YOU WANT TO LOOK YOUR BEST AT ALL TIMES That’s The Way We DRY CLEAN the best - - - at all times Garden ‘Greens’ Can Be Continuous —Photo Courtesy Perry-Morse Seed Co. Plenty of leafy vegetables, raw and cooked, are necessary in the diet of both children and grownups in order to promote vigor and well-being. In a home garden they can be continuous for many months if various kinds are grown. Leaf lettuce is one of the ft st green things to appear. The young icdvca L'tm uc jumeu lux me uuie' when only a couple of inches in length while the smaller inrer leaves are left to grow. The se ne is true of spinach; the tender rew leaves are as good raw as coo :ed when chopped and served with oil and vinegar dressing. Or, treat them the same as “wilted lettuce” by pouring over them a mixture of hot bacon fat, vinegar, and bits of cooked bacon. To vary the flavor of these greens, add a small amount of peppergrass. The frilled curly foliage af this upland cress is as easy to grow as lettuce. For long season greens swiss chard is a winner. No leafy vegetable stands hot weather better. The outer leaves should be kept picked, the inner ones left to continue growing, and the result will be tender, brittle ■talks and leaves for a long time. Of the numerous root tops used as greens, beet, mustard, and turnip are increasingly popular. Like all vegetables they are best when young. Mustard and turnip particularly should be used for greens only in the early stages. The tops of mus tard and turnip combined are ap petizing—a favorite of grandmother’s day. By sowing seed of kale in spring or summer in the North and August to October in the South, fresh greens can be picked from the garden even after the coming of frost and light snow. In fact, some frost improves the texture and flavor of kale, mak ing it a real treat for late autumn and winter meals. Dwarf Curled Kale is one of the best varieties for home gardens. At Home On The Farm With The City Cousin As I walked down the dark street, bent on catching a bus home, Wallace Appleton caught up with me. Both of us had been to the regular Monday night meeting of our civic club, where a man from Chicago told us of the goings-on behind the inter national scene. “How’d you like the talk?” I asked him, as he came along side of me. “I don’t know—” he says, “sometimes I think we hear too much of national and internation al problems, not enough about what we can do in this city of ours to cure its many ills." We came to the corner where 1 wait for my bus to the suburbs. Standing there around a traffic light, we talked things over. I told Wallace we mustn’t lose sight of the broader phases of living in today’s world, but at the same time, 1 agreed that it might have been better to hear what our city was doing about the housing shortage. ‘Take the small .rural commun ity of our fathers’ time,” Wallace says. “Every problem was met as a community enterprise, with a great deal of loyalty and spirit. Husking bees, log-rollings—why, in those days, when a man was up against it and needed a house, he just called in his neighbors. Each farmer was a stick in a bundle, just like the old fable. They made a pretty strong bund le, too." ‘That sort of thing just isn’t done anymore, huh?” I asked, looking up the street for my bus that was due any time now. “Naw,” says Wallace, with a despairing sigh. "Everybody’s too busy these days.” Then 1 told him the story of Willie Duke. it didn't take place fifty years The last time I was - to m* about Hill _no building, no stock. But Willie didn’t run to his neighbors for help. They came to him, bright and early Monday morning. Nothing was said about the lumber shortage as saws went to work on pine trees that were part of the North Carolina landscape the day before. How about the shortage of labor? Car penters are scarce items today! Carpenters and helpers were measuring and fitting the green boards. Perhaps these neighbors didn’t break any records, but “Willie Duke’s General store” was open for business Thursday morning—four short days after it had been leveled by fire! Meanwhile my bus had come and gone. But Wallace Appleton was convinced that Tar Heel farmers, at least, have not for gotten the lesson of the bundle of sticks.
