packaged meat. Bob Havener, Ohio State University Extension meat specialist, lists some rules to help you) be thrifty when buying meat: Know the seasons when beef, pork, veal or lamb are plentiful. Know which cuts fluctuate most in price. Watch for apecials that save money. Generally, prices for most beef cuts are low during the coldest winter months and pork prices are low at the end of the year and in the spring.
Lamb and mutton supplies are greatest in the fall and at that time theii prices drop, i As prices for the other three meats I start rising, veal prices are likely to start falling a little Prices for I veal vary considerably depend- i mg on the popularity of the cut. explains Havener. The tender, popular, priced cuts of meat vary the most) with the seasons. Buy steaks, chops i Join, rib and rump roasts during their seasonal pricn Iowa to save pennies. Such cuts as chuck roasts, pot roasts, stews, lamb shoulders and picnics and variety meats do not vary as much in price as the more tender cuts.
Exception to the price fluctuations of popular, higher-priced cuts are leg of lamb and smoked ham Prices for these cuts changed little in 1957. There was little or no difference in prices throughout the year for tongue liver, chopped beef and frankfurters, reports the specialist. Many markets feature specials on certain cuts of meat each week. Though seasonal supplies are important In determining prices sometimes markets sell a few cuts at wholesale prices, or even at a loss, in order to attract customers. You can aavc money by getting acquainted with the less popular and less expensive cuts of meat.
Only about one-third of the meat are well known. Cuts In greatest demand cost the most. 6 Steps Aid In Output 01 Farm PLANNING PROGRAM The Stone Creek, Vice i- The next meeting 11 be Junior Leaders, a county-wide 4-H dent Larry Hiller, HD 3.

Try frozen sandwiches, suggests Irene Netz. Ohio State University Extension nutritionist. Sandwiches can be prepared the night before, a week ahead or even several weeks in advance by using your freezer.
Many types of sandwiches can be frozen w-hole. depending on the filling used, or you may fillings alone. The home economist the fillings which freeze well: meat, poultry and cheese spreads ot all kinds, egg yolk mixtures, or peanut butter. Spread both slices generously with butter or margerine to avoid soggmess. Any of these fillings may be prepared and frozen separately for later use.
Fillings that will not freeze include fruit jellies, those containing hardcooked egg whites, or those with raw vegetables. Also, lettuce should never be frozen, but packed separately in the lunchbox to be into the sandwich just before eating. Take care in the mixing ingredient used. Miss Netz warns. Mayonnaise contains egg white protein and will not freeze, so it is important to commercial dressings labeled "salad 25 Boys Enroll In Tractor Clubs Twenty-five boys attended the organization meeting of the 4-H Tractor Club.
