'r MONDAY. JUNE 3. 19(3 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD, OREGON Rural Reflections By Maud ZitgUr Applcgat VtHcy Correspondent Applegate Valley - How could greeni and wild planti be called the disreputable name of "weeds' and still be glorified and sought after? But It happened at a garden club meeting. Ladies had a holiday munching every im aginable weed, even planton and the stinging nettle. They drank healthful liquefried weeds, sipped tea from the back yard peppermint, sampled black mustard, and discovered its power to burn, and teastcd the tender est of pale alfalfa sprouts clinging to their tiny seeds and enhanced with mayonaise. It was not a day of salads. Just a time of tasting and testing the raw basic tangs, the acrid, the stimulating, the near tastcles the piquant. Marie Bosworth was passing on to others her person al experiences in a lifetime of gathering greens plus in formation from books, some published in England. Her favorite books is on edible wild plants of North America, written by Lynden and Fernald. She gave her talk at the last garden meeting of the season at Grace Pearson's home. High In Vitamin Content High on the list was the miner's lettuce that grows in clumps in dry spots and blooms through Its little umbrel las. Mullen, the ladies learned, is high in calcium, and the French people are connoisseurs of chickory, and buy it by the pound at 60 cents, seldom less than two pounds at a time. Ladies tasted the trailing chickweed, teasel, and dock. There was shepherd's purse or pepper grass, and lemon mint, as well as fillaree. The peppermint tea had honey for sweetness and ten der tips of wild blackberry vine for extra flavor. The slinging nettle, a real problem to gather, is tamed as soon as it wilts, and when cooked is quite delicious, end . Its spines contain radium, Mrs. Bosworth assured her lis teners. Although advocating that half of the diet com prised of greenery would be beneficial, she also warned that an over abundance can throw the human system out of balance. Mushrooms were on the list and described as high in iodine content. Young dandelions were not overlooked for their good taste as well as for a pick-me-up liver wise. And the well known pig weed, lamb's quarter, and yellowbell were named as favorites which Mrs. Bos worth picked as a youngster when she lived in Mcdford and rode a burro to Oak Grove district for eggs. Shouldn't Ba Cooked - Most of the wild plants arc much better raw, Mrs. Bosworth said, but if they are cooked it must be for only a moment, and when served with ham, salad oil, or vinegar, they can be a favorite on the menu. Weeds were glorified not only as food, but as having their importance among growing things cs guardians of the soil. Pig weed particularly was noted for its long roots tapping minerals not reached by other plants. With all manner of green things strewn about symbol izing the lusciousncss of spring, it was only fitting that Susie, the cocker-Beagle, should choose garden club day to present her owners with six wiggly spotted puppies. As a final matter of business of the year, the garden club is presenting a 4-H youngster a $25 scholarship to summer school at Corvallis.

E. Packard gave a piano recital recently at the Apple- gate church for parents and friends. Before the recital, Mrs. Packard gave a short talk on the ideology that is being used in the Music Teachers associ ation in the presentation of theory and harmony. "A composition," Mrs. Pack ard noted, "is like a beautiful painting. First we have the outline which is the melody, then we put in harmonizing tones. These tones are related to each other and must har monize to bring out the color ing - as in a beautiful sunset. 'The deeper tones are rich in color and the lighter whis pering shades or pastels you will detect, the delicate tones We produce these tones by what we call 'balloon elbows' or shock absorber effect. The arm takes the weight from the hand which produces light touch. "In filling in our picture we have the landscaping. Here we have the sparkling tones which portray the sparkling brook. For this we use the legato touch. Our perspectives could be our phrasing which are musical sentences express ing thought or an idea. We should play intelligently so that the picture will not be smudged but our tones clear as crystal." Pupils who participated and their selections included Dor othv Hartshorn, "Brahms Lul laby"; Wesley Hill, "Eslrelila' and "To a Charming Scnor- ita"; Susan De Young, "So natina"; Bonnie Johnston, Red Riding Hood and "Song of Hope"; Marilyn Gapen, Waltz of the Flowers' and 'Avalanche."
