24—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 23, 1972 |(3 Ladies, 1 iji By Doris Thomas, ii Extension Home Economist October Plentifuls Seasonal bounty of many foods is the outlook for October. Feature attraction on the mon th’s plentiful foods list will be fresh apples, which will be in peak supply in time for the an nual observance of National Apple Week, October 26- November 4. Other plentifuls listed for October are canned applesauce and apple juice, rice, dry beans, wheat products, broiler-fryers, turkeys, and eggs. Food shoppers should bear in mind that when foods are in abundant supply, they are often attractively priced, good reasons to check on new recipes and plan ahead for thir use in the month’s menus. Make good use particularly of apples and apple products. This year’s apple harvest will come to about 150 million bushels, about the same as for the past four years. All favorite varieties of this delicous fruit will be abun dant, so be sure to buy those best suited for your intended purpose. This year’s estimated 8.6- billion pound rice production is the greatest in three years and you should find prices attractive. Rice with a main dish, or as an ingredient, rightly belongs on the menu these days. For hearty, nourshing fall dishes, by all means choose dry beans, whether for soups, casseroles, or as a side dish. This year’s estimated 1.8-billion pound prouduction speels plenty of dry beans of all varieties. A record-breaking wheat crop will provide ample grain and also the products made from grain bread, spaghetti, noodles or other wheat products. Despite possible increases in grain products’ costs due to heavy export sales, these items remain excellent buys in relation to most other foods. Poultry will continue a good choice as production of broiler fryers in October is expected to be 3 percent above a year ago. Prices, however, will probably edge above the very low prices of last year. According to current indications some 14 percent more turkeys will be marketed this October than in October, 1971, while at the same time storage holdings are also likely to be greater than a year ago. As a result, good buys on the big birds should be available. Although there may be somewhat fewer eggs than the high level of a year ago, they’ll continue to be an economical source of high protein food. Check Fabric Needs How much do you know about fabrics for your home? If you’re planning on having something reupholstered or perhaps doing it yourself, what kind of fabric will you buy? Most people really don’t know either what they want—or what they expect from the fabric they buy. Upholstered items, or even just the fabric for them are costly, so most of us must live with our choices for a long time. Six commonly found textile upholstery fabrics with a stain and soil resistant finish were selected for a study conducted with several northeastern universities cooperating with the Experiment Station and the United States Department of Agriculture. The fabrics ranged Have You Heard ? in price from $5.50 a yard to $11.75 a yard. Color ranked first in type of damage to all the fabrics. All of the fabrics tested lost strength with exposure to light. It appears that upholstery fabrics don’t always meet the needs of the consumer. The study pointed up the need for you to consider the com bination that meets your requirments as far as color, texture, fiber content, type of weaves, type of backing and finishes.

You may have to constantly remind youngsters to wash neck, throat and ears, because they have a tendency not to see the necessity of doing more than the “once over lightly.” Today’s hair styles, for both boys and girls, with the long hair and bangs, over the forehead, can cause oily deposits on the face and neck if not cleaned properly, points out Mrs. Wilson.
