Page Four THE McKINNEY WEEKLY DEMOCRAT -GAZETTE Thursday, Aug. 11, 1955. FARM PAGE "Return Something To The Soil--Or The Soil Will Turn Against You" With The Home Demonstration AGENT BY MRS. LURLINE DASPIT SALADS FOR SUMMER Fresh, colorful fruit or vegetable salads can be the most popular items at the table in hot summer weather. They are valuable nutritionally, too.

Here are a few pointers for giving summer salads more appetite appeal: Chill ingredients before using. Provide plenty of refreshing tartness in the salad or in the dressing. Tart French dressing is a good choice for vegetable salads the sweet clear French dressing for fruit salads. If you prefer mayonnaise or cooked dressing, make sure it is tart enough. Have greens crisp.

Wash, drain and Store in a covered container in the refrigerator ahead of time. Drain all canned food well before adding to a salad to prevent wilting and sogginess. Add dressing raw vegetables salad just before serving. Use only enough dressing to moisten ingredients. For tossed green salads, tear greens in fairly large pieces or cut with scissors instead of shredding.

Large pieces give more salad. Use lemon, lime or other citrus, or pineapple juice on fruits that may turn dark. To avoid monotony, vary salads from day to day. Here are some suggested combinations: Fruit Watermelon balls, peach slices, and orange slices. Peach and pear slices with halves of red plums Cantaloupe balls, seedless grapes, bananas, and plums.

Vegetable Shredded cabbage, cucumber cubes, celery, Grated carrots, celery, cucumber slices. spinach and lettuce with tomato wedges. APPLE PIE 5 to 7 tart apples to 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons flour 1-16 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1-4 teaspoon nutmeg 2, tablespoons butter Pastry. Pare apples and slice thin; add sugar mixed with flour salt and spices. Fill 9-inch pastry lined pie pan.

Dot with butter. Adjust top crust. Bake in hot oven (350 degrees about 30 minutes. If apples lack tartness, add 1 tablespoon lemon juice; grated lemon peel may also be added, if desired. PLAIN PASTRY 2 flour cups teaspoon salt 2-3 cup shortening 4-6 tablespoons cold water.

Sift flour and salt, cut in shortening with a pastry blender, two knives, or a blending fork until the pieces are the size of small peas. Add cold water slowly, tossing with a fork until all the flour coated bits of fat are barely dampened. Stop! Press together, lightly to form ball. Chill for easier handling. Roll pastry 1-8 inch thick, rolling lightly from center to outer edges.

Avoid running rolling pin over into board as it spoiles edges of paste. Transfer to pie pan. Lay it on loosely and push uot air between paste and pan. Finish edge as desired. Trick bottom and sides of the uncooked shell with a fork and bake in a hot oven (450 minutes." for approximately 15 TIMELY TIPS Instead of adding crumbs and baking the deviled egg mixture, serve it on toast or in party shells.

A SIMPLE FORMULA FOR A FURNITURE POLISH There are many good commercial furniture polishes on the market. If you wish to mix one yourself, Extension home management specialists offer a formula for a simple one which came from the Palace of Fine Aarts in Brussels. Mix equal parts of fresh lemon juice, denatured alcohol, olive oil and gum turpentine.

De not use substitues. Place in a bottle or far with a tight lid. This polish cleans and feeds the wood as well as polishes. It will not leave a gummy film or collect dust. For best results use a very small amount at a time.

Dampen a linteless cloth, such as a clean woolen cloth, with the mixture. Massage the furniture with this. ILn some places a piece of 3-0 steel wool moistened lightly with the polish works well, if you use it gently. When the polish has been rubbed into the wood, wipe the furniture with a clean, dry cloth. News From COUNTY AGENT By V.

L. DAHLBERG Bollworms, which have caused untold damage in many cotton fields this year reaching maturity this week and in some fields with previous heavy uncontrolled infestations the worms had disappeared. Don't be fooled, however, it may be the lull before the storm. We have had principally one generation starting after the rain of about weeks ago. These worms are no wreachin gmaturity, They enter the soil and go through a change and emerge in a few days as moths ready to start a new generation.

When this occurs please check those fields for bollworm eggs and small bollworms. If these can be found in sufficient numbers it is advisable to spray or dust. Bollworms that have reached one-half inch in length or more are impossible to control one to their habits of feeding inside of the cotton boll. Bolloweevils are also on the increase in, the county with many fields showing severe damage. These pests can only be controlled in the adult stage.

