I might as well break down and confess that we did not purposely plant squash seed at the beginning if winter, but merely throw seeds and rinds Into the garden to get rid of them. Nature then took a 'hand and produced a profusion of "no plant, which later were set out) where they had plenty of room to grow. ' It Is supposed to be Impossible to move squashes, but plants with leaves larger than a man's hand were transferred to new locations without even wilting. The Job was done after rains, when, the ground was soaked, leaving a shovelful of earth around the roots of each plant. Some folks, Including myself, live half a century before they learn how ri tn cook and enjoy common Drit,ies of food, like the Hero's how: First, be sure wuir banana squash Is thoroughly ripe. Test It by pushing your thuifib nsll through Its green hide, If you can. If the squash Is well matured i mill find It almost Impossible to do this.

I recalled eating partly cured Petite prunes, which had been left upon the ground In an or chard near Marysville. steaming will restore dried fruit to melting molst- ness. neighbors, processed a quantity of cherries In this manner. That was before the new economic doctrine of scarcity had been preached and peo ple still believed that the way to get ahead was to preserve and save, In stead of wasting and destroying. Our roses are now August 10 blooming profusely for the Becond time this season. Beat that If you can, California. Caroline Testout is the most marvelous rose we have grown or observed In Oregon.
