StateCoDegeHmts To Farm Homes By RUTH CURRENT If not fo*" this year, then for next, line a stone crock with grape leaves, fill it up writh littlle green tomatoes and dill. Use the same i tober, strength brine as you would for (health cucumbers. The finished product resembles small green olives. Use a transparent ruler for marjdng hems or measuring but- t«.n-holea; it will make the sewing job much easier. If your scissors develop a catch when you’re cutting borrow an old time trick from the tailors. Open them wide and dCaw them over your hair in the back, tttm them over and do the same with the other side. This ofls tiie blades just the least bit, enougb to make thbm:wo|ric smooQily. Sgt.
