Family Favorites
Tuesday, June 22, 1954
-^r-s—*
By Mrs. William B. Martin
(Ed. Note—With today’s issue we begin a variation in our
Family Favorites column; throughout the summer we plan to
feature foods typical of foreign countries. To begin this series,
we have as guest editor Mrs. Helen Martin, wife of Dr. William
B. Martin, assistant professor of English at A&M. A native of
Scotland, Mrs. Martin was born in Perth and grew up in Mussel
burgh and Prestonpans, two towns near Edinburgh. While attend
ing the University of Edinburgh, she met her husband, who was
then doing graduate work there. Her tirst home in this country
was Stephenviile, Texas, where Mr. Martin taught at Tarleton
State College. After returning to Scotland for a year, they came
to College Station in 1952 and have been here since then. Mrs.
Martin says that she thoroughly enjoys life in America.)
SHORTBREAD
. This recipe was given to me by my mother:
2 cups flpur ^4 cup sugar
5 tablespoons butter
Cream together the butter and sugar. Add flour, working with
the hands to a smooth paste. Form in a flat cake about to 1
inch thick. (If it cracks when rolled, it must be worked more.)
Pinch the edges of the cake between thumb and forefinger. Prick
well. It is a good idea to slice the cake almost through before baking,
as this makes it easier to break when done.
Bake until a pale, golden brown (30-45 minutes) at 350 degrees.
Do not remove shortbread from cookie sheet until it is crisp and
cold.
BRANDY SNAPS OR JUMBLES
This makes a good snack. It is especially good with tea or coffee.
2 heaped tablespoons flour
4 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons molasses
Warm butter in a saucepan; then take the pan off the fire and
stir in flour, molasses and sugar.
Butter well a cookie sheet; put the mixture on in small spoonfuls,
leaving plenty of room for spreading. Bake at 400 degrees for about
10 minutes.
Remove from sheet with a knife and curl the snaps on a small
rolling pin or a suler.
If desired, they may be filled with whipped cream. They must be
rolled, more tightly for this.
SCOTCH EGGS
t
Scotch eggs are good either cold with a salad or hot with gravy.
1 good tablespoon tomato
ketchup
1 cup ground veal, ham or
beef
Parsley
1 tablespoon flour
Salt and pepper
% cup breadcrumbs
Pinch of mixed herbs
4 shelled hard-boiled eggs
Mix meat and breadcrumbs. Add herbs and parsley; season well
with salt and pepper; moisten with ketchup.
Dip the eggs in flour and coat with the meat mixture. Roll ill
flour again and fry in boiling fat until a golden brown. Drain well.
Serves 4.
If eaten cold, the eggs look more attractive cut in half.
CORNISH PASTY
This is a good dish around which to center a meal.
1 recipe of pastry
1 large potato
Salt and pepper
% lb. lean steak
1 onion
1 beaten egg
Peel and slice the potato. Shred the onion. Beat the steak well
and out it into small pieces.
Grease a shallow pie pan; line with pastry. Put in the pan a
layer of potato slices, then a layer of meat and a sprinkling of onion.
Repeat until all are used, seasoning well with salt and pepper.
Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg and cover with
pastry, pinching the edges together.
Prick well and bake at 425 degrees for about 40 minutes. Serves
4-6.

Benson Orders Cut
I In Wheat Planting
WASHINGTON —09?)—Secretary
of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson
Monday ordered a further cutback
of 13 per cent in wheat planting
for the 1955 crop and called a
grower referendum for July 23 to
approve rigid marketing quotas to
enforce planting goals.
Benson also announced perhaps
the strictest controls in the history
of American farming to prevent
the production of new crop sur
pluses. The government now has
about $6,$09,990,000 invested in
far*h surpluses, mainly wheat, cot
ton, eotn, an<£ dairy products.
lTh£ wheat reduction comes on
top of a 17 per cent decrease in
this year’s wheat acreage. With
the harvest of this year’s crop, the
nation will have a two-year supply
of this grain.
Under this program, farmers
will be required to comply with
federal planting allotments for all
crops for which allotments are
made in order to be eligible for
price support aid on any crop.
Allotments are now planned for
wheat> cotton,' major types of to-
bacep, peanuts and sugar crops.
In addition, farmers whose allot
ments call for a total reductipn of
more than ten acres in the allot
ment crops will have to comply
with a “tptal acreage allptment”
for their farms in order to get
price supports.
The total acreage allotment will
include all crop acreage allotments
established for the farm and the
1953 acreages (or adjusted acre
ages) of all other crops on the
farm except hay, cover crops,
green manure crops, pasture, idle
crop land and summer fallow.
Agreeing that these controls are
perhaps the strictest in history,
Benson told a news conference he
“greatly regrets” the necessity of
imposing them.
“The Ipng-rahge interest of ag
riculture and the national economy
will best be served when we can
have less—and not more—govern
ment regulation and control.
“Under present surplus condi
tions, however, we have no im
mediate choice,” he said.
Benson said it will be necessaiy
to use crop controls until supplies
can be brought more nearly into
market needs. He said flexible
farm price supports advocated by
the Eisenhower Administration to
supplant present high rigid pi-ice
floors would hasten the day of ad
justment.

Bill and I Saved $8,000
on the Payroll Savings Plan-
/3A/D you CAM 700/
Why you, too, can save successfully—
on the Payroll Savings Plan
short years. You set the figure. Then stay on voui
plan and the rest will take care of itself. §
Do you find it next to impossible to put away
a penny? Well, so did the Nysse’s of Bristol,
Pennsylvania—until they discovered Uncle
Sam’s guaranteed-to-work Payroll Savings
Plan. Bill and Rose Nysse have no more than
the average American family income—but
this wise couple saved $8,000 out of what
they earned!
No matter how many of your saving schemes
have failed before, Payroll Savings will succeed
for you! This is why: .
All you have to do is go to your company’s pay
office and sign the Plan application. You set the
amount you want to save each payday—as little
as a couple of dollars or as much as you wish.
That amount is automatically saved out for you
each time before you draw your check or envelope.
When enough has accumulated, it is invested in
a U. S. Series E Savings Bond, bearing your name,
and the Bond is turned over to you.
That’s all there is to it—except to watch those
Bonds pile up and remind yourself that every one
you hold to maturity earns you an average 3%
interest a year.
There’s only one time to start —now
Right now 8,000,000 other working people are
on the Payroll Savings road to peace of mind and
financial freedom. It’s the road for you, too. 'To
day—join the Payroll Savings Plan where you
work. Or, if you’re self-employed join the Bond-
A-Month Plan where you bank. It can be the
smartest step you ever took!
