I dont remember having seen or heard it mentioned in any news. April 9 to 18 was National Artichoke week. we While were busily concerning ourselves with organizing clubs and other Important happenings, the observance of National Artichoke week was completely overlooked. So, this column is dedicated to National Artichoke week. Not having seen any Artichokes around recently, I would naturally suppose that the week has been set aside for the preservation of the pi ant. Actually, the only real artichoke patch I remember ever seeing was one that A. L. Cox had in his back yard when I was a kid. That was a miniture jungle. With a little imagination the Artichoke can be real versatile, for example, the stock can be put to several uses. To start with, the particular patch I knew of served, as a group, to make the coolest hiding place. There were specific trails J made through the plants; another part of the patch was confined entanglement and served to discourage IRAN STATE An - (LEADER J52 "VOLUME 58 d-- be walls and roofs of the rooms. Blended in with the rest of the patch,' it was most decieving to the outsider. The stalks also provided such necessary accessories as spears and arrows. Now, its been a long time since Ive eaten the root of an Artichoke, so maybe the tast I remember was only one an inquisitive boy would appreciate. But , as I recall, they were very good to eat. So, in between fighting and exploring the environment of the jungle, we would take time out to have an Artichoke. If there are any artichoke patches still remaining in the county Id be most happy to know about it. My curiousity prompts me to wonder if they still taste like they did when I was a kid.
