Juf Jlytui GkomL&iA. AIIOY! A FREEZE AS FRESH AS AN OCEAN BREEZE (See Recipes Below) WEEK-END SUPPER IDEAS Guests for the week-end? or just the family? Whichever it is you’ll want to take a brief vacation from the kitchen or it won’t really be Labor day for you. Here's how you do it: Bake the nutbread in advance, it’s better if it stands a day or so. Mix the meat and set in the re frigerator until ready to bake. As a vegetable you’ll like tender corn with lots of butter, takes only a few minutes to cook, you know. Your salad is simple and is tossed in a few seconds. Dessert, too, you can make the day before and just wait until you see what a lovely sur prise it is, too. Cool and delicious, the orange freeze is tops. A change in the meat course is the order of the day. A touch of fruit borrowed from a favorite cake and three of your favorite kinds of meat go to make up this: 'Apricot Upside-Down Meat Loaf. (Serves 8 to 10) 1 pound smoked ham (ground twice) % pound beef (ground) % pound fresh pork (ground 2 eggs % cup cold water 1 cup milk 1 cup cornflakes (crushed) 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce % teaspoon pepper % teaspoon dry mustard 1 tablespoon onion (very flnely minced) 4 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons brown sugar 18 dried apricot halves (cooked) Combine smoked ham, beef and pork with slightly beaten eggs, milk, water and cornflakes. Mix thorough ly and add Worcestershire sauce, pepper, mustard, and finely minced onion. Melt butter in bottom of a 9 by 5 by 3 loaf pan. Add brown sugar and heat until well blended. Arrange apricots, cut side up, on the bottom of the pan. Pack the meat mixture over the apricots. Bake in a moderate oven (350 de grees) for 1V« hours. You’ll really approve of this new dessert idea, and since it's light it will be especially appropriate with a substantial main course: •Orange Freese. (Makes 1V£ quarts) % cup sugar 1 cup water 1 package orange-flavored gelatin 1 cup orange juice 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 cups milk Combine sugar and water and boil 2 minutes. Remove from fire and dissolve gelatin in hot syrup. Add fruit juices. Turn into freezing tray of automatic refrigerator, setting to coldest freezing temperature. When partially frozen, turn into cold bowl and beat with rotary beater until thick and fluffy. Add milk and beat until blended. Return to tray, stir every 30 minutes, and freeze until firm (5 to 6 hours). Peach Shortcake. Since peaches are so very good this year, you’ll want to make the most of them. This will win your LYNN SAYS: Vegetables with interesting background and good vitamin stories intrigue me. Take water cress, for instance. You may once have gathered this tender little green among brooks and runs, but its history harks back much longer than either you or I. Watercress is an excellent source of vitamin A which pro motes growth, increases resist ance to infective diseases and prevents eye diseases. Excellent too is watercress in vitamin C which is so essential to good bone and teeth formation. Vitamin B, too, is found in its leaves, and that, you know, stim ulates appetite and protects nerve and brain tissue and brain func tion. Its vitamin G content will help you have normal nutrition. The iron it contains in its copper and magnesium deposits helps make blood and nourish teeth.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.' WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) NEW YORK.—Ever loyal in word and, more importantly in deed, to his liege lord, King-Emperor George VI, as to those who had pre Ruler of Patiala All That Oriental Prince Should Be viously oc cupied the throne of Britain, the maha raj ah of Patiala comes to Singapore with troops from India to look over In dian forces landed at the Malay base some months ago. In the first World war the maha rajah placed his entire fighting force of 30,000 highly trained Sikhs at the British service and after the war, when revolutionary disturbances oc curred in the Punjab, he mobilized his troops who took over the pro tection of railroads running through the Punjab to the northwest frontier. Sir Bhupindar Singh, ruler of Patiala, second largest state in the Punjab section of India and one of the wealthiest of India’s potentates, has often bedazzled London and oth er world capitals with his Oriental splendor. He is six feet tall, broad shouldered, black bearded. He goes turbanned, gloriously enrobed, be spangled with precious jewels. A conservative estimate has placed his annual income at $4, 000,000. He lives up to such a sum, certainly. If a dog strikes his fancy he will pay $1,500 for the animal, provided he can get it no cheaper, and for a pair of flamboyant trousers of spe cial weave he makes no bones about parting with $1,200. Last time he was in London with a hundred retainers, a retinue as magnificent as any glorified pag eant, he took an entire floor of a great Strand hotel. He succeeded his father to the Patialan throne in 1900 when he was a lad of nine. Taking over di rect rule at the age of 19, he im State of Cropt In Hi* Domain Tax Barometer mediate 1 y revealed qualities en dearing him to his sub jects. One of his early acts involved the adjustment of taxes in accord ance with the state of crops. If the harvest was poor taxes were remit ted and his consideration in this respect has been exemplified in many other ways, as for instance in the traveling medical caravans serv ing the sick and diseased and injured of his far flung people. All in all, the maharajah is a prince humane and wise and so rec ognized by his people. He reads philosophy and scientific works to keep his mind on edge and in polo, cricket and hunting he finds his main diversions. A strict Sikh in religion, he is not at all narrow. Once in London he visited a Salvation Army station in the Limehouse district. “My faith,” he said to the Salvationists, “is not yours. But truth is a jewel of many facets.” REAR ADMIRAL Sherwood Ay erst Taffinder, commanding two U.

