1 i i -. s I vf PAG2 EIGHT (Bsflnodlnnu By LILLIE War on the home front must definitely be on by this time If we wish to save our victory gardens for the purpose they Were Intended. In fact, this season we are; forced to open j" a second front. Our second front may not be in a new location. tw.. in fo nur irifffViivfa anr? i more careful applications of the . eld ones. Some of our former ' means of control have gone - to the other - real battle .fronts and w e ha ve .; to - stretch our home - ammunition for all the stretch it has available. There are times we do not feel like going out to do a bit of ene my hunting. It may be that it Is Jtoo warm, or too ebilly or we are too tired or too- Ik something else. But unless we are very busy with even more neces sary war work, we should enjoy bumping ourselves for the little , we can do to help maintain a sufficient food supply. Probably before the present season Is too far advanced, our reasons may ' be more personal than patriotic. The 'food shortages are, we be gin to realize, no mere snyth of Washington politicians. If is no use as one woman wrote to me the other day giv ing vent to her political feelings by saying she wasn't going to help this "crazy mess" by going out and digging in the dirt. Mess Press of wartime civilian duties and the Victory Garden upswing of Interest in planting problems make It necessary for Miss Mad sen to request that hereafter ques tions mailed to her he hrief and abject to answer only tn the daily nd Snnday Statesman garden col umns which she writes. She will endeavor to answer all questions In this way hereafter. or no mess, she can't have any of my carrots when she sits around nursing her hurt feelings come June and July. We are in this war together now and poli tics have no place in the vege table garden or even in the flow er beds. The same earwig-, slugs and cutworms, which do harm to our victory gardens, eat away at our cheer gardens. So if ne doesn't bait te save the vegetables, bait to sare the flowers. Most of as, I hope, will bait to save both. There are still a number of poison baits on the markets. It Is sensible to bait just before you seed and soon after again. If we. wait to bait until our plants show up, we never have any reason to bait at all. We may be wonder ing what keeps the seed so long In the ground, when In reality it came up some fine afternoon while we were resting or otherwise oc cupied, and was eaten off the fol lowing night by garden enemies. Put little heaps of the bait out In the evening. There are kinds which rain does not greatly in jure. If you fear Injury to pets tor birds, cover lightly with crum pled paper. Slugs enjoy the shel ter of a bit of paper anyway and you will be surprised how many you have trapped. I have had some complaint con cerning the troubles of onion growers In the home garden maggots and .thrips. I have had Ho personal experience with either, but Professor A. G. B. Bouquet of Oregon State college admits "it could be" and says that r the maggots can be controlled by - tnixing onion seed one part to two parts of calomel and planting early. Thrips can be controlled by a nicotine dust or spray used from the time the injury first ppears. : By controlling thrips en niona If yoa have thrips hi year onions yoa are also ward- fag off having additional thrips en yoar gladioli. And later by controlling thrips oa your gladi all. yoa are warding off having additional thrips oa yoar late onions. ' As to complaints of pea -growers: Rotenone will effectively con trol both the weavil and the aphids- which are the peas' worst enemies. Ue it as Ion as you can get It and pray for something lust as good later. I am not rnre ust how one is going to garden without rotenone but I guess we tire.:, Rotenone, too, is the best method to use to catch the beetle which enjoys your spinach before you have a chance.

CDitllii endwise By Ethan Grant We spin the prop, adjust our chute, climb into the jcockpit, tike off, climb to 10,000 feet and take a nosedive straight down in to Newell Williams' ancient cook book. The age of this rare relic is unknown but it must have been published before they began dat ing books. And certainly it was compiled, by a primitive! people. Gluttons, they were in those days. Newell, a veteran of the last war, peruses it while waiting and hop ing for his local board to call him to replace a WAAC fo active duty. " j' ' The first 50 pages are de voted to the art of bread mak ing. But nary a word ion the art of slicing same. So well skip lightly over cakemaklng, drink mixing 'cetera and; pause for how to pickle walnu.s, on page 264. Yoa begin the; : art of plckllnr walnuts by gathering the walnuts. Then you 1 abuse them, boil 'em in oil. 'hick 'em to bits, try to dissolve them in acid. I If they survive, then you've got the makings of a pretty good pro duct. They can now stand any thing. So you really begin giving them the old works, winding up the process by boiling them in vinegar. "They will be fit to eat in a month," the book says, "and will keep for years." jj ; On page 288 we find a classic recipe, a masterly sonnet;; on how to concoct potato salad. Musical ly made, with rhyme and rhythm, and ending with the brand of couplet you'd find in Alexander Pope's "Rape of the Lock:" "Serenely fall, the epicure shall say, ; i-i Fate can not harm me-4-I have dined today." Unfortunately, it doesn't follow with even a hint of the! cure for having eaten. i "Written especially for this book, by Poet W. A. CrOtfut," is the 24-line rhyming epicj on how to make clam coup. It smacks of neither Wordsworth, Milton, nor Swinburne, but more like the can tankerous Wuuam Savage Lan der's parody on "Grammarian's Funeral." - j Next our attention is tailed to "Ambushed Asparagus." j The re cipe calls for just about ! every thing in garden, field, i Orchard, cellar land smokehouse, before you get to the asparagus. Then, if you can find it, you ambush and pre pare the asparagus. If you can't, it doesn't really matter. : Horse radish will 'do as well. On corn silks, or horsefeathers.

