Most homemakers are still
putting up tomatoes, maybe mak
ing some preserves or even can
ning some peaches. How glad
we’ll all be when we can put the
canning season behind us, get the
fall housecleaning done and set
tle down to a not quite so frantic
household routine!
Would you like to make up a
batch of pear honey for winter

ange, 1% pounds sugar.

Thermometer Breaks
During July Heat —
Mrs. S. E. Timmermans of Stu
art wins our prize three-months’
subscription:
Dear Blanche:
I’m going to mend my ways.
If it’s hotter any place else than
Nebraska in July, then I don’t
want to go there.
Our thermometer got up to 104
F. and then broke, so I don’t
know how hot it was. The Good
Book says we have to earn our
bread by the sweat of our brow
and the only trouble is when
we’ve earned it, then it’s too hot
to eat it.
If I had my way I’d change the
system of things a little. On the
hottest day of the year, there is
bread to be baked, fruit to be
canned, gardening and chores.
Wouldn’t it be nice if some of
that baking and canning could be
done on one of our real Nebraska
winter days?
I’m not griping though—I’m
really glad to have fruit and gar
den produce to can. Last year
the fruit trees froze and then in
August we were hailed out. We
had hail the size of golf balls
and that was the end of the gar
den and the corn was very poor.
We had a few strawberries and
the choke cherries and mulberries
were plentiful. Our cherry tree
even had a few cherries.
We planted some young apple
trees four years ago and this
year they had some apples. We
are anxiously waiting to see what
kind they are going to be. We
can never wait for fried chick
en, tomato and roasting ear sea
son to get here. Of course, we’ve
had them all now.
Your garden must really be a
lot earlier than ours. On the day
you asked in print “sick and tired
of string beans?” we had our
first good mess of them. I can
ned 54 jars, some quarts, some
pints and some “in-between size”
jars. Then the vines just dried up
and cooked in the hot weather.
We really enjoyed the cool days
and showers (although we did
n’t get much rain) that we had
for a while in August.
And now we have school “daze”
and I do mean daze. How quick
ly that time rolls around again.
Girls seem to be so much harder
to outfit than boys. Slips, bobby
socks, shoes, blouses and, of
course, new permanents. Boys
need only new jeans, a few col
orful shirts and changes in under
wear.
I think it’s so nice to see
youngsters in bright colors and
it’s a safety idea, too. Bright col
ors are so much easier to see.
And I do hope with school start
ing everyone will drive more
carefully.

Wins Subscription—
Dear Blanche:
Will write a few lines for your
column today. I presume this is a
little late for the canning season
but when canning harvest apples,
bake them and while very hot
put into sterilized jars and seal.
These apples seem to contain so
much air when boiling. Other
apples keep nicely this way, too.
When canning tomato pre
serves, add a cup or two of
crushed pineapple. This gives a
much better flavor. Some like
more pineapple in the preserves.
We have not had frost yet but
I have all my vegetables in the
cellar, most of them canned. I
have 23 quarts carrots canned,
also beets, rhubarb, tomatoes,
chicken, plums, pears, apples and
pickles.
The cotton plants will bet aken
to school, as will the rice and
pineapple plants. The children
take turns caring for them. In
the spring we plant field grains
in cans to observe.
This year I had nearly 100
glad bulbs and they did wonder
fully well. The large dahlias
were quite late but were nice,
too. Of the 37 shrubs, only one
failed to grow. Most of 'them
bloomed this year.
