From Goulash to Garbage!
When’s the last time you used
your paprika? Develed eggs per
haps? Just how old is it anyway?
These questions have been
prompted by a caller faced with a
most embarrassing situation. Din
ner for the family (luckily, not for
company!) was to be an easy cas
serole. Before cooking, paprika
was added according to the recipe
and dinner was ruined. It never
made it to the oven because of the
Indian Meal Moth larva in the
spice.
So much for that meal! This
little bug and another critter, the
cigtarctte beetle, love spices.
That’s why the Pennsylvania

Department of Agriculture sug
gests that spices should not be
kept on the shelf for longer than
three years.
According to Carol Wagner,
home economist for John Wagner
& Sons Purveyors to Epicures
since 1847 in Ivyland, ground
spices lose much of their strength
after six months anyway. The
McCormick®/Shilling®
(800-632-5847) folks give paprika
and many other spices a shelf life
of only two years and suggest that
paprika be refrigerated. <
The only safe way to get rid of
spice bug infestation is to locate
all of them and discard or destroy

Conrad Weiser FFA Supports
Reintroduction Of Elm Trees
The Conrad Weiser High
School FFA is doing its part to
preserve an American symbol.
Through the dedication of its stu
dents, the American dm tree is be
ing given a second chance.
The American elm has long
been a part of American history.
Often the meeting place of the
Sons of Liberty, the elm was dub
bed the Liberty Tree after August
176 S when effigies were hung
upon an elm tree in Boston to pro
test the Stamp Act
The dm soon grew in popular
ity, lining the streets of many
American cities, until the 1930 s
when Dutch Elm Disease (DED),
also known as “the blight,” began
to wreck havoc upon the trees.
The DED fungus, carried by
American and European elm bark
beetles, destroyed the trees, killing
them within months or years.
Since the beginning of the DED
devastation spreading throughout
America, more than 90 percent of
the millions of elms which once

were prominent have now died.
One of the many attempts to in
crease elm tree numbers in the
United States was the develop
ment of the Liberty Elm, a cultivar
augmented by Eugene Smalley
and Don Lesher of the University
of Wisconsin at Madison. The
Liberty elm was the result of ex
tensive research and testing which
led to the selection of six Ameri
can elms that survived injections
of DED. The collection of these
elms became the Liberty elm.
The Conrad Wciscr FFA ob
tained the elms from the Elm Re
search Institute, a nonprofit or
ganization located in Harrisvillc,
N.H., the sole distributor of the
Liberty Elm. Members of Conrad
Weiser’s FFA have been regularly
caring for the trees in the Ag De
partment’s elm nursery in order to
distribute them to the community.
The students hope that you will
be interested in purchasing an elm
tree at this prime time for planting.
Prices for 3- to 5-foot elms are
$3O, and for 6- to 9-foot elms $75.
If you have questions or would
like to place an order, please call
the Ag Science Department at
(610) 693-8537.
