vECFTAPtC fhortCeke DISCUSS
i}LANS
The Coop Vegetable Producers met on led
nesday evening of this week in the former
Librarv room to di 5cuss Potato Contracts
and needs of the Vegetable markets for the
ensuing year.
The Potato Contracts call for slightly
more than that Of last year, but the GUAM
titles OF other vegetables have been re-
duccd. due to the fact that the bids are
let for shorter periods of time. This is
due to poor delivery on some produce last
year. Therefore. bids Will be placed for
80 or 90 day periods Of time..
According to those attending the meeting,
growers demonstrated greater interest this
year than previouslv. IS attended the
meeting. Ten neW MEMBERS have. Joined the
association since the beginning Of the yea
Nominations we're made at this meeting for
an advisory committee to work. with the
Board of Directors in sharing up the Pro-
duce program for the coming .ear. Of the
nominations made, the Goard Will select
the committee.
III. Wilson also emphasized the fact that
members are expected to market through
their association. Inasmuch as all menl-
bers have the opDortunity to withdraw fron
the association during g definite period
Of time each year, and have not taken adj
vantage of this opportunity, they are then
expected to stay With the Association dur
ing the Production season. Tt is only by
working out our problems together, he said
that We can make a success OF our Coop.

SEWING TABLE.

From Mrs. r. w.. Washington
Some one recently asked about
n table for a sewing machine.
i've been using q portable sew
ing machine for about Is years
I bought q sewing table, VIII. Is
about like typewriter table
After using it for a while I found
that ii didn't give enough work
surface and any large piece Of
material would hang over the edge
I bought a one-inch board at the
lumber yard and nailed II 10 the
top Of the table. My board meas
ures Is by ~. chose this size
because II fits exactly IN the cor
ner I want to use my machine
and / find il q good size for my
work. I then placed my machine
flush with the front edge about
six inches in from the right side
as I wanted most Of my surface
on the left. but find the SIX inches
on the right just the thing for
scissors, pin tray. etc. Be sure 10
place your table under the board
directly under where you put your
machine. so that the weight of
the machine rests on the table. !
found that the machine had a
tendency TO walk" when operated
and cured this by mailing mold
ing around it which holds 1t firmly
in place but still permits me to
lift out the machine If ! wish TO.
I broke up an old picture frame
for the molding. II eou are
better handy-man than I am. you
might want to counter-sink your
machine. or bring the work table
up flush with the sewing surface
Of the machine. This would make
it ideal having your machine and
table completely level. although /
find the two-inch drop from the
surface of the machine TO the
table not too bad. ! got a thin
yardstick in the hardware store
and tackled 1t on the front edge OF
the table. 1t is very handy for
Quick measuring while sitting at
the machine. I screwed cup hooks
on the underside of the board and
find these very handy for hang
ing bags of scrap material sorted
as to color. I put large screen
around my sewing corner when
not in use. I find this much ham
dier than having to tidy up the
sewing corner each time ! use it.
The biggest disadvantage to port
able machines Is that it takes
longer to get them out and put
away again than the time a busy
woman has to devote to sewing.
The permanent table in the corner
permits me to snatch every few
minutes have TO do O little

