Nasturtiums are more
than pretty flowers; they
repel aphids from broccoli
and help potatoes; they shoo
away squash bugs and they
give radishes perfect flavor.
Cucumbers are No. 3
popular garden plants in the
U.S. (following tomatoes and
beans), but crops are so
bountiful that if you do not
plan m advance what to do
with them, you’ll be in a
pickle.
Turkish sweet bay is an
interesting house plant, as
well as a flavoring aid for the
cook.
The Almanac, published at
Lancaster since 1825, is filled
with facts and folklore in
multitudes of brief articles.

In its American An
niversary section, it notes
that the Revolutionary War
ended in 1781 with the
surrender of Cornwallis;
that Cyrus H. McCormick

Another project discussed
was the “Cheese Adds A
Slice of Life” m which the
supermarkets and cheese
companies have responded
much better than hoped for.
There is a projected in
crease m sales of 10 percent
which would amount to 80
million pounds of cheese.
The supermarkets claim a
projected increase of 20 to 25
percent is more realistic.
There were reports on
other projects in which the
pilot programs have proven
very successful but funds
were not available for full
scale promotion.
