effort to improve'the services of
the Department of Agriculture
so thSt all farm people may prof

CHEESES NEED
SIMILAR CARE
Edam, Blue, Cheddar, or any
other kind of cheese needs the
same care in storage and use,
states Marjorie J. Wormeck, ex
tension nutntiomst-of the Penn
sylvania State University-
A heavy wax paper or foil is
excellent for cheese
in storage. If you have neither, a
covered dish will do. Cheese
tastes and keeps better when
stored an a refrigerator.
Cook all kinds of cheese at low
temperatures because, like any
protein foods, they toughen with
high heat If posible, melt them
in a double boiler or chafing dish
instead of over direct heat.
