Fall Gardening

What are you planting in your
fall garden? The garden experts
put at least 10 vegetables on their
list of fall garden crops. Look
them over and see how many you
have yet to plant: Bush snap
beans, beets, radish, tendergreens,
turnips, carrots, chard, Chinese
cabbage, kale, lettuce, rutabagas,
mustard, onions, parsley, potatoes,
spinach, cabbage and tomato
plants or suckers.
These plus the summer carry
overs of tomatoes, eggplants and
pepper will fill most any size gar
den.
Get busy. You're being depend
ed on for at least a ten-month
garden this year. August is the
big fall garden month in Missis-
sippi. Don't wait, get busy now.
If it's dry when you're ready
to plant, open seed drill, water
drill thoroughly, let water soak
in, SOW seed and cover with dry
soil.

To Hold Color

Successful freezing of peaches,
apricots, figs. pears and plums
calls for some treatment to keep
them from darkening, home freez-
ing specialists of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture say.
For most fruits ascorbic acid
(vitamin C) is effective in hold
ing natural color and flavor. 1t
also adds nutritive value. Crystal
line or powdered ascorbic acid is
for sale in many drug stores and
some locker plants. If you don't
find it in your locality, your drug
gist can order it for you. Ascor-
bic acid tablets also may be used,
but they are more expensive, are
more difficult to dissolve in wa
ter, and the filler which holds
them in shape may make the sirup
cloudy.
To use ascorbic acid powder,
simply dissolve it in a little cold
water. Make the solution only as
needed and keep in the refrigera-
tor until used because it can lose
strength if kept too long or in a
warm place. Qf ascorbic acid tab
lets are used, crush them to make
them dissolve easily in water.
The ascorbic acid solution is
either added to sirup before pour
ing the sirup over the fruit, or
sprinkled over the fruit just be-
fore adding dry sugar. When
stirring into sirup, stir gently so
that as little air will be mixed in
as possible.
Special anti-darkening mixtures
are for sale under various trade
names. These usually are ascor-
bic acid with sugar, or with sugar
and citric acid. Because ascorbic
acid is the ingredient which does
the most to protect the color,
buying it in a mixture may be
more expensive than buying it
pure.
For few fruits whole fresh

figs or puree or prune or plum -
citric acid powder or lemon juice
may be used against darkening.
Citric acid powder is cheaper,
weight for weight, than ascorbic
acid powder, but less effective,
SO a larger amount may be re-
ouired, and this may make the
fruit too sour, or may mask the
natural flavor. Lemon juice like
wise adds tartness to the fruit.

of water is to you. And don't
leave the poor old hens with no

Miss Olson risked it.

Honorable Hugh Butler
United States Senate
Washington, D. C..
My dear Senator Butler:
Permit me to thank you kindly
for your letter of the 21st inst. It
is indeed very heartening to know
that you r not agreed with GER
tain leaders and legislators in the
islands who have labeled the IL,
600 Virgin Islanders (more or less)
residents on the mainland as ex-
patriates, incapable of understand
ing or of making any contribution
to the program of rehabilitation
and not entitled to any permanent
repatriation to the homeland.
Unfortunately we are at great
odds as to a sound and practical
program for the American Virgin
Islands.
I would like to again remind
you that which seems to be some
what hazy in your mind namely,
that the natives of the American
Virgin Islands are citizens of the
United States and are therefore
entitled to all rights and priv
leges appertaining thereto. We
who reside on the mainland are
included among the taxpayers re-
ferred to in your report.
/ disagree with you on the fol-
lowing points:
/. A sound policy with respect
to all forms of taxation.

dent Commissioner solely respon-
sible for the affairs of the islands
which is proved by your admis-

OF Desire To
Come Here For
Three Years

City Commissioners last night
We're told by Chamber of Com
nerce President Earl R. Adams
Of Atlanta's intention to come
TO Key West for spring training
providing the City meets certain
conditions.
In the baseball group will be
fifty players, but many more
will accompany the team as
sports writer's, fans, etc.
Text of the letter follows:
The Crackers are interested in
training in Key West next
spring. We know that the ball
park will be ready and in good
shape, but we would like to
know what kind of a rate we
could get at one of the hotels,
probably the La Concha.
we will have approximately
so people in our official party.
Would you mind contracting the
hotels and having them write
us about their rates. We would
require rooms with tWin-beds.
For eating, we would require the
usual breakfast, sandwiches and
milk for the ball park, and din
neT.
''The thing that worries us
most in travelling the great dis
lance to Key West is the extra
transportation expense. 1t would
no doubt cost $4,000 or $4,000
more in railroad expense than
training in Pensacola.
IF we sign up to go to Key
West for a period of three years
do you suppose the city and
county would be interested in
substituting our Club to cover
the cost of this additional ex-
pense?
In addition WEI would also
require the usual facllltles Wnlcn
are as follows: the use of the
bali park, club house, lights and
water, with the park being
maintained M #
I'VE would play some exhibit
ton games in Key West and
would expect to split the gate
with the visiting club with At
lanta retaining their share.
we would like to hear from
you again, and if you think it is
necessary | will be glad to come
to Key West or meet you in
Miami to fully discuss this mat
ter. Thanks for your considera-
ton and best wishes"
