Bessarabia Long Buffer
For International Politics

Bessarabia has long figured in in
ternational jockeying as buffer and
corridor. Across its broad open
spaces swept one migration after an
other-'big name" tribes such as
Goths, Huns, Mongols; and less pub
licized wayfarers such as the Bessi
who gave the region it's name. Ro-
mans made the land an outpost Of
empire, conquerors came and went.
Conquest eclipsed colonization until
modern times.
First widely settled under Tsarist
rule, Bessarabia is now peopled with
Rumanians, Ukrainians, Bulgarians,
Germans, Poles, Greeks, Turks, Ar
menians and Jews. Population to-
tails about 100000.
In the 10Th century Bessarabia
was tossed back and forth between
Crimean Tatars and Turks, later
caused Turkish and Russian rulers
to quarrel. Held by Russia for more
than a century, Bessarabia was
shifted to Rumania in the World
war adjustments in 1918. Soviet
Russia never acknowledged validity
of the transfer, occupied the country
in 1910, lost it in 1941 when Ger
mans teams with Rumanians in
invasion.
Bessarabia is about as big as New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, COM
bined, resembles the topography Of
the American Middle West, has fer
tile soil, is country of farmers.
Nine-tenths of its land was used for
growing wheat, barley, oats and In
dian corn. Soybeans, sugar beets,
potatoes, tobacco, and fruits were
raised in quantities, filled the home
larder, made up the domestic stock
in trade. Bessarabian oats and bar
ley were major exports to Germany,
its best customer.

War Bonds as Investment for Farmers
by Warren W. Hawley, Jr., President
New York State Farm Bureau Federation

TN CHECKING figures of the
L Farm Credit Administration, I
find that farmers are paying off
mortgages faster than at any 9TH
er period in the history of the Fed
eral Land Bank.
At the same time, farmers are
building up cash reserves, but the
wise investment of this money is
an extremely hard job for farm
er5 to undertake. The temptation
is to try and obtain as high an
interest rate as possible.
Many of us see no reason why
we should not get as much inter-
est on our money now as we had
to pay the bank when we were
forced to borrow during the de-
preston.
The answer is that today money
is cheap" expanded, as the
bankers express it. Therefore in
terest rates are low except in
very speculative securities. Nat
urally no farmer wants to risk
losing his hard earned cash.
We farmers know our own busi-
ness and we can invest money in
it safely because we understand
it. However, when we branch off

into other fields, especially the
highly technical field of invest
ments, most of us encounter sad
experiences.
In these days it is virtually i'm
possible for farmers to put their
surplus cash back into the farm.
Wartime conditions prevent us
from repairing buildings, and buy
ing new machinery, automobiles,
trucks and other equipment we
must eventually have if we are
going to stay in business.
So the smart thing for
farmers to do is to invest their
surplus money in War Bonds
where it is as safe as a dollar
bill. These bonds increase in
value the longer they are held;
they can be cashed after sixty
days in case of need, and they
will provide a reserve for in
vestment after the war in the
business the farmers know
beSt-the business of farming.
I confidently predict that if
farmers will do this, the dawn of
peace will signalize new day for
agriculture.

peach. Peel the halves by scald-
ing, by the lye method, or by pairing
with knife. If preferred, the peach
may he peeled and then halved by
cutting around the stone with knife.
The easiest way to remove the flesh
from the stone is to cut it in wedge
shaped slices.
Miss Kimbrough recommends hot
packing and processing in a hot
water bath Gamer. Here are her
two favorite recipes: (Use the long
er cooking and processing time for
clings and other very fine peaches)
Method I. Make a sirup of / or 2
parts sugar to of water, depending
upon the amount liked and the
amount available Add peaches, a
few at a time, and simmer until
hot through a to 10 minutes). Pack
into hot jars, layers overlapping,
cavity side down. Cover with sirup
in which peaches we're cooked. Proc
ess (cook in jar) 10 to 20 minutes in
hot-water bath. Can leftover sirup
for pudding or ice cream sauce.
Method II. Add from l to 1B cup
sugar and one cup boiling water to
one gallon prepared peaches. Cook
gently until peaches are hot through
and sugar dissolved Go to 20 min
utes). Pack and process as instruct
ed above. If there isn't enough liq-
uid to cover peaches in jar, add boil
ing water after they are packed.
If one is short of sugar, a sirup
may be made by boiling two cups
white corn sirup, two cups sugar,
one cup water, and one-eighth tea
spoon salt together five minutes.
Honey may be used instead of sugar
but it changes the flavor, and some
times the color, of the fruit. From
three-quarters to one cup sirup is
usually needed for one quart Of
peaches. The fruit should be well
covered with liquid. (If one runs out
of sugar, peaches may be canned
with plain boiling water. They keep
just as well that way but do not
have as good fiavor.)
Once fine fruit is selected, care
fully prepared and processed right,
canning success is assured if jars
and caps are used according to the
manufacturers instructions. These
instructions will be found on printed
leaflets packed in every carton.

Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service
Director for Ball Brothers Compa-
ny, advises those who can peaches
for the first time, and those whose
canned peaches are below par, to
select tree-ripened fruit, when pos
sible, and sort 1t for size, color, and
condition before washing and peel
ing it.
Skins may be stripped from some
well-ripened peaches after they have
been scalded in boiling water about
a minute and then dipped in cold
water, but the general run of them
require other methods of peeling.
The lye method, while practical
when a large quantity is to be
canned, requires skill. To lye peel,
put four tablespoons concentrated
lye in an enamel or granite kettle.
Add two gallons water and heat to
boiling. Put peaches in basket
and hold in the boiling lye from
thirty to sixty seconds; then wash
Immediately in cold water. Rinse
through several waters to remove all
skins and all traces of lye. The
fruit will darken if left in lye too
long or if not well rinsed.
Usually, pairing with knife is the
most practical way Of peeling. The
peaches should be washed clean and
drained before peeling. After peel
ing, the fruit should be cut in half,
and the stones discarded. Freestone
fruit has better flavor and nicer,
cleaner appearance if the red fibers
are cut or scraped from the cavi-
ties.
Dropping the peeled peaches into
weak salt-vinegar water Zone table,
spoon each to one gallon of water)
helps prevent discoloring. They
should not be left in the water long
er than thirty or forty minutes and
must be well rinsed before canning.
Clingstone peaches are prepared
for canning by removing the skins
by one of the methods described
above. Clings may be halved (be-
fore peeling) by cutting around the
peach with a sharp knife, begin
ming at the stem end and follow
ing the crease. After cutting, hold
the peach with both hands and twist
in opposite directions. This pulls
one side away from the stone. Use
a regular peach pitting spoon, a
teaspoon, or a knife to remove the
stone from the other half of the

TEEN AGERS ASSISTED WITH
DETASSELING HYBRID CORN


Some folks may have thought
that during summer vacations the
teen age youngster was nuisance
to be enduredl-that Is, before the
war-but it's safe bet that the old
sters have changer their minds dur
ing these war years.
But for a lot of youngsters who
were willing to work hard during
precious vacation days, the hybrid
corn which Southern States Coopera-
tive is raising on the Eastern Shore
of Maryland for its $4,000 members
in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia.
and West Virginia would probably
not be in the making. Hybrid corn
is something quite special in the corn
family and requiers special, pains
taking care. Among the chores to be
performed during the process of
raising this grain is detasseling many
of the stalks. If proper job of detas-
selling is not done, the cross-pollina-
tions cannot be carried out according
to plan
This summer, the available adult
labor, both American and from the
Bahama Islands, was inadequate for
the job of detasseling Southern
States corn, SO additional help had
to come from somewhere. This "some
where" was labor camps located at
colchester, Sudlersville, and Centre
Vile, Md, which, in the in the peak
Of hn dDfo fnfnic h q
48 city boys recruited from WASH
ington, Baltimore, Hagerstown, and
Cumberland. They ranged in age
from IA to 16 years. The camps are
all located within a reasonable dis
tance from the hybrid corn projects,
and the boys were transported to and
from work in school buses and trucks
and usually spent approximately 8
hours day in the fields. The children
did most of their work while stand
ing on machines that moved them
up and down the rows as they
worked.
Corn lots are located on farms near
Chestertown, Denton, Preston, Rid
gely, Greensboro, Sudlersville, Cen
treville, Cambridge, Westminster,
Middletown, Frederick, Thurmont,
Woodbine, Ellicott City, and Clarkes-
Vile, Md, and Mount Jackson and
Quicksburg, Va.
Because it was possible to COM
plete these growing projects, it is ex-
pected that 10000 bushels of seed
corn will be harvested for planting
next spring, Ira S. Willis, hybrid corn
specialist of Southern States Cooper
ative explained.
Five years ago little or no hybrid
corn was raised in Maryland, Della
ware, Virginia, and West Virginia.
This year rs per cent of the total
corn acreage will be planted to hy-
brids By next year the figure may be
40 per cent.
Hybrid corn is desirable for seed
because it has unusually strong root
systems, can withstand more abuse
from the elements than open pollina-
ted varieties, and will produce from
18 to rs percent more than other
corn.

Iron Long in Use;
Much Recast From Scrap

The annual output of iron raises
the question of what becomes Of
such vast quantities of such dura-
BILE metal. The United States ex-
ports more than million tons of iron
ore, all of it going to Canada. Mil
lions of tons also were exported an
nually in the form of automobiles,
machinery, household utensils and
scrap.
The aggregate of small losses by
corrosion, erosion or abrasion, in
sunken ships and abandoned oil
wells, in discarded tin cans and 9TH
er bits of steel too small for col
lection as scrap, would probably run
into millions of tons in a century.
On the other hand, almost two
thirds of the iron and steel con-
sumed in the United States in the
past 80 years, in the form of build
ings, bridges, railroad equipment,
ships, automobiles, tools, machinery,
pipes, bathtubs and many other arti-
cles, is believed to be still in service.
Nearly a third of the total ton
mage used has been repurchased by
steel mills and foundries as scrap
to be made into new iron or steel
more than half billion tons since
1854. The actual loss of iron COM
pared to the total mined is small.
