Miriam was undaunted. AT
least" she said. they're un-
sprayed. healthy, tasteless
melons"
Her peas were small and
the birds got them. Rain was
scarce and she could not get
the carrots out Of the hard
ground by hand, so she's been
excavating them with a pick
ak when she can locate them.
She did get loads of tomatoes
and cucumbers, and she's
made catsup and pickles and
different kinds of peculiar
looking soup and a strange
concoction she calls herb
cocktail"
She tried this herb cock
tail on me. and for a mo-
ment ! was sure she was
trying to do away with me.
Quite happily, she told me
she had made it with tomato
juice, endive, parsley, chives,
dill, sage, celery, borage,
summer savory and naStur-
tium leaves. 1t was the leaves,
I think, that got me.

there were as many bugs as
weeds.
When I beefed about the
bugs she said calmly: so
they get their share and we
get ours. There's plenty for
both of US"
Things began coming up
that she couldn't even iden-
tify. She would come running
to me In the barnyard, very
proudly, holding up som e
huge horn-shaped oddity and
yelling: Look herel Look
what we've got! Isn't it SIM
ply gorgeous?"
And then she would start
guessing what it was. At first
she thought these monstros-
tiles were giant cucumbers,
and then she thought they
were radioactivated squash
and finally she remembered
that she had planted some
banana melons. So we cut
them open for dessert one
evening and they tasted like

Feb. Is Deadline
Premeasurement
OF Tobacco Set

Prince Edward county farmers
who want their 1861 tobacco al
lotnents preneasllred should
complete application at the ASH,
office not later than February Is.
ASC Chairman r c. Xix said to-
day.
Xix pointed out that there are
definite advantages to a farmer
in using ASC's premeasurement
service. BY having an acreage
equal to the allotment determined
in advance of planting. the farm
el can plant the farms full al
lotment without fear of overplant-
ing and thereby avoid wasting
time. labor. and fertilizer. Actu-
ally, the cost of premeasurement
to the farmer is very small in
comparison to its value to the
farmer. he added.
For tobacco the rate is a mini
mum OF S. per farm or 50 per
farm plus 81 so for each acre or
fraction. Trainers who apply for
premeasurement should be GER
tain that someone is available on
the farm who is qualified to point
out to the ASC reporter the fields
on which the allotment crop acre
age is to be premeasured.
He estimated that three will
be about 400 farmers requesting
the service this year based on
last years figures The work
must be completed by May /.
In 1860 Prince Edward county
farmers paid $1,117 to have ex-
cess acreage destroyed. This
amount of money would have
paid for premeasurement of ap-
proximately 744 acres.
