ROJ GRAPES" Group One Food Because of its deep green color, okra is classed as a group one food on the "basic seven."* But, unlike other green and yellow foods of this group, okra is not rich in vitamin A. Okra is a better source of vitamin C--the young pods being especially rich in this vitamin Okra pods grow rapidly, sd Whether you are a home gardener or one who purchases vegetables, choose pods that are tender. The vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, content of okra is very easily lost. The best way to cook okra is with tomatoes until the ckra is just tender. This method of cooking will help to keep the essential vitamin C. If okra is tp be cooked alone, the most vitamin C remains if whole am all pods of okra are cooked in boiling water until just tender or about 20 minutes. • . '"vSlatk Tfrefcange ^ -- New York's commercial importance was established by the 18th century and as early as 1752 there was a general meeting place for merchants, known as the "Exchange." Prior to and during the Revolutionary war no security market existed there simply because practically no securities existed In America. Condition^ of the new Republican post - Revolution days necessitated new financial machinery. The earliest records of security marketing in New York are meager but traditionally stockbrokers met under an old buttonwood tree before what is now 68 Wall street. Later they gravitated into nearby coffee houses but there was no formal organization nor permanent headquarters. The first brokers' agreement! was signed May 17, 1792 Increased governmental debt after the War of 1812 produced such expansion of the purchase and sale of securities that the "New York Stock E*i-hangr board" was formed in 1817.

On some farms, drainage is necessary before such practices as terracing and strip-cropping can be satisfactorily employed, and good drainage & helpful to the best results from any soil-improvement or soil-building practice. Experts point out that the drainage of wet spots in cultivated fields is generally the most profitable type of drainage a farmer can use. Surface drainage is usually accomplished with shallow ditches that quickly remove water from the top of the ground. Tile drains are employed when under drainage is needed to remove excess water from the root zone of the soil. Emphasis in the AAA conservation program is laid on the importance of keeping ditches and drains clean and free from weeds, trash and sediment. > New Ideal Salt Box Keep salt clean in the barnyard or pasture by erection of box as shown in illustration.

DDT Proves Valuable In Dairy Fly Control r)ISGUSTED with his own cooking, Ctalfge angrily pushed his chair back with his foot. If only Anna weren't such a strange little foreigner, he thought impatiently, his meals wouldn't be so tasteless, and the burden of keeping house, in addition to many of the farrr chores, would fall on her instead of him. With the odor of the barn stir clinging to his clothes, he walked the short distance to the next farrr. to see Anna and speak to her cousin. Without knocking, he went into the living-room. The woman looked up from her mending indifferently, as if his visits were too frequent for him to be considered a guest. "Hello, George. You'll find Anna in the kitchen." "Have you spoken to her yet, Mrs. Laud?" he asked. "Well," Mrs. Laud said slowly, "1 tried to, only she didn't--seem to know what I was getting at." She paused thoughtfully. "Seemed more that she pretended not to." "I see," he said wearily. "I did tell her what a fine, honest man you are. But her. only ambition right now is to visit a fortune te"llAer ." She laughed indulgently. fortune teller?" _ "Yes. Can you imagine? She believes in them. You see, in Europe a gypsy once read her palm. And Anna said that everything came true. Of course,; I imagine little Anna helped out a lot by twisting everything that happened to her into the shape of that faker's prediction." They talked a while longer about Anna, who was only twelve when the "I want see fortune teller." Germans invaded her country,- and how Mrs. Laud managed to get her to Canada. George had often heard the story before. Soon he went into the kitchen. He leaned against the wall, faded blue overalls sagging •n his awkward thin frame; his long neck tipped forward, his blond, sundried hair hanging over dull blue eyes. As Anna washed the dishes George could almost see the dreams in her large eyes--dreams of a modern knight riding in the wind with her, the long thick braids of her hair ^flying behind her. Her eyes sparkled. "I want see fortune teller." "What for?" "I waht find out who my husband be." Suddenly he had an idea, and he was overwhelmed by own cleverness. What had Mrs. Laud said a little while ago? "She believes in them . . . little Anna helped out a lot. . . she sure does swear by them now." His red face brightened with enthusiasm. After all, he thought, they would probably be married some day, anyway. No harm in hurrying things upt a bit. "There's an amusement park fifteen miles from here," he told her. On the bus Anna sat quietly in anticipation. George saw her lower her wide eyes modestly when she noticed the men staring at her shy loveliness, glances, s chief ou away thl cousin I A 5 per cent suspension of "water dispersible" DDT powder is used to spray eows that aie kept in open air stalls.

At the park 4he walked close to him, asking every few minutes where the fortune teller was located They came to a row of booths un der a huge awning and he bought a ticket. "Wait here a minute," he said. "I'll be back soon." He told the fortune teller to de scribe him to Anna when she asked about hei*'future husband. He hand ed her some money. "Don't forget. Tall man, blond hair, blue eyes." Then he went out. "Yotf can go in now," he told Anna. While waiting for her, he laughed Anna wouldn't doubt the oracle for a minute, he thought, amused. When she came out, she looked as if she were in a trance. Her large shining eyes were focused straight ahead. He fell into step beside her. "Well, what did she say?" "Oh, she say wonderful things. She say I marry tall man. He have blue eyes with blond hair. Ahd ht be very good to me.
