Pilgrims' Did Not Like The Turkey N spite of the statements of popru lar historians roasted turkey with giblet gravy and with cranberry or apple sauce was a very popu lar Sunday and holiday dish In many places many years before turkey be came standardized as the central dish of the Thanksgiving day dinner in Plymouth colony and among the Puri tans and their descendants settled along Boston bay and the north shore of Massachusetts. The story that turkey was the main stay of the Thanksgiving 'ay dinner of the early colonists of Netv England seems to have come from the pen of a visiting Englishman at Plymouth, who described his travels in a book publish ed in London just after the great tire. le also told the absurd story of the starving condition of the pilgrims and of their being reduced at one time to a dinner of three gralis of corn. The fact was that none of the early or late colonists could have starved at Plym outh or elsewhere along the north or the south shore, as the sea teemed with fish and shellfish and the woods were alive with game. As late as thir ty years ago Brant Rock and Marsh. field, near Plymouth. Mass., were re sorted to by hundreds of hunters of wild birds, and to this hour deer and wild bird shooting is good in Plymouth county. What the pilgrims and the Puritans craved in the early years of their settlements were roast beef and nut ton, pork, wheaten, oaten and barley bread, venison pasties made from the red deer stock, native to England; jams and jellies from English fruits preserved with brown sugar from the orient and English inead, ales and Iol land spirits. Most of them disliked Indian corn in all forms of products for human consumption, and they (hIs liked oysters, clams, lobsters, mussels, scallops, turkeys and native venison. It was only when marriages of the early English settlers and their de scendants In New England with In' dians brought about many persons of mixed blood that the English preju dices against certain native American food products passed away. To this day English travelers find some of our foods which we consider delicious strange to their palates. Matthew Ar nold, traveling in America, was asked to taste griddlecakes. "try them, my dear," he said to his wife; "they're not nearly so nasty as they lookl " As lately as fifty years ago many families in New r England of undoubted descent from the pilgrims and Puri tans regarded roasted or baked turkey as an Indian dish and would have none of it at any time, preferring for Thanksgiving day dtmer roast beef, a saddle of mutton, pork spareribs, roast goose with apple sauce or farm raised ducks with barberry sauce. The wild turkey was saved from extinction In New England only because the farm era noticed that those birds and the partridges served well in ridding the farm lands of Insects and weeds. An Old Time ThanksgivIng Sentiment. The day, the joyful day, recommend ed by the illustrious Washington has dawned which invited united America religiously to celebrate the goodness of God-the happy fruits and effects of one of the most memorable revolu tions recorded in all history, a revolu tion, considered in its rise, progress and speedy termInation without a precedent, at once exhibiting such a phenomenon in the political world as has attracted the eyes of all civilized nations and attended with such a se ries of providential interpositions as might well astonish disinterested spec tators, confound the infidel and en rapture the saint; a revolution in favor of civic andl relIgious liberty which in Its principles has gIven a fatal shock to tyranny and oppression in general, a glorious revolution which spake into political existence our national r'epub) lie, now rising with rapid1( pr1ogress to meridian glory.-iltenjamin WVadswvorth at Danvers, Mases., 171)5.

ORU NGEBURO FINDS WHEAT IS GOOD CROP Farm Demonstration Agent Thinks Muoh WIU Be Planted in County This Year. Orangeburg, Nov. 14.-Wheat grow ing in this section has proved to the farmers of Orangeburg county that there is a considerable saving to be realized through its cultivation and that it can be grown to great advan tage throughout this section. L. S. Wolfe, farm demonstration agent, has been asked if there would be as much wheat planted in Orange burg county this fall as there was last year, when it was taken up more as an experiment than for any other purpose. Mr. Wolfe said that he ex pected to see fully as much wheat sown this year as there was last year, though no one farmer would put in a very great quantity of wheat, but that the combined acreage through out the entire county will be fully equal to that of last year, if not larg er. Mr. Wolfe pointed out the advan tages of a farmer making his flour at home, and said that this was the main objectof the farm demonstration work, to teach and show the farmers how to make those crops at home which would enable hii to live with out buying his food supplies and oth er things. Considerable attention will be paid to the planting of rice in this county, the experiment of wheat having proved so successful, that another step is to be taken whereby it is hoped to induce the farmers to pro duce their own rice at home, which will result in another great saving. In speaking of the plan to have the ofilce of the secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce and Agriculture the headquarters for the farm demonistra tion agents, Mr. Wolfe said that it was working satisfactorily. lie pointed out that the fariers are glad to know that there is a dell nite place and oflice hours where they can consult with the agents. A large number of farmers have called upon the demonstration agents since they have had their headquarters at the oflice of the secretary of the Chain ber of Commerce and Agriculture.
