For the
Farm Wife and Family
As we look outside we see the
last few leaves slowly making
their way to the ground, we see
flowers, bereft of their beauty
and sweat fragrance by the cool
weather, bending to the ground
We hear the cornpicker rum
bling through the cornfields
These things assure us that fall
is pushing into winter and the
busy holiday tune is about to
descend We hope you’ll find
some recapes on these pages to
help you enjoy the season all the
more.

Won’t you share some of yours
with us’ How about some recipes
for relishes, salads, breads, des
serts, candies, special ways with
vegetables, etc ’
It happens all the time.
Someone sends us a nice let
ter with some recipes enclosed
and forgets to sign her name.
This reader, from R 2, Cones
toga, also sent along her sub
scription to the Lancaster
Farming. We hope she will
recognize this letter and send
us her name so that she will
receive the paper. Here is her
letter:
