Pan Fried Tomatoes

Try green tomatoes sliced and
pan-fried - make slices about one
haf-inch thick, dip in beaten egg
diluted with a little milk or water
and then in fine bread crumbs or
cracker crumbs. Pantry slowly in
bacon drippings or other fat, turn
ing them only once. For something
little different you can dress them
up by making a sour cream gravy
and pouring it over the fried toma-
toes.

In terms of cash, the prospects

feet long, three and one-half feet

The Better Gold Mine

The Better Gold Mine
THE old-fashioned gold mine" -
says Molitor, has two common
faults. Ii is inconveniently 10
Gated, and if worst comes to worst
you can't eat the stuff.
"Deatrick's backyard gold mine
avoids both of these weaknesses.
Each of his 10 hydroponic beds
grows 200 plants. Each plant
produces an average of is pounds
of No. | tomatoes which bring
a retail price of 81 cents a pound.
"Since at least two crops can be
planted and harvested with no
strain the annual gross income of
Deatriek's quarter-acre gold mine
figures to reach about $4,000"
DeatriclI's entire farm, he adds,
consists Of a house and d 100-1l0-
foot lot.
tThe cost of soil-less agricul-
ture is difficult to figure. The
chemicals cost approximately SO
for enough to make 1000 gallons
of liquid and the liquid is con-
sumed at varying rates during the
growth of the plants. In addition,
the ordinary costs of labor, inter
est on investment, depreciation
and marketing must be deducted
from the gross, but such costs
are different from those in ordi-
nary farming because of the diff
ferent nature of the operations.)
Popularized by Accident
"Soil-less growing is not new
says Molitor. 1T has been sue
cessfully carried on for years by
experts, but the atmosphere OF
test tubes and science frightened
away laymen and household
gardeners.
