EXTENSION NOTES
By Lew E. Hanks
It seems summer is drawing
to a close. There was a slight
touch of frost in the Valley last
week. Damage was negligible ac
cording to reports but it’s a
sign of what’s coming. It’s also
a sign of Fair time. Signs point
toward a bigger and better Ma
tanuska Valley Fair. Premium
books are being distributed.
The all Alaska 4-H Fair at An
chorage August 26, 27, 28, is all
set as a warm-up to our Valley
Fair. It will feature 4-H Exhibits,
judging, demonstrations and
tractor driving contests. It will
be well worth attending. There
will be a green house tour on
August 26, at the Experiment
Station Research Building in Pal
mer. Dr. Marlin Babb and Dr.
Richard B. Foley will explain
green house culture, pruning,
varieties and diseases at that
time. This tour is for those pri
marily interested in green house
production either home or com
mercial.
The election ballots for the
1956 Palmer A.S.C. committee are
in the mail. This committee di
rects the distribution of the pay
ments for conservation practices
installed. When you receive your
ballot, mail it or drop it into the
I extension bervice in maimer, rne
A.S.C. program has also been re
opened to include payment for
breaking new land. Even if you
have already signed up for clear
ing land you may now also re
ceive payment for breaking
land and picking roots.
Speaking of clearing land, the
perennial problem of bedding for
dairy stock is always with us.
The Palmer Soil Conservation
Sub-district still has a wood
chipper for rent. Get out during
any slack time you have and
slash a lot of that small timber
standing around. Let it lie with
the leaves on for a few weeks,
then rent that chipper and get
yourself a big pile of dry wood
chips for bedding. That’s a lot
easier and cheaper than trying
to haul sawdust out of a muddy
road next winter.

Harriet Kepler’s home Sept. 13.

Notes j
By Marylou Rideout
Here is a refreshing drink to
help combat our hot summer
days.
Bohemian Tea
Mix juice of 3 lemons with 1%
cups sugar. Cut rind of 2 lemons
in pieces, add 3 cups water.
Bring to a boil. Remove from
heat and add 3 tablespoons of
black tea. Let stand 20 minutes.
Strain, then mix with lemon
juice and sugar. Dilute with ice
and water to make one gallon.
Delicious!
If you have an abundance of
rhubarb and are at a loss to know
what to do with it,—after giving
to those who are not so fortunate
to have rhubarb—then to help
you, you need bulletin F-22,
“Rhubarb Cultivation, Food Val
ue, Preparation and Preserva
tion.” Thirty-two recipes. Here is
a new use of rhubarb:
Rhubarb Jam
Five cups finely cut rhubarb.
Cook until tender over hot water
(double boiler). Do not add any
water to rhubarb. When tender,
add 3 cups of sugar. Stir gently
until sugar is dissolved. Remove
irom lire ana add one package
of strawberry flavored gelatin
and stir until dissolved. Pour in
to jars and seal.
Rhubarb sauce need not be
stringy if cut fine, cooked in
double boiler, add no water.
Cook only until tender. Add sug
ar just before removing from fire.
Rhubarb may be prepared for
canning this way also.
If you wish to make currant
jelly, now is the time to pick
currants—before they are too
ripe. One secret of good jelly
making is not to make too large
a batch at one time. Good qual
ity jelly means, clear color, flav
or characteristic of the fruit,
transparent and sparkling, quiver
when removed from mold, tend
er enough to cut, firm that ang
les retain their shape. Currant
jelly really is easy to make, due
to its natural pectin content.
Now don’t go boiling juice to
destroy pectin, and flavor. Here
is a recipe that is easy and will
give you a currant jelly with a
good jelly quality and not just
thickened fruit juice!
Currant Jelly
Prepare 4 lbs. or more cur
rants. Add not more than 1 cup
Ths Hunters Holiday
Oh here’s to the hunter!
The breed we know best
Will welcome the autumn
With vigor and zest.
Along in July
He oils up his gun
Begins target practice
Oh brother, what fun!
The first week in August
His bed roll is made;
His camera is loaded;
His plans are well laid.
Days drag by ’till finally
’Tis time to depart.
The hunters are thrilled
(And confused) ’till they start—
A jubilant crowd
As they take to the hills,
Eager for camping
And all of its thrills.
»
The time they’re away
We’ll not even relate,
It rained every night,
Up early, to bed late.
And then home again
Leg weary, foot sore.
So tired that \ye wonder
How they got to the door.
They’ve brought home their
J trophies,
Their kill or their gains,
And each one is laden
With severe aches or pains.
Oh here’s to the hunter*
His lot may best,
But if it’s o.k. with you,
I'll slay home and rest!
