Triple Treat.

Dear Folks:

            Friday night in the high school auditorium, Edna folks, will probably have the last chance to see an indoor volleyball game this season.  On this occasion the volleyball girls will play Plainview; the “Roughnecks,” or teachers, will play the Pipe Line Team, and the Sophomores will battle the Freshmen.  With such a program, the spectators are sure to have a delightful time and will get their money’s worth.  The games will start at 7:15, with an admission fee of 15c and 25c.  As this money will go to buy awards for the players, let’s save our pennies and help them.  Hoping to see you at the games, we are.

            THE VOLLEYBALL GIRLS

            THE BASKETBALL BOYS

            THE EDNA HIGH SCHOOL.

At Last-It’s Happened!

            Monday night, March 14th, saw another of the famous informal and tangles Seniors meetings.  However, out of the maze came three plans that were clear enough to be called plans.  First, the Seniors agreed,-yes really-that they accept an invitation from the superintendent of the Victoria high school to join the seniors from neighboring towns in a visit to the old Fannin Battle field, and thus achieve the double purpose of being made more patriotic and more intimate with neighboring classmen.

            We may as well tell you that this excursion has already been made and the results achieved we hope.  After the first stages of fright and awkwardness at being surrounded by people from far away strange cities, we ventured a few questions as to names, locations, etc. Though we are sure the spirit of friendliness was there, we are doubtful if it ever blossomed into intimacy, but of course, there may have been cases.  We were surprised at the flatness and dryness of the location which Fannin picked out for his battle; and after the ensuing speeches (also dry), everyone made a break for water.  Some headed for the San Antonio River and various other sources of water-they had to be great.  We know not what course others took, but we aimed our Ford straight toward the Edna Bottling Works, and arrived to find it was neither 10, 2, nor 4; so-well that’s enough of that.  Now, let’s go back to the second plan.

            Mr. Hutson decided to introduce into our innocent group the gentle art of possum hunting a la horsie.  Personally, we cannot relish the idea as we should.  Maybe we’re old fogies; but why should the beauteous sight of our winsome Senioresses, astride dashing steeds, be covered by the shades of night?  Then, too, maybe the only knowledge we will have of a brave and gallant horseman with a lurching, frothing steed will be a dull thud like that of some lifeless body striking solid earth.

            The last noble act of the meeting was the planning of a sunrise breakfast some time in the near future.  We hope that this breakfast does not follow too closely the ‘possum hunt or else our gallant horsemen –horsewomen included-may be compelled to take their breakfast standing. 

Library Notes.

            Mr. Spence has again helped us enlarge our library by donating “George Washington” by Thora Thorsmark.  This gift is very appropriate for the Washington Bicentennial.

            A senior has heard the insistent call of the library for books.  Burke Hill has donated two very useful and interesting ones.  “Around the World with Kipling,” and a collection of biographical sketches, furnishes very entertaining, reading.  The other book, “The English Novel Before the Nineteenth Century,” will be greatly appreciated by the senior English classes as it contains much valuable information on our present class lessons.  These books will be ready for reading within the next few days.

Shops Victorious.

            You can’s keep a good man down!  Dear Reader, you should have seen those Sophs walk right over those poor little fish in a snappy game of basketball Tuesday night. It was a shame! 

            Captain Fullback Woolsey, a misplaced Junior, walked his team right on down the court to victory.

            The score keeper was tight with his chalk, for I am sure the score was much larger than indicated.  However, it was enough to show who the best man was.  It happened to be 8 to 2 in favor the Sophs.

            We are glad to state that there is an increase in attendance.  Those, who through illness, have been absent for the past week have been absent for the past week, have absent for the past week have returned to their stalls.  They are Harriet Taylor, Kathryn Spence, Eunice McElroy, Vernon Gibson, Mary Beth Shutt and Lorain Williams.

            And Another Thing-

Look at his honor roll:

            Vera Jewel Jones

            Kathryn Spence

            Louise Wilson

            John T. Vance

            Anthony Staples

            Lorain Williams

These are very loyal Sophs, and we hope to better ourselves in this line every day in every way.

