Mary Dean Holle reports at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Outlook Conference that homemakers save time using mixes versus from-scratch baking. A Minnesota pilot found cake time cut by one third, cookies by half, biscuits and pie crust by a quarter, with mixes costing more than individual ingredients. Urban bakers favor mixes for cakes, while farm kitchens show lower mix use. The bulletin notes 1955 shifts toward convenience foods and warns about nutrition versus service costs. It also covers sewing tool care and a cheese leaflet from USDA, plus 4-H club meeting notes and activities in March and April.
