, o The Frontier Woman . . , Every Other Person Has Had ’Flu; Polio Season Soon Will Be Here o By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Spring is in the air. It won’t be long before the daffodils and tulips will push their green noses up through the soil. HaVe you Made out your order for garden seeds and flowers yet? Many of our readers have no o yards, or perhaps I should say fenced yards. But most of us have a small garden plot or a place where a few annual flow ers could be raised, if folks only bad the incentive. Nothing gives such a big re turn for the cash expended as an nuals — in color, pleasure and beauty—with less work expend ed. If you’re a rank amateur you can still have good luck with some of the more easily raised . .. lull 111 r M T.t— annual flowers. Almost everyone, including children, can raise petunias, cos mos, marigolds and zinnias and such easily raised flowers. Nas turitiums are also easy to raise and will do well in very poor soil. If there is no place in the yard for a few annuals, or the yard is not fenced, why not one row of flowers in the vegetable garden? You won’t be sorry. When it comes to bulbs, noth ing gives a bigger return or is easier to grow successfully than glads. Try a few this year and you’ll get all kinds of pleasure for the minimum of money and labor expended. __ Children usually love flowers. The seeds of cosmos are fairly large and so are some of the marigolds. Let the little folk raise some of these, planting them for themselves. Or buy a few plants, perhaps pansies from the greenhouse—for your young sters and yourself to enjoy. —tfw— Lynch Tanner's Wife' Wins Subscription— Dear Blanche: I’ve intended to write but with the flu, our family has kept busy. I think every other person one meets has had the flu. Surely has been a siege. Isn’t it odd how the cycle keeps going? In the winter, we keep hoping for spring so we’ll all get rid of our colds and feel better. Then it’s measles, chickenpox or mumps we dodge until hot weather, then it’s the dreaded polio we fear until the cold weather comes and seems to clear the air of that. It just proves that we. should always be on guard and ever faithful to our Creator. I think He must have given his blessing to all the mothers and donors to the polio fund as they made their porch light crusade. We live in the country, but even that shouldn’t keep us from donating what ever we can. Since New Year’s, I’ve tried to make a new recipe each week, whether it’s a dessert, a casserole dish, or a new way to fix potatoes. One idea we liked was to braise ribs to a nice brown, then pour a can of vegetable beef soup over them, cover and simmer over low heat until they are done. Cooked macaroni is pepped up by adding left over kernel corn and heating just before serv ing. Did anyone ever mix yel low string beans to peas for a tasty and colorful dish? I must close now as it’s bed time once again. I won’t sign my name this time but will give a quotation I like, “I cried because I had no shoes, until I saw a man who had no feet. ’ A FARMER’S WIFE — tfw — Recipe of the Week— CUSTARD BREAD PUDDING Two cups soft bread crumbs, 4 cups milk (scalded), 2 eggs, 2 egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar, salt, vanilla, 1/4 cup butter (melted), 1/4 cup strawberry jam.
