Quick Tricks for Picnics
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
The Fourth of July is coming
up and maybe you’re going to
have a picnic. It’s a good safe
and sane way to entertain the
youngsters, that is, if you don’t
have an accident on the high
way. For that matter, you can
picnic in ycur own back yard.
Here’s a way to make quick
baked beans, and if you bake
them in brown crockery with
a lid, or in a bean pot or a glass
casserole with a lid and wrap
them in many layers of newspa
per, you can keep them hot for
noorr consumption.
Use one large can pork and
beans and add about Ya cup
white sugar or 1/3 cup brown
sugar (or you can use molasses
or, maple syrup). Add Ya cup to
mato catsup and two or three
slices of bacon.
Stir well and bake in a greas
ed casserole for about an hour at
375 F.
To save dishes and make it
more fun for the kids, buy a
batch of ice cream cones. Most
grocery stores sell them. Serve
the ice cream to everyone in
these. Tastes so good.
If you like some different tast
ing stuffed eggs, hard boil them
as usual, split the eggs and nee
the yolks. Then add salad type
sandwich filling, a bit more
sugar and a touch of vinegar.
Refill the egg halves and
sprinkle with paprika.
Potato chips are good for pic
nics. They won’t spoil from the
neat, are easily served and can
be eaten from the fingers. Potato
straws can be bought canned
and be served in the same way.

Dear Blanche:
Yesterday when the mail
came, I was very pleasantly re
minded that I had forgotten to
send you the pickle recipe I had
promised when I last wrote to
you. A lady from O’Neill wrote
and asked me to send her the
recipe Of course, I did.
' SWEET PICKLES
Wash two gallons small cu
cumbers and place in a stone jar.
Make a brine of salt and water
strong enough to float an egg
and cover cucumbers, weighting
them down to keep them in the
brine. Soak in brine for seven
days.
Remove cucumbers and split
each one lengthwise. Soak in
cold water 24 hours, changing
the water four or five times.
Then add two tablespoons pow
dered alum to enough cold water
to cover cucumbers and soak in
this solution for 24 hours. Next
simmer the pickles for 30 min
utes in a solution of three ta
blespoons powdered sugar and
enough water to cover. Rinse
well and drain thoroughly, then
place pickles back in stone jar.
Scald each morning for five
mornings with the following
syrup — seven cups sugar, one
quart vinegar, two tablespoons
mixed pickling spice (tied in a
rloth bag).
You may add green food col
oring. I prefer to use three cups
sugar in the original syrup, add
ing one cup each successive
morning until seven are used.
On the fifth day the pickles are
ready to eat or can.
I have been busy picking ber
ries the past two weeks. We set
out a patch of black raspberries
last year and they did very well,
I think, as I have picked 48
quarts of berries. They are de
licious fresh with cream and
sugar and I’ve made a number
of pints of jam that will help
solve the school lunch problem
tjjjs fall and winter.
Have you ever picked. dew
berries? They are producing
abundantly this year, too. I say
cne earns those things when
they pick them — they are so
scratchy and thorny, even the
leaves are covered with little
stickers. I have canned 20 quarts
of them and so far as I’m con
cerned they can quit bearing for
this year.
I surely missed “The Frontier
Woman” column when I failed
to find it in one or two issues re
cently. I always turn first to
>our column to read the recipes
and helps and see if I know the
writer of the letter used. They
are always interesting, such a
variety of thought and ideas—-it
seems I always find a special
help or idea each week or a new

MRS. CLAUDE PICKERING
SAYS SANDHILL SAL
Try to be as enthusiastic about
the success of others as you are
about your own. It isn’t always
easy, but it gets »sier if you
keep trying!
Think only the best, work for
the best and expect the best.
You might get it.
Work on improving yourself
and you won’t have so much
time to criticize the efforts of
others.
Fertilized Grass
to Be Studied
On Friday, July 2, at 9 a.m., a
group of Holt county farmers,
ranchers, businessmen and per
sonnel! from the University of
Nebraska college of agriculture
will leave the courthouse in O’
Neill to see first-hand what so
many people are interested in.
They will study what can be
done to make native grassland
produce more hay and beef per
acre.
Three years of experimental
work in this county will be
viewed and discussed. The in
creased results of clover and
grass are “almost unbelievable,”
according to County Agent A.
Neil Dawes. In 1953, one high
yielding plot yielded 3.45 tons of
hay per acre while the untreated
area yielded 126 tons per acre.
The total cost was approximately
$17.
The following places will be
visited:
No 1 stop: Harvey Tompkins
farm, one-half mile east and 4 ^
south, near windmill, from In
man. Time of application study.
No. 2 stop: David Anson
ranch, 3% miles northwest of
Ewing on north side of highway
275. New application.
No. 3 stop: Henry Wood place,
on Ewing road to Chambers, one
mile west of Lone Tree school or
four miles east of highway 231.
Residual effect of phosphorous
and effect of phosphorous on
clover.
N. 4 stop: Frank Peter ranch,
miles south of O’Nelil on
highway 281. Re - application
study and grassland drill re
search.
No. 5 stop: Dinner in O’Neill.
No. 6 stop: Leave O’Neill at
courthouse at 1:15 p.m., and go
to Clarence Ernst ranch, 3^
miles west, then turn left one
half mile from O’Neill cemetery, i
Time and rate application.
No. 7 stop: Claussen brothers
place, Yt mile east and two
miles north of Emmet. Upland
hay meadow study.
No. 8 stop: Lawrence Pacha
ranch, turn one mile east of At
kinson, go six miles south and
seven west. This is a residual
and new application study.
No. 9 stop: Ernst Gotschall
ranch, located one - half mile
west and eight south of Pacha
plots. This is a new application
rate study and one and two
year residual study.
Merle Brouse, in charge of the
grassland research program, will
discuss the work and answer
questions. Dr. Marvel Baker, as
sociate director, and Perry
Branch of the University of Ne
braska foundation, will be pres
ent.
