And as they seek surcease From all its bitter grief and pain, What will they pay for peace? I wonder what we. as individuals and as a nation, are prepared ‘to pay for the boon of peace. Whatever it may be, it will be infinitesimal in comparison with the price which humanity has paid and is still paying for the curse of war. The world is ripe for peace—if, at this time, it is not, it never will be. Visions of a world freed from the ehreat of wanton. strife, stir very heart. The accord achieved at Dumbarton Oaks, in the Crimea and Mexico, give substance to our hopes and inspire confidence in the future co-operation of peace desiring nations. PS c What price peace? A willingness to compromise, work for and sustain necessary adjustments; but what of that? We have compromised and adjusted oursedves to the promotion of war, can we do as much for the establishment of peace? ee We hear timid souls speaking in-hushed tones of “our sovereignty.” Surely our sovereignty-as a nation, will be preserved and:no vital part of it lost; but if a bit of it is given that the federation of the world may live, is that too great a price . ° to pay? The American pioneer took possession of the wilderness selected the portion of land he desired, established hmiself upon it, fought the Indians single handed and considered himself monarch of all he surveyed, a sovereign in his own right; but with the coming of new settlers, the processes of compromise began and cooperation, the pooling of resources and the sharing of responsibilities. A portion of the first pioneers sovereignty was sacrificed that the new community might grow and thrive, become peaceful and worthy. : Those. who live in towns and cities give up a part of their individual sovereignty for the good of the community, they pay taxes and deport themselves with decorum; they often find that their individual freedoms are somewhat restricted. They cannot jeopardize the peace and safety of their neighbors, by overt acts; they are inhibited in many ways, even in the manner of their public speech. They do not complain— that is, if they are wise, for tre laws and regulations which govern them, are their safeguards and insure to them the advantages and conveniences of civilization. : : I wonder if those who are delegated to the San Francisco conference, realize their high calling. To unite with other peace loving nations and perfect a plan fora just and lasting peace —no task could ever be more sublime: It is to be hoped that our delegates will be ‘wise as serpents and harmless as doves’, that they will exercise patience, judgment and derstanding, make the necessary concessions and adjustment in order that the price for peace may be paid, and the world at last redeemed from the ravages of war.—A. M. Conner. THEY WON’T SELL APPLES . The weight and the ingenuity of weapons unconceived before this war, and perfected only under the necessity to fight for our lives are turning the tide toward victory today. The scientific principles underlying many of those weapons, diverted to peace time uses, are expected to accomplish almost as revoluntionary changes in our way of living as they are accomplishing now in their military application. The indispensable link between the battle bred Frankensetins and their peace time counterparts, geared to useful work instead of destruction, will be the trained men who must accomplish the conversion and operate the new machines in domestic use. The broad and comparatively new field of electronics, it is reported, will require many thousands of trained engineers. Prior to the war, it took four to six years to fully qualify a man in this work. Since radar has become so valuable an adjunct in the fighting the Navy by a concentrated system of visual education and practical experience, has been training men in a mere ten months. ‘After four months, our men are good technicians and can be used in industry,” says Capt. Wm. C. Eddy, commanding officer of the Navy Radar Training Center at Chicago. ““Then we really pour it on—for six months _ longer. When they get out, those boys are reelly the eyes and ears of their ships.” Men trained in war time electronics will find their peace time place, Capt. Eddy believes, in television, in medical and other scientific research, in education, in laboratory work, and in viutrally all types of engineering, for electronics will affect nearly every phase of our modern living. The field is wide open and men between the ages of 17 and 51 who can pass the aptitude tests still are needed by thousands. And when their war job is done the,y won't have to sell apples.If every veteran could come out of the war better equipPad by education and training than when he went in, for a place in the peace time world, we would need to feel little ap_ prehension over the comiing readjustment period.

