The Wingham Advance-Times, 1946-11-07, Page 8RAPII 13 13111. TIP d;" 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.
