued stat utory warnings first step toward license revocation to 15 other poultry sellers. Maximum Prices on Poultry Poultry raisers who sell live birds at their farms must observe the maximum prices OPA has set for the nearest city, town, or village. Ceiling prices for 56 representative cities were recentlv issued. For broilers, fryers, roosters, and light capons the prices range from 27.5 cents per pound for Chicago, County Agent's Weekly Letter Young Calves Do Best If Kept Off Pasture Pasture grass too often is considered an ideal feed for young calves and they are turned out as soon us the grass is green. While grass is an excellent feed, a young calf somach has not developed enough to handle sufficient grass to keep the calf growing as it should.

As a result, many calves that are started well get a real setback when they are turned inlo pasture. Calves do best when they are not turned on pasture until they are approximately 12 months of age. They should not be given a quick change from dry feed to pas ture. It is better to continue grain and hay feeding for several days until the heifers beeomn ac customed to pasture grass. In fact, heifers will do better if they ret some dry nay an summer.

Tne dry hay slows up the movement of the grass through the digestive tract and calves will make much better use of the -grass they eat. Heifers should be watched cloeely during the summer and kept in a thrifty, growing condition. Such eare results in larg er cows, which are better milk producers on the average than small cows. Potato Planting Potatoes like most other farm crops will germinate better in warm soil than in cool soil. Po tatoes coming out of storage are cold.

The is cold. These two conditions are sure to result in a poor stand. It will be much better to get the potatoes out of storage and warm them up before planting. This is not the year to take any chances The above suggestion is one of the phases of good farm management We must have maximum produc tion in all of our crops. Conserve Fruits Next winter your fruit bins am cupboards may be bare.

The es timate now is that there will be no more than a 60 apple crop and more likely less. In some sections 100 of the stone fruits are frozen. In a few sections there will be half a crop. Good Emergency Hay and Pasture Needed With the increased dairy cow population there will be greater need for hay, pasture and eilage on many Somerset countv rarms in 194 3. Many alfalfa and clover fiends have suffered severe winter injury and cannot produce as well as expected this season.

Hay. pasture, and silage are the feeds which a good dairyman must row at 'home in adeauate amounts, since they seldom can be provided otherwise. Plenty of ood legume hay and silage reduce the need for high protein concentrates. Clover seed will undoubtedly be scarce and expensive next spring. Harvesting of clover seed at home should be given serious consideration: this depends on an adequate supply of hay and pas ture exclusive of the second crop of clover.

Soybeans provide an emergency hay crop almost equal to alfalfa. They may also be run into the silo, either alone or with corn, to add protein and carotene to the ration. Soybeans can be put in on corn stubble and, if cut for hay. may be followed by winter grain. They will generally be more profitable than a crop of oats, es pecially if the oats are late-sown.

Sudan grass is also a good emergency hay crop. It can be sown about the first of June at the rate of 25 pounds to the acre, and harvested when in the bloom stage. It is a warm weather living crop. It will do better dur- a If the Mother's and Daughter's Banquet The girls of the Christian Endeavor Society of the Confluence Christian Church entertained their mothers at a Mother's and Daughter's banquet on Tuesday evening, May 12th, at 6 o'clock in the Church Sunday School room.

Malnutrition is another problem resulting in rickets. Education is the only way out, and here the D.A.R. stepped in. The school is open to the public, but grounds and buildings are owned and controlled by the Daughters of the American Revo lution, through a board of trustees. Although only about seventeen years old, the school has over 600 eager pupils.

It is a consolidated county school, teaching all twelve grades, and an accredited Senior High School. The school curriculum has been modified to meet the needs, rather than college entrance requirements, since 90 percent of Ration News RATIONING FOOD Cottage cheese, cream cheese, and cheese spreads containing less than 30 per cent by weight of natural cheese are not included in the rationing program. Meat extracts, or bouillon cubes, are not included in rationed items. Clam juice, clam broth, or clam cocktail iuice are not rationed as they do not come under canned fish. Tomato sauce, when packed in combination packages of spaghetti or Macaroni dinners, is not rationed.

Any food product, other than meat, prepared ready to serve is not rationed unless packed in sealed containers. For example. home-baked beans, home-made veg- etable soup, when sold through a store and not in hermetically sealed packages, are not rationed. The last registration date for wholesalers under the meat, fats, rationing program is May 24, 194d Wholesalers, under the meat program, may apply for and obtain from their local rationing boards inventory adjustments at or after registration dates.

Points On fg2 Point Rationing tcSN ALTHOUGH recipes which stretch your allowance of rationed foodstuffs may take longer to prepare, they are well worth the extra time they consume.

Not only do such recipes also give variety and interest to menus that need an extra frill or two to compensate for wartime shortages, but they provide as well a way of introducing additional vitamins, Juices and liquids from canned fruits and vegetables should never be discarded as they have im portant vitamin and mineral con tent Vegetable Liquids can be used for soups, gravies, and for gelatin salads. The fruit juices can be used for sweetening, boiled down to use as syrups with hot breads, for sherbets and as dessert sauces. To assist homemakers with their ration problems, the Amer ican Can Company is making available a series of recipes for stretching canned foodstuffs which have been tested in their home economics department under direction of Miss Isabel Young.