Theyj somehow knew the author couldn't possibly know everything. And on the; first of the blank pages we find, in faded ink print and script a recipe for "Boston Cream Beer." What naturally would the; origi nal owner of such a book think of, after 416 pages of reading. but somethink to drink? Under "Housekeeping" we find this scholarly Introductory sentence: "Housekeeping, what ever the opinion of the butter flies, ; is an accomplishment in comparison te which in its bear ing op woman's relation to real life and to the family, all others are trivial." -Then follows some 15,000 or so words on the duties of keeping house. You- read with j wide-eyed wonder hew a woman ever lived. And' all this, mind you, is merely on how to keep house. Not a word is mentioned about the kitchen work. You get that be ginning on page 459, in another 20,000; or so words. We d imagine the hoop skirts of those days hid many a housemaid's-knee, and the bustle tightened to relieve many a backach. Next we find though for the life of us we can't see what right it has' in a cookbook "Something About Babies." Which should have j been "All About Babies." Even j diagrams showing how to hold j those those w ell, those three4corneed "things." And as proof; the author was a scatter brain, he follows, illogically, with the subject of "Accidents," and what to do about them. A favorite temporary remedy was the ad ministering of whiskey "unto blissful, intoxication." It was probably such a condi tion which inspired the author to recommend this cake recipe: "Fif ty eggs, 3 pounds sugar, 5 pounds flour,; 5 pounds butter, IS pounds raisins, 3 pounds citron, 10 pounds currants, 1 pint brandy, 4 cloves, 1 dozen cinnamon, 4 ounces mace; 4 nutmegs. This makes i3Vt pounds and keeps 20 years. This cake is unequal ed. We say H's a bnsh ; mdr- statement Even half a cake like that would be tin equaled. Un less l yoa just wanted It as a keepsake.

Salem, Maker of Canes For Presidents, Diplomats, Dies WASHINGTON, March 20 -(P) Frank Jaeger, 79-year-old crafts man who made and repaired walking-sticks for many presidents since Grover Cleveland, was bur ied Saturday. Jaeger, who died Wednesday, was a native of Germany and was an apprentice of a walking-stick maker during his boyhood. He came to Washington in 884 and opened a cane and umbrella shop. Since then he had repaired and made canes for presidents justices, and diplomats. A few years ago he character ized the passing of the cane-carry-ing vogue as an indication that ithe country was "no longer civil bed."

LOUIS, March 20-j!PHFire Chief Joseph W. Morgan, ignoring personal danger to order his men to safety in a spectacular fire was killed Saturday in the collapse of a blazing five-story brick factory building. Nine-flremenwere injured when the building gave way, four of them dropping from the roof to the basement in an avalanche of brick jand debris. None was hurt seriously. Chief Morgan, warned that the walls were swaying, was standing on a Second-floor fire escape, cal ling to his men to abandon the building, when it suddenly caved in. The factory was occupied by the Goodwill Industries an organ ization; which employs about 100 handicapped persons. However, because this was Saturday only three I porkers were in the build ing when the fire broke out in a waste : paper shredding machine. All escaped. Loggers Need More Meat? PORTLAND, Ore., March 20-() City dwellers may get by on two pounds of meat per week but log gers need more L. C. Stoll, chair man , of the local war manpower commission, asserted today. In fan interview in the Oregon ian, Stoll urged that special pro vision be made under the meat ra tioning program for logging camps. "Certainly no woodsman can be expected to do the hard manual labor that is required in bucking and falling on a ration of less than sevei or eight pounds of meat a week. The lumber industry fell short by more than 6,000,000 board feet of wr requirements last year. This food situation, along with many other problems of the lumbering industry, would definitely curtail the lumber production for 1943,' Stolj said. Continuous from 1 P. M.
