LIFE IN
THECOUN TRY
Attenuation in Walnut Trade
By JAMES BlRcHFIELD

They say automation has
come to the walnut business,
but not in our neck Of the
woods. II we want black wal
nuts to flavor our cakes and
cookies, then we jolly well
gather them ourselves or pay
someone to do it for us.
There is no pastime so
pleasant as that of gathering
walnuts. It gets you out in the
open during one Of the most
beautiful times of the year,
and you get just enough exer-
else to make you eat a hearty
supper.
Many years ago we used to
60 out after walnuts in a
horse-drawn buggy. We would
gather the walnuts in burlap
bags and store them behind
the buggy seat and then start
the drive home.
There we used to pile up the
nuts to wait until the outer
shell dried and darkened. Then
we would tramp them to loosen
the shell. OF course we would
be covered with walnut stain
a persistant brown color
before the job was done and
for weeks we would look like a
red Indian.
BY the time the stains were
worn away, the nuts would be
dry enough to crack, and this
job would take up long after
moons into the winter. An old
fiat iron and a hammer were
the best cracking tools we could
find, although now I under
stand, there are fancy crackers
on the market.
We still gather walnuts some
times in the fall, but there is
little cracking going on out
our way now. The reason is
that Freddie lives not far
away. Freddie gathers, shells
and cracks and brings us the
walnut kernels. He is at it
this fall, ! hear, so we can ex-
pect some rich nut meats be-
fore long.
Reports from Missouri indi-
cate that black walnut harvest
ing has grown into the.big busi-
ness stage out that way. Farm
ers gather nuts and take them
to town where automation takes
over. The nuts are cracked and
the meats removed in huge

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
DEPENDS ON OUR SPIRIT

The permanent and profitable development of any com
munity depends upon the spirit of its citizens and the utliza-
ton of local resources of money and materials
Contrary to much present-day thought, our development
does not depend upon the amount of state money spent in our
community or the amount of Federal cash that can be pulled
in These may provide a squirt, but if their acceptance involves
surrender of local spirit, the final plight of the municipality
may be worse than before the money arrived.
We are not saying that we should forego all of the adj
vantages that come from outside sources. We suggest, how
ever, that, very often, the time and energy expended in seek
ing outside aid could effect substantial development. More
over, a city or town grows through the initiative and ability
of its people and no temporary advantage is worth sacrificing
these attributes.

Now's Time To
Start Knitting For
Christmas
5y VIVIAN BROWN
APP Newsfeatures Writer

Knitting has man appeal, one
reason why many girls carry the
needles to school, and even to
parties.
Why are men capitivated by this
activity? For different reasons, we
found out. One man pointed out
that knitting gives a girl poise,
1t gives her something to do with
her hands" Another said, sit is
an activity that is associated with
femininity." Another remembered
fondly that grandma, noted for her
good cooking, also loved to knit.
But aside from mans interest in
a girl who knits, it is a fine way to
produce an inexpensive Christmas
present. The fussiest member of the
family who can't be pleased with a
token gift will appreciate some
thing created with the needles.
A charming gift for a friend,
member OF the family or even for
yourself could be an afghan. Knit
ting and crochet enthusiasts can
turn wool yarn into a lovely room
accessory for living room or den.
IL the color scheme of a room is
kept in mind, so much the better.
AS an old hand at afghans / am
partial to the shades of the same
color" theme. A sunburst pattern
starts with orange, winds up with
yellow or a violet ends in lavendar.
But these days many knitters like
floral patterns that take their cue
from Oriental rugs and needlepoint
designs, perhaps because of the
trend to traditional rooms.
Simple and chic is the striped
pattern in afghans, from wide bands
of contrasting color or shadings
of one hue, to zig-zag stripes and
lovely ripple stripes. Checks vary
from colorful checkerboard and
window pane motifs to broad blocks
of color overlaid on a solid back
ground. Granny motifs are still
popular with their old-fashioned
air.
Do one square at a time, carry
ing your little balls of yarn in your
pocketbook, and in no time at all
you'll have enough squares to haste
tOSelHeI. E4ApeTlS III yarn StOEeS
and the hand knitting associations
claim that this is busy year for
teen age knitting.
An afghan will be an investment
of time as well as money, so plan
1t out properly. Smaller gifts that
may be hand knit to make hit
with those you plan to shower at
Christmas include weskits, socks,
ties and sweaters for the boys,
stoles, boleros. socks, sweaters for
the girls, and bootees, bonnets.
panties for the wee members of
your family.
Directions for afghans may be
obtained from any yarn supplier.
But ask grandma, we'll bet she has
a pattern that you'll love.
