Garden|IFruit
Must Be Used
Right Moment

10 be enjoyed TO the fulleSC, gar
den vegetables must be used at the
proper stage of their development.
Too many of us know the disappoint-
ment felt upon biting into an attrac-
tive but hard and over-ripe ear Of
sweet corn.
Vegetables are satisfactory over a
fairly long period of their develop
ment, but the wise gardener uses
them at the fright time", not only to
enjoy better taste and texture, but al
SO to obtain greater food value.
Following are some tips on the
"just right" time by Walter Fl. Nixon,
vegetable expert of the Ferry-Morse
Seed Breeding Station.
Pick peas when the pods are plump
before they lose their shine or gloss.
Use them promptly.
Sweet corn is best in the milk"
stage, when the kernels are easily
punctured with the thumb nail and
release a milky fluid. Corn should be
used promptly on picking for, like
peas, it's sugar content changes on
standing. Sweet corn to be canned
may be preferred somewhat more ma
ture-when kernels have reached the
dough" stage.
Cantaloupe allowed to ripen on the
vine until the stem slips easily from
the fruit will possess maximum flavor
and texture.
Summer squash are most desirable
soon after the blossoms have dropped
from the fruit.
Winter squash are satisfactory as
soon as they have developed a ripe
color, although they will improve in
flavor, texture and keeping quality if
allowed to ripen completely on the
vine.
Root crops like beets, carrots and
turnips are most tender and flavorful
when hardly more than half matured.
The same thing is true Of kohlrabi.
Leafy vegetables have a milder and
more agreeable flavor if used when
small and in full growth. This is par
ticularly true Of greens such as tur-
nip, axle and collards which will be en-
joyed much more if only the tender
young center leaves are eaten.
There are two other classes of vege-
tables-those which may be used at
almost any time, according to the
preference of the gardener, and those
which Must be used with regularity
in order to promote continued produce
ton.
In the first division are stringless
beans. They may be used when only
partly grown, as tender, shoe-string
beans; later as meatier, bigger green
beans; or still later, as dried shell
beans.
Peppers are often used at differ
ent stages, too, principally because of
their changing colors. Many of the
popular green varieties change to red
when left on the vine few extra
weeks. Their flavor and texture will
change little in this time.
In the second group are cucumbers.
They may be used when small, for
picking, or when larger for slicing
and salads; but if ripe fruits are al
lowed to remain on the vine they
will discourage further fruit setting.
Summer squash may be included in
this group.

A code was then outlined and the fol-

That the laws relating to the per-

Sentation of the play Might of January

will be refunded their admission.
They viii be called upon to render a
verdict Of guilty or not guilty for a
young and beautiful girl on trial for

Ely Rod & Gun Club
Suggests Changes in
Game and Fish Laus
Recommendations of Local
Club to be Presented to
State Department.

Fernberg Hunting, Winter
Fishing, Rice Planting,
Discussed by Club.

One Of the best attended meetings
for some time was that Of the Ely Rod
& Gun Club held Friday in Room 2Ie
Of the Community Center presided over
by President Louis Champa. Joseph
Klobuchar, the secretary, was up from
Virginia for the evening and filled his
important position.
Many matters of importance to the
Sportsmen Of this section were discussed.
The principal matters were the open
ing Of narrow strip TO the townships
opened for hunting in 1887 on the Fern
berg road; the wild rice situation IN
the Stoney country; winter fishing and
fishing licenses.
A recommendation was drafted to be
submitted TO the state game and fish
department 10 extend the open line
for hunting to the Fernberg road in
stead of stopping at the township line
Of the townships opened which left a
narrow wedge-shaped strip between the
township boundary and the road IN the
closed area. This piece was asked
opened for the convenience of hunters
who otherwise might be caught I'M
aware in closed territory.
It was also advocated TO close the
wild rice picking privileges in the
Stoney river district for commercial
purposes. II was found that during
the rice harvest last year, pickers from
down in Wisconsin and southern Min
nesota were in the territory to harvest
rice for sale purposes. II was the
opinion Of the majority Of those pre-
sent that this crop should only be har-
vested for seed purposes. These rice
beds were planted several years ago
by the Ely Commercial club.
The club went on record In favor of
winter fishing. It was pointed out that
many Of our people by nature of their
work during the open season could not
avail themselves Of the opportunity to
go fishing but could secure some re-
creation by fishing in winter.
A committee was named TO confer
with the conservation department for
the purpose Of securing black grouse
for planting in this section. It was
shown that these birds thrive in the
European climates similar to ours, feed
ing on birch buds and burrowing them
selves IN the snow during the winter.
The club again went on record for
reduction IN the nonresident fishing
licenses from 81 to So with a charge of
$3.50 per family. II was understood
that this was one Of the recommended
tons made by the conservation COM
mission and would be embodied IN
bill to be submitted TO the legislature.
Room 2lS was crowded long before
the hour set for the meeting and extra
chairs were provided for the overflow.
A most eppetizing lunch was served by
committee in charge Of this feature.
