Picnic Sandwiches
Hello Homemakers! We congratu
late the English on the inventiop{
about one hundred and fifty years ago,
of the sandwich a portable meal!
It was a certain English nobleman,
the Fifth Earl of-Sandwich, who ask
ed that a bread and meat concoction
be brought to his table in the recrea
tion room, so that he might not have
to leave the game.* * *
To-day we have the greatest variety
of sandwiches. They are served for
luncheons, afternoon tea, buffet sup-
spers and even for dinners — and of
course — for picnics. The sandwich
is indispensable. Picnic sandwiches
are cold (never toasted) and savory
enough to. take the place of a main
supper dish — or sweet enough to sub
stitute for dessert.
* * *
Picnic appetifies are likely to be big
— so plan your sandwiches according
ly. Use bread cut not too thin, or
large soft, rolls good enough to hold
any kind of hearey filling. It is often
wise to take along the supplies, and
let each person make up their own.
This saves lot of preparation, and
then everyone gets the kind of sand
wich desired. Sliced bread, softened
butter, a bag of crisped lettuce, sliced
meats, cheese spreads, salad dressing
or jars of any
easy to pack.
*
Directions for I
Sandwiches
1. For' individual sandwiches
the kind of fillings that will not soak
into the bread.t Do not expect crisp
fillings to remain so for very long, in
warm weather.
2. Whenever' possible pack crisp
foods separately — pieces of celery,
head of lettuce, new carrot strips
, wrapped in wax paper. These will be
better to eat after several hours, than
if included in the fillings.
3. Remove crusts of leave on de
pending -on occasion or preference.

4. Spread with softened butter,

salad sandwiches).

pork, lamb, veal, tongue, fowl, liver,
bacon or bologna. Slice, chop or
grind the meat, and use with mustard,
relish, salad dressings, catsup, meat
sauces, and with pork — applesauce.

soned, except when they are to be eat
en by children.)

THE WEED OF THE
WEEK — CHICORY
Chicory is fast becoming one of the
most objectionable of the perennial
weeds found in Ontario, says John D.
MacLeod, Crops, .Seeds and Weeds
Branch, Ont. Dept, of Agriculture,
Toronto. Introduced from Europe
years ago, it was grown to a limited
extent as a cultivated plant for its
roots which were ground and mixed
with coffee.
Today it is one of the most trouble
some weeds to be found on roadsides,
fence lines, vacant places and occas
ionally in cultivated fields. Chicory is
bright blue in color; has leafless much-
branched stems bearing numerous
clusters of flower heads on the naked
branches. The flowers are about one
inch across and usually closed by
noon. The leaves are long with irreg
ular edges spread along the ground.
The roots are thick and go dowm
deep. That is why it is necessary to
plow deep with a sharp share so that,
all roots will be cut off well below the-
crown. Thorough cultivation should
follow at regular intervals using wide,
shares which overlap in the cultivator..
Cultivation and a short rotation of.'
crops will control this weed, \ ;
Chicory can be eradicated 100 per
cent with chemicals at costs which are
not prohibitive. This method is re
commended where cultivation is not
possible. Mr. MacLeod advises con
sultation with- your nearest Agricul
tural Representative or Weed Inspec
tor regarding use of chemicals. Write