            Imported straight from France: One more Soph-Mme Eugenie Choquet, who added a foreign atmosphere to our class, Parley Voux Francais? Single! Single! Vale!

            Sad but true-

            The Arar River flows into the Rhone.

            The Sophs are still waiting for that “moonshine” hay ride.

            Harriet (Taylor) laughs in English class over jokes told in Latin.

            Mary Beth Shutt goes to Algebra ontime.

            Mrs. Culberson came back after a siege of “chimney fever”.

            Miss Allen hasn’t had the “flew” yet.

            John T. Vance has come down to earth with his wondering thoughts.

            Mr. Huston had to be helped out of bed after a light game of tennis with a Soph.

            Mrs. Schiewitz did not have anything to say in Assembly this morning.

            Kathyrn (Spence) made 97 in some of her subject this six weeks.  --Reporter 

Fish, Facts and Fancies.

            The Freshmen are by no means depressed because of the basketball game played last week with the Sophomores.  As the Fish won the first game, to have lost the second is not such an extreme tragedy, for there is still another game to be played.

            Hugie Gregory, captain of the, basketball team, is one of the many Freshman students who have fallen heir to the prevalent flu epidemic.  We are not so happy, too, that our athletic ace, Garvice Shoemate will be unable to participate in any form of sports probably for the remainder of the year.  He is suffering from a badly sprained knee.

            Troubles never come s i n g l y.  Neither have they came in pairs for us recently.  One of our best loved Fish, Lucille Watson, was dragged away to Louisiana.  The whole class is missing her sorely.  Horner is especially down cast.

            In spite of our many woes Latin our worst-we have this list of honor students to present to you:

            Gilbert Parks

            Charles Sonitz

            Aubrey Stallings

            Ida Hollub

            Marianne Lorenzen

            Lucy McDowell

            Catherine Simons

            We expect every Fish father, mother, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin or friend to be in the high school gym Friday night when the final game with the Sophs is to be played.

 Early Edna History.

            The following interesting letter is from a sister of Mr. Tom Willbanks who has written for the Herald several interesting stories about Edna early history.  The author of this letter was formerly Miss Mattie Willbanks, a native of Jackson County, but we do not know her name since she married.

            Los Angeles, Calif.

            The old timer gave a good description of Edna 50 years ago.  I was there and saw it with the eyes of a 14-year old country girl.  We went down from Morales in a covered wagon, starting before the day’s dawn and it was still dark.  Uncle Jackson Nolan drove the wagon,  I do not remember how many boys went, but think our crowd was made up of mostly girls.  I had never seen a train, and got in a jam on the platform and could not get out of it until the rush was over, as the people were getting off onto the flat car that was used for a station.  I could not get back, and none of the Rocky Mountain high peaks I have seen since I come west, look half as big as that train did as it came flying down on us, and it was a mystery to me for some time how the man made so much racket with just one whistle.  An England Big Ben never ding donged any louder than that bell did.  A cow bell was the only bell I was used to.  But of course they did extra on account of the celebration.  The men folks were very busy holding their teams just then, and some of the cowboys, who thought they would show off before the crowd, got too close so they viewed the train, if all all, from the flat of their backs while stretched out on the grass, and some had to bum a ride house, for I am sure if the horses were as badly frightened as I was, they never stopped until they struck their noses over the home fence.  And, to this good day, I never like to be close to a train.

            Like the old timer, I saw my first ice cream and pink lemonade, and they were better than you can get in these late days of hustle and bustle.  Lemonade was 10c a glass, and stick candy 2 for a nickel.  And, my, weren’t we tired when we got home.  We just filled up on good old sweet milk and corn bread and went to bed at once and slept like babies all night.  My, those were sure good old times of years gone by.  We did not know that there were so many people in the world until that eventful day, at the stage, having lived all of my life up on the Navidad River in the postoaks of upper Jackson County.

New Delco-Light Plant.

            A new Delco Light-Plant, which opens the way to electrical service for thousands of farms, was announced at a meeting of Delco-Light men at San Antonio yesterday, according to Frank Kohutek, Jackson County dealer, who attended the session.    

