ALMAR FARM
In Transylvania
BY CAL CARPENTER
When Marge and I first
came to the farm, I helped
with the canning and freezing
and pickling. Marge’s father
was still alive then and he
and Emma Lon were living in
their home in Asheville. They
came out quite often and
Emma Lou was our consul
tant in food preserving, for
neither Marge nor I knew
enough about such things
to put in your hat; but Marge
and I did most of the work.
Then, after Ed Boone’s pass
ing, Emma Lou came to live in
the guest cabin. And this made
things mighty handy where
food preservation was concern
ed. We had the expert right
there; not only as consultant,
but to take charge of the job.
Marge reverted to assistant
and I quietly and gratefully,
lipped completely out.
This went on for two years.
I worked on growing and har
vesting vegetables, but RJarge
and her mother took over
from there. We had plenty
of everything each winder,
all well - frozen, well-pickled
or well - canned, and f
very content with the ar
rangement. r- ' ‘
But Emma Lou hasn’t bgen.
feeling well at ajl this summer
and we’ve had to prqmote ner
to Food Preserving Supervisof.
Margie has taken over as Chief
Operator, and I’ve found myself
hack on the job as Marge’s as
sistant.
My first new experience in
the position was in July. W«’d
not had too much luek with
our beans and corn because
of the rain 1 suppose and al
so, I must admit, because I’d
been too lazy to trellis my'
beans the Wgy I should have;
Anyway, we were getting
beans to eat and likewise
with the corn, but not enough
for freezing and pickling.
So I got in touch with neigh
bor Tommy Hooper, You see,
Tommy’s son, Tommy, Jr., was
making a real big, “pick-your
own” garden as a project in
cooperation with the Extension
Service and TVA Resource
Management Demonstration
’roereni. He had all kinds of
vegetables.
I bought a bushel of beans
’nil five dozen roast ears. I
loaded then on the truck and
took them home, figuring I’d
onload them for Marge and
Emma Lou to “put up” and
go on about my “man’s” bus
iness. But. I got a shock.
“Mother can help,” said
Marge, “but she’s not able to
do all thK and I can’t do it
by myself.”
“Well,” said I reluctantly,
‘I guess I’ll have to help then.”
“I guess you will,” said
large succinctly.
So I found myself a Vege
able Processor Helper, sec
)nd class.
First we broke and strung
that bushel of beans. Emma
Lou helped all she felt like,
but it took quite a while. I’d
helped break a few beans be
fore, hut never that many.
I blistered iny finger, believe
it or not, breaking those
beans.
Then we started processing
the corn. And for the first part
of the job, at least, I’ve de
veloped a system. I take the
■l'esh picked ears out to the
:orner of the hog house be
ide the fence. There I set up
i big chopping block. I then
take each ear ahd, holding it
on the block, lop off each end
with two strokes of a hatchet,
this gives a clean, square-end
d ear of corn that shucks with
practically no effort.
As I’m chopping, I toss the
ends and shucks over 'the
fence into the hog lot. The
wild Russian hogs take care
of the left - overs in short
order.
When the corn was ready,
Supervisor in Chief Emma Lou
and Chief Pickier Marge an
nounced we were going to make
“Chow” — not “chow-chow,”
but “Chow.” You see, chow
chow is a condiment, a sort of
relish. Chow is a dish in itself.
It’s made of cabbage, beans,
corn and a little hot pepper,
all pickled in a crock.
So, under instruction, I
TTT
helped cook the beans. When
they were just done, they
were put in cold water tp
cool. While the beans were
cooking, I chopped cabbage,
after first getting the heads
from the garden. Then I cut
the corn off the cob, being
careful, as instructed, not to
get tbe “milk” — just the
top part of the grains. This
was then cooked, just about
as you’d cook a “corn on tlje
cob” ear. Then several whole
pods of green, very strong,
Cheyenne pepper were pick
ed and brought, from the gar
den by you know whom.
After all this preparation,
the chopped cabbage, the cool
ed and drained corn kernels,
and the cooked and cooled
beans were mixed and the
pods of pepper thrown in. Then
tfie mixture, under Emma Lou’s
infraction, was packed in a
big 8-gallon crock:
First, a sprinkle pi plain
sajt, then a layer of Chow
mixture, then a sprinkling of
salt, then apqther layer of
mixture and sq on. Emma
Lon did the salting, since
this takes experience. Then
when the crock was nearly
full, she packed a dean, damp
cloth on top, put a couple of
sauoers on top of tbai, gnd
then two lsirge, clean river
rocks tt> weight it down.
When this was all done, I
Suddenly thought to check the
“moon signs” in my Almanac.
Thank goodness, they were
right. They were in the Knees
—just where the old folks say
they should be.
Wfe ljfft the Chow in the
'crocj^eight days and then can
•nrait. We sampled it first, and
Boy, was it good!
So now I’m back to being
a food processor’s helper in
addition to my many other
jobs at the farm. But. I don’t
mind. I just think of how
good that Chow and all the
other things we pat up are
going to taste on a cold wint
er day when we sit down to
dinner in the cagin.

Has shoefitting improved
over the years?
It may seem incredible but
the fitting of children’s shoes
has improved immeasurably
in the last twenty years. Par
ents are no longer flabber
gasted when a shoe-fitter
measures both feet of their
child. Twenty years ago you
felt fortunate if he measured
either foot.
After careful measure
ment, the modern shoefitter
may try three or four shoes
in this same size before he is
satisfied that he has the cor
rect last for the child’s foot.
Twenty years ago, if the last
of the shoe was wrong the
shoe clerk changed the size.
Almost all shoe sizes were
concealed in code so the
customer didn’t know the dif
ference.
It is a sad commentary on
our nation’s interest in foot
health that the law requires
a manufacturer of clothing
to show the percentage of
wool, cotton etc. but the shoe
manufacturer is not required
to mark shoe sizes so the
buyer can read them.
