B—Lancaster Farming, Friday, Sept. 14. 1956
For the
Farm Wife and Family
It’s tomato time, peach time
a wonderful time, when Lan
caster County comes into har
vest; when the produce of the
field and garden move to the
cellars, into canning, or fresh
on the table.
It’s cooking time, too, and we
have a heap of recipes to cover
this week. One of the best buys
right now seems to be sweet
corn, one of the best dishes you
can serve. There are pumpkins
by the score, and the color is
light beautiful.

we all like:
BAKED TOMATOES
Mrs. Gideon Stoltzfus
Take six firm, ripe tomatoes.
Cut steam end out and with a
teaspoon scoop out the pulp. To
pulp add one chopped green
pepper, one chopped onion, a
lew slices fried bacon. (Bacon
can be omitted). Salt to taste.
Add enough bread crumbs to
absorb juice. Mix well and stuff
back into shells. Top each toma
to with a dash of ketchup. Bake
in 400-degree oven about 30
minutes and serve hot.
These tomatoes stay very nice
for winterjn your deep freezers,
Mrs Stoltzfus adds, Last summer
I baked some in foil pie pans,
covered with Sam Wrap. When
snow was on the ground, all
that was needed to be done was
take them from the freezer and
heat in a hot oven. However,
the acid of the tomatoes ate tiny
holes m the foil pans, so if you
want to keep them long, better
put them in other plates.
Hope I have done a good
deed for tomato farmers. We
raise potatoes, Mrs. Stoltzfus
tells, adding, “I enjoy your
paper.”.
With pumpkin time soon here,
writes Mrs Rufus Shelly of R 3
Manheim, 1 would like to give
you, a recipe which has given
me many compliments.

they turn out for me. Here

hints that others might like

you asked for a Funeral Pie.
Here’s my favorite receipe for

Heralding the fair season that extends through the fall

chopped celery Fill tomatoes
and put a teaspoon of mayon

There’s always room for
fun, and, according to Mrs.
Stottlemyer, “This is a cake
I’m sure you wouldn’t want
to start baking when you see
the ingredients. I found it in
a cookbook of my Grandmoth-
Two Children

Mr. and Mrs. Joel S. King, R 3

two miles west of Georgetown
in Bart Township. A smoke
house on the King farm was
destroyed, but the Bart Fire
company managed to save the
King home from all but slight
singeing of eaves and asbestos
siding.
According to Naomi Fisher,
aunt of the children, Mrs., King
and her mother, Mrs. Amos H.
Fisher, R 1 Ronks, had been can

house. A fire was blazing in the
stove.

The two women apparently
went into the kitchen of- the
house to fix supper for the rest
of the family, working in the
tobacco fields.
Left alone, the two children
apparently poured gasoline
from the can. Some of it ig
nited. Mrs. Fisher heard their
screams and jmlled them out
of the shed just before the
gasoline can exploded and the
shed blazed up.
The one child was rushed to
the hospital.
Bart township firemen, first
on the scene, said if they had
been 10 minutes later the house
would have gone up with the
shed.
The Quarryville Fire company
was railed but was not needed.
