Freezing and cooking losses in frozen vegetables explained
Home economists warn overcooling is a common error in preparing frozen foods for table use. Vitamin losses occur mainly during blanching and cooking, with B and C vitamins passing into cooking water as water amount increases. End results depend on minimal water and proper handling from seed to serving.
Sheep Suffer Vitamin Loss in Selenium Areas
Research workers report sheep grazing in seleniferous areas may die from vitamin deficiencies. Selenium in soil disrupts vitamin A and C levels. even with carotene feeding, blood vitamin A declines as selenium dose rises. Vitamin C production also drops, tied to selenium intake and liver injury affecting carotene use.
Future Building Trends Shift Toward Open Plan Homes
The article outlines a move to open living spaces with multi use rooms, basementless construction for safety and more above grade space, larger solar design windows, plain glass in place of colonial panes, bigger garages with heat and extra space, and gradual introduction of new materials once proven satisfactory.
Toasters Turn Tough Bread Into Tasty Toasts
Home economists propose several uses for bread too hard for the table. Melba toast dries thin slices in a slow oven for a crisp flavor. Cinnamon toast adds butter with cinnamon and sugar. French toast bakes into a main dish with egg and milk. Cheese toast features sharp cheese between unbuttered slices browned slowly.
Radar Aids Weather Forecasting
Radar enhances forecasting by showing storms beyond 100 miles and revealing their nature. Early use showed weather variations extend pickup range or confuse operators, requiring study of radar relations to conditions. Wartime operation spurred new weather analysis and forecasting methods with strong peacetime potential.

Tiny Nematodes Threat To Many Plant Species
G Steiner notes nematodes are tiny underground pests that attack plant roots and can cause crop failures. The root knot nematode endures across 1700 plant species, complicating crop rotation. Steam sterilization or sterilizing chemicals can kill most nematodes in greenhouses or high value crops.

Wheat Germ as a Low-Cost High-Quality Protein Source
Wheat germ leads in plant proteins tested for affordable diets, with corn germ ranking second but inferior to egg and milk protein at high dietary levels. Despite potential annual production reaching 150 million pounds for wheat germ and 600 million for dry corn germ, current supply mainly feeds animals. If adapted for human use, cereal-germ proteins could offer quality nutrition at lower cost.
