Aphids Disappear Along With Dirt

As I dig mine, I vut the tops off as close to the corms as I can, “I'have a box made with a wire mesh bottom that I pile them into 80 I can wash them off with the hose. A hard spray not only

takes off the dirt but a lot of in-

Mine go Into the fruit cel lar. Before I store them I dust | them. with § per cent DDT dust to kill thrips.

IT I8 NOT AN ACCIDENT that New Englanders as well as all | other Americans with Yankee blood in their veins regard salt pork As one of the indispensables in cooking Those first settlers had to eat a number of foods previously unknown to them to keep from starving. Because necessity is the mother of invention, they did a lot of experimenting to make the foods at

, hand as tasty as possible.

They soon discovered ‘that salt pork not only made their fish and corn chowders, fried and | baked fish, baked beans, potatoes | and all green vegetables taste better, but made the food more substantial, Today, with meat and shortening prices as they are, salt pork can again play a practical and welcome role in the preparation of many old-time dishes.

Homes Need a Fall Check-Up To Correct Fire Hazards

With the start of the heating season bringing added fire danger, Fire Preyention Week being marked this week, provides householders with an opportunity to give their homes a fall check-up.

Last year more than 400,000 homes were damaged or destro

fire, a majority of them in the fall and winter months, according to the National Board of Fire Underwriters.,

The board issues this advice to cautious householders: Start your fall check-up in the basement, with the furnace and other heating equipment. Furnaces should be cleaned out once a year, and in the case of oil burners, this should be done by an experienced repairman,

Chimneys, flues and smokepipes | should be inspected for cracks and holes which will spread fire. All rubbish accumulated during the summer should be cleared | out of the basement, as well as | from ° attics, closets and other places. Inspect the fuse box. See that

electrical appliances you will use this winter, so they wont .overheat and start fires. If your refrigerator motor isn‘t the “sealedin” type, be sure to oil this, too. Get out your metal screen for the fireplace and set it in place for your first open fire. Inspect your chimney to see that it is clear of all obstructions,

Teen Topics— Mom and Pop Were Young Once Toa

By SALLY THERE'S a proverb that says you can't learn by the experience of others, But maybe the old saw is wrong. Ddesn't it seem silly, kids, to toss ALL the past experi ence of the world out of the window? Some things don't change, you know. Boy-girl complications, for instance. Every teener from the beginning of time has asked him —or herself, “Can this be love?” And the wise world’s answer has always been to go slow and easy, chums. CI a THE OLDER generation can’t be—entirely--wrong.—~They “weren't all drips and creeps in their youth, Even your parents were typical teen-agers, once upon a time. Your current problems were theirs, then. Lucky you, if you can talk these things over with Mom or Pop. Perhaps it will be easier than
