BlO—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 18,1984
Gifts That Grew
In the days when people from
Europe were first settling in
America, there were many times
when they had very little food.
Luckily for the newcomers, some
American Indians showed them
how to use certain plants for food.
One of the first Indians to help
the newcomers was an Algonquin
(01-GON-kin) chief named
Massasoit (MASS-uh-soit).
Massasoit showed the Pilgrims
how to plant com, store it for
future use, and cook it. Today
when you eat com-on-the-cob,
combread, cop muffins, hominy,
or popcorn, you can thank the
Indians.
The Ojibway (o-JIB-way) In
dians of the Northeast showed the
Pilgrims how they tapped sugar
maple trees and made maple
syrup. Soon the Pilgrims were
enjoying this delicious treat too.
Other Indians introduced the
early settlers to rice, sweet
potatoes, pumpkins, sunflower
seeds, and many more plants.
Some of the settlers would never
have survived without these “gifts
that grew.”
4-H Beef Club
The February meeting of the
Hunterdon County 4-H Sheep Club
was held earlier this month at the
Rodenberger home in Pittstown.
Debbie Gengler, Melissa Yontz
and Gretchen Kuehn gave a
presentation on their 1983
Citizenship Washington Focus trip.
Committee reports and upcoming
events were discussed.
Members will visit the Somerset
Sheep Farm during their March
meeting.
