Hints For Homemakers By Jane Rogers ARTICHOKES deserve a more frequent appearance on our menus. They are easy to prepare and add a note of real distinction to the meal. Soak in cold, salted water for five minutes. Drain, place compactly in pot and cook slowly in boiling, salted water until tender. Serve as vegetable or salad with mayonnaise dressing. Keeping comfortably warm when the mercury persistently hovers in the lower half of the thermometer is a matter of diet as well as of proper clothing and close attention to the furnace. The carbohydrates, particularly sugar, are nature's great fuel foods, providing the body with internal warmth. ■ HON. TAM BOWIE Candidate for Democratic Nomina tion for United States Senator. MONEY IN WHEAT IF PROPERLY HANDLED I Careful attention to preparation | and fertilization of land, purity of j seed, and planting dates results in | large acre yields of good quality j grain and means more money to the growers. "Only good land should be sown to wheat, however', and this should be well prepared and fertilized," says E. C. Blair, extension agrono mist at State College. "A fine shal low bed is best, and the land should not be plowed deep for two months before the time for sowing the seed." The fertilizer requirements for wheat are very similar to those of corn and Mr. Blair recommends the application of 200 to 400 pounds of | superphosphate and muriate of pot I ash in the fall. This should be fol ! lowed by 75 to 100 pounds of nitrate j of soda or sulphate of ammonia about j March first. Mr. Bulair states that only seed I known to be high in purity and ger ! mination and with no noxious weed i seeds should be used. The use of the best seed will increase the yield and make for less work in harvesting and and threshing. From five to six pecks j of seed should be planted to the ac re, he says. According to Mr. Blair, there is only one disease that causes consid erable loss to wheat growers. That is covered or stinking smut and this may be controlled by cleaning and treating with copper carbonate. Two ounces of this chemical, costing less than five cents, will treat a bushel of seed. It can be applied at any time before planting without damage to the wheat, he says. "DEPRESSION VILLAGES" ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI Washington, Aug. 31.— "Depres sion Villages" bearing the ironic names of "Happyland," "Merry land," "Hooverville," and "Hoover Heights" on the banks of the Missis sippi River within the city limits of St. Louis are described in a recent is sue of the St. Louis Star. The shacks in "Hooverville" are referred to as "cigar boxes." The re i porter found sixty-five of these fac ing on the river, some neat and or derly and others made of junk and debris. The Star reporter describes an incident which evolves a new de pression phrase coined in "Hoover ville." One inhabitant picked up a bundle of newspapers in front;-, of a shack, when the occupant of the shack called out: "Here, where/are you going with my blankets?" He ex plained to the reporter: "Down in these parts, we call newspapers I 'Hoover blankets.' " * Sheep eat foods otherwise wasted on the farm, make good use of stub ble and rocky pasture, kill weeds, and leave fertility on high spots where it is most needed. More than 17,500 owners of near ly 2,000,000 head of breeding ani mals have reported to the Depare ment of agriculture that on their farms they use purebred sires only.