DAYTON (Agricultmal Agent at Large, Uaasacbusatta State College.) In the spring people talk about weeds as well as about the weather, only they do something about the weeds. But in the fall, weeds are overlooked. They are often accept ed as part of the scenery and noth ing much is done about them. In fact, they are not always even talked about. But the late summer and the fall is really the time to save a lot of future trouble. For that time of year annual weeds are forming thousands of seeds and lay ing the foundations for next year’s abundance. Perennial weeds are busy storing up food in their roots for good, strong growth next spring. The simplest thing to do about these fall weeds is to see that they never ripen seeds. Mow them, or pull them before the seeds are ripe. It is usually best to rake them up and destroy them after they are cut, for weed seeds will ripen after the plant is killed. They put their last resources into preparing for the coming generation. The mowing machine, the scythe, or just a plain knife may be used— all depending upon the size of the job; but don’t forget fence comers and the patches of waste land. These may be more expensive areas than you might suspect if they spread weeds over the rest of the farm, and this is the time of year to cut down their costs. Encourage the weed seeds to sprout in the land to be seeded this fall. Then harrow them up at in tervals before seeding time comes around. Soon all the weed seeds in the surface soil will have sprout ed, and if, when grass and clover are seeded, care is taken not to bring to the surface new soil with additional weed seeds, the crop next year should be exceptionally clean. Fall plowing is often a help in killing perennial weeds such as witch grass and other “tough cus tomers.” If weed roots can be ex posed to the cold and drying of win ter winds, the plants will have a hard time starting in the spring. Harrowing with a spring-tooth har row to bring these roots to the sur face is often a help. Taking care of weeds in the fall will make that spring weeding job much less arduous. In the long run, time spent fighting weeds at this time of year will do more good than it will in the spring. And almost equally important, fall weed con trol makes the whole place neat and attractive and supplies a “Good Farmer” label that no passerby can miss. Can Control Gullies By Eliminating Cause Keeping water out of gullies is a sure way of controlling them, and this can be done by terrac ing, explains R. C. Hay, exten sion agricultural engineer of the University of Illinois college of agriculture. The approaching slack season after harvest is a good time of the year to do ter racing work. Gullies on cultivated slopes can be starved and eventually elimi nated by terracing. The terraces not only slow up and divert run off water from gullies but also materially reduce sheet erosion losses. Farmers’ experiences and experiments conducted under the supervision of farm advisers and the college of agriculture show that terraced fields lose only about one-seventh as much soil by erosion as comparable unter raced fields. R. C. Hay explains that water diverted from fields must be han dled with care or the formation of gullies at the outlets may result. Proper Planning Helps Avoid Pasture Shortage Livestock men who are finding themselves short on pasture in late summer and fall might well lay plans now for better protection against shortages next year. W. H. Peters, chief of the animal husbandry division. University farm. St. Paul, urges rotation grazing of permanent pasture. For alternate grazing Peters ad ] vises fencing off a pasture into two fields and running the stock into one for two weeks and into the other for a like period. This will result in giving less strain on pasture plants. • _ Small Turkeys In experiments to develop small type white turkeys, the U. S. depart ment of agriculture is not trying to displace the larger varieties; it is frying to develop small birds to fit the needs of small families. In vestigators conclude that there is room for the small-type and medium-sized turkey, and that some growers will find it very much to their advantage to specialize in •mall turkeys for sma’l ovens and ■mall families.

Prolific Insects Every season the white ant or termite proudly produces a million baby termites to swell the world’s ant population. Toads and frogs both have large families, the for mer in the neighborhood of 6,000 at a time, and the latter half that number. Snakes are three to four times as prolific as rabbits, for whereas the latter rarely produce more than a dozen baby rabbits at a birth, a snake often produces 40. The king of the jungle, Lord Lion, is usually the proud father of quads, and his hereditary enemy, the tiger, can boast of the same number. Finally, the ele phant, last descendant of the pre historic monsters, rarely has more than one baby elephant at a time.
