' Mrs. Frank E. Hayward of Seattle sat by her radio and crocheted to calm her excited nerves. And she was excited because she crocheted. Who could blame the hand that held the swift-moving steel hook if it shook just a wee bit or if the new national crocheting champion dropped a stitch now and then? Things had been happening thick and# fast for the sixty-two-year-old iMrs. Hayward ever since she received a telegram notifying her that the bed spread she entered in a contest in New York had won her the national crocheting title and with it $250 in prize money. Then a long distance call from New York, which in itself is enough to ruffle the calmest nerves, asked her if she would like to fly to New York to receive her reward with all expenses paid. The bed spread that was the cause of it all required fifteen years to make. SLOCUM'S LAKE Mr. and Mrs. Earl Converse were business callers at Barrington last Monday afternoon.

Cabbage Revered Lovers of cabbage and its German offspring, sauerkraut, will be glad to know that it was a vegetable revered in olden times above all others and credited with most magical properties. The Egyptians adored it and raised altars in its honor. The Hebrews declared that mixed:, with beet roots and water distilled from dry moss and honey, cabbage was a sure cure for nausea. Greeks and Romans believed it preserved the wise partaker from the evils of drunkenness.

FARM TOPICS OUTDOOR PITS ARE 'GOOD FOR STORAGE Vegetables for Winter May Be Kept for Months Kr 6G.a rEd,e nMia*m, IcNt«. wP rJoefresMeyo rC oolfl eVgec gocft abi* Agriculture.--WNU Service. A possible answer to the problem of getting better prices for vegetables at this season may lie in the utilization of outdoor storage pits on more farms. Many growers who are not equipped with storage facilities haul their surplus crops to market and this often lowers prices. An outdoor pit makes it possible to store vegetables successfully for .months during cold weather. Crops which may be stored for winter use or sale include beets, turnips, winter radishes, carrots, rutabagas, parsnips, salsify, horseradish, cabbage and winter apples. The outdoor pit is inexpensive to make. A well-drained location is important because excess Water must be drained away from the storage pit during heavy rains.

This is important, for if the roots are trimmed, too closely they have a tendency to "bleed" excessively and shrivel. Cabbage is pulled with the roots attached, and placed in the pit with the stem end up so that any water coming through will not enter the head and cimse it to rot. T" . . After the crops have been carefully placed in the pit, cover them with a layer of from four to six inches of hay or straw, and just enough soil to keep the covering from blowing away. A means of ventilation must always b? provided. This is usually made either from a bundle of straw six inches in diameter, or from old stove pipe or terra-cotta pipe. This will allow warm air and excess moisture given off by the stored roaTSTO pass out of the pit and permit the cold air to enter. As the weather becomes colder, additional layers of straw or hay and soil are necessary to keep the roots in the pit from freezing.

Growers Are Fattening^ Holiday Turkey plocls Turkeys reach a marketing size only after 24 to 28 weeks of even, rapid growth from the start, says Dr. H. S. Wilgus, Jr., head of the poultry department at Colorado State college. This time is divided into three pe> riods. The first 8 to 10 weeks is the brooding period, from then until about 20 weeks old is the growing period, and from (hen on, the finishing period. Feeding experiments conducted by agricultural college experiment stations and the United States Department of Agriculture show that any serious interference with the growth rate may result in deformed breast bones and later maturity. Most turkeys to be marketed during the holiday season soon will reach the finishing period, says Dr. Wilgus. Care of the flock during this time is as essential as in the two earlier periods. Range should be restricted to limit exercise while birds , are being finished. Four opfive birds to each foot of space is about right. -; - Pekin Duck in Lead Although there are a number of different varieties of ducks that produce results when raised for meat consumption, the Pekin duck seems accepted generally as America'^ foremost commercial breed.
