they arc attractive In color and
arc palatable in ilavcr. A good
rule to follow is mix stronger
llavoicd greens with mild flav

Originally, the term “salad”
was a dish prepared from raw
greens simply dressed with oil
and seasoning. This might still
be called a true salad. But to
day, a salad is described as
any food or mixture of foods
garnished with a green salad
vegetable and seived with a
dressing
Some salad tossers feel that
vegetables like tomato, onion,
cucumber, carrot or celery
should be eaten from a relish
tiay. Others feel these color
ful. chopped vegetables add
much to the enjoyment of the
salad.
Whatever the combination of
foods, fiesh salads lend them
selves in as many ways as the
imagination can create dishes
to serve Salads are also easy
to prepare. _

Two important things
when borrowing money
You need a sharp pencil plus the specialized financial advice
of Farm Credit to determine how your financial needs can
best be served. Farm production must be maintained, even
increased if possible. Providing the financing to insure this is
Farm Credit's job. Farm Credit loans are available now for any
sound farm need. And, at realistic rates. Farm
Credit interest is based on the unpaid balance
of the loan. That saves you money.
