Agriculture Tasty show held in Hertford The thtRK for the MI Food Show and Tasting Tour was "Festival Foods." This theme mawd very appropriate since everyone seems to be in the festival spirit this year. Our food show consisted of D food exhibits that portrayed o?r theme Each exhibit was uniquely designed by its exhibitor and displayed an array of interesting foods and cen terpieces. The special guest at the M2 show was Patricia Russell, Home Economics Extension Agent from Halifax County. Miss Russell's specialty was breadmaking She provided bread of almost ever> de script on for tasting. Her breads ranged from banana to cheese to Christmas to whole wheat to braided bread. Miss Russell demonstrated various phases and techniques necessary for successful breadmaking as well as revived the almost forgotten art of breadmaking A number of Extension Homemaker clubs had food exhibits this year. The Bay Branch EH Club was the first exhibit to greet par ticipants. Their popular recipe was corn pudding, which was prepared by Mrs. Reba Hurdle. Other interesting recipes were Mexican com bread and a corn and bean casserole. The Burgess EH Club really put on a big show this year Their club alone exhibited seven food items for the tasters that ranged from blueberry cobbler to walnut chess pie. AU will attest to the fact that these ladies can take a simple food item and turn it into a dish fit for a king ! Joan Trueblood and the Helen Gaither EH Club also had a very nice exhibit. Their table cover was made of dried materials The recipes they shared included baked glared but ternut squash, succotash with light cream as an ingredient and Indian pudding, which is a recipe that was passed from the Indians to colonial settlers many years ago. wk m.mut KXRNSaOM I teoiM) TV Extension Hwikm (rtw the Poole's Grove Cfeab addti a new twist this j*?r. They had oat the community 4-H'ers do a poster for their exhibit illustrating festive or holiday foods The hit at their table was a crabmeat dip. prepared by Mrs. Lucy Johnikins. that no one could find in the recipe book. I'm sure Mrs. Johnikins bad a tot of fun telling everyone that what they were tasting was crabaaeat dip and not a cranberry-pecan bread, which was listed as her recipe. Other recipes included snow mountains and a holiday cake special. We had several news exhibitors this year? a civic club and and area 4-H'ers The Hertford Business and Professional Women's Club was one new exhibitor this year. Janice Boyce and Hutda Wood provided the items for tasting and Bonnie White and Paula Dale mannewd the exhibit. This was a very good food exhibit that any business woman would readily claim. Their recipes for tasting included carrot cake with orange glaie. magic pumpkin pie and fresh apple cake. Other new exhibitors were 4-H'ers Cornelius Mack, a 4-H'er from Belvidere shared molasses cake that contained homemade molasses He has also presented a 4-H demon stration on cookie making at our recent District Activity Day.

Ann can attest to the fact that EUen does make an excellent pretael? hot or cold Shelly Gordan. district winner. Laurie Mitchell and Kim Hudson shared pineapple delight, egg drop soup and egg custard AU of our 4-H participants had outstanding exhibits that reflected a lot of time and effort. No food show would be complete without E.Land Douglas' The famous chefs E.L. Hurdle and Douglas Umphlett really added quite a bit of interest to our show. Hurdle prepared his famous trench fried sweet potatoes and was assisted by Eariine White Umphlett. of Hertford Motor Co.. was really beyond himself this year. He was neatly dressed his his cheTs hat and apron as he anriously awaited the hungry crowd. This year Douglas provided ideas for microwaved appetiser and dessert items. His recipes included deviled bacon, scotch treats, swiss fondue and popcorn E.L. and Douglas provided a great service to our food show that was well-liked and appreciated by all 200 tasters. Perquimans Gardening ?y Jean Winslow Check camellias for tea scale. Now that nights are cooler you will want to use an oil-based spray, such as Volck. Take grass out of the cracks of brick walks before winter sets in and you forget to do it. Grass roots continue to develop during cold months, and may seriously disrupt brickwork. Rock salt will help eradicate what you cannot remove manually. Do not use gasoline, as it may harm or kill neighboring plants Feed roses for a fall ex travangania Keep mulched and watered. The frost that proved so disastrous to fruit growers last spring had one redeeming grace. Our Mama Gingko did not produce those often smelly fruits that stick to the bottom of your shoes, or rot aromatically in the hot fall sun. Nomownr? START SO WW Fall is the most crucial time in lawn maintenance ? don't stop now just because you are not using that lawn mower like you were. The ex perts at State have many good suggestions on caring for coot season types of lawns, such as fescue or blue grass. Warm season grasses, Bui^ muda. and the like are not par ticularly utilized around here. Take a good look. It is patchy? Thin? Weedy? Should you repair or start over?

But wait, get the ground ready for that seed. Hand raking or forking is probably the best way to loosen soil if the area is snail. If you intend to prepare a big lawn, however, it Mat be advisable to rent or borrow a machine that will core and groove the surface. Soil should be worked 2 ut 3 inches deep for best results.
