HOUSEHOLD

My, I am so tired of fish! l have always liked fshebut this no meat business is wearing me down."
 The other ladies present agreed with Mrs. B. and someone added "and now no fat to fry that in." So one of the ladies told how she made up for the lack.
 Take 2 lbs. of cod or other fish to boil in salted water till done. Get F lb. of lobster or shrimp meat and after cutting into small cubes - put into rich cream sauce in double boiler. Season to cook we'll till it thickens. Pour over the hoiled fish and serve with buttered toast. The small quantity of lob ster is expensive but combined with cheap fish gives a full meat plat ter of something which tastes quite extra and the full cost is not so big. =.

MELODY LANE
By Roland C. Irving

] Why all the Bla! Bla! about Canada Lee, our celebrated Negro ,, actor, portraying a white charac- ter, in an all-white production seen recently on the stage at Bushnell Memorial. Millions of people paid and were glad to get in, to see the once famous Al Jolson, in Black Face, doing the once popu- lar song, "Mammy." That was art. It is just as much art, and real art to see Canada Lee, "a Negro, of dark-skin put on makeup and walk out on the American stage, and portray a white character, be- fore a white audience, and if they didn't read in the paper, they would never know the difference. The story is laid in Italy. Brother, if that isn't art, excuse me, please.

Holmes Farmers Add
Stock Fish Ponds

The Holmes County Soil Conser-
walton District technicians finished
delivering $4,000 fish to 40 farmers
last Friday to be used for stocking
ponds. Five or six weeks ago $4,000
Dream were delivered to these farm
ers and 5000 trout came in for dis
tribution last Friday. These fish are
being placed in ponds according to
the recommendation of Fish and
Game Commission, which is 1000
Dream and 100 trout per acre OF
pond. These ponds with these num-
Der Of fish are supposed to be well
fertilized. A mixed fertilizer, such
as 5.105 or 5-l0-l0 is recommended
at the rate of about 1000 pounds per
acre. The fertilizer is supposed to be
put out at the rate OF 100 to zoo
pounds every 80 days throughout the
summer, starting March ist.
Although the trout delivered
were an inch to an inch and half
in length, they will weigh as much
as a pound or more II placed IN a
well fertilized pond within IL
months, according to fish authori-
ties.
One caution that may be given
that a good screen be placed in the
spillway so that when the pond
overflows the fish will not be able
TO leave the pond. This Is very neces-
sary and should be done at the time
the fish are delivered to the water.
A well fertilized pond, properly
stocked with Dream and trout VIII
produce as much as $50 TO 400
pounds Of fish per acre per year.
