Remember what potatoes used to taste like... hot and steaming from the oven, full of fluffy white meal, and with an earthy flavor that didn’t need the help of butter or sour cream? Well, you can raise your own spuds and recapture that special flavor, and you won’t have to do a lot of backbreaking digging, either. You can grow potatoes in a barrel — placed in any sunny part of your patio, back yard, or apartment balcony — and that container can be filled with sawdust, dirt, nyilch, or rotting leaves. Here’s how it’s done. First, get a barrel, a discarded whiskey keg, or even a metal or plastic trash can. (The larger the container, the more spuds you’ll eventually harvest, so make your selection accordingly.) To '•prepare your growing bin, punch several holes, spaced about six inches apart, in the bottom of the container. The drainage these provide will help keep your crop’s “feet” dry, which is an important consideration. Then spread a layer of large pebbles in the bottom of the barrel, and put about six inches of soil over that. Next, put in a four-inch layer of well-rotted (not fresh) sawdust. You can also add some soil if you’d like. Now, you’re ready to plant. Potatoes, unlike most vegetables, aren’t usually raised from seed . . . they’ve sprouted from the eyes of fully grown tubers that are known as seed potatoes. If you, or someone you know, grew a crop of spuds last year and set some of the beauties aside, you’re ahead of the game, as these can be your source of new potatoes. But if you don’t have this advantage, you’ll need to visit a garden shop, nursery, or farm supply store that sells seed potatoes. Those store-bought spuds that may be hibernating in the pantry won’t do. The commercial tubers have usually been sprayed with an antisprouting chemical, so that even the ones that do put forth new growth will do poorly. Slice your seed potatoes so that each chunk contains two eyes, and let the pieces sit for a day or two while their cut surfaces dry. Next, take the “seeds” and push them down into the layer of planting medium in the barrel — just far enough so they’re covered — and dampen the soil. In only a few days you should find little plants sprouting through. Each time these sprouts grow a couple of inches, dump in enough wellrotted sawdust (possibly mixed with soil) to cover them up, and give the crop a soaking. Since the new potatoes form above their parent eye, you are — in effect — creating room for more downhome delicacies each time you bury the plant. By the time the container is full, you’ll have two or three feet of barrel-grown beauties to harvest. Come September, when it’s time to gather your May-planted crop, you can forget about your

NO SERIOUS INJURIES There were no serious injuries in a two-vehicle accident at SR 15 and Emeline St., Milford, Tuesday morning.

spading fork. Simply tilt the barrel over on its side, give it a shake or two, and pour out the most beautiful spuds you’ve ever seen! And after you’ve taken those tasty potatoes from their nest, you’ll have some fine organic material left over to work into any garden soil. And even if your growing space is limited to the patio outside your living room door, don’t decide it’s impossible to raise other crops. Along with your potatoes, you can produce strawberries, basket tomatoes, parsley, chives, peppers . .. and almost any other edibles you’d like to try. Many garden shops start strawberry plants in hanging baskets, and these will often produce fruit the season you purchase them.

>■ J wT ■ AkiMD CharAe Harm A Gary Easthwd Ml Ai ■ Mark Twain, for all of the humor of his tales, was a clear seer concerning the plight of man in general. "Habit is habit", he said, "and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time. One of the most striking differences between a cot and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives. We should be careful to get out of on experience only the wisdom that is in it and stop there: lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again and that is well". More and more habits ore being changed. Today this is evidently true when it concerns funeral arrangements. There are distinctive and varying preferences for types of service and related procedures. Thus, we at HARRIS FUNERAL HOME. SR 13 and CR 1000 N, are being called upon more frequently to assist in preplanning arrangements. If you hove questions or wish to establish such guidelines, we are available to assist.

grown cherry tomatoes can bring the flavorful taste of these favorites to your summer salads. Furthermore, bell peppers, which should be thinned to one plant per regular-sized flowerpot, will decorate both your patio and your dinner table . . . while parsley, chives, and many other herbs can be propagated easily on a sunny balcony. Don’t forget, however, that container plants will have to be watched carefully so they don’t dry out. Especially in the heat of summer, the crops in your larger barrels or buckets may need as much as a gallon of water per day. Fertilizer will be particularly important to container-grown vegetables, as well. Start with a good, rich planting medium, and fertilize with regular commercial food about once a week. (Slowed growth, general paleness, and <- yellowing of older leaves are sure signs of too little nitrogen.) Those victory gardens that were so popular in the past are ~ still worthwhile. And you’ll find that homegrown food can be raised just about anywhere there’s sun ... so you ’d better get cracking if you want to raise a banquet in a barrel!
