Ashes To Garden
This winter’s crop of ashes from
fireplaces, furnace or stove may help
next summer’s crop of vegetables,
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
suggests to Victory gardeners. Hard
wood ashes are valuable for ferti

special value in growing tomatoes on
heavy clay. The roots of tomato
plants have special need for well
aerated soil. New York State Scien
tists advise using a 2-inch layer of
screened hard coal ashes on silty clay
and working it in to a depth of six
inches or more. They cautioned
against soft coal (bituminous) ashes,

Frost Fallacies
Jack Frost has long received more
credit than his due for improving
the flavor of certain late fall vege-
I tables and fruits, according to the
J | U. S. Department of Agriculture,
ft | Parsnips as well as persimons, wild
S ! grapes and barberries for jelly-mak-
ft i ing are all generally believed to need
ft | frost for best quality but in the case
' of fruits, at least, frost may do more
harm than good.
Parsnips take on a sweet flavor
after freezing and for convenience
are often left frozen in the ground
all winter and used as needed, but
frost is not necessary for sweetness
in these vegetables. A cold storage
iplace has the same effect. At, a
temperature of 4-F. or below some of
the starch in parsnips turns to sugar
as it does in other starchy root vege
tables.
The belief that only frost or
freezing can remove the “puckeri-
ness’’ of persimmons causes many of
the best fruits to be wasted each
year because they ripen and fall be
fore frost. Actually the ripening: and
maturing of the fruit causes it to
lose its astringent tannin and be
come sweet flavored, and freezing
may damage the quality. As for
wild grapes or fox grapes, they are
better for jelly making before frost
while they are not quite ripe and
still acid.

Everybody seems hungry for
something sweet, so try this receipe:
SPICE LAYER CAKE
Measure into mixing bowl:
2 cups cake flour (sifted before
measuring*)
1 cup sugar
1-2 cup Crisco
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1-2 teaspoon cloves
1-4 teaspoon nutmeg
1-4 teaspoon allspice
1-4 teaspoon soda
1-2 cup milk
1-4 cup molasses
Stir vigorously by hand or with
mixer 2 minutes Now stir in (all by
itself) 2 teaspoons baking powder.
Now add:
2 eggs (unbeaten)
1-3 cup milk
Blend by hand or in mixer for 2
minutes. The batter will be smooth
and thin. Pour into two 9-inch layer
pans which have been rubbed with
Crisco and lined with waxed paper.
Blake in moderate oven 20-25 min
utes. When cool, frost and decorate
as desired.
Slicing bacon by hand, especially
when the cut is largely fat, has al
ways been an unwidely, difficult job,
even with the sharpest knife. Most
specialists of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture suggest hardening the
slab before slicing by storing it in
the freezing compartment of the re
frigerator. When chilled until firm,
bacon is easily cut into thin, even
slices.
A delicious way to sweeten break
fast grapefruit is to fill the hole in
the half, left by cutting out the
white center, with strained honey.
Then set the fruit in the refrigera
tor overnight. By breakfast time the
honey will have penetrated all sec
tions of the fruit, giving it even
sweetening and a delicate honey
flavor, say honey specialists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture. In
some of the more expensive restau
rants grapefruit prepared this way
is listed on breakfasts menues as
“Grapefruit supreme.”
