Some map Ever wonder what the state bird of Mississippi is? Have you ever needed a quick reference as to when New York was admitted into the union ? If so, the answers lie on this quilt made by Edith Nixon. In eluded on the covering are the birds and flowers of the 50 United States. Mrs. Nixon, who lives at Rt. I, Aberdeen , spent 800 hours working on the quilt. Long-lasting wear is essential You don't need to be a financial expert to know that the cost of new clothing is high. And because new clothes are expensive, it is impor tant to get the most wear possible from old favorites. Consider the following tips to keep garments fresh looking. When stains occur, it is important to treat the problem A* a general rule, soak protein-based stains in cold water. These include blood, urine, egg, milk, mayon naise, gravy, meat juice, baby for On the Front Burner] Alice Pettitt Home Economics i Agent I mula, cream and ice cream. ChocoTSftrTfuit.^frle and soft drinks also get treated with coIcT water. It's not safe to assume that no spot will occur if the untreated area looks okay after it dries. If you don't treat, a yellowed spot may occur with age or heat. Check all garments for spots as you sort items for laundering. Treat any visible spots with one of the prewash products designed for stainjemoval. This may save a lot of the frustration and expense th^t comes with a set stain.

WARREN LUBRICANTS | Mm To m Transmission Ruidl UmttSqtsJ Harvests should be at peak The harvesting of quality vegetables will be the big pay-off for many home gardeners during June and July. In order to capture peak freshness and flavor, vegetables must be harvested at the proper stage of maturity. The maturity indicators for some of the most commonly grown vegetables are as follows: Beans, Snap - Start harvesting before seeds develop in the pod. Beans are ready to pick if they snap readily when bent in half. Beans, Lima - Harvest when pods first start to bulge with the enlarged seed. Pods must still be green and not have turned yellowish. Broccoli ? Harvest the dark green, compact cluster or head while the buds are shut tight, before any yellow flowers appear. Smaller side shoots will develop for a continuous harvest. Cabbage - Harvest as heads feel hard and solid. Cauliflower ? Harvest curds (heads) when they are 4-6 in ches in diameter but still com pact, white and smooth; ex clude sunlight (blanch) when curds are 1-2 inches in diameter by loosely tying together the older leaves above the curd with a string or rub ber band. Head should be ready 10- 15 days after tying. Cora, sweet - Silks begin to brown and dry out as the ears mature. Check a few ears for maturity by opening the top of the ear and pressing a few ker nals with thumbnail. (All ears checked with the thumbnail should be harvested anyway since sap beetles will be at tracted to the exposed kernels and destroy it). If milky juice . exudes, it is ready for harvesting. Cucumbers - Harvest when cu cumbers are deep green. Length of fruit should be 2-3 inches for sweet pickles, 5-6 Jn&JS for diUi?juKi.fir?jQ?bes for slicing.