ROY F. HALL Mrs. Willa Largent, on North Church, evidently has a green thumb. Everything she plants in her yard, and a lot she doesn't plant, grow luxuriantly. Flowers and vegetables are scattered over all her yard, and her century plant iS now blooming.

It once was believed that this specie of the agave Americana showed its flowered once in a hundred years. It is now know that it blooms when about twenty-five, years old. That's the end of it. When it blooms it dies. Take a look at the plant, not many people ever get to see one in bloom.

George Knickerfill pronounced Nickerfeel was in town Saturday. Used to live here, and is moving back from California. I'll have a story on him and his name later. Saw a bunch of little colored boys down on Rockwall Street, last week and stopped to see what the excitement was. One of them had an ordinary spring clothes pin all taken to pieces.

Every time a boy came by he was stopped and a bet made that he could not put the pin together again. The wager was usually a penny, but seven had already tried and had paid off when I came up. Not one could do it. I was asked. to, try.

I finally did it but it took some deep study. Try this on your friends. It's tough. Saw a humming bird attack a jaybird out on my street the other day. The blue jay quit right now.

He flew off cutting all kinds of didoes to escape the deadly, needle-sharp bill of the humming bird. Those versed in bird lore claim that the humming bird can whip any bird living, If you ever see a fight like watch how the larger bird tries to protect his eyes as he- Jesse Bone is one who doesn't fool around with any little old two-weeks vacation.

He's gone now. Talking to a friend on the West side Saturday. I saw a Junior-High I boy and girl with their backs to the sidewalk looking in the Woolworth display windows. They saw nothing in the window. The young fellow would whisper sideways tor the girl; she whispered back.

In a few minutes they turned around, and as they did the young lady reached down and took his hand. Right there I saw an old-fashioned blush. The boy turned red and ap- mance are sure to create a lot of interest. Speakers at these sessions other than System personnel will include Max A. Blau, registered Hereford breeder of Follett; C.

On the same date last year it was 106. And too, by this time last year we had 30 days in which the temperature was over 100. This year we have had six, and at that they were barely over the century mark. Last year they were far over, one of them, July 25, was 112. By the way, I have done some rechecking of records and am advised by the Weather Bureau at Houston to the following effect, "The record of 118 degrees at McKinney, as reported by Observer E.

Pearl Skelton on that date is correct." This report by Mr. Skelton said that the temperature at McKinney on August 10, 1936, was 118 degrees, and it was 103 at 7:00 1 p.m. Mr. Skelton was the observer here at the time. So, instead of the 112 as I had stated, our highest was 118.

Most people remember that spell. This summer, so far, is right on normal. We are due more hot weather. but I believe we will have a summer acbelow normal. Man came to see me last week wanting to know something of the old Burris Mill.

Said he was going to write an article on it for paper. He had it that the first Burris Mill was the old Alliance Mill that stood North of the present ice plant. It wasn't. Burris was here much earlier. He first settled at Weston and came 'to McKinney and started a grist mill on the branch Northeast of McKinney on the Lower Bonham now the Woodlawn road.

Later ginned cotton there. He then built a huge frame mill on the West side of the railroad. This burned. The present Burris Milling Company came from these. The old, two-story Alliance mill was built in the early 1880s when the Alliance movement was at its height in Texas.

It was never successful. When the Collin County, Mill Elevator Company built it was the largest in Texas.

They may start infection in other parts fthe body. Strong, healthy teeth add attractiveness to appearance and personality.

Help your child to grow up with good teeth see that he has a dental examination twice a year. Sometimes children need glasses and their parents don't realize it. An examination by an eye specialist is important. A child who needs glasses, if taken to an eye physician now, will have time to get used to them school starts. When children are grouped together in a classroom, they expose each other to communicable discases.

Has your child been immunized against diphtheria and smallpox? Does he know he should use only his own drinking glass? Does he know he should avoid boys and girls who are victims of colds? Do you keep your child at home when he shows signs of a cold? Plenty of exercise and tion, the right kinds of foods daily, and 12 hours of sleep a night, are necessary for a child of elementary school age. Get your child an appointment for a check-up today the first day of school is not far away!
