MRS. HINSHAW HAS
OWN RIPE TOMATOES
Ripe tomatoes have been gath-
ered daily by Mrs. C. O. Hinshaw
of Panhandle H. D. Club since
July 10 from her garden. This
early producing variety is the
Denmark which is one of the four
varieties recommended by the
Woodward experiment station.
Mrs. Hinshaw reports that the
fruit is thick on the vine and that
it set fruit well during the hot
weather.
Gather tomatoes slightly under-
ripe and allow them to ripen in
the shade. This will help in get-
tng ahead of the chickens and
birds, and the fruit really ripens
more evenly this way.

4 -H CLUB MEETS WITH

‘We made a spread that cost
us 70c,; Jean and Joan Hinshaw

son’s.
Pale blue feed sacks were wash-
ed and sewed together. A geome-

service.

Your Safeguard to Health
With rationing a daily concern of
everyone, all emphasis is placed
on conserving food. Your electric
refrigerator conserves food not
only by protecting it from mold,
yeast and bacteria that causes
spoilage, but also by keeping it at
the right temperature to preserve
nuriiiious vitamins and minerals,
particularly in vegetables.
For the health of your family,'
FOUR THINGS YOU SHOULD
WATCH:
^—For highest efficiency, defrost whenever ice forms to thick-
ness of a quarter of an inch.
2—Keep temperature regulated between 40 and 50 degrees.
g—Follow directions for proper placement of foods, keeping
them in covered dishes.
£ —On older models, keep motojrs clean and properly-oiled,
and keep radiators clean,