FAT THRIFT : Wise use of left over kitchen fats first step in helping the present fat salvage campaign, the U. S. epartment of Agriculture suggests to the housewife. Turning in all. fat drippings and leftovers indiscriminately for salvage, may not do as much for the nation’s fat supplies as using the good flavored left over fats in home cooking, and then contributing to salvage any excess fat, or fat that strong in flavor or rancid. -The housewife who turns in 4 pounds of ‘good bacon. drippings, for example, and then buys a 4spound jar of fat for her home cooking does not increase the overall fat supply, and individually loses points " and money in the exchange, All leftover fat can be saved and used again unless it is too strong in flavor or scorched. Saved fats may include drippings from roast or the ‘broiled meat: or poultry; trimmings from pork, beef and puoltry, properly rendered; and good flavored fats from frying. The last drop of fat should be poured from prying pan, ‘broiler and kettle to use in gravy; sauces; breads like waffles, —biscuits and muffins; stuffings for the meat and poultry. ‘and also for flavoring cooked vegetables and cooking very lean meat. Drippings as they come from the pan hold good meat flavor which makes these dishes extra delicious. Left over fat that has been rendered and strained may be used in piec rust, cakes, gingerbread, and quick breads generally. Left over fats also may be used t butter breadcrumbs for topping . scalloped diches. : Lamb and mutton fat, which /has its own decided flavor, may, be used in cooking if the flavor is sked by onion, celery or other seasonings. . Fats saved from cooking Spoil more quickly than new fat, so should be kept cold and used as soon ag possible. If they are used promptly, they can be poured directly from the pan into a glass or jar, and then kept in the refrigerator. If they are to be held for some time, strain through‘a clean cloth before storing, because fat containing particles of meat or other food turns rancid faster than strained fat. 5 DISCREDITED PRACTICES . Changed practices in agriculture in which experimental work has led the way were recently reviewed by J. E. Knott, professor of truck crovs and plant physiology of the Unviersity Agricultural Experiment Station at Davis, For many years the idea prevailed that the more times 4 plant was transplanted before it was set out in the field, the better it would produce. We know now that each time a plant is transplanted it is checked in growth. Deep and frequent stirring of the soil of the root zone of vegetables while they are growing has been repeatedly shown during the last 20 or 25 years to be unnecessary and with some, vegetables definitely ina . . See jurious to the root system. This practice dries out the soil and prevents Maximum root development in the richest soil layer. A well prepared seed bed followed by shallow cultivation only often enough to control the weeds is the best practice to follow. The removal of suckers from the Sweet corn was considered essential years “ag0, but—experiments showed that is was unnecessary, and if done at the improper time might actually be injurious. Bulbing of onions has been shown to be a function of the inter-relationship of temperature and the number of hours of daylight. Some. varieties require only 13 hours per day, while others need as much as 14. hours in each 24 before they will begin to form bulbs. Higher temperatures tend to give bulbing a start at somewhat shorter day while under cooler temperatures the same variety will need a longer day. People used to think that the biennial crops’ like cabbage, celery, and so forth, would bolt to seed the first year if they were’ frozen down or if they suffered.a severe check in growth. Experiments have shown that these two conditiong will actually delay seedstalks formation even if enough cool weather has prevailed to cause the shift from vegetable to reproductive growth. It was not the freezing that caused seedstalks to develop, but the prolonged period of relatively cool _. temperatures which occurred at the time, and it was the freeze which was remembered. ‘ Piling on excessive quantities of nitrogen during the winter months sometimes is injurious rather than helpful to vegetables. If the soil temperatures is warm enough for root activity to take place, then it 1s warm enough for the micro organisms in the soil which make nitrogen available to plants to be active also. COLOR OF CAN LID NOT SIGN OF SPOILAGE . Discoloration of the inside of metal lids in home canned fruits usually is harmless, and if the fruit is not otherwise spoiled, it may be eaten with safety, according to ‘Virginia Black, Emergency Food Preservation Assistant in the Agricultural Extension Service office. Even though the lid is covered with lacquer or enamel, the coating is not always perfect and a smal} amount of the metal may be exposed; this may rust if air is left in the jar. Certain foods, especially peas and corn, contain considerable sulfur; some of_this may be broken down during the processing in the gas hydrogen sulfide which reacts with the metal of the lid to form a sulfides which are brown or black,]. the most common sause of discolored areas in lids. Lids may be stained a purplish color by berries or dark cherries, or they may have a scum of dark mold on them.

Spot Farm News: Addition of ice cream to army menus at battlefronts will probably increase military packaging requirements for 1945 by 400 million cartons. Decrease” in numbers of livestock” plus record produ?tion of feed_grains in 1944 has bettered the feed situation. As of January 1 supplies of feed grain per animal unit was 27 per cent more than a year earlier. It may be easier to gat turkey for your 1945 Thanksgiving dinner than it was last year, unless military demand increases. Turkey production is eight per cent higher than in 1944. DDT, the war developed insect killer, is now released in limited amounts for agricultural and other civilian experimentation, cording to WPB. Formerly requests for DDT for research work required individual application to WPB and almost the. entire supply was reserv= ed for military uses. Western regional USDA laboratory has developed a unique spread among jams and jelly products in the course of studies on the uses for frozen fruit juices. This is uncooked, cold processed, chilled and frozen fruit which holds natural color, flavor and nutritive value and uses little sugar. acBIRTH VALENTA—In Nevada City, Nevada County, March 6, 1945, to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Valenta, a daughter.
