Agent Takes A
"Busman's Holiday"

Continued from Page y
Her eggs were candled and packed.
Down the road her daughter, Mrs.
Georgia Cline, widow of the late
Captain Carl Cline, was in the
midst of making some forty cakes.
All of them had been spoken for
so we were very much disappoint-
ed that we could not buy one. At
Mrs. Gladhill's we enjoyed bowl
of good old-fashioned vegetable
soup, and glass of fresh cider.
Every one regretted that she ar
rived before the mince pies had
been made, for there in the kit
chen was great crock of the most
delicious meat that easily could
have taken the prize at any county
fair. We each had a taste and
smacked our lips over the delicious
flavor. a.
At the home of Mrs. j. D. King
in Germantown we enjoyed seeing
Mrs. Kings collection of milk
glass, music boxes and old pressed
glass. Mrs. King has made hobby
of old china and glass and has
very wonderful collection. The trip
to her kitchen which has been or
ganized like an institutional kit
chen, was most interesting. We,
again were tempted by the array
of beautiful cakes, and bought
two to enjoy as we rode on to other
homes. One of Mrs, Kings assis-
tants was deftly icing cakes and
the quality of the icing and the
skill of the worker brought forth
much praise from the home econo-
mists present. In the storage cell
lar we saw rows Of beautifully can
ned produce, barrels of vinegar,
bins of potatoes. Her holding
freezer locker and her deep freezer
were packed full of choice food.
1t seemed like an imposition to in
terrupt Mrs. King in her days
activity for she had planned to
cut up about ton of cabbage into
sauerkraut that afternoon.
AS long as the group was in the
upper end of the county could
not resist showing off beautiful
Sugar Loaf Mountain and the
friends from the flat Minnesota
prairies enjoyed stopping to view
the panorama of colorfnl fertile
farm land that lay below the look
out. Hollyhock Cottage, the home
of Mrs. Daniel, is a very intriguing
place to take group of visitors
and there we saw Mrs. Daniel busy
at work making her famous Park
er House rolls.
On the way home we stopped
at the home of Mrs. Clarence Day
at Clarksburg. Mrs. Day is not
seller on the Farm Women's
Market but has been a very fine
cooperator in the home furnish
ing project and l wanted the group
to see the pieces of furniture that
she has had restored or has res
tored herself, and the attractive
living room that has been care
fully arranged to meet the family
needs.
By that time the visitors from
Minnesota were a little dizzy from
going up and down hills and
thought visit to the freezer lock-
er plant in Gaithersburg should be
the climax to the trip. Mrs. Kemp
took them through the entire plant.
Miss Blair is making a study of
community freezer lockers and has
visited the land grant colleges in
their experimental laboratories as
we'll as many community lockers
all the way from Minnesota,
through Tennessee, North Carolina
and on up the Eastern Seaboard.
She will spend the rest of the year
studying the community freezer
locker at Cornell University.
We got back to Rockville in the
late afternoon tired, but with a
great hunger, which we had some
how developed, for fried chicken,
baked country ham, sausage, Park
er House rolls and hot mince piel
