Cereal, eggs, pancakes, or
French toast might be the next
course. If you decide to serve eggs
you might fry bacon, ham, or
sausage first, starting in a cold
skillet. Wtien meat is done, put it
on a paper napkin or paper towel
to absorb the excess fat . Then
drain the rest of the fat in the
skillet into a cup or can. Leave
only a little to keep the eggs from
sticking.
Eggs are best when cooked
slbwly over low heat. Too much
heat or over-cooking makes them
dry and tough.
Scrambled eggs are creamiest
when you beat them in a bowl
first with one tablespoon of milk
per egg and a sprinkle of salt
and pepper. A little chopped or
dried parsley adds flavor and
They’ll take five to eight minutes,

a spoon or spatula as they cook.
Cinnamon -toast is easy to make.
Toast bread on one side in the
broiler. Butter other side, and
sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon
Return to broiler to brown for
only a few seconds.
Be sure the coffee is piping hot.
Medium-strength coffee requires
two tablespoons to the cup. In the
percolator, cook until coffee has
“perked" five to 10 minutes. If
you use a drip eoffeemaker, coffee
is done when ail the water has
dripped down to the bottom

Farm Fire Loss
1145 Million
During 1956
Fire cost the nation’s farmers'
an estimated $145 million in 1956
somewhat under the all-time
high of the year before, but equal
ed by only two other years in
farm-fire annals, the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture reported
today.
Last year’s fire toll on farms
was the same as for 1951 and 1952
making it a three-way tie for the
second highest loss year on rec
ord. Almost a billion-and-a-half
dollars worth of farm property
has gone up in flames the past
10 years, according to economists
in USDA’s Agricultural Research
Service who make estimates of
farm-fire loss.
But this dollar figure repre
sents only a portion of the total
economic loss. It does not include
loss of potential income due to
deaths and injuries caused by fire
nor does it include such losses as
medical expenses or production,
delays. Farm fires each year take
the lives of some 3,500 rural resi
dents and injure another 300,000
IJSDA reports.
Farm-fire loss during the past
decade reached its peak in 1955,
when it rose to $l4B million. The
lowest loss figure during the
period was $125 million in 1947.
As late as 1940, annual fire loss
was as low as $64 million. -
The figures represent fire and
lightning losses on buildings, im
plements and machinery, live-

3New Bulletin to Food Industry
Describes Action of Civil Defense
The Department of Agriculture
announced today that it is dis
tributing to the food industry
practical suggestions for assuring
continued operation of commer
cial food facilities in the event
of enemy attack.
The Department’s suggestion’s
set forth in “Defense Guides ton
Commercial Food Facilities,”
(Agriculture Information Bulle
tin No. 169) covers such points as
the microfilming and safe storage
of special processes and patents,
plant dispersal, recruitment of
workers, fire protection, mainte
nance of communications, and
protection against sabotage.
In commenting upon the new
publication Department officials
pointed out that under any condi
tions this country might face, con
tinued food production is a
“must.” The commercial food in
dustry realizes this. Many firms
already have taken steps to insure
continuity of production under at
tack conditions, and to them the
guidebook will be a convenient
check list. The publication, how
ever, will be of most value to the
stock, crops, and household goods,
Fires on farms are due to seven
principal causes most of them
preventable. They are: faulty
flues and heaters, combustible
roofs, spontaneous combustion,
matches and smoking, defective
electrical wiring, gasoline and
kerosene, and lightning.
