AGRICULTURE Try using nature 's method of dehydration I A fancy new dehydrator isn't all that neceuary for drying foods, says Gardens for All Magazine. Long before modern methods came into use. folks in the mountains of North Carolina practiced the art of drying foods naturally. I remember seeing it occasionally when I lived in the Appalachian region of West Virginia. Food drying was a BEYOND THE WEEDS lfr% Jean W initio* 7 community thing, much like barn building, when food was shucked, peeled, chopped, washed and trashed amidst laughter, music, mingling, and some other stuff. You can follow the same routine today. Use the foods you grow in your garden for real economy. Apples should De peeled and cored, sliced into rings, strung onto heavy cords and placed in front of a fireplace or dried in the sun, covered with a piece of cheese cloth. Avoid rains or night dew. It usually takes three or four days in the sun to dry fruit sufficiently for winter storage, says Organic Gardening Encyclopedia. It is finished when it feels dry and leathery on the outside and slightly moist on the inside. Store in plastic bags or County tour County cattlemen and other interested people are invited to attend a local tour on Wednesday, August 29. The purpose of this tour is to see other producers doing some of the approved practices in their operations. If you plan to attend, contact the extension office (426 5428) by Friday August 24.

Sidney Long, Jr., has been named supervisor for the Nash County office of Farmers Home Administration in Nashville, where he had served as an assistant county supervisor since 1*70. Hie son of Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Long of Hertford, Long It a graduate of North Carolina State University with a bachelor of science degree in agronomy technology and a master's He is married to the former ton of Raleigh two children, They are tightly sealed jars. To use. boil applie rings in equal parts water and simmer until soft. They will be brownish instead of off-white like store bought ones because you dila't use sulphur. Judy Clark Bernard also suggests methods for drying corn and pumpkins. Take roasting ears, strip husks back and tie. After hanging in sun for several days, store in a dry place suspended by the husks. To prepare, soak in water for half an hour, strip kernels and boil until tender. Pumpkin dried in the same manner as apples can be eaten raw, rather like a confection. For pies and so forth, however, the pumpkin must be cooked to soften. The name "permission," according to Organic Gardening, comes from the Algonquin word "putchamin," meaning dried fruit. Persimmons can be dried whole, sliced, skinned or unskinned. Reconstitute by soaking in water with a small amount of lemon juice added. Persimmons are a great source of Vitamin A. Peppers should be washed, strung on a cord and placed in a dry place. Hot peppers are usually chopped and used dried, but both sweet and hot dried peppers may be soaked in water and chopped for use in sauces. Up North, sun-dried tomatoes sell up to 15 dollars a pound, and I'm not kidding. Mabye it's because the process takes three days of sunny clear weather, and we can't always count on that. Anyhow, use paste tomatoes they dry faster. Slice in half and lay cut-side-up on nylon screens outdoors. When the tomatoes are well-dried but still pliable, store then in glass jars with screw-top jars which will protect them from humidity. When you want to use the tomatoes, soak them in equal parts vinegar and boiling water. When they have softened, drain and cover with olive oil, adding a silver of garlic and some oregano. Marinate or at least twenty-four hours, or up to a month-delicious when added to pasta, or mixed into tomato sauces for Mexican cuisine. Here's my favorite: leather britches. If you know what they are, you were already ahead of me. That's the name for dried string beans. The young, tender pods are stung on a cord like a necklace and hung in a warm, dry place, such as an attic. When cooking time comes, soak the beans overnight, parboil about an hour until fairly tender, rinse, add clean water and seasonings. Cook until done. You and I may have missed the last Conestaga west, it's true, but if we experiment with this inventive and ancient method of food preparation we will be able to understand how our ancestors were able to tough it out. And survive-which at that time was the name of the game. Lbs. A 12 Inches In 4 Short Wnksi ->oyj Mrrno Biggs, , of Hertford, N.C.
