PURIT.9 OATS DRAMATIC STORIES FROM • EVERYDAY LIFE • IN GARDEN-GRAPH The home gardener who has a sup- ply of root crops can protect them against Jack Frost by burying them in a barrel or two out doors. It is an easy and economical way to assure a supply of fresh vegetables throughout the winter. Some gardeners sink several barrels into the ground, each containing a mix- ture of root vegetables, as illustrated in the accompanying Garden-Graph. Others put the vegetables into kegs, finding it more convenient to dig up a kegful. every couple of weeks. Select a sheltered, well drained spot for barrel or keg storage. A pit is dug so the container can be placed upright in it. When the vegetables are placed in the barrel or keg the top must be protected from rain, but, at first, it should be left open as long as safety from weather permits to' allow heat and moisture from the vegetables to escape into the air. As cold weather approaches, cover the vegetables lightly with straw, /10WiTtME oc vt TAB LES BARREL SUNK IN GROUND FOR HOME VEqETABLE STORAGe leaves, cornstalks or any other sim- ilar material. Cover to a depth suf- ficient to prevent, freezing in your par- ticular climate. When zero temperatures are expect- -ed, cover the straw topping with sev- eral inches of earth. Then cover with boards and pile leaves on top of them. This will protect against freezing, yet make it easy to excavate the vegetables as needed, A few simple rules to observe in the storing of vegetables are as follows: Vegetables should not be too old or too immature; do not handle them for storage when they are wet; do not store blemished vegetables for decay usually starts from bruises or skin punctures.

Once upon a time, witches, hobgoblins and other spirits of either evil or mischief were supposed to appear the last of October and these were feared and appeased, Lights, bonfires and torches were sup- posed to,,be hostile to these evil ones. The jack o'Lanterns of today are re- lics of ancient times. To this day the spirit of mischief is personified in the youngsteis who dress in ghostly costumes to frighten the timid. They ring door bells and tote away anything they have a mind to take. Entertaining at this time may be inexpensive, and it is a way to bring the children together and keep them out of mischief. (They should be warned of costly damage to "property in the •neighborhood. The numerous paper decorations on sale at stores can be used in many ways. Guests should be asked to dress in costume as it creates so much fun. A punch bowl, a stack of plates, cups, forks and spoons, gay orange and black napkins may be arranged on the table along with the serving dishes. This is the time when you can use the old iron pot for a hot dish, the old earthen jug for sweet cider, a clean basket for rolls and that sort .of- thing —providing you protect your table carefully with a pad. Gypsy atmos- phere is intriguing for this oecasion.
