Mrs. Evangeline J. Smith of the Wyoming agricultural extension service outlines a January plan for conserving food and boosting family income. Tips include airtight storage for crackers, a meatless day omelet with cranberry filling, making a favorite sauce for dried cake, whipping mashed carrots with applesauce for a vegetable stretch, and choosing bread or potatoes to avoid both. The article notes rising food costs, calls for canning freezing and storage, and forecasts for 1948 including higher sugar meats and eggs prices, lower beef use, and steady dairy demand. It also mentions cattle grub control through spraying and dusting as cold weather limits spring conditions, per University of Wyoming research.