STROILERS FOR TWINS:
TARTAR SAUCE:
BIRTHDAY CAKES


From W. X. r.. GreenbefsJ
Was delighted TO read your nose
about your l0-month-old twin
boys. Mine are II months. Aren'i
they fun?
We solved the stroller problem
by the purchase OF two strollers
and the twin attachment-metal
clamps which attach the front
bumpers and handles. It works
very well and Is easy to detach
when you want TO let the boys
play freely. Also q pleasure to
push after that heavy twin car
riage.
I've found 1t to be less trouble
to feed both at once. alternate
spoonfuls: also bathe them at
once. II seems to lessen the cnore
to be finished and not have to
repeat.
How are you training TO q cup
and self-feeding? I'm scared to
tackle that.
Mrs. M. r. requested a tartar
sauce recipe. I've been using may
onnaise mixed with chopped dill
pickle and find 1t a very satisfac-
tory substitute.
Does any one have a suggestion
for twin birthday cakes?
AvocADoS.
from J. F. B., Washington.
To Mrs. T. r. B., Washington
on ripening avocados: Having
been an old avocado grower from
California. if Mrs. T. r. B. will
just wrap the avocado In news
paper and keep them in a warm
place they will break down" or
ripen in a few days. OF, better
still, if she has some pieces. of
pure woolen material and pro-
ceeds as above she will obtain the
same results. The fruit must
sweat"
Here is a very fine recipe for
an evening meal that people in
the East may not have for avo-
cadoes.
1t is made around French toast.
Mash the avocado with a fork,
add bacon that has been fried
crisp and brown and also mashed
scrape about as much raw onion
as the family will like for flavor.
GA little mayonnaiSe can be
added
Dip the bread In egg mixture
and cook to a golden brown on
one side only. Cover the Drowned
side with the avocado mixture
place the other Drowned piece of
bread on top Of the avocado paste
You have sandwich. Now place
back in the pan and brown both
sides that have not cooked. The
paste will become delicately
warmed and the seasoning will
penetrate. Some people like to
butter this sandwich and also add
honey. sirup. etc. Call the mob
and get out Of the way once they
know what's cooking.

If Well Just Fight
We Can Save Acres ofCrOps
From Saevfly and Grasshobper Damage
Ru RALPH MERCER
Soils and Crops
By L RI

ILL, ObIAo, IClS we o1C St01 -
ing a brand new year with every
thing ahead of us. We have left be-
hind US a year that was very good
to the majority, but a little too rough
on a few sections of the state. In
an empire as extensive as the state
of Montana, with as many kinds of
conditions as affect whole areas in
other regions, it's gratifying when
over half of the state has favorable
conditions.
Starting in on the new year we
have a few guide posts to go by.
The winter wheat crop didn't go into
the winter in as good shape as We
had hoped; but you eve a tell,
it may look pretty good by the first
of April. There's no use worrying
about it now. Most of it is covered
with snow, and that's the best in
ran we can have on it at this
time of year.
They say there's going to be a
pretty big carry-over of wheat any
way, so its future isn't any too
bright.
Sawflies. Grasshoppers
Then of course in certain
of the state it looks like a bumper
crop of sawfhes and g~rasshoppers
for 1949. We sit around all winter
hoping some act of nature will cause
them to disappear, but for a quar-
ter of a century some of us have
been looking for the miracle that
never comes. Even though we have
TO lick them to save our crops we
are in better shape now than eve
before to do the job. With a resist
ant variety of wheat to help control
sawflies and chemicals to blast the
grasshoppers, we can save many
acres of crops if We'll just fight.
When I talk like this it reminds
me of my old friend, Alfred, from
the eastern side of the state. Re-
Gently, after confessing to being a
pessimistic-optimist in discussing
the weed control problems confront
ing this state, Alfred said, Ralph
that's the trouble with you fellows,
you always pick out the worst part
of a subject and hammer on it."
His statement is true, but it's the
old story Of the easy things being
taken are of first and too often the
tougher angles of the problem are
never tackled. Too often, in trying
to solve the problem the easy way
the tough angles get beyond control
No Better Producers
So, while we are talking abou
such things, let me start the new
year out right. There isn't any plac
in the country where producers d
a better job of growing crops. Their
isn't a place where producers folloy
more closely the research finding
of the Montana agricultural expert
ment station. There isn't a plac
where there's a better group of Pre-
ducers to work with.
That's been said and I'm glad {
it. But remember, just so long {
the editor of Montana Farmer-Stocl
man will accept my remarks for tn
column, I'm going to keep hamme.
ing on things I know you should d
but know darn well you won't do
until times get tough again, and the
maybe you'll listen.
And while I'm in the ho1ids
shirt LET me tell Won that 70
