By LEE A. SOMERS . (Sxtttjion Vtrettklt Sptcitlitt, '....... Univtnity tl IWntit.Ctllttt Qt Atrieultutt.) Thousands of bushels of tomatoes which go to waste each autumn be­ cause the earlier frosts come be-' fore the later set of fruits has had time to ripen fully could be saved if picked and cared for properly. These early frosts catch tomatoes ip all stages of growth and ripen­ ing. Some are nearly ripe, and some are half-red, pink-blue, white­ nosed, while some are still grass- green. When the first frosts are coming, 'growers should pick the tomatoes and store them in a basement or some other place safe from frost where they can be spread out to mature. The grass-green tomatoes will never ripen and should" be used in making chow-chows and piccalillies of various kinds and pickled toma­ toes in various forms. If not used in a few days, they will shrivel and become worthless. The nearly ripe, half-red, pink- blue and white-nosed tomatoes will complete the ripening processes in - the order named, and in so doing will lengthen, the tomato season about three weeks. The nearly ripe specimens will ripen fully with nor­ mal color,, flavor and texture over a period ranging from a few days to , a week or more. The half-red tomatoes will ripen - to* a nearly normal red color, a fair flavor and only slightly rubbery texture in 10 days or two weeks. The pink-blue and white-nosed specimens will ripen yellow-red, and with poorer flavor and a rubber texture, char­ acteristics of artificially ripened to­ matoes. Some of them will need to be discarded because they are shriveled. If frost has already killed the ten­ der vines and leaves, it is still pos^ sible to salvage that part of the crop which has had some protection from the vines and leaves. * •F arm T opics USE FIREWOOD THIS WINTER Many Farms Are Installing . Wood Burners. * Electricity Boosting Farmers’ Efficiency Electricity, a powerful and relatively new.tool on the farm, is speeding, the efficiency of farm­ ers in the current drive to strengthen* national defense. Many farmers have been using this servant in their work for the past five or six years. They are now broadening its use. Others who have used it in only a small way for household pur­ poses are applying it to farm jobs and finding it the easiest, quickest, and cheapest way of doing* their larger chores. ' In dairying, it milks the cows, cools the milk, pumps the water, grinds the feed, heats the water, and sterilises the utensils. On the poultry farm, it broods chicks, heats the drinking fountain, lights the laying house, grinds the .feed and pumps the water. , For the truck grower, it heats the plant bed, pumps water for irrigation, operates a spray pump, provides refrigeration and ice at marketing time, operates a grader, a washer, a sacker, and a loading machine, and in the case of sweet potatoes, supplies heat for curing and storing. Principal causes of failure of elec­ tric motors on forms have been over­ loading, poor or insufficient lubrica­ tion, worn bearings, improper cir- . cuit protection, lightning and operat­ ing in dusty or wet surroundings. CHRISTMAS SEALS B , B. W. GRABBER (SxttMtle* Ftrutir, Sank Cvtlltt Stitt ColUft.) Indications point to >higher coal prices for the winter of> 1941-42 and farmers should prepare now for ex­ tensive fuelwood cuttings this win­ ter. Even if labor is available to mine sufficient quantifies of coal for do­ mestic purpose, it is questionable whether trahsportatipn facilities will be available.. This situation 1is bound' to create a greater demand for wood as fuel. The expanded fuelwood market should enable many farmers to dis­ pose of low-grade hardwood trees, not suited, for lumber or other com­ mercial purposes. The earlier the start is made In cutting, the moije nearly the wood will be. seasoned when the demand becomes active. Despite the advantages of in­ creased demand for wood there should be offered a note of warn­ ing. The slogan should be "Don’t Strip the Land.” A good cutting plan would bq:, Cut. the poorer species, such as scarlet oak, black­ jack oak, sourwood, black gum, hornbeam, etc. Cut crippled, crowd­ ed, or diseased trees of any species. Make use .of tree tops left from re­ cent sawmill operations.- It is a gobd' idea not to cut more than one-fourth of the total volume of timber in any one area of average hardwood stands. This will give a profitable harvest, and at the same time maintain an adequate stand of growing stock, I t can be safely predicted that numerous farm and urban residents will install automatic wood-burning stoves or heaters this fall. One city in the South installed 3,000 wood- burning stoves for heating resi­ dences, stores and other buildings in one year. Cross-Cut Wood Saw And Motor for $25 “It saws while you split” is sug­ gested as the ideajbehind the cross­ cut wood saw driven by a quarter- horsepower electric motor designed by H. L. Garver and Paul G. May, U. S. department of agriculture en­ gineers engaged in rural electrifica­ tion research, Material .for the out­ fit costs about $25 they estimate, in -1 eluding the motor. The bureau'of agricultural chemistry and engi­ neering has mimeographed the plan for distribution to those interested.. Wood is still the mainstay for fuel on .many, if ^not most, ffirms. The cross-cut saw operated by, two men is still in common use. The circular saw either requires-a considerable investment for an engine .or largo motor or a charge for custom saw­ ing. A man exerts about one-tenth horsepower on <s.uch1work and the engineers reasoned that a Quarter horsepower motor, might be substi­ tuted to operate the saw. It has automatic shut-off devices. Cakes Printed In Germany , A famous Christmas cake in Ger- many-is Aachen Printen, from which the English word "print” is derived. In the days before book-printing the' idea of imprint belonged to the bak­ ing business to express the making of patterns in cakes. Many of these cakes have figures representing the old gods Wotan and Thor._________ MERRY CHRISTMAS Protect Your Homo from Tuberculosis The Girl’s Society of Christian Service will hold their Chriatnuu meeting in the home of Ruth Irvine, Tuesday night.
