Farmers Go Collegiate
Despite the spotlighting of planes, tanks, block busters,
and all the new scientific marvels of war, our army still
marches on its stomach. That is one of the reasons why the
government is trying to increase American farm production.
Its latest move is the government-sponsored Farm Exten
sion Program at Ohio State university. Here Kentucky
farmers, who had wrested a living from the soil by the hard
old method of strenuous manual labor, were trained to
operate modern farm machinery that enables one man to
do the work of several and thereby produce more food for
our armed forces, allies, and
home front. Four hundred
farmers were trained in three
months.

Merry Christmas to You!
Whether you walk where there Is
hard-packed snow under your feet
and the cracKie
of frost as you
walk or whether
you reoline under
lazy palm trees
with the sun beat
ing down on you
in all its warmth,
may this be your
merriest Christ
JIUUWJ 'mas . . for this
is the time of year to lay down the
heaviness of spirit and to think only
of goodwill toward men.
There’s an elegance about Christ
mas dinner which you can’t avoid
even if you serve the simplest of
food. Perhaps it is the spirit with
which it’s prepared and the blessing
with which it is eaten. Whatever it
is, make the most of it with what
ever you have.
And now to the bustling and busy
ness that is Christmas. If your
choice for the dinner is ham, and
you’ve been saving your points for
it, prepare it thus:
•Christmas Ilam.
1 smoked ham
2 cups fruit juice
1 cup brown sugar
2 dozen whole cloves
Place the ham rind side up, on an
open roasting pan. Bake in a slow
oven <325 degrees) for 18 minutes
per pound for the average size ham,
10 to 12 pounds; 16 to 17 minutes for
larger hams, 12 to 15 pounds. When
ham has been baked for required
length of time remove from oven
and cut away the rind. Score ham
with a sharp knife, rub sugar over
surface and stick „
C
with cloves. Pour
1 cup fruit juice
over it. Return to
oven and bake at/
400 degrees for \
20 minutes. Baste
frequently with
remaining cup of juice.
If the ham is precooked, it needs
only to be heated thoroughly before
the glazing.
You’ve chosen a turkey for the
Yule meal? Then, here’s the stuffing
for it:
Savory Stuffing.
(For a 12-pound bird)
8 cups toasted bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
\\ teaspoon pepper
% teaspoon each of sweet marjor
am, thyme, celery leaves and
parsley, or
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
*A teaspoon grated orange or lemon
peel
2 onions, diced
2 tablespoons fat
1 PRS
Y\ cup of hot water, stock or milk
Toast bread and break into
crumbs. Blend crumbs and season
ing together lightly. Fry onion until
light brown in fat, mix with bread
a.’d seasonings. Stir in slightly beat
en egg and liquid. Cool mixture and

Decorative Notes: Dazzling
bouquet for your Christmas table
would be shimmering Ciiristmas
tree balls wired to stems. Use
several ornaments to each stem
and use the same wire that is
used for fresh flower bouquets.
Little evergreen branches can in
termingle with the colorful balls
to carry out the Yule idea.
Silvered twigs are pretty with
red and green gumdrops. Use a
low black bowl for this setting,
or place them on one of those
pale blue mirrors which you may
have.
Favorite in many homes is the
iced gingerbread house. Make a
gingerbread dough, roll out and
cut to fit house. Put together
with white icing, sprinkle the
whole with shimmering silver
snow and set on a cardboard base
or mirror. Miniature figures can
be used in this setting.

Sometimes the family receives as
much pleasure from the relish as
they do from the meat of the day.
Here is a delightful, colorful relish:
•Cranberry-Apple Relish.
(Makes VA quarts)
4 cups fresh cranberries
2 apples, pared and cored
2 oranges

rind and all; re
move seeds and
chop. Add sugar
and blend. Place
in jar; cover
closely and chill

This will keep indefinitely.
Vegetables to go with dinner are
important. These two will harmo
nize in color and texture to comple
ment your entree:
•Fried Brussels Sprouts.
Serves 6)
1 onion, chopped
3 tablespoons drippings
4 cups cooked brussels sprouts
Cook onion in butter until tender,
add sprouts and toss gently until
thoroughly heated.

4 large yams or sweet potatoes
ft cup margarine
2 well-beaten eggs

2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

garine and bake until brown, about

♦Beet-Olive Salad.
(Serves 6)
4 cups cooked beets, cut in strips
ft cup sliced, stuffed olives
3 tablespoons french dressing
Toss together beets, olives and
french dressing. Serve in lettuce
cups.
It would no longer be practical to
give an elaborate recipe for fruit
cake, so here is one more simple
than I’ve given in other years. It is
delicious. Pick over xruit carefully,
chop rather than grind it:
•Wartime Fruit Cake.
1 cup dried apricots
94 cup sugar
'/i cup shortening
4 eggs
1 cup seedless raisins
94 cup candied cherries
94 cup candied orange peel
94 cup candied citron
94 cup blanched almonds
94 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 cups flour
94 teaspoon salt
Eoil apricots 1 minute, drain, then
slice. Cream sugar with shortening,
add eggs beaten until light and
thick, then combine with fruit and
almonds. Slice cherries, orange
peel, and citron before measuring.
Add flour sifted with salt and beat
thoroughly. Pour into small, greased
oven glass dish, cover with glass
top and bake 194 hours in a slow
oven, 275 degrees.

* ery where children have all
their clutter and playthings but
this winter we will be thinking
about ways and means for every
one to have their special interests,
hobbies and pleasure right in
whichever cozy room that may
be heated easily. That is the way
it was done in the “good old
days’’; and there is certainly no
reason that w'e can’t do it now
with a few special ideas of our
own in the way of efficiency and
comfort. Why not make a gay
toy chest that may be wheeled into
the room? And why can’t the lid
be used for a play table?
You may have scraps of plywood
or composition board that may be
used for the chest. Even the wheels
of this chest are cut out of wood,
and here is a good chance to use
some of those odds and ends of
bright paint that you have saved
from time to time.
