For the
Farm Wife and
Starring This Week - Cherries
By Mrs. Richard C. Spence
George Washington certainly did his part to popularize
the cherry when he cut down a cherry tree
What could be more fit
ting than to have some spe~
cial cherry recipes featured
over this famous man’s birth
day. Our guess is that no
one is quite sure just what
kind of tree was cut down
so we are not limiting our
selves to any cne kind of
cherry.
