And sometimes, suddenly, one finds that
some of the incest things one had planned
to do. can't be done at all because the per
son one was going to do them for just isn't
there to enjoy them.
There is Just one, way to get caught up
with oneself. DO it as the old woman got
over the stile-one step at time.
First draw up balance with yourself.
List all Of the things you have left undone.
Don't let the length Of the list discourage
YOU, You don't have to do them all at once.
Then set aside one hour every day and
do some of them crossing them off as they
are finished. You will find the encourage
ment of the work done will help you find
more time and before you know it you Will
have finished all of the tasks. And, can YOU
imagine a more delightful sensation than to
know YOU have nothing hanging over your
head that YOU ought to do? That YOU have
the time to do what YOU want to do and
enjoy it?
Come to think of it, the idea sounds so
good, we shall start doing it ourselves

All through the years, in summer time
When Ieoves their branches bear,

4 RE YOU caught up with Yourself? You
- know what we mean. The letters YOU
We're going to write. The mending YOU have
been planning TO do. The book YOU simply
must read The visits you had planned to
make. The little thoughtful things YOU
were going TO do for others.
OF course. when YOU find the time YOU
are going to finish up all Of these things.
But honestly now, how hard have you look
ed for the time.
Aren't YOU just letting things YOU
should do accumulate until the task of
clearing them all up makes the cleaning
Of the Augean stables look like a minor ac-
complishment?
Oh, we know all you are going to say.
We have made all of those excuses, too. No
one has a patent on representation. 1t is
so easy to do things of the moment 1t is SO
easy to push things aside and feel very
virtuous about it at the time But things
undonc have way of haunting one. And
of having to be done just when one least
wants to do them.

Serve Pickles
With Your Meals

THE tang of crisp, spiced pickles
adds interest and palatability to
any meal" says Miss M. Gertrude
Holloway. nutrition specialist of
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service. Pickles play an i'm
pOrtant part in the diet because
they stimulate the flow of saliva
and gastric juices which aid in
digestion.
Pickles which are a combination
of several ingredients-usu
fruit, vegetables, and spices-can't t
be made in a hurry. The prepara-
ton of good pickles requires care,
patience, and good judgment.
Regardless of the type of pickles
you make, use only good quality
fruits and vegetables. Use the right
ingredients and measure accurate
ly. Follow directions carefully and
store the finished product in cool,
dark, dry place.
With the large supply Of GU
cumbers now on the market, Miss
Holloway suggests that home
makers make variations of cucum-
ber pickles. There are many diff
ferent kinds and many variations
to make. One of the most popular
and easiest kind TO make is the
Bread and Butter Pickle. Nearly
every housewife has her own recipe
for this but here is one Miss Hol-
lOway recommends:
Bread and Butter Pickles
) Medium cucumbers
/ 3 Medium onions
a cup salt
l cup vinegar
] cup water
Il teaspoon turmeric
u teaspoon celery seed
e teaspoon mustard seed
u cup sugar
p teaspoon ginger
Wash cucumbers. Cut i'm thin
slices. Peel and slice onions. Com
bine onions and cucumbers. Add
salt. Let stands two hours. Drain
Heat vinegar, water, celery seed
mustard seed, sugar, ginger. and
turmeric to boiling. Add cucum-
bers and onions. Boil slowly until
tender. Pack while hot in freshly
sterilized jars.

Farm Corporations
Described In
University Report

The advantages and disadvant-
ages OF Incorporating the farm bus
mess are described in a report se-
Gently published by the University
of Delaware.
This is the type of report that
Will help farmers who are thinking
OF Incorporating their farm bust
ness" says w. T. McAllister, mar
keting specialist for the Agricul-
tural Extension Service at the Uni
versity.
McAllister points to the need for
understanding of large scale farm
operations. The trend in farming is
toward larger farms, more and
bigger farm machines, and larger
dairy herds and poultry focks. This
means a big increase in the money
invested in the farm business. And
larger farms require better man
agement, skilled labor, and a close
watch on costs and returns.
Some farmers are starting to
think about changing their farm
business to bring more of the fam
lily, or business associates, into the
farm organization. Farm-familv ar
rangements such at father-sOn
or sOn-in-law. brothers, or other
close family relationships have been
common for many years.
This Delaware report is a re-
print OF a study made at Cornell
University A quote from this study
summarizes the present attitude to-
ward Incorporated farms. "Manv
misconceptions prevail as to what
incorporating will do. 1t is not a
cureall for family troubles or finan-
clal difficulties. Also, the family
farm corporation is not a menace
to society. A few farm families have
tried incorporation and have been
satisfied with the results. Usually
some unusual features of the farm
or family caused the adoption ot
the corporate form of business"
Delaware farmers interested in
knowing more about incorporating
their farm business can get a com
plete report of the New York studv
from their county agents or nv
writing to the Bulletin Mailino
Room, Agricultural Hall. Newark
