NEEDED: Half a teaspoonful of cornstarch, water, tincture of iodine, foods to be tested, perhaps lemon and orange juice. DO THIS: Boil the starch in half a glass of water. Put 20 drops of the mixture into a glass of water, and add one or two drops of idoine. A blue colar should appear. If food containing vitamin C is added, drop by drop, the blue color should disappear. THE FALLACY: Food containing vitamin C seems to destroy the somewhat mysterious combination of starch and iodine which is responsible for the blue color. But the blue color is also destroyed in other ways, so this is not a specific and sure test for vitamin C, in spite of what some books claim. THE "TIMES’* PRIZE-WINNING COLUMN .r From ! ALMAR FARM In Transylvania BY CAL CARPENTER There’s been much written about the color and beauty of Fall. Poets and writers have eulogized the color of our mountain Autumn for years, and I have no quarrel with them. I’ve tried to do the same thing myself. But I’m of the mind that the spectacular color, which comes in the late Fall, might have been over-praised at the ex pense of the late Summer or Early Fall, which you will hard ly notice unless you go out and look for it. Admittedly, there’s not the beautiful color of the Autumn leaves in these early weeks. But the first days of a dying Summer have a nostalgic charm of their own. There’s the first feel of Autumn in the air—that almost indefinable nip in the mornings that somehow lets you know Summer is going, although the mountains are still green, the flowers still blooming, and the sun still shining as brightly as in July. There’s that unsum mer-like cool in the hours be fore dawn that closes the bed room windows and starts the furnace sighing in the base ment. There’s that “Fall” taste to the tomatoes from t.he garden, the drying beans hanging on the vines, seeds for next year’s planting. There’s the grass on the lawn not grow ing so fast—mowing can be put off a week longer. There’s the tall weeds in the untend ed fields (and unfortunately, by this time, in the gardens) —Joe Pve, Ironweed; the Fagged Robin and Goldenrod heavy beside the country roads. 1 There’s the “Love Entangle ment” covering the tops of honeysuckle vines like a golden spider web. There’s the first, isolated bits of color beginning to show on the sumac and the sourwood tree, and the first, solitary falling leaf. There’s a death-in-life still ness in the morning despite the song birds, for in the midst of all the green and still-living things, there’s an almost inexpressible feel of dying. There’s signs aplenty for those who go out and. look with open eyes at the world around them. The corn has dying leaves on the lower stalk al though still green on top, and the silks are brown in the still green ear. Fields, though still heavy with grass, show a dark ening—a, somehow, older look that is not there unless you feel for it. The first signs of harvest are there in the farmer reaping his last cutting of hay, the stock raiser cutting and siloing his winter feed. The hot, mid-day sun, though pushing t,he ther mometer into Summer’s ranges, has a more felt than seen weakness that speaks of frost on the meadows and snow on the mountain tops to come. In the twilight there’s the sound of the cicada and katy did, the frogs on the marges of lakes and ponds, but they are less voiciferous, their sounds seemingly muted and tired. In the night there’s the beginning of the cricket’s autumnal chorous that makes you bundle beneath a blanket and think of firesides and snug cabins but tressed against the snow. Yes, there is a charm, a kind of sorrowful charm. Where the colorful Fall itself has t.he charm of fulfillment, of harvest and the anticipa tion of Winter’s quiet rest, this strange intermezzo of seasons has a bitter - sweet sadness and a transistory beauty all its own. It’s the lustful growing of Summer not yet gone with the mature fulfillment of Autumn not yet come. It’s a nostalgia, a half-felt sorrow for passing things that lies just below the surface of the mind, It’s the behind-the-eyes realization that while the growing and produc ing will continue for yet a little while, it is almost over. It’s the knowledge that the seeds of Summer’s death are already sown and it is just a matter of time, a short time, before their flowering. With the coming of Autumn, these morbid thoughts of dying Summer will end. But until that time, there is the sadness, the pain ful farewell to dying Summer and a beauty more felt, than seen that gives the Early Fall its almost un-noticed charm. As I noted before, this has been almost neglected by writ ers and poets. It has probably just been overlooked, for, as I said, it’s something that is not obvious like the glorious colors of Fall. It. will not be there for you unless you go out and look for it.
