DAYLILLIES - CARE AND
INGESTING THEREOF
We all know the fantastic
contrigution Hemerocallis makes to
the landscape. Plants in every shade
but blue and white will bloom from
mid-spring to fall, according to
varieties, in heights of 15 inches to
four feet.
While minimal care is needed,
daylillies thrive when planted in full
sun in beds provided with ample
humus, fertilized in spring and
mulched in summer.
Mow or trim old foliage off now.
Divide crowded plants every four or
five years. Use two spading forks
back to back and pry tubers apart.
Replant divisions with one or more
"fans' of leaves showing.
Ah, but the kitchen, my fellow
gourmets, the kitchen ? that's where
lilies light up your life! These natives
of the orient are fully appreciated by,
well, natives of the orient, who have
the ability to find a use for
everything.
Here are some of the ways they
may be prepared.
In early spring outer leaves are cut
after reaching a height of three to
five inches. Stir fried, the taste is
rather like steamed onions. Organic
Gardening editors caution that too
many leaves will provide a
hallucinary effect ? a real cheap
high, what? Consequently Chinese
doctors used them for pain relievers.
Lily buds and flowers are delicious
used in soups and vegetable dishes.
Tightly closed buds add crunch to a
salad, become pickles, get stir-fried
with pork, onion and soy sauce, or
share, being steamed with snow
peas. Put some in your next omelet.
Half or fully-opened day lily
blossoms can be dipped in tempura
batter and fried in a wok. Chinese dry
the young buds and flowers, calling
them "golden needles." These are
soaked about IS minutes before
using.

Tough ends of stems are removed,
the remainder shredded, a tender
and fragrant contribution to din-din.
In late fall or winter munch a
bunch of tubers, after you've
scrubbed and peeled them.
Nutty tasting tubers can be eaten
raw, boiled, creamed, mashed like
potatoes, made into patties for
browning in oil.
Obviously I'm trying to garner all
the information I can for you.
Actually, I've looked in several
oriental cookbooks and there are not
a lot of formal recipes for lilies.
Oriental cooks seem to prefer
aquatic plants over-all.
Most of the world is cov
ered by water. Only about
30 percent of the earth's
total surface is dry land.
Predicting future
?L
for farming families ;
There is every reason to believe
that the family (arm will continue to
be the dominant force in American
agriculture.
According to figures released by
the American Farm Bureau
Federation, about 90 percent of all
farms and ranches in this country
are family owned and operated ? as
they were 50 years ago. Further,
about 80 percent of all corporate
farms are also family owned and
operated, having been incorporated
for tax and other legal purposes.
Statistics which show that the food
and fiber needs of our nation are
being produced by a declining
number of farms, most of which are
increasing in average size, are used
by those who argue that "family
farmers are being forced from the
land."
Such fears are unfounded. Farm
size is growing larger. Each farmer
is indeed able to produce more today
due to modern
technology, mechanization and the
high per unit productivity of our
nation'! farmers and rancher*.
Ironically, moat questions about ?
the make-up of today's agriculture
come from church and other social
action groups and from those with !
political axes to grind.
"Social change" often is the object
of these outside planners or
consumer groups, involving various ' ,
schemes for "land reform" and
cheap food policies. They rally under
such banners as "food for people, not
for profit."
Without the incentive of the profit .
motive, there will be food scarcity
rather than the plenty we now enjcy. - ?
For an example, we need look no
further than the continued farm 1*
production shortfalls in the Soviet 1
Union.
Family farming has changed over ? .
the years, just as is true of any other
enterprise. But, the future for family
farming remains great if it can be
saved from the politically and
socially motivated "family farm
savers."
