1779--- THE THANKS
SWING SPIRIT 1917

Juliana Smith writes to Dear Cou-
sin Betty" of Thanksgiving dinner,
I7Ts:
Everything was good. though We
did have TO do without some things
that ought to be used. Neither love
nor (paper) money could buy raisins.
but our. good red cherries dried with
out the pits. did almost as well.
"Of course We could have no roast
beef. None of US have tasted beef this
three years back. as it all pust go to
the army. and too little they get. poor
fellows. But Naypuittymaw's hunters
were able 10 get us a fine red deer,
so that We had good haunch of
venison on each table"
This was the Thanksgiving spirit in
the midst Of the American Revolution.
The colonies were engaged in the war
that made America safe for democ-
racy. Thanksgiving. 1877. and Amer
ica is engaged in a war TO make the
world safe for. democracy. Juliana
writing in i77s has given the text for
Thanksgiving dinner in 1917. She has
made all the points. the sermon is not
needed Everything was good-ve do
without some things--our own cher
ries-roast beef for the soldiers.
As in 1873. let Us plan our feast of
Thanksgiving for 1917. Let US. a
thankful people. celebrate the harvest
festival with the fruits from our own
fields. The feast is in sense q sacri-
fetal offering. so we will do without
many things because they are needed
by our soldiers. But. as of old.
whether the food be plain or rich. let
everything be good

cause It takes some time to get the
particular kind you select from the
maker.

Sugar Beet Syrup

The production of sugar beet syrup
for home consumption would prove OF
much value 10 this community along
the lines of food conservation as well
as s<scononny in the home. Every fam
lily in this vicinity can easily grow
sufficient beets to supply their own
table on the vacant lots and garden
tracts. This syrup is not only good
for table use. but may be used in
candies land in many instances an
swer the same purpose as sugar.
One pound of beet seed will plant
about one-tenth of an acre and II
would only require a few ounces to
grow sufficient amount for one fam
lily. These beets are good for table
use as well as for syrup. so there
would be no waste il they were not
all used for the one purpose.
The growing of the sugar beet is
handled very much the same rs the
ordinary table beet. They should be
planted when the ground has become
warm in the spring in deep.rich soil.
in rows about twenty inches apart.
and covered about one inch. After
they have good start they should
be thinned out so as to be from eight
to ten inches apart and cultivated
while the ground Is not too wet. They
do not require a great deal of irriga-
ton. Usually about three times dur
ing the season. but should not be al
lowed to droop too much. The ditch
should not be too close to the seed
and seeds should not be flooded. hut
the water allowed to run slowly and
thoroly soak into the ground, Four to
six months are required to grow and
properly mature and they are ready
for harvest when yellow tinse appears
on the tops.
They ahould be topped close and
may be stored in cool cellArs. but
preferably buried In the garden.
