' Christmas is just around that fa mous "corner" and with it comes candy making time. All people possess the proverbial "sweet tooth" for such delicacies. For younger children to make there is Turkish Delight. It contains fruit juices and a minimum amount of sugar per piece of ; candy. Here's how it i3 made: 3 T Gelatin ',2 cup cold water 2 cups cugar orange rind (grated) Preview of 1937 Beach Styles V - 4 V2 cup hot water 4 T. orange juice 2 T. lemon juice Soften the gelatin in cold water. Kring the sugar and hot water to the boiling point. Then add the gela- 1 tin and boil 20 minutes w ithout stir ring. Add fruit juices and rind. Pour syrup in wet mould. When the candy is cool, cut it in squares. Then roll in ' powered sugar. Circular 991 Christmas Sweets contains many other recipes and sug gestions for home made delicacies, and may be had at the Farm Eureau of! ice. Seed Scarifies Better With Mixer Horizontal. When farm-type concrete mixers are used to scarify hard-shell seed, such as sweet clover, crotalaria, and les pedesa, to improve germination, be3t results are obtained if they are oper ated with the axis of rotation more nearly horizontal than is customary; in mixing concrete, the United States Bureau of Agricultural . Engineering advises. With the mixer in such posi tion, seed and gravel fall a greater distance when picked up by the mix ing blades and the scarifying action is more rapid than when the mixer is set at a steeper angle. Best results probably will be ob tained with the volume of gravel one to two times that of seed, and with the mixer not more than half full. Gravel that will pass a i-inch but be retained on a V -inch mesh screen will give good results. The larger the gravel particles the more rapid is the scarifying, but if much larger than one-half inch they are likely to crush the seed. Square Farming in Hound Country a Bad Practice, Square farming in round country a custom handed down from father to son in the eastern corn belt, as well as in other parts of the country, and a direct aid to erosion is passing cut of the picture, say Soil Conser vation service woi Kei o. orruare iui ins i in round country result from section lines which run straight up and down hill, not on the contour. Square or rectangular fields were easier to farm and to fence. They did away with point rows; they mrde it possible for the farmer who took pride in his work to plow the straight furrows and till the straight rows that neighbors praised. The ctraight-row farmer might admit that! "more corn could be grown in a ! crooked row than in a straight row," but often he missed the poiat that goes along with the joke, that the crooked row, the row on the con tour, also saved his soil by making water creep away. He failed to see that the straight up and down hill furrow collected and gave force to dashing water that gaahed his farm into gullies. Farmers who have tried strip crop ping and contour farming, "crooked farming" as many have called it, are surprised to find it easier than square farming, once they are accustomed to the change. . They have found it easier to farm on the level and go around the hill rather than be end lessly climbing up and down. A number of men report they can cover a third more ground in a day, their horses are in better shape and, best of all, erosion is retarded.

S.I VENEHABLE TREE HAS LIVED 15 C00 YEARS;" is a Christmas flower only because jit does so well indoors during this Scieace is trying to save the life! month; really, it is a year around of the oldest living thing, a giant ' flower, with few contenders for the palm tree on Tambourine mountain honor of being so hardy, and free in Queensland, Australia, estimated! flowering. Its blooms will last to be 15 thousand yeatj old. This venerable tree was felled by a vandal a::d although its condition was not discovered until three mouths later, Dr. A. D. Herbert of the University of Queensland thinks the palm has a chance to survive. ' Great-grandfather Peter was the name by which the tree was known. It was stiil alive when Dr. Herbert, a botanist, and two hundred volun teer workers set about to replant the fallen giant. A great hole was dug and the trunk was replaced in the soil. Sago-starch within its fibers prob ably will keep the wounded tree alive for several years, Dr. Herbert said. I He thiuks it may last 10 to 12 years even if.it fails to" take root and grow again. If scientists rightly guess his age, Great-grandfather Peter was about 11 thousand years old when Nimrod built Babylon. The redwoods oft California are mere infants compared with Great - grandfather Peter.
