Springtime Egg Festival Kits
Have Message For Homemakers
Springtime is an ideal time to
pay homage to the common, or
dinary egg. This is the message
for homemakers contained in
special Springtime Egg Festival
Kits sent to food editors of the
nation's top 512 newspapers.
Food editors are told the rea
son for holding Springtime Egg
Festival from May 1 to June 15
in a letter from Patricia Myles.
Director of Home Economics of
the Poultry and Egg National
Board. In the fine spring air
hens don’t mind working over
time, so eggs are abundant and
prices are unusually attractive
to the consumer.
The kits contain a mouth-wa
tering recipe for a special
springtime egg dish and accom
panying photograph, exclusive
to each newspaper in its circula
tion area, and Springtime Egg

eggs weigh a pound and a half.

PLANTING SHRUBS
We often get the question
from folks who are planting
shrubs or trees relating to when
they should apply fertilizer to
this new plant The first year
the amount of fertilizer is not
nearly as important as the
mulching around the plant and
keeping the roots soaked every
week to 10 days; it is not ex
pected that we would get much
growth the first year from most
trees or shrubs because of the
shock through transplanting,
the important thing to do is to
keep the tree living by provid
ing sufficient moisture.

Tips on Buying Head Lettuce

tant thing to check for when
you buy le.tuce
Look for a crisp green head,
one that’s free from spots or
bruises
A good head is compact, solid,
and heavy for its size
Generally, if a head of lettuce
feels light you lift it, and
leaves look rather loose, you
aren’t getting much for youi
money
Remember it’s not necessary
to press or squeeze a head of
lettuce.
You can tell a lot simply by
looking over the display of let-

Spring Fashions
Feature Femininity
This spring it’s smart to be
feminine again with the em

You’ll see frilly jabots, man
tailored ascots of white pique
bibs frothy with flounces of lace
ruffled white organdy, and die
keys with white nylon ruffles
To keep these neckwear sep
arates snowy-white and spotles'
is a necessity for a well-groom

Most of these neckwear pieces
are easy to wash and will drip
dry overnight It’s a good idea
