Heilman who has his studio in
latitz R 3
However, a yeai or so ago,
Grant began to feed that he
could use assistance on the
technicalities of agncultme
se he hired Rod
Rod assists in setting up
technical subjects for photo
graphing and keeps a constant
eve out for subject vacancy in
the files
But the photo bug hit Rod
about Januaiy and since
then has been taking agncul
tuie pictures on a steady
schedule
Rod explains his job by
saving that he’s supposed to
know what they should have
on their files and then to
arrange to have them
Thd tiles consist of ovei 10,-
000 pictures of faim life and
equipment.
An example Rod quotes is
the “problem of ihe potash
deficiency”
Three weeks ago the shop
got a call fiom an agiicultursl
advertising firm in Philadel
phia asking if they had a pic
tme of an ear of coin snowing
a potash deficient
They did not Xovv it is
Rod's job to either find a
plot of coin with that prob
lem, oi to 01 eat the problem
with his own patch so that
they can get a picture of it
First he will contact neaiby
universities to see if they are
running any experiments of
that type if that fails he’ll
just have to wait till next
spring and “do it himselt”
His wife, Rae, who stocks
her larder with the produce
from the garden states that
he is the only gardener sne
knows who will, at times, go
out of h’s wa> to produce a
poor crop—and then try to
explain it away by saying it’s
all in the interest of science
Since Rod has joined th-*
Heilman staff the shop lui>

also been taking a lot mora
pictures oi insect life and of
rodents
This winter, when the snows
had them pietty much pinned
to home base, they set up
in the studio and took natuial
shots ot lats, mice and house
flys as well as several close
ups of chickens and chicken
types
All of these pictures will
appeal, sooner oi later, either
m advertisements for farm
equipment or supplies or
as part of tarm stones in na
tional fai m magazines
Both Rod and Giant also
take a lot ot tups during the
>eai —in tact, they like to
tiavel at least tlnee times a
>eai, foi thiee to four wee 1 :
stretches
All of the tups are to agn
cultuial aieas where the> till
in on photogiaphs unavailable
in the vicinity
At present Grant is in Colo
lado getting pictures of round
ups—and of giant combine
operations
On the trips the wufe and
family sometimes go along
• Rod states that it is sel
dom that they* vv ill take on a
specific asignnient for a com
pany exxplainmg that they
would want to keep the opei
ation as low pi essure as pos
sible
He explains that sometimes
it will take foui to tne houis
and peihaps twenty photos, to
get just what they want
“Nothing gives a man more
leisure than being on time for
appointments.”
They feel that wpiking for
au agency, with a dead lire,
<vould rob them of this free
dom—and would force th°m
to lake mediocre, rushed, fnc
tuies
Rod, who is a native of
Canada, graduated with a de
giee in animal husbandly

Giant dm mg a tour-yeai stay

Vegetable Cooking Tips
Two rules foi cooking veget
ables to keep the most nut
i lents aitj Cook vegetables as
quickly as possible, and cook
■them in the smallest possible
amount of boiling water.
Loss of nuti lents increases
with the length of time veg
etables are cooked Cook veg
etables only until tender, per
haps a little on the crisp side,
and they’ll save loss of food
v allies
Put the vegetable into boil-

mg water. A fairly larger
loss of Vitamin G occurs dur
ing the time it takes the water
to begin to boil.
Recommended ways for
cooking vegetables are: Press
in e cooking, steaming, or
cooking quickly in just enough
water to pi event scorching
m a tightly coveied utensil.
Vitamin C the B-vitamins
and some minerals are solu
able in water, especially hot
water. This means, il you
discaid the liquid when veg-
e f ables are cooked, you throw
awaj valuable nutrients. Bet
ter to use just enough water
to cook the vegetables so the
re’ll he little or no cooking
liquid left.
Never add baking soda to
keep vegetables green-soda
destroys vitamin C.