            Mr. Kohutek, whose headquarters are at Ganado, says that the new Delco-Light is the most advanced step taken in rural electrification since the invention of the first individual power plant nearly sixteen years ago.

            The new equipment, which is manufactured by the Delco Appliance Corporation, subsidiary of General Motors, at Rochester, N. Y., in appearance is vastly different from any other plant in the field.  It is more compact, more pleasing from the artistic standpoint and improved from every standpoint.

            Mechanically, all the best features of former plants have been retained, with improvements made where tests showed them advisable, says C. C. Whistler, manager, Delco-Light products division of the Rochester factory.  Bearing are built extra heavy and the lubrication has been designed to keep a constant flow to all moving parts.

            Many months of experiments in the Delco Appliance Laboratories in Rochester and actual operation in the field have added many refinements to the new plant.  In the laboratories, artificial weather ranging from below zero to summer heat, has tried the performance of the new plant.  Then, to be sure of satisfactory operation under various climatic conditions, experimental plants were installed in New York, North Carolina, Louisiana, Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota. 

            Nearly 375,000 Delco-Light plants have been put in service since the first one was installed nearly 16 years ago.  They are in service from the frozen arctic to the seething tropics of central Africa.  Come in and see the new Delco on display in our store.  FRANK KOUTEK, Ganado, Texas.

 Most Valuable Student.

            Misses Eleanor Frances Hensley, Elizabeth Ann Schleicher and Mary Coward were the three favorites of the Victoria Junior College selected from the twelve original nominees made by the students sometime ago.  The favorites were named Friday.

            Leslie Hiller was named the college’s most valuable student after having been nominated by the student body and voted on by a committee consisting of three members of the sophomore class two members of the freshman class and V. L. Griffin, Dean E. J. Dysart, B. E. Hardt and Miss Una T. Hunter as members of the faculty.

            The sophomore class members on the committee wore Miss Eula Weisger, Maple Pollard and Ray Gayle.  The freshman members were Miss Lucille Calhoun and Joe Brunette.

            The “V” Association chose Maple Pollard, outstanding football and basketball player, as the most valuable athlete of the college.

            A secret ballot by the entire student body determined the most popular boy.  He is Victor Sala, himself proficient in athletics and scholarship. 

            The points considered in selecting (Leslie) Hiller were scholarship, leadership, character and extra curricula activities.

            A full page photo of each of these students will be a feature of “The Buccaneer” college annual.-Victoria Advocate.

 

            J. E. Stavinoha, popular Ganado dry goods merchant, was an Edna visitor Friday and while here dropped in at this office to leave an order for a batch of page circulars, which he will use in advertising the big “Pre-arranged Sale” which he will put on Thursday (today), Friday, and Saturday.  The sale is put on to move the last of the fall and winter goods from the shelves in order to make room for new spring and summer goods.  Mr. (J. E.) Stavinoha is not given to making extravagant statements and when he says he is going to put on a sale, you can bet it will be just that.

 

 District Divided.

            At a special meeting of the Interscholastic League officials, coaches and school representatives of this district at Victoria last week there was a division made in the district-division A and division B.  This division as we understand it applies only to football.

            The district recently took in a new member, BeevilleBeeville was in a section where they are playing a great deal of class A football and she decided that she had rather associate with Class B folks.  District 21 was glad to have the new member come in and promise for her a cordial welcome.  By way of parenthesis, we might mention that perhaps the most exciting game the Edna Cowboys ever played was the Beeville team at Goliad.  That was in the days of Claude Trayloy, Leonard Gibson, Steele Simons, Eb. McDowell, Frank Power, etc.  The Cowboys won at the last moment.  A lot of our fans still maintain that this was the most thrilling game the Cowboys ever played.

            But back to the division of our district.  Beeville’s entrance gave the district ten teams.  There were those who thought ten games were too many for a schedule and that was one reason advanced for a division.  Another reason advanced was that the little schools of the district could not well compete on the gridiron with the large schools.  It was suggested that if a division was made whereby the little schools could be grouped together and the larger schools matcher together, there would be keener interest manifested both by the fans and the players themselves.  This move was for the purpose of giving the small schools an even break or keeping them in their own class.  The idea probably is a good one, but to an outsider it seems that there was some kind of mix up in the classification.  This is especially true if we know the definition of “big” and “little”.  This is the way they are classified for next year’s competition:

            Class A (or large schools)-Beeville (population 4,806); Cuero, (population 4,672; Yoakum (population 5,565); Victoria (population 7, 421); and Edna (population 1,752).

