THE WINGHAM ADVANCE,TIMES Thursday, November 7, 1946 foA:Gg ti OW
By ligne J. *Ole
Coming out of the house the other
day I slipped some salt into a twist of
paper. I had a sudden hankering for
some ripe tomatoes off the vines. I
hunkered down and selected, a big one,
bit into it, poured on some -salt and
thoroughly enjoyed. mayself, It's straw-.
ge, but true that you can pick toma-
,toe.s right, from the vines . and take
them into the house and cut them UP
and eat them then but somehow or.
other the taste can't compare with
what you get when you swipe them off
the tines,
We always had plenty tomatoes at
home. The. only time my mother .eyee
complained was when she. was all set
to make chili sauce or pickles only to.
discover that the vines had.been raided
of the choice ripe tomatoes. She was,
pretty proVoked as I recall it one tittle,
after having nursed along a handsome,
bush of those small, yellow tomatoes
only to discover that my brother and
I haying had a taste of 'them, cleaned
the bush up completly of ripe ones.
There are a lot of things around
that farm. that taste good when , fresh.
Just take for instance those first few
hills of potatoes a fellow digs in the
spring. Wash them off and tumble
them into' a pot and then take saMand-
pepper and butter to them, hides and
all, Could a king find a finer :delicacy
anywhere,
Along about this time of year here's
another taste thrill. If I keep on us-
ng words like that I'll sound like one
of those fellows on the radio, As I
was saying however, take along about
this time of year and pick a night
when there's just a threat of frost. It
helps a lot if you have a full moon
and a few skifts of 'cloud up in the
sky. Pick up a few fellows and maybe
some of the women folks and go back
to the corn patch.
Start a big, roaring fire arid put a
kettle over it and then husk some corn
and throw it in the pot along with a
handful of salt. Sit around and talk
and wait for awhile in the warmth of
the fire .and then take some salt and
pepper and butter to that and 'you've
got something that tastes pretty darn-
ed good.
If I keep on like this I am going
to make myself hungry all over again
and supper only two hours past. I
guess farmers are pretty lucky. in spite
of everything. Sometimes I think-we
overlook the things we have right here
on the farm. It reminds me of the
"fellow I saw 'the other day. at Tinattur,
phy's store He sold Tim an eleven
cittart 'basket of .tomatoes and then
bought two tins. of. canned tomatoes.
He said 'he 'didn't like the taste of
fresh tomatoes 'from the.garden.
Q:—What is the ceiling price of comb
honey?
A:—The maximum price at which
anyone may sell honey in a standard
. wooden comb' honey section of 4 114
by 4 114 inches or of four inches by
five inches is '40 cents a section.
Q:—When there is such a shortage of
soap in Canada why do we export it
to Newfoundland and other count-
'ties?
A:—Under trade agreements which
have been in existence for many
years Canada-made soap is exported
to the British West Indies. New-
