Do they have a melt- in g 1 y tender crust? Is the filling a delight ful surprise in stead of a dis appointment? Unless you c a n answer a r e s o u n d in g “yes” to each of those three questions, better take a good look at tips given in this column. They’ll help you reach pastry making perfection if you put the hints into practice. Pie is a dessert to have at any luncheon or dinner, whether light or heavy. It might be a rich apple pie, topped with scoops of ice cream if the meal itself has been shy on calories. Pies may be baked or chilled. Their crust may be pastry or crumb. Their fillings may be fruit, berries, juice or eggs or combina tions of these, so you see how much variety pie can give your meals. If you have some especially bright and lovely berries or fruit, don’t hide them under a top crust. Place a lattice crust or crumb top ping or a lacy fluting of whipped cream on the pie, and let everyone enjoy the handsome looks of the pie. • • • ERE’S a foolproof recipe for a single pastry shell. If you want a double crust, make twice the recipe: Pastry Shell (Makes 1 8 or 9-inch) 1 cup sifted flour 54 teaspoon salt 5 tablespoons lard or shortening 2 tablespoons ice cold water Sift together flour and salt Cut in lard with two knives or a pastry blender. (Avoid using fingers, since they’re warm and will melt the fat.) Sprinkle water in, while stir ring with a fork. Press dough into a ball, dhen roll lightly on a pastry cloth or board. Fold over and fit pie plate. Trim edge, fold under and flute. For a b a k e d pastry shell, prick bot tom and sides with a fork. Bake in a hot (450' ) oven 10 to 12 minutes or until g o l d e n brown. If the shell is to be baked with the filling, bake according to directions in recipe. • • • TF PEACHES are on your mind A here’s a peaches and cream pie ‘hat is really delectable: Southern Peach Cream Pie (Makes 1 9-inch pie) 1 unbaked pastry shell 6 peach halves, fresh or canned 54 cup sugar 1 tablespoon flour 54 teaspoon almond extract 54 teaspoon salt 1 cup rich milk 2 egg yolks, beaten 1 tablespoon melted butter 2 egg whites, beaten Arrange peaches, cut side down in pastry shell.

The effect of this insecticide lasts about two days. Toxaphene or chlorinated cam- phene can be used as a dust, as a wettable powder or as an emulsion. The emulsion usually lasts longer. Toxaphene is available in 10 or 20 per cent dusts. It gives good results at the rate of 30 pounds of 10 per cent dust per acre. As an emulsion, it should be used at the rate of one and a half pounds of actual toxa phene against small hoppers or two and a half or three pounds against large hoppers. Toxaphene is effec tive for about 10 days. If the hoppers are confined to the field you want to treat, you can do a good job with benzene hexa- chloride. But if the pests are mov ing into your field from the outside, you’ll be wise to use the longer lasting chlordane or toxaphene.

Here’s WHY Firestone ¿ 'r f l k CHAMPIONS WHEW OTHERS HANG O p, Agricultural Aids ET’S talk facts . . . Here is a tire that has extra har height, d extra bar length, and a curved bar design that outcleans, outpulls, and outlasts any other tire. NO OTHER TIRE has ALL these advantages. I The Goslens, of Winston- Salem, N. C., may not be grad uates of a farm school, but their advice Is followed by hun dreds of thousands of farmers throughout the south. Their 122-year-old Blum almanac is full of bold predictions, safe ad vice, witty sayings, and is the market place for nostrums, household aids, etc. William Goslen and Junius Goslen, Jr., are shown here admiring the almanacs. On the wall is the portrait of Junius W. Goslen, who published Blums before them. Water Soluble Chemical Effective on Quack Grass Quack grass can be killed with a water soluble chemical, according to R. F. Carlson, Michigan state college horticulturist. Tests have proved that quack grass can be controlled through use of a chem ical commonly known as TCA. Quack grass Is one of the great est nuisances on the farm and In the garden, and TCA is the best chemical available now for its con trol, Carlson said. Those massive tread bars take a bigger bite, a better hold— and T H A T ’S NOT ALL. Because they’re curved for self, cleaning, they keep right on pulling while other tires only clog and spin. And here’s another big feature. Every inch of tread-har length does its share of the pulling because the low-pressure body design puts ALL of the tread in FULL ground contact for a FULL TRACTION BITE. Because it’s patented, this tire gives you many advantages which no other tire has.