            Class B (or small schools)-Yorktown (population 1,882); Hallettsville (population 1,406); Goliad (population 1,424); Port Lavaca (population 1,367); and Ganado (population about 700).

            Edna, ranking sixth in population is put in Class A with the Big Five, while Yorktown, ranking fifth, is put in the Little Five.  Even from a geographical standpoint, the above ranking is likewise out of order.  It looks just a little bit like Edna has been framed.  However, there is one consolation and that is Edna and the Cowboys have been paid a high compliment by the football coaches and league officials of the district.  And it is a compliment that is deserved according to our way of thinking, as past performances show the Cowboys are amply able to care for their interests with the larger schools of the district, and we, speaking for the writer only, are glad that the Cowboys will be a member of the Big Five next season.

            Each team must play three games in each division and may play as many as suits their fancy outside of the district.  However, the percentage basis is figured on the six games within the district-three with each group.

            Edna, Victoria, Beeville, and Hallettsville voted again against dividing the district into Class A and B groups, and Port Lavaca, Yoakum, Yorktown, Ganado, Cuero and Goliad voted for the division.

            Edna has the new league member on its schedule next season.  Beeville has always put out a great team and there is a reason for it.  In the first place it is a good football town, and they have the population and a very competent coach.  Coach Chetham, a Texas University man, is one of the outstanding high school coaches in Texas.

 

 How Many Can be Fed?

            As nearly as can be estimated, the population of the world reached 850 million in 1800 and in the century between that and 1900 it practically doubled.  It is now about 1,750 million.

            When it is considered that it took the human race possibly half a million years to reach 850 million and only 100 years to double that number the fact is significant.  Looking into the future, it must be remembered that human life is being lengthened and preserved through better observance of the laws of health and the advancement of science; also, that if the future wars can be reduced, still greater increases may be expected.

            The question naturally arises, for how many people can the earth supply the necessary food?  When, if ever, will the famine become general, instead of occasional and local, as in the past and present?

            So far, there is ample food in the world, if it could be distributed where it is needed.  But right now, hundreds of thousands in the Near East, in Russia, in India, in China and in many other parts of the world are dying, either directly or indirectly from lack of food.

            In the past hundred years vast new areas of fertile land have been opened to cultivation, but famine still exists, partly through congestion of populations and partly through lack of transportation.

            While this problem may not seriously affect America for several generations, at the present rate of increase in population it will only be a question of time until the food situation will be a grave one for the entire world, unless improved chemical means for sustaining life can be practically developed.

            Probably the civic clubs of the distant future will be trying to get rid of the people, instead of boosting for bigger towns.-Kerrville Mountain Sun.

            The auto will help solve this question, especially if they continue to increase the speed.

 Cookery Chats.

By LEOLA SEASTRUNK (Central Power and Light Co.)

            Because I have not always lived in South Texas, it’s awfully hard for me to realize that fresh strawberries are not too precious to be indulged in except on very special occasions, but with Atascosa County, the Winter Garden and Rio Grande Valley producing such abundant crops of them we may enjoy them regularly throughout the season.

            Here are my favorite ways of serving them (except, of course, the always acceptable Strawberries and cream and strawberry shortcake.

Strawberry Meringues.

            Prepare large individual meringues and remove the centers while still soft.  Fill the cavity and heap it well with fresh strawberries which have been previously cut in halves and sugared slightly.  Top with whipped cream and garnish with a very perfect berry.  Serve cold and lace paper dollies.

 Frozen Strawberry Whip.

            Into a large mixing bowl place one cupful of crushed strawberries, one-quarter of a cupful of confectioners’ sugar, two egg whites and one tablespoonful of lemon juice.  Using a wheel beater, beat until the mixture is very stiff.  Then pack in salt and ice or in tray of refrigerator and leave until frozen.  Cut into squares and serve.

