A late Department of Agriculture survey shows beef cattle and swine on U.S. farms near an all time high. Beef cattle are estimated at 65,400,000 by January 1, 1952, about 5.8 million more than a year earlier and 7.6 million above the wartime 1945 peak. Dairy cattle are noted as a source of calf meat and processed meats.
The chart shows beef production climbing with cattle herd projections from 80 million in 1950 to about 90–91 million, while the 1951 pig crop is seen at 106 million, up 5 percent from 1950. Pork output is expected 5 to 10 percent higher this year, with chickens also at record levels.
The Bureau of Agricultural Economics argues that America's future farming hinges on expanding family farm sizes to exploit mechanization. Large farms near full capacity with up to date technology show limited efficiency gains, while a wartime shift to bigger family farms enabled mechanization gains. The outlook questions continued efficiency beyond full mechanization and notes hired labor as a key constraint.
An idea for gardeners lacking tool storage. Bore slanted holes in a 1 by 4 board, fit old clothes pins, trim protruding ends, and mount the board on a wall to hang tools. Simple, convenient, and practical.
Mrs. Phil Patterson of Colorado proposes dyeing garden mulch to match flower plots. A 10 cent package of vegetable dye mixed with water can color a large amount of mulch. Mulches have long been advised for home gardens and now their beauty can be enhanced.
One World reveres Johnny Mize the Demorest Destroyer as a near-immortal slugger. The piece traces his career from a 17-year-old debut in Greensboro to 1948 two seasons with 51 and 40 homers, his Navy years, and a late-career surge with Cardinals Giants and Kansas City. It places him among the era’s elite alongside Cobb Ruth Hornsby Jackson and Kiner while noting the rising stars of 1951 and boxing’s modern heavyweight mix. The essay also reflects on race and humanity, contrasting prejudiced tags with Christian unity across diverse peoples.
A featured picnic menu offers skillet fried chicken with cornbread dressing and crisp vegetables. The plan uses young chickens, a light coating, and dressing baked in the same skillet, wrapped in newspaper for transport. Also included are corn bread, gravy, lemonade, cookies, and Coconut Gumdrop Bars.
A hometown menu highlights skillet baked chicken, sliced garden tomatoes, carrot strips, celery fans, radish roses, lemonade, and chilled watermelon. Coconut gumdrop cookies finish the spread, offering a sweet end to a summer picnic.
A food column suggests flavoring soft custard with instant coffee and serving it on chocolate or cottage pudding. It notes spinach can be improved with salt pepper and nutmeg, and describes a casserole nest baked with raw eggs, seasoned with salt pepper and shredded cheese until set.
A historic kitchen note describes a fine topping of baking powder biscuit for leftover meat pie with sage. It suggests thin ginger snap cookies with cream cheese and crystallized ginger as a snack option. It also details slicing cold boiled sweet potatoes, dipping in egg, coating with fine crumbs, and frying until deep golden brown to serve with ham or chicken.
