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.

Mail Tribune Correspondent
Applegate - Pupils of Mrs.
E. 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."
Trio Performs
A trio composed of Marilyn
Gapen, Darlcne Anderson and
Susan De Young presented
"Dance of the Elves" and
This Old Clock." Deborah
Hunter played "March of the
Gnomes," "It Took a Miracle"
and "Moths": John Hill. "Hun
garian Rhapsody N, II," and
Darlcne Anderson,
the Clover."
Guest artists who presented
numbers during the program
were Mrs. Norval Moore, Mrs.
Ashton Focrst, John De Young
and Mrs. E. E. Packard, who
played the organ.
Refreshments were served
by Mrs. T. S. Gapen, Mrs.
Lester Hill. Mrs. A. D. John
ston and Mrs. Ashton Foerst.
