tion dishes will feature the meaty
goodness. of easy-to-prepare franks.
Since franks are made accord
ing to recipe, the flavor and quail
ity will vary considerably from one
brand to; another. For this reason
it's wise buymanship to look for
a. quality brand name and to read
the list of ingredients on the label.
Quality franks are made of select
ed cuts of beef and pork with sea-

Franks require refrigeration

Fruit Tree Spray
Advised Now

It's time to spray trees to con-
troll peach leaf curl, scale insects,
certain aphids and mites. That's
the advice Of a plant pathologist
and enthomologist. in. the Uni
versity Of Maryland Extension
Service.
Spray materials can be used
now. while trees are dormant,
that would be harmful if used
later, when leaves are present.
Leaf curl was q serious prob
lem in 1852. DR.. L. o. Weaver,
extension pathologist, says it is
likely to do a lot Of damage in
1853 unless peach growers spray
now to control it. A single spray.
carefully applied, will control
leaf curl. The spray should be
applied to the dormant tree be-
fore growth starts in the buds.
