Let’s Go Abroad

In foreign countries the most pleas
j ant time of the day and the most so
'cial is the dinner hour. We Ameri
cans should adopt the practice of
slow dining with a pleasant atmos
phere, and while we are adopting let’s
adopt some of their very wonderful
dishes that are not too difficult to
make.
From Mexico we have a one dish
meal —
1 lb. bulk sausage
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced pepper
2 cups tomatoes '•
2 cups shell macaroni
1 cup sour cream or buttermilk 1
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
Brown sausage, onion and pepper.
Pour off fat. Add tomatoes, maca- i
roni. buttermilk, sugar and remaining
ingredients. Simmer for 30 minutes.
This is mighty fine served up with
French bread and a tossed vegetable
salad.
Then from Bolivia comes a baked
com dish that could be used with any
meal—
-2 cups yellow kernel com
2 eggs
44 tsp. chili powder
1 tsn. flour
44 lb. cheese
Beat eggs and combine with com.
Heat fat and chili powder and flour.
Combine with corn and egg mixture.
Pour half in well greased casserole.
Cover with slices of cheese. Pour in
remainder and top with cheese. Bake
at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
And now a dessert from Merry Old
England which is simply wonderful
topped with cream or ice cream.
Blueberry Crisp Pudding
4 runs canned, fresh or frozen blue
berries
2 tsp, lemon juice
1 3 cup granulated sugar
| 4 tbsp. butter
1 3 cup brown sugar
1 3 cup flour (sifted)
i 41 cun rolled oats
Place blueberries in l l j quart bak
ing dish. Sprinkle with sugar and
lemon juice. Cream butter or mar
garine,. gradually add brown sugar.

topping over blueberries. Bake at 350
degrees for 35 minutes.
ANNUAL HAM AND EC.C, SHOW IS
PLANNED IN JOHNSTON COUNTY
Johnston County’s seventh annual
Ham and Egg Show and Sale will be
held March 14-16. From present in
dications it should be the biggest event
of its kind ever held—at least in
I North Carolina.
L. R. Johnson, Negro county agent
for the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, says Negro farmers and farm
wives have been busy for almost a
year making plans for this year’s
I event. The farm agent expects be
l tween 400 and 500 top quality hams
and around 150 dozen eggs to be en
jtered in the seventh annual event.

It is easy to grow the popular sal
ad crop such as lettuce and endive if
the gardener will keep in mind that
they are cool season crops and are at
their best quality before the hot
weather of early summer arrives.
This means that these crops must
be planted early in order to mature
early. Many gardeners complain that
they cannot grow good head lettuce
because the hot weather damages it
before it matures. That is an indica
tion that they either did not plant
early enough or that they used a poor
ly adapted variety.
Young lettuce plants will withstand
a lot of frosty weather so the frost
date is not important. In fact, in the
extreme eastern portion of the state it
is now getting late for best results,
in central and Piedmont areas it is
just about the right time to set head

lettuce plants and in the mountains it
is still a little early. Good plants may
usually be obtained from seed and
plant stores or from commercial grow
; ers. The Great Lakes variety is the
most dependable heading pariety for
our growing conditions.
Lettuce and other salad crops re
: quire heavy fertilization to keep them
growing rapidly. Stable manure is an
excellent fertilizer but should be sup
plemented with a good cemmercial
: fertilizer to furnish quickly available
plant food. Plants should be set about
12 inches apart in the row. Cultiva
tion should be shallow and watering
is essential in dry periods, especially
, when the heads are forming. Lettuce
will not thrive on very acid soils.
, Some people prefer leaf lettuce to
head lettuce because the leaves are
1 green and not so coarse. An excellent
NAA/VWWWW*'
variety is the new “Salad Bowl” which
makes a compact growth and will
withstand quite a lot of hot weather.
Plants are usually not available so
seed of leaf lettuce should be sown
I early.
I Endive is a salad crop similar to let
tuce but is not commonly grown in
home gardens. There are two types—
the curled endive with frilled leaves
and the smooth leaved type. Endive
is grown like head lettuce, but makes
a loose head and the inner leaves may
be blanched by tying the outer leaves
over them. Endive is stronger in fla-
