Ida’s Notebook Ida Risser August is the last chance for many families to take a vacation this year. Many people head for the seashore while others go to the mountains. This year our son and his children from Georgia visited us for several days. It seems that the children are anxious to play on the farm and even ran there before breakfast. Later on they got a bicycle to cover the one half mile distance.

During the Agnes flood in 1972, it was covered with six feet of water and when it receded there were mounds of sand every where. At one time a nearby field was used to grow melons for the neighborhood This year I raised a water melon with a bright yellow skin and red flesh. There are also dark green round ones and oblong green striped ones It is nice to have enough to share them with another family. In the early 1900 s when my father-in law worked his way to the west coast, he had a job camping in a melon field to protect it from marauders at night. We have a picture of him and his tent TUNKHANNOCK (Lycoming Co.) The Food and Drug Administration recently approved sucralose, a new sweetener that is 600 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). Even though the sweet ener is made from sucrose, it doesn’t provide any calories and won’t increase a person’s blood sugar The process in which sucrose is converted to sucralose results in a sweetener that is not absorbed into the blood stream The white crystalline powder will be available in tabletop jackets very soon and will be found as an ingredient in pre pared foods within a few YORK York Tractor Inc 2397 Carlisle Road (717) 764-1094 MARYLAND CHESTERTOWN W N Cooper & Sons Inc Route 291 (888)333-7348 (410)778-3464 NEW JERSEY BRIDGETON Farm-Rite, Inc 122 Old Cohansey Road (800)752-6373 (609)451-1368 ELMER Roork’s Farm Supply Inc 163 Route 77 (609) 358-3100 MOUNT HOLLY.