 Strawberry Souffle.

            Boil one cup of sugar in one-fourth cup of water until it threads readily.  Add to this two boxes of strawberries previously stemmed and pressed through a strainer.  Allow the mixture to blend, then remove from stove and add one teaspoon vanilla.  Now pour the sirup over three egg whites beaten stiff.  Transfer to buttered and sugared soufflé dish and bake in moderate oven for thirty minutes.  Serve instantly.

 Strawberry Fluff.

            Strawberry fluff is not only a very delicious and appealing desert, but an economical one.  It calls for but one egg white, one-half cupful of granulated sugar and one-half cupful of crushed strawberries with shipped or plain cream, as one desires.  Beat the egg white slightly, adding a few drops of lemon juice, then gradually whip in the sugar and crushed, but not strained berries alternately.  Whip until the mixture expands to fill a quart bowl and is exceedingly light and fluffy.  Pile into tall, slender glasses or into sherbet cups and chill thoroughly.  Serve with plain cream or garnish with a spoonful of whipped cream.  For a more pretentious dessert, fold in one cupful of stiffly whipped cream into the strawberry mixture after it has been beaten sufficiently; then pile in parfait glasses, chill, garnish with ripe strawberries and serve.

 The Scandal Monger.
(Houston Chronicle)

            In nearly all establishments there are employees who carry tales to those in charge of the business of the department heads.

            Usually such people do not confine themselves to matters pertaining to the business which the bosses ought to know.

            Often they are personal matters with certain employees which are apt to have a bad affect on their chances for promotion or retaining their jobs.

            The tale carrier hopes to make his position more secure and gain for him favorable consideration in the future.

            The wise superintendent may listen, but he will not be favorably impressed by the one who tells tales of derogatory nature to his fellow employees.

            It is safe to say that the person who will bear tales about those working with him would also peddle information about the firm to those outside.

            And the superintendent knows that such a one would not hesitate to say things about him to those above him.

            Such a person is not a safe employee for a responsible position, and responsible positions hold much inside information that it would not do to talk about outside the establishment.

            The scandal-monger of any degree is most unsafe anywhere, in any business.

Ganado has suffered a great loss.  He was a substantial citizen and business man, a devoted husband and loving father, and loyal to his church.  His going has been deeply felt in this community.  The funeral services were conducted in the Ganado Catholic Church Saturday morning, Rev. Mr. Caster officiating.  The body was sent to Boone, Iowa, his old home town, and there laid to rest Tuesday, March 22nd.  He leaves a wife, two daughters, two sons and several brothers and sisters and to these grief-stricken ones we extend our heartfelt sympathy.  May God’s love shine more and more in your hearts until the day breaks and the shadows fall away.

            Mr. T. A. McCoy’s sister, Miss Loretta (McCoy), and his brother, George McCoy of Boone, Iowa, and his aunt, Mrs. Mollie Fees of Houston were here for the funeral services, and accompanied the remains to Boone, Iowa, for burial.

Mrs. Ludwig Sablatura celebrated in the afternoon of March 22nd with a lawn party in honor of her little daughter Evelyn’s (Sablatura) second birthday.  A number of little tots, near friends and realatives gathered to wish the little lady many returns of the happy event.  Evelyn (Sablatura) was the recipient of many attractive and useful gifts.  A big birthday cake with two candles and lots of goodies for the little ones, completed a happy afternoon.

            At the try-outs last Wednesday afternoon the juniors selected to represent the school at the county meet in declamation were as follows:

            Again we feel lucky.  We missed the snow, storms and tornadoes that worked such havoc in the west and some southern states Monday.  Jackson County isn’t such a bad place in which to live, anyway.  Our worst feature was high wind and a strange murky atmosphere that kept us guessing.

 County Agent’s Column
J. ARTHUR SCOFIELD

Agriculture Agent, Jackson County

?

