YOUR VICTORY GARDEN—

~ Harvesting of Vegetables

‘Should Be Properly Timed

By HENRY L. PREE

Scripps-Howard Staff Writer

Garden _vegetables, to be at their best, must be picked at just the right time. “String beans should be picked when they snap readily and have soft, pliable tips; shell beans must be left until the pods are well filled, but they must not be allowed to dry on the vines or the vines will stop bearing. If these beans are kept picked the vines will bear until the end of the season. Potatoes may be dug as soon as the vines

begin to dry out, although they do keep on growing for some weeks after, and only 4 few should be harvested at iy

often allowed to get too old because it matures very rapidly. It must be eaten before the skin hardens, which means before the bulb gets as big as a tennis ball or it may be eaten when half as lirge. Radishes must also be grown fast and picked early if they are to be good. Swiss chard is ready for the table when the outside leaves are a foot high, but cut lightly at first 50 that the plants will keep on growing properly. When near maturity the outside leaves will have large midribs which can be cut out and used as a substitute for asparagus, the rest of the leaves being boiled like spinach. Beets are grown to maturity for winter use, but they are at i best for the table when young.

Carrots for Soup Young carrots make the best soup. The earlier cabbages are ready when three-quarters headed, but Brussel sprouts are best after a frost. Pick melons when they crack round the stem. In the home

beans should be picked when still green. To determine the exact condition of the pods press them, and if they feel spongy the beans are fully grown and ready for use. If it is hard, the pod still contzins material to be absorbed by the bean. Yellow pods are past their prime.

"PRICES BOOSTED]

FOR MOONSHINE

Increase of “of ict Stills Reported Despite Sugar Shortage.

By 8. BURTON HEATH NEA Staff Writer J WASHINGTON, July 11.—Moonshining—the manufacture .of illjcit “whisky”—has been on the upswing since late last summer. Seizures by federal agents, which give the best available yardstick, have more than doubled. since the alltime low of November, 1842. This upswing should not, however, be over-emphasized. It is important mostly in contrast with the abnormal depression to which sugar rationing, scarcity of essential materials, and high pay in industrial

flourishing industry. Last. March, month for which figures are available, treasury agents seized 554 stills and 237,000 gallons of mash, which looked high by comparison with 355 stills and only 107,000 gallons of mash for November, 1942. - Mash gallons are considered the best index of moonshining activity.

Below Pre-War Level

The consistent but slow rise that began last year has not brought moonshining to anything approach-

moonshiners. For while their product is called “whisky,” and occasionally is disguised with counterfeit labels of some of the old favorite ryes and bourbons, actually most of it is made from sugar or syrup rather than from grain. The quality of the product, in case you haven't risked any of late, is something less than pediculous. It isn't poison—if that gives any cheer. “I'm making it to sell, not to drink,” one moonshiner explained.

Old Scale Revised

The price, even for these times, is scandalous. It bears little relationship to cost of production, but is controlled by the old economic laws of supply and demand. There was a short period when moonshine of better “quality” could be had wholesale for 85 cents a gallon. The retail price in Atlanta used to be 35 cents a half pint. Now the wholesaler or distributor picks up five gallon cans from a “drop” in the woods at from $50 to $72, averaging about $12.50 a gallon from Baltimore to Mobile, The highest retail price is $25 a gallon in Alabama, $1.50 a half pint in dry Baldwin County, Alabama. All of the moonshiner’s costs have risen, of course, and his volume has gone down. The biggest increase in expense is for labor. Helpers who used to accept as little as $1 a day now are getting $10. Nevertheless, the moonshiner is

Auto Radiators Used

have not worked too great hardship on these lawbreakers. Copper has been all but impossible to obtain, but copper is only a refinement anyway. For years it has been used, in many sections cf the South, only for condensers, and a lot of alcohol can be distilled in an old automobile radiator. . The cooking is done largely in old oil drums, sometimes with two or three welded into a single vessel, and in wooden tanks with sheet metal bottoms to face the flames. A single still can and often does serve many moonshiners, on a community basis. The mash is prepared and left to ferment either in a “ground hog”—a tank in which it also is cooked—or in barrels burried in the ground in some out-of-the-way spot. On one Tennessee mountain top I saw 30 such barrels, camouflaged lightly with boughs, fermenting with no guard except an ostensible ‘wood-cutter sitting on a log beside the road perhaps a mile away. ; In the vicinity, a few miles apart, were a number of such installations, worked on a serial basis so that one still could be kept in continual use making the rounds. In Georgia five or six different operators have been found depending upon a single peripatetic community still. Sugar and syrup are used mostly now because they can be made into liquor more quickly than grain mash. So long as sugar remains scarce and under rather strict control, moonshining will not become a major problem. The current rise in activity is attributed to some increase in sugar allotments for industrial use, and as these become more liberal, permitting greater diversion, treasury agents expect to be kept increasingly busy.

There was the one who was riding in a tank when it ran over a Jap anti-tank mine. He suffered no wounds—but a few hours later had to undergo an acute appendectomy.
