Foremost in any lawn,work is
Ito pick your seed wisely. More
seed is often sown than the
ground can support. On a square
Ifoot of ground, allowing-for some
loss, 8,000 seeds should supply
all the grass the soil can pos
sibly support. A pound qf Ken
tucky bluegrass will average well
over two million seeds. Check
the label before you buy Be
ware, we are advised, of “south
ern” grasses that may be planted
this spring, - thrive through the
summer, and die next winter

The Weed’s Mission
Tall grew a weed ‘outside a garden gate,
Inside a gladiole in splendor grew.
“Why do you with the autumn blossoms wait?”
The flower asked. “There -is no need of you. -
In truth, I know not why you live at all
Only a few, pale, yellow bloom's you bore ,
And worthless are your seeds. Pray, droop and fall,
I should not grieve at seeing you no more.
I grace the world, for evening’s brightest skies
Arg not more rich in gold and red than I -
And every day the’ ling’ring butterflies
Beg me to stay till they must say. ‘good-by.’ ” -
“Yes, you are beautiful,” the weed replied,
- In patient voice, “and I am plain indeed.
- But God knows why.” Just then a bird, bright-eyed
And scarlet-beaked, saw .the clust’ring-seed,
And lighting on a slender branch he ate,
With many a little chirp of thankful glee,
Then spread his wings and perched upon the gate,
And blessed his wayside friend in melody.
“Ah!” said the weed, when he had flown,
flower,
. A hungry, south-bound bird you could not feed
-Though you rejoice in Beauty’s gracious dow’r
That boon was granted to an humble .weed!”
in the orange farming business
since the war the King
Oranges, rough, zipper' skimfed,
not gogd looking but sure good
-eating. Then there’s a tangerine
orange cross, Tangelo, that is
being produced on tk limited
scale.
_ There’s never a more beautiful
sight than to travel through an
orange grove at the height of the
blossom season, a rich, heady
odor that .permeates everything,
as lasting as the gardenia or jas
mine. The colors are never to be
forgotten.
Every farmer has his troubles,
and one hurricane during the
war is well remembered. It
struck during the ripening sea
son, just before the fruit was to
be picked Next morning aft
er several hours of pounding
wind the ground was covered
with oranges, not yet ready for
market, good only for salvage-

Earlier we mentioned fish
and this being the Lenten season,
there is plenty of fish to use.
Fish is high-quality protein food
with valuable mineral and vita
min content. Fish from the sea
is a wonderful source of iodine.
Here are some tips from Mary
L. Mitchell, Chester county home
economist:
Plan to cook fish the day it is
purchased.
Frozen fish should be kept
frozen until ready for use, to
cook partially or completely
thawed.
Never refreeze fish.
Do not soak frozen fish in
water, or flavorful juices will be
lost-
Cook fish slowly.
Too often fish are over-cooked
And a household'hint on cook
ing fish:
To make the smell of
cooking fish more pleasant,
scorch a little brown sugar
or vinegar in a frying pan.
That’s about it for this week.
Keep your cards and letters com
ing, and again we’ll
See you,soon.
SELECT PANS
Select baking pans that are
slightly smaller than the oven
interior to allow free circulation
of hot air. It’s more convenient
to use two small pans which fit
side by side than one large pan,
says Sanna Black, Penn State
extension home management
specialist.
