Adding organic matter to the soil and then going to raised beds has been the most sue cessful in solving these problems. To make a raised bed, spread two or three inches of organic matter such as sawdust, ground bark, leaves, or clipped pruning materials may be used. If the organic materials are composted, so much the better but it is not a necessity. The four foot wide beds are separated by 12 to 14 inch paths and shoveled down to rototilling depth. As soil is removed from the paths and added to the depth, there will be 8 to 12 inches of loose, well drained soil that will warm rapidly and permit excellent plant growth. With the natural slope of soil, about three feet of bed area can be planted with closely spaced for maximum vegetables production. Retaining walls are not needed. When a raised bed is used the best way to irrigate seems to be a drip system. There are a lot of different types of drip systems. I will try to get one of the more common ones for these raised beds. Using a drip irrigation system all makes it so we can use the plastic mulches for weed control. Using mulches also helps to conserve water as well as warming the soil for earlier spring planting. By using these techniques, we can do some double cropping for greater production in a small amount of space. Drop by the Extension Office if you would like more information on raised beds or if more specific information of chemicals that are recommended for use on the gardens. We have quite a number of pamphlets giving information about garden and farm pests and diseases and when and how to treat these problems. Quite a number of the problems we are seeing now in fruit trees now needed to be. treated last fall or in the early spring or bud stage.

Strawberries top cheesecake pie By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Press Food Editor . American cooks began to be strongly interested in baking cheesecake pies in the 1940s. Not only did the dessert taste delectable, but it was easier to prepare and less expensive than baking large cheesecakes in springform pans. At first these cheesecake pies were unadorned. Later cooks added toppings of fruits and glazes. Of these, perhaps the most widely welcomed was the one made with fresh strawberries and a jelly glaze. Its still as good a combination as we discovered as it was when we tried the following recipe. The crust called for here is made with graham crackers, butter and sugar in plentiful amounts and makes a thick shell. When we baked the pie on the rack below the center in our electric oven, the top layer of crumbs on the rim became a little too brown. But because there were a lot of crumbs, they werent missed when we after baking d lightly brushed off the pie-pla- te over-bake- ones. By the way, its good to know that the strawberry jelly used for the glaze is widely available in supermarkets.

The difference lies in the addition of . both cooked mashed potato and shredded raw potato to the batter. They are interesting and delicious. You may enjoy serving them, as I do, for breakfast with eggs and bacon. Have lots of good strong hot tea on hand, the way the Irish would make it. These pancakes are also delicious for a light lunch or with meat, poultry or fish for dinner. The last time we made them we had some left over. Next day we cut them in about inch strips and fried them in butter. I relished them this way as much as the first timeround.

Gradually stir in enough milk to make a soft batter. Melt a generous amount of extra butter in a large heavy skillet; add heaping tablespoons of the batter, well apart; fry over moderate heat, turning as necessary, until cooked through and browned on both sides. Today, however, says Thomas AP Newsfeatures Americans shopping for may find it a refreshing experience in the coming months. Indications at the recently furconcluded niture market in High Point, N.C., are that consumer wishes are being taken into account by manufacturers eager to convert an upturn in housing construction into more sales for new furniture. Manufacturers of wood furniture have tended to divide it furniture semi-annu- al each style category. Typically these include:' American or European traditional, French, in 18th-centur- oriental ' and y, con- temporary. When sales in one style start to go down, it is usually considered time to offer something new in that classification. G. Tilley, sales manager traditions of division the of Makes 14. Thomasville Furniture Industries, some companies are taking a new approach. Instead of giving people more of what they dont want and arent buying, they look for what is selling to develop new furniture. Thomasvilles new American group shown at the market (which introduces the new styles for the coming season to retailers and the press) was created after analysis showed that the companys sales of country furniture have more than doubled in the last three years. The Santa Fe collection combines Spanish, English and country Mexican design themes. Some pieces carry the themes romance, while others would go with almost any medium-brow- n wood furniture.
