Putting the War on Film In the photographic science laboratory at the U. S. naval station. Anacostia, D. C., a staff of expert technicians labor to put the war on film. The camera has many assignments in war from " ♦ - reconnaissance to illustrating history books. A flying cameraman hangs over the side of his plane with seventy-five pounds of expensive equipment. He is urged not to return without bringing back at least the handles. Top: View of part of the washing, drying and sorting installa• tions. Thousands of prints are made on each eight-hour shift. An increasing number of WAVES are being assigned to the labora tory. Bottom: Large tank washers finish photographs. A WAVE cuts negatives after editing for release printing. This technician operates a giant copying camera. Victory Parade Rinding is another task handled by the laboratory. Enlisted men and women bind books, publications and other navy literature. Front exterior view of the laboratory. Inside is housed the navy s most modern and extensive photographic equipment. Color photographs are produced from separation negatives like the one being viewed here. Quick Pickup . . . Cookies and Milk (See Recipes Below) Fill the Cookie Jar Sometimes I think the cookie jar is the favorite piece of equipment in the American home — especial ly in the kitchen. At least it's the most popular, and that’s not just among the young sters for many a time the oldsters make the path to the cookie jar just as often as the children. If there are cookies in the house, then it’s the kind of a house that spells “Welcome Home,” for cook ies are not just delightful to have, they often take the edge off hunger when it's most necessary—after school, or after a meal to give it the finishing touch. Cookies aren’t hard to make. They last longer than cakes. They take less ingredients, and they go much further. Keep a list of favor ites on hand that will keep the cookie jar filled no matter how popu lar that jar is! Save Used Fats! Oatmeal and peanut butter have long been popular ingredients in cookies, but here they are together —guaranteed to be doubly popular: Oatmeal-Peanut Butter Cookies.

It’s fun to make cookies when you have the “know-it-all” right at hand. Make it easy for yourself by following these simple directions: Start heating the oven before you actually make the cookies so all will be in readiness when you pop the sheets in the oven. Assemble all the equipment needed. Assemble and measure the ingredients. Prepare cookie sheets next. If cookies contain much fat, sheets need not be greased. Pans for bars should be buttered, lined with waxed paper, then buttered again. Shortening creams best at room temperature. It should not be melted as this injures texture and Savor of cookie. Eggs are usually well beaten before added to the shortening and sugar. If the quantity of eggs is small, they may be added directly to shortening and sugar.

Bacteria Living in Soil Often Impotent Greatest need of farmers in meet ing their wartime crop production goals is nitrogen—and their ablest allies in meeting this need are the legume bacteria, capable of hiking nitrogen from the air. Inoculation i of alfalfa, clovers, soybeans, peas and beans with selected strains of | nitrogen-fixing bacteria often en i ables their legumes to harvest from one to two hundred pounds of nitro gen per acre. Legume bacteria vary in their ability to aid legumes in taking ni trogen from the air. According to a report by Wayne Umbreit in Wis consin’s latest edition of ’’What’s New in Farm Science”—"on the av erage, only about one-fourth of the root-nodule bacteria found in the soil The roots of this red clover plant are full of nodules, showing excel lent bacterial action. The clover seed was Inoculated before planting. are good nitrogen-fixers, one-half are fair and the remaining one fourth poor. This means that if farmers depend on bacteria in the soil to inoculate their legume seed, under most conditions they are like ly to get only from one-fourth to one-half as much nitrogen as they might with good, fresh cultures.” Since there is no way of determin ing before seeding whether the soil contains sufficient numbers of the right kind of bacteria—and the av erage cost of inoculation is no more than ten cents an acre—farmers can well afford to invest in this low-cost form of crop insurance. Either the humus or agar type of inoculant gives satisfactory results. Umbreit points out that root-nodules bacteria are not ‘‘at home” in the soil—they are "refugees” there during the pe riods between legume crops. They may find survival most difficult in acid soils, which makes inoculation almost essential under those condi tions. Even then the soil should be limed to assure successful stands of legumes. Coating of Soft Grease Prevents Rust Damage “Authorities agree that weath er often takes more out of farm machinery than use, and rust has a way of creep ing in even under good storage con ditions,” says W. C. Krueger of Rut gers university. Tests have shown that crank case and transmission oil will prevent rusting from 7 to 30 days outdoors, Krueger reports. Axle grease and pressure gun grease gave protection from 60 to 90 days; five samples of rust preventive compounds for 276 days and nine samples for 365 days or more. On the basis of these tests, the best type of rust preventive is the soft grease type which may be brushed on metal surfaces to give protection for 10 months to a year. High-Bred Eggs Sell For a Dollar a Piece Joseph H. Jones, a newspaper man, started a chicken farm near Springfield, 111., three years ago, and now he is getting $1 apiece—not a dozen—for his eggs. They are for breeding stock. He paid $60 for a rooster and two hens from Oregon. The rooster was the grandson of Orange Blossom, a hen which laid over 1,000 eggs dur ing her career, and one of the hens was granddaughter of a hen that laid 320 eggs in one year. Feed Cows on Record “In one herd of 72 milking cows, there was a saving of more than four tons of feed a month—or 117 pounds of grain a month per cow— when the entire herd was fed grain according to milk production,” Dr. George Taylor, Rutgers U. animal husbandry expert, reports. The to tal pounds of milk produced per month remained about the same and the total fat production was in creased slightly, compared with pre vious months. 8587 >0-20 Flower Applique.