? has come to ? days that there are ? left in the Valley ?.  It is entirely ? tomatoes to be planted ? information that ? per cent of the cucumber? Planted.  We also have the information from a reliable source., that East Texas is increasing their tomato acreage by 25 percent.  All tomatoes were frozen and are being planted over.  These planting are being done in the hot bed and will be transplanted to the cold frame and then to the field in the usual way.

            The present prospects are that the price will be extra good for the early tomatoes and cucumbers.  Our advice to farmers who have these crops is to give them every advantage that is possible to give them so that they will make the maximum growth and come to maturity at the earliest date.  Use plenty of fertilizer and give them intensive cultivation.  A side dressing will, no doubt, be of great benefit this year in bringing the fruit on earlier. Nitrate of soda may be used for this purpose or ammonium sulfate.  The former is quicker acting, but the latter has a higher nitrogen content and lasts longer.  The price is just about the same, or at least, almost the same.  Use either of these as a side dressing after growth has started.  Then work it in the soil well.  Precautions must be taken not to get it too close to the plants as injury will result rather than benefit.

            Our information, after checking over the acreage as best we could without going to every grower, is that we saved about 25 percent of the tomatoes and enough seed have been sold in Edna to replant about sixty acres or more.  We figure that we have something like 100 figure that we have something like 100 acres left.  No cucumbers were planted before the freeze , or very few.  Since the freeze some of the tomato ground has been planted to cucumbers.  We should have something like 125 acres or more.

            Cucumbers should be planted this week.  Most of the seed have been planted and they should all be planted as near the same time as possible.  Get them planted AT ONCE.  If you did not get to put out fertilizer, wait until they get up and growing and use a side-dressing as described above.

Testing Dairy Cows.

            There has been some agitation about the testing of dairy cattle of this section for tuberculosis.  We feel sure that the time is coming and not long off, when it will be necessary to have our cows tested in order that our milk may be graded and graded milk will bring more money.  We might as well start now, to clean up our herds, if there are any reactors, and if there are, we surely want to get them out.  Aside from the fact that we will get more money for our milk, these cows should be tested for our OWN protection and for the protection of OUR families.

            Come to think about it, that is the real reason that milk from tuberculin tested cows is worth more money and the reason why people are willing to pay more for it.  THEY KNOW THAT IT IS FREE FROM TUBERCULOSIS GERMS.

            This is the first step that has to be taken in the production of graded milk, any grade, to be sold anywhere that milk ahs to be graded in order to be sold.  All the other requirements maybe met to the letter, but if this is not done as prescribed by the ordinances of those cities where milk is graded the milk is not considered as being fit for human consumption.

            Investigation is being made at this time as to the cost of the testing and other things pertaining to it; also in regard to the production of graded milk.  More will appear next week about this all important matter.  We have been looking forward for this  time for months and who knew but that the opportunity has arrived for us to advance a step.  Make some progress forward that may mean a great deal to the health of our section and to our pocketbooks as well. 

Federal Loans

            More interest in the Federal Loans was shown last week than was expected.  Nineteen applications were received and sent to the Dallas office, besides numerous inquires from some who could not qualify for a loan.  It is our sincere hope that this money will be put out to those who really need it and that those who get it will realize that it is absolutely necessary that it goes where the application says that it should go.

Large Choir Coming to Ganado.
Texas Lutheran College Choir of 44 Voices Will Sing in Ganado High School Soon.

            The Texas Lutheran College Choir, which will appear in Ganado on Easter Monday afternoon, is making its third annual concert tour, extending over a period of sixteen days, and covering a large territory in East and Southeast Texas.  The choir, which is under the direction of Prof. H. E. Gibson, is composed of forty-four voices selected from the student body and faculty of Texas Lutheran Junior College at Seguin, Texas.

            The choir sings sacred music exclusively, interpreting the incomparable gems of church song with masterful precision and art.  The singers feel that it is their mission to make the people of the State acquainted with the beauties of church music (which of all music is the noblest and most inspiring) and to lead the Lutheran church to appreciate the great treasure which she possesses in her sacred songs.  Prof. Gibson had devoted his untiring efforts in preparing the choir for this tour, and those who have heard them sing testify to the success of his work.  Wherever the choir appeared last year, in high school and churches, it was well received.  During their last year’s tour they gave about forty programs, appearing before some fifteen thousand people.

