Inc., manufac turers of a multiple spindle drill, expects to open a plant In Chenoa In the near future. Present plans call for the employment of more than 100 men In the enterprise. The »company had been looking for a small town location for some time and made Inquiry In Chenoa. Local businessmen under a com mittee of the Rotary club, had al ready been searching for such a deal. The community had building sites for industry available at the north edge of town, convenient to the ra il road tracks. Land Purchased NEW SPANISH CUSTOM . . .

In Madrid to look at hl» strange hobby. A company spokesman, however, reported the company’s operation is with precision tools and too critical to take a chance on that location, since passing trains might cause vibrations disastrous to the work. By this time, though, local busi nessmen were sufficiently interested in the proposal to obtainn another location at the east edge of Chenoa. A tract off five acres was purchased by a group of 61 businessmen and offered to the company, which ac cepted. The land was part of a 33 acre parcel which since has been annexed by Chenoa. Water, sewers, and lights have been carried out and the city is now laying out streets. The addi tion was laid out in building lots and a number of houses are already under construction. Thus the town obtained a new ad dition as well as a factory. The fac tory building is nearly completed and is expected to be in full pro duction within two or three months. New Enthusiasm The new factory and addition have caused a new enthusiasm for boosting the town in other ways. A committee for community progress has been formed. The first m ajor problem the committee may tackle is recreation. Although it doesn’t have any spe cific project under consideration, a committee spokesman said the group feels the best way to get started on a long range program of community development is to take one m ajor problem and start solving it. The company owner and his sons have already purchased homes in Chenoa and w ill close their East Peoria plant when the one at Chenoa is ready for operation. The management also announced the men to be employed w ill be trained on the spot. ning the garden, spading and seeding—is alm ost here. In fact, it has alread y arriv ed for some of the extrem e southern states. But even in som e of the states a little farth er north it is not too early for the hom e g ardener to s ta rt m aking plans and for the home to U-gin his seed displays and getting out garden eq u ip - d n Z .

The U.S. Department of Agricul ture divides the country into five zones and list* the time for the average late frost. The reader will notice the word “average’’—it doesn’t always hold true. Roughly, however, the start of planting time can be placed between January 15 and Feb ruary 15 for the states o f Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, T e x a s , part of California, Mississippi and South Carolina. T h e t i m e ad- vances month—February 15 to March 15—for the states slightly to the north like Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, etc. It all depends, of course, on local conditions, but during these dates there is generally a great deal of planning, garden cleaning. and spading in the states named. Spading is, of course, the biggest job in getting the garden ready for planting. But if you want your gar den plot to be well prepared, spad ing it yourself is a good idea. The secret is to take it easy. Spading is not hard work if done a little at a time. A space 30x50 feet can be spaded in a leisurely way in eight hours. One hour a day for eight days, and the job is done. But first, be sure the soil is In condition to spade. Never work soil which is too wet; and If the soil is heavy don’t wait until it becomes too dry. There is a point between extremes when even heavy clay can eas ily be lifted, and will crumble under a blow from the spade. But getting back to the plan ning, the carefully planned and ex ecuted garden can be a thing of beauty. The beauty of vegetable planting lies in its order, with crops growing in straight parallel rows, squared with plot boundaries and not a weed to be seen. Not only beauty, but efficiency is gained by such a layout. One quick trip with a wheel hoe down the Community Turns Back Clock; Builds M ill Pond NINA WARREN TRIES HULA . . .

GRANTSBURG, Wis. — Through this community’s combined efforts, tho town again has a m ill pond for recreational purposes. The Hickerson Roller M ill dam, used by the community for swim ming, boating and skating, con structed of wood logs, was washed out in 1938. Last year work was started to restore the dam. Ten work crews were organized which Included, ac cording to most estimates. 99 per cent of the men in the village. Each man was asked to work 10 hours, or donate money to hire someone to work 10 hours for him. So many rest dents of the village. Including wom en, contributed their share and more, that the work progresesed with unexpected speed. Crews cleared brush and removed trees so the lake would have a clean bottom. County highway equipment leveled ground and moved d irt for the dik'e and new channel. The dam is 52 feet long and 10 feet, six inches high. It is construct ed of reinforced concrete. A five foot walk was constructed across the top. complete with railings. Steel piling for the dam was driv en in the fall of 1950. The concrete work was started in June of 1951. The next community program is to provide fire places and tables for picnics and dressing rooms for bathers. Electric lights w ill be in stalled in the area. Other work to be completed in the spring includes raising the height of the dike and grading. A village official said completion of the dam and recreational area will fill a long-felt need of the com munity. I t will provide easy access to swimming, skating and other water sports. The lake will be used for skating this winter. tional feed manufacturers and rab bit and cavy breeder associations The week offers feed dealers and hardware stores an opportunity for tie-in in their February advertising schedules. It also suggests a wel come change in the homemaker’s meat diet and a saving in the food budget. Many may recall World War II meat shortage«. It was then that many learned domestic rabbit is a delightful and tasty dish. Since then the American public has kept the domestic rabbit high on its list of favorite meat courses. The housewife may recall that only 8 per cent of a dressed domes tic rabbit is bone, and there is very little other waste. Actually, about 82 per cent of a domestic rabbit is edible. This high per cent makes it an economical meat to serve. The meat is high in calories, an average of 855 per pound. For the housewife who is looking for a change in the menu, here is a recipe for golden brown fried rab bit: 1% 154 54 t 2 1 to 2 lbs. dressed rabbit teaspoons salt teaspoon pepper slightly beaten egg teaspoons water cup fine, dry bread crumbs Wash and wipe the rabbit with a damp cloth. Cut into 6 pieces tor serving. Add salt and pepper to beaten egg. Dip rabbit pieces into egg mixture, then roll in crumbs. Brown in 54 in. hot fat. Then re duce heat, cover and cook slowly 30 minutes longer, or until tender. Serves 3 to 4. Serve on a bed of boiled rice with brown gravy. For brown gravy, drain off all fat remaining in pan except 3 tablespoons. Blend in 3 tablespoons flour, 44 teaspoon salt and % tea spoon pepper. Cook, stirring until brown. Stir in 154 cups of water or rabbit stock. Boil 2 minutes. • * * Valentine's Day Is February 14 For those merchants in the home town who specialize in items for Valentine’s Day, it is time to start advertising.

Rows should be spaced with vary ing distances between them, de pending on two factors: The needs of the crop, and the convenience of cultivation. In rich soil vegetables m ay be spaced more closely than in poor; but when spaced too close together, it is difficult to cultivate between the rows. All this is a part of the planning the home town gardener should undertake during the next few weeks. A great deal of pleasure can be had by those who really like to see things grow. I t ’s fun, too, to sketch your garden plot, planning what you’ll plant row by row and how it will look in late spring. It is a practical idea because you’ll know exactly how much seed and fertilizer you will need and the varieties of vegetables you can grow without crowding. • • • National Rabbit Week Offers New Menu Ideas National Rabbit Week, February 17 to 23, is being promoted by na- • Chances are vou’re Dutting up — unnecessarily—with the functionally caused pains, cramps and weak, “no good” feelings of menstruation i For, in actual tests by doctors, Lydia Pinkham's Compound brought com plete or striking relief from such dis tress in 3 out of 4 of the cases 1 Lydia Pink ham ’* Is m odem in its actionJ So get Lydia E.
