In Britain, experiments are being conducted with artificial meat from food yeast containing a very high proportion of protein. Food yeast is made from sugar or molasses with the help of a microorganism, The strain of the micro-organism has recently been very much im- proved by the Chemical Section of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research at Teddington, near London. It can he mixed with a meatless stew, or made into sauces or a wholesome drink, by mixing it with water or milk, The protein content is said to be almost as high as that of fish or meat and its taste distinctly meaty and pleasant.

Clarke of GINGER FARM .™"." ™" -- Having 'separated the skins and the pulp from three baskets of grapes; and having set the same on the stove to simmer, I may, perchance, snatch a few moments to have a chat with you, When 1 was Jeaving the kitchen just now son Bob called out "Come quickly, Mom, before it's too late , , .see what's on the win- dow-sill." I came . ..and on the dining-room sill what did I see but a real live hen-pheasant, Un- fortunately our movements scared the bird and it flew down and a- way. * » * Feathered foul around here seem to be fond of finding queer places in which to roost, We keep an egg pail hanging from a beam in the hen-pen and yesterday what should I find but a pullet making. her nest in that same pail. How she ever got to it I will never know. And every night in the big chstnut tree at the back of the house there are about twenty-five chickens -- some pullets, some roosters, perched on the highest branches of the tree, We are not _ afraid of chicken thieves getting ~ them because before anyone could . climb the tree the birds would be gquawking and fluttering to the ground, : Naturally birds that are fond of the high spots are not too partlcu- "lar where they lay their eggs so that we find nests in the most in- accessible places.

LI . Well, how does everybody like being back on standard time? Personally we. haven't noticed any difference at all We get up at the same time as before, irrespective of clocks--only it just means wait- ing an hour longer for our dinner, Which just reminds me of some- thing I was thinking about the other day, Circumstances drove me to the conclusion that it doesn't pay to be out of step with the rest of the world, It was like this: For the first time in--I don't know how many years--we didn't put in an appearance at our local fair, Partner is still in the hos- pital and I didn't feel much like going. But still I had to go down town some time to [ thought it might be a good idea to get my shopping done while the rest of the folks were fairing, But jt did- n't work out that way. You see every store I went to had a notice "tacked up--*"Closed until 5.p,m." So you see what 1 mean when 1 say it doesn't pay to be out of step with the rest of the world, particularly in one's 'own com- munity, * * * 'Now I must fly--my ears and nose tell me that my grapes are ne longer simmering--they are boiling over, Bob says it smells like a still in the house, I must make a note of that and ask him what he knows about stills, And now the telephone is ringing, , . The grapes have been pushed to one side, I don't feel much liko attending to them now because the telephone call was from Daughter. She had just came from the hospital and left her Dad. just coming out from an anae- sthetic--an anaesthetic which was necessary for an examination that had to be made.

He had sandy, curly hair and an engaging smile, and he walked up calmly and with naive confidence, "I'm Gary Tallman, from Alaba- ma," he said, in an educated voice overlaid with a southern drawl. "Would you let me ride into town with you? I missed the bus, and it's pretty important that 1 get into San Antonio tomorrow. I assure you that I'm perfectly safe. You can have this man search me, if you like." - Mona Lee looked at him, He was a nice looking young man, with frank gray eyes. His tan riding pants and hoots had cost money, and his one suitcase was of good leather. She said as kindly as she could, "I'm not in the habit of picking up people..." "Naturally," he agreed. "I knew that when I looked at you." "My husband--". began Lee uneasily. "I know. He's probably a very wise husband." He smiled at her. "But I'm a petroleum engineer from--" he named a good univer- sity-- "on the way to-a job." "My son-in-law is in oil. Leases." Mona Lee mentioned the company, stalling for time, "Up with the big fellows, is he? I've been trying to get in there, but they're not taking on any geo physic men. But there's a chance in Mexico -- if you're willing to' work cheaply." : * % @ Gary Tallman smiled. For the last seventeen years, Mona Lee Ma- son had been feeling a sick jerk of" agony whenever she saw a tall boy with sandy, curly hair. Because little Phil would have grown up looking like that -- tall and swag: gering and audacious, with hajr ex- actly this color. "I don't go all the way to town," Mona "Lee told him.. "Our place is two miles this side. But probably: you can get a ride the rest of the way." The boy put his suitcase on the floor in the back. But he: opened' the front door and got in beside her. ; "You've been over in the oil. fields?" she asked. "Pretty hard work isn't it?" ~""I've been rigging -- and that is Mona tough. Especially if you're itching to be doing something that you've been trained to do." "My son," Mona Lee went on, "is third year law at the University: of Virginia." "Swell school," approved her passenger. 5 # Mona Lee thought of Harvey Junior -- dark and lean and tall, . dark 'like her but not like her in' other. ways. -- he was too. quick and. smooth and. sarcastic. = Not much like his father, either. Har- vey Senior was blunt and earthy' and direct, Mona Lee: admitted' tor herself that: she was a little afraid of her son. But little Phil would have been like this stranger here. Phil had loved the soil' and had al- ways opened his big gray eyes: wide and told the truth naively. , "Our Family Regulator is SAN ' |} - DR.

"Oh, no -- he's a rancher, raises grade Brahma stock buys cattle." She felt his eyes move over her and was glad that her new spring suit and her straw hat were becom- ing. She was forty-three, but the '" young boys still' dancetl with her "at parties, and that pleased 'Harvey though he wouldn't say so. They He and "had beep. married twenty-four years, and they had been happy years, PEER This boy talked well. He had seen a lot of the world. His fa- ther, so he said, was in cotton in Brazil 'and his mother had died when he was seven. Mona Lee felt a chocking lump of sympathy at that. She loved boys so much. She mothered every lanky male crea- ture Harvey hired on the place. The irony was that she had never been able to mother Harvey Ju- nior, at all. Nor ker young son-in- law, Oliver Kimball, Harvey Junior had always been terribly self-sufficient, resenting au- thority, reading books that worried his mother.- But this boy here in the car was pleasantly easy. He had been around the world on a tramp freighter, he told her, He had worked, rigging wells and wad- ing hot mud in a Louisiana swamp. "But you can't be more than twenty?" she said. "I'm twenty-four. I" worked summers, played football in the fall, and waited on tables in the dormitory to get through school. My father married again -- and though my stepmother's a good scout, she has three kids of her own, and I didn't want to take help from them." Ek in Eo ' She found herself telling him about her daughter, Adelaide, who was fair and calm and quick-mind- ed like Harvey. "She: didn't want to go to col- lege. She's at home this year, but 1 think she's a. little bit lost. She has. beaux hanging around, but I don't think: she cares much about any of. them." ~ "You," said the boy. abruptly, _ "have good hands for a horse. In Brazil last year, I rode a lot.

"She used to. And then her fa- ther bought her a little car and now she says horses don't go fast - enough, This is our place now -- it begins at this fence."
