sis on ketosis. Diabetic hu
mans also are subject to ke
tosis.
3. “Reproductive Wastage,
Basic Research” with a dis
cussion of work underway
designed to explain why a
certain proportion of a fe
male animal’s fertilized eggs
die.
4. “Dwarfism in Cattle.”
Two cattle suffering from
the disease known as dwarf
ism will be displayed by Dr.
J. Ellis Croshaw, as he de
scribes current studies in
this problem. It is hoped,
Dr. Croshaw says, that a
test can be developed which
will identify cows and bulls
carrj-ing the recessive genes
which produce dwarf offs
pring. Dwarfism is similar to
the human disease known as
gargoylism.
A cover crop in the gard
en will add to the soil hu
mus and help control weeds
next year.

Sweet Peppers
Can Be Frozen
Green peppers, long popul
ar for stuffing and baking or
for adding a dash of bright
green to cottage cheese, sal
ads, relishes and chicken a
la king, have more to offer
than attractive color and
mild but distinctive flavor.
They rate high for vitamin
A and C, unusually high in
vitamin C. So even small
quantities of this vegetable
can contribute to your daily
vitamin C quota.
If you have green peppers
in your garden that will soon
be caught by frost or if you
find these peppers a buy at
local markets this month,
you may want to put some
down in your freezer. They
are one of the easiest vege
tables to freeze because they
don’t have to be heated in
boiling water or steam be
fore packing for the freezer.
The 'U. S. Department of
Agriculture’s home freezing
directions explain that pep
pers frozen without heating
are best for use in uncooked
foods. Heated peppers are
easier to pack closely, and
good for use in cooking.
For freezing select firm,
crisp, thick-walled peppers
Wash and cut out stems, cut
in half and remove seeds. If

desired, cut into half inch
strips or rings. Or you might
even dice them—all ready lo
be used in dishes calling for
chopped peppers,
You can s'mply pack the
halves or slices of pepper in
to freezer containers, leave
no headspace in the contain
er and freeze immediately.
Or, if you plan to use the
peppers in cooked dishes,
heat halves in boiling water
3 minutes, slices 2 minutes.
Cool promptly in cold wa
ter and drain. Pack in freez
er containers leaving V 2 inch
headspace for expansion dur
ing freezing. Seal container
and freeze at once.
These directions can be
used also for freezing hot
garden peppers.
Rats and mice migrate to
buildings during the first
cold period in the fall. Trash
cleanup and baiting will
lessen the problem all win
ter.
