Pot Roast By French
Method May Be Small

A Pot Roast for four persons
has always been one of the dishes
that has been declared an impos-
sibility - yet the following recipe
Ia Normandy one) not only dis
proves that theory but is a dis
tinct improvement over some of
the recipes we use here as Ameri-
can Pot Roast.
To make this dish, purchase a
chunky piece Of lean beef from
the rump, weighing two or two
and one-half pounds. Scar and
brown the meat in bacon fat on a
very hot, deep skillet. When meat
is Drowned, dredge with two ta-
blespoons of flour mixed with two
teaspoons salt, one-half teaspoon
pepper, and mere pinch of
cayenne. Surround the meat with
two punches Of leeks, cut into inch
pieces, and one cup diced carrots,
one cup of celery cut in short
pieces. Over the whole spread one
cup of well washed dried apricots.
Add three cups of hot water OF
stock, cover closely, and cook over
very, low flame three to four
hours. The addition of the fruit
does away with the flavor of the
shut-in steam that so many per-
sons object to in pot roasts.
Serve with its own gravy, which
is particularly good.
A salad of mixed greens best
follows this dinner.
And for dessert, sliced ban
anas which have been sprinkled
with lemon juice and then covered
with a thick, rich syrup left over
from canned fruit.

Old-Timers' Session

In gathering Of old-timers a few
days ago. one made this point.
while Conn is much faster on his
feet than Louis ever was, don't for
get that Louis is just as fast with his
two fists as Conn is. Maybe faster.
Louis can wreck you with a short
punch and he can throw these
punches with lightning speed. They
travel faster than the eye can fol-
low. Louis won't lose much of this
hand speed, although his reiiexes
are bound to be slower.

Expansion Needs Are Facing
Board of Public Affairs

Continued from Page u
Councilmen took the matter under
consideration, with a report expect
ed at the next meeting.
Repair Water Tank
Board of Public Affairs spokesman
also asked council permission to ad-
vertise for bids covering the cost of
repairing and painting the present
water tank, which is in poor condi-
ton.
At the same time, they pointed out
that a larger tank, in a central loca-
tion. The 83,000-gallon capacity of
tion is needed. The 83,000-gallon
capacity of the present tank, erected
so years ago, no longer is sufficient
for the town, and pressure is main
tanned in mains here largely by
means of the waterworks pumps.
No recommendation on the matter
of a new water tower, however, was
presented to the council by the board.
The problem of chlorination of the
towns water supply is an old one,
and the states recommendation is one
of long standing. Continued growth
of the village, however, has served to
intensity the states demands in the
matter, and a showdown in the issue
eventually must be faced.

Victory Gardeners Get Out Tools To
Continue Backyard Pastime This Spring

A habit established in war years
is in evidence again here this spring,
with the towns former Victory
Gardeners" welding shovels, rakes
and hoes in backyard plots.
Those who have comparatively
small gardens which can be spaded
by hand are getting along all right,
but gardeners with larger plots are
experiencing difficulty this spring in
getting their ground plowed.
Farmers with tractors are too busy
in their own fields to get into town,
and most of them are too short
handed SO far as spring plowing is
concerned to worry about the plight
of Buttons gardeners. Flowing
done by tractor is bringing prices
ranging from So to $5 for a single
lot.
Victory gardeners, however, are
far wiser than when they were
flushed with enthusiasm in early
war years, and smaller plots satisfy
most of them this spring. Many
have learned the hard way that a
small well-managed garden will re-
turn more vegetables than a poorly
operated large plot.
One of the most common mistakes
in the early days of victory garden
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1946-04-18

ing was in the selection of too large
plot of ground, and only thru ex-
perience did many amateurs learn
that it isn't the size of the garden
as much as the skill of managing it
that produces the best results and
fills the home vegetable cellar in the
fall.
Another lesson learned the hard
way by many was the knowledge
that it isn't the bubbling-over zest
of early spring, evaporating with the
hot days of midsummer, that gets
things done, but rather a carefully
mapped plan of work and crop rota-
ton.
Planting early crops that can be
harvested in early summer and fol-
lowed by later maturing vegetables
can go far toward eliminating un-
necessary work, and still produce
the same results that larger plot
could give.
Three years of gardening have
taught many that the duties of their
regular jobs do not permit much
time for outside activities, and that
it is better to tend small garden
well than to plant plot too large
for the time they have to spend on
it.

Another way to beat the housing
shortage will be demonstrated by
Ben Shafer, who bought house in
Benton Ridge and will move it to
Bluffton this spring. The building
will be placed on the two lots Shafer
purchased recently adjoining the Levi
Frankhauser property near the Allen
Hancock county line, in the Fred
Mueller addition fronting on Route

to remodel the residence into two
family duplex this summer.
Two families have completed over

SHORTS AND MIDDLINGS

Ohio milk production the last week
in February was little higher than
for the same week in 1945. Subsidy
payments of go cents a hundred
weight on milk and II cents a pound
on butterfat continue to May l and
then drop to 25 cents a hundred
weight and to 10 cents pound until
July /.
The 1916 support price on soy
beans will be the same as was in
effect in 1945, the base price being
$2.04 per busheL. Deductions will be
made for soybeans of poor quality,
with high moisture content, and of
colors other than yellow or green.
Soybean acreage goals have been
increased because the supply of oils
and fats is not equal to demands.
The use of wheat or any product
of wheat in making malt beverages
was prohibited March l. The aggre-
gate of all other grains used by
brewers also was limited to 70 per
cent of the amounts used by the
brewing industry in 1945. Wheat is
needed for human food, and the
supply of feed grains for livestock
is likelv to he below amounts re-
quired by farmers, ranchers, and
poultrymen.
Farmers installing water systems
are advised to choose pumps large
enough so they need not be operated
more than two hours a day to
provide sufficient water. People re-
quire an average of % gallons of
water daily, cows Is gallons, horses
10 gallons, hogs two gallons, and
chickens four gallons per 100 birds.
Changeable weather makes extra
hazards in raising chicks. Unless
automatic controls regulate brooders
accurately, there are likely to be
sudden temperature changes in the
brooder house. Too much heat or
too much cold are almost equally
disastrous to the chicks, SO extra
vigilance is needed.