            Come and hear this “Choir of the South” that will appear in the Ganado High School auditorium, under the Auspices of the Ladies’ Aid of St. James Lutheran Church, on Easter Monday afternoon at 3:15 o’clock.  The program to be rendered will be selected from the following, as time will permit: 1. (a) Today There is Ringing-Christianson. (b) Send Out Thy Light-Gounod  2..  Vocal solo.-Selected.  3. (a) Agnus Del-Kalinnikof (b) Cherublie Hymn-Gretchaniinoff.  4. Lord Jesus Who Dost Love Me.-Lundquist-Male Quartet. 5. Prelude in C-Minor-Adapted Alois Braun. 6. (a) In Heaven Above-Christiansen.-Solo by Miss Ora Nell Ponfick. (b) Father Most Holy-Christiansen.  7. Address-Pres. Kraushear.  8. Cornett Solo-Mr. Elmo Rahe Offering. 9.  (a) Hosanna.-Christiansen.

Flowers a Great Help.

            “Cut flowers in the home help one to forget their troubles and worries,” states Mrs. J. R. Sowders of the Sowders’ Home Demonstration Club.  Mrs. (J. R.) Sowders always finds time from her many tasks about the rural home to have fresh ones in her home each day.

            “Sometimes I feel blue and discouraged, as we all do at times, but when I notice the flowers and see how beautiful they are, I feel ashamed of myself, and try to make a new start, and succeed much better.”

            “Even though flowers require a great deal of time and work, I feel that I am repaid.”  Some of the flowers that are in Mrs. (J. R.) Sowders yard are: Roses, chrysanthemums, hydrangeas, Easter lilies, larkspurs, petunias, phlox, verbenas and cape jasmines.

Recreation School Helpful.

            Mrs. Raleigh Spencer, a member of the Little Kentucky Home Demonstration Club, who attended a recreation school in Wharton, says that she has been repaid many times in learning how to tell stories to her children, and able to understand their play and able to enter into more games and fun with them.

            A school similar to the one held in Wharton will be held in Edna soon.  Watch for the dates.

Canned Nuts.

            Mesdames C. O. Fenner and Fred Mixon, members of the Cordele Home Demonstration Club, have been preparing for the months of the year that nuts are scarce or rancid.  They have canned 90 No. 1 cans; 2 No. 2 cans and 2 pint jars of pecans this winter.  They canned these in order to have them during the summer and until the nuts season comes around again.  The following method was used: Shell pecans and  place in pint jars or tin cans.  For the jars, screw the lid almost into the rubber or pull down the first clamps.  Place jar in vessel with false bottom and add lukewarm water until water reaches neck of jar.  Boil vigorously for 1 hour.  Remove jar and seal.  Tin cans may be used with or without steam pressure canner.  Place the shelled pecans in cans and set in pan of hot water long enough for the can itself to be thoroughly heated.  Seal and process one hour at boiling or 30 minutes at 5 pounds pressure.

4-H Pantry Canning Budgets.

            Twenty-nine members of the LaWard, Friendship Circle, Sowders and Ganado Home Demonstration Clubs have made out their canning budget for 1932.  Members of other clubs will make their budgets at next meeting.  In making the budget, the first thing considered was the adequate diet for the family; which consists of two vegetables, two fruits, 1 ½ milk, 1 serving butter, 1 serving of whole grain cereal, tomatoes or citrus fruits at least three times per week, two servings of protein per day.  The average canning budget for the family of five for Jackson county consists of 75 containers of green or leafy vegetables (string beans, snap peas, English peas, mustard or turnip greens, spinach, peppers, Kraut.)

            75 containers of other vegetables (carrots, shelled peas and beans, turnips, squash, pumpkin, etc.)

            150 quarts fruit (Canned peaches, berries, grapes, plums, pears, figs, and any other kinds of fruit or fruit juices)

            125 quarts tomatoes,

            50 quarts meat

            52 quarts pickles and relishes.

            52 quarts jellies and preserves,

            120 cans starchy vegetables (Corn and potatoes)
