Today the cheese fac tory operators and cheese dealers are not as much interested in be ing able to store cheese for a long period of time as they are in has tening the ripening, thereby de creasing the span of time between the production of the milk and the ultimate consumption of the cheese. This is especially true here in the South, as the high cost of cold storage causes the dealer to short en the ripening period. Any mod ification of the manufacturing and curing methods which would pro duce a higher quality short cure cheese would therefore be highly desirable. This investigation was conducted by the Texas Agricultural Experi ment Station in cooperation with the Department of Dairy Husban dry. A preliminary investigation was conducted in 1936 and 1937 to obtain information concerning the effect of variations in the manu facturing and ripening methods upon the quality of short cure cheese. In a series of several paired lots of cheese, the effect of the amount of rennet, amount of salt, method of manufacture, ripening temperature and various curd treatments were studied. After the preliminary investigation was completed, a more compre hensive study was made of the factors that proved most impor tant in producing the highest qual ity cheese. The use of a large amount of rennet in the cheese making pro cess and the washing of the curd proved most effective in produc ing a cheese with a superior body. The temperature at which the cheese was ripened was of ultimate importance in influencing the rate of flavor development and the score of the cheese. The amount of rennet used was an important factor in the production of a short cure cheese as additional amount- of rennet extract, up to as much as eight ounces per one thousand pounds of milk, produced more rapid ripening and increased the score value of the cheese at ripen ing temperatures as high as 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Cheese manu factured by the stirred curd meth od ripened more rapidly than did the cheese manufactured by the regular Cheddar method. The stir red curd method may have some value in the manufacture of a rapid cure cheese, but cheese made by this method did not reach as high a maximum score as did cheese made by the cheddar meth od. There was no advantage ob tained by developing a higher acidity during the manufacturing process; however, washing the curd improved the quality of the cheese and increased the rate of ripening. The ripening temperature was increased to a maximum of 70 de grees F. with desirable results. The rate of flavor development was greatly increased by raising the ripening temperature; how ever, a prolonged ripening time was necessary to secure a high body score. The rate of ripening had a direct effect upon the "qual ity of the cheese. Ripening time was greatly decreased at higher temperatures, and in many cases, higher rates of ripening resulted in cheese of corresponding lower score value. When cheese was ripened for four, eight and sixteen week periods, the highest scoring cheese for each period was that ripened at 60 and 70 degrees F., plus an initial storage period at 46 degrees F. Cheese ripened at 80 degrees F. was inferior in most cases. In the production of a short cure cheese a ripening per iod at a higher temperature for flavor was desirable, and an ad ditional storage period was bene ficial to body development. The best cheese produced within a four weeks period was ripened for two weeks at 45 degrees F. and two weeks at 60 degrees F. The best cheese produced within an eight weeks period was ripened two weeks at 45 degrees F. and six weeks at 60 degrees F. The results of this investigation are significant in that they indi cate that a high score short cure cheese can be produced for market ing within a four weeks period by increasing the amount of rennet used, and by holding the cheese at a temperature of 60 to 70 de grees F. during a portion of the ripening period. Farm Implements Leave Ration List Feed grinders and crushers have* been removed from the ration list, the War Food Administration has notified the A. & M. Extension Service. Both hammer and burr mills now are unrationed, according to the order. The same announcement reveal ed that listers with planting at tachments and middlebusters now are under rationing control. Ra tioning of farm machinery now is administered by the Agricultural Adjustment Agency on state and county levels. Pressure cookers for food pre servation also have been removed from the ration list. FOR — BOOKS STATIONERY SCHOOL SUPPLIES GIFTS and NOVELTIES — Go to the — COLLEGE BOOK STORE North Gate As the World Turns By Charles G. Whitwell The trend of official Filipino thinking about postwar relations between their country and the United States was indicated by Sergio Osmena, Vice President of the Philippines in a speech made Sunday. The speech was made at c e r e m o n- ies commemorat ing the forty- seventh anniver- whitwell sary of the ex ecution of Jose Rizal, most fam ous of all Filipino heroes, by the Spanish. Osmena stated that the mainten ance of “adequate naval and air basis” in the Philippines after the war by the United States would “assure the mutual protection,” of the Islands and of the United States. “To the Philippine Islands such plans are vital to its liberty and growth. To the U. S. such plans mean that no enemy may approach your western shores.” The No. 2 Filipino leader in exile also expressed the need for post war culturial and political collab oration. As close allies the United States and the Philippine Islands could go a long way toward build ing up a new world of peace, jus tice, democracy, and freedom. Such sentiments indicate a de cided change in Filipino sentiment regarding their relations with the Unitd States. In their demands for independence they insisted on complete severance of all political ties with us. That was to have been their status after July 4, 1946. They were also willing, for a while, to give up all economic privileges their connections with us had giv en them. The gradual removal of all such privileges were provided for in the Hawes-Cutting act of 1934. Even the abandonment of our army post, including air fields, was desired and planned for. Such abandonment of our army post, including air fields, was desired and planned for. Such abandon ment was under way by our forces as late as 1940. Only the naval station at Cavite and dry-dock at Olongapo were to be retained. Their final disposition was to be determined by later negotiations. Actually the fate of our naval establishments in the Philippine Islands was sealed by the naval treaty of the Washington confer ence in which we agreed not to fur ther fortify these bases. Assuming that the Philippine Republic will want the United States to establish, fortify, and maintain naval and air bases in the Philippines after the war, what will be the attitude of the govern ment and people of this country? Has this war taught us that we should never have become mixed up in Asiatic affairs by accepting responsibilities there? Or has it taught us that we have responsi bilities there the we must accept and take proper steps to meet ? Or will our reactions to Filipino overtures as made by Mr. Osmena be guided, in the future as they have in the past, by the narrower view of our own interests? We took these Islands originally, not out of ai sense of duty to a help less people fate had left on our doorstep, but as a key to greater commercial advantages in the Far East. We gave them their inde pendence in 1935, not so much to keep a promise we had made them, as to appease powerful economic interests of this country. A lot will depend on what group is in power in this country when the time comes to answer these ques tions.

Showing at the Campus on Tuesday and Wednesday is “Paris After Dark.” The film stars George Sanders, Brenda Marshall, and Philip Dorn. The plot is built around the characters in the French underground situated in Paris. Sanders portrays the part of a doc tor who is the connecting link of the organization with the outer world. Brenda Marshall is of course working in the system and is also interested in Sanders for personal reasons. Dorn is suspected as a traitor, but in the end he proves his loyalty. The Lowdown: A pretty good show involving the same well-used plot of underground systems. ( ‘am/jus 4-1181 OPENS 1:00 P. M.
