THE LEADER-TRIBUNE
THE PEACH BLOSSOM FESTIVAL.
(Continued from page 9)
the peach will be chosen as the favored
fruit. Before she begins her long journey
to the eager mortals of earth, veiled
Destiny will appear and will read from
the Scroll of Fate the mission of tho fruit
whose beauty of blossom and luseiousness
of flavor shall bring delight to countless
millions the wide world over. As she
lingers, golden sunbeams and lovely rain¬
drops will dance about her; then the four
winds will waft her on her long journey.
To China and Japan, to Indian and Porsia,
and to all the countries of the earth she
will travel. I 11 every land, she will be
clothed in native fashions, but always the
color will be pink. Miss Charlie Mathews,
graceful and vivacious high school girl,
will play the leading role of the peach.
Over thousands of years and across hun¬
dreds of thousands of miles, the audienco
will follow' “The Trail of Pink Petals • t
until she reaches Georgia whore
t t Peach is queen, each generation blossoms
Into some rarer, rosier, sweeter form. ' ’
Mrs. F. W. Withoft, author and writer
of lovely verse, has written the’ pageant
lines.
In order that every word and every tono
may reach the ears of the remotest specta¬
tor, a “public address system” used in
tho national conventions and at inaugural
ceremonies will be secured.
It is thus that Fort Valley hopes and
plans, with Divine approval, to celebrate
her “Fourth Annual Peach Blossom Festi¬
val”—a festival in which Miss Peach
Blossom in all her airy beauty shall re¬
ceive the homage and adoration of a state
and a nation; a festival which shall, dur¬
ing blossom time, as the seasons come and
go, forever “Lift the peach industry out
of the counting room into the realms of
purest poetry. '
TO CAN PEACHES IN GLASS JAR.
First prepare jars and tops by washing
clean, sterilizing and draining good, for
around tho tops often remains the bacteria
that causes fermentation, causing fruit to
spoil. Uso new, thick rubbers which have
been wiped off with clean cloth. Heat
jars to keep them from breaking while
canning. To prepare fruit, select good
nice ripe fruit, not too ripe, peel, cut in
halves, place in a vessel, either aluminum
or porcelain. (Not more than two Add quarts
should be cooked at one time.) one
half cup sugar to each quart of fruit.
(Some peaches require more sugar.) Add
enough water to cook fruit tender. When
tender and while fruit is still whole put
in jars with a spoon, being careful not to
let fruit mash up. Fill jar with the syrup
while it is boiling. Seal to make air¬
tight.—Mrs. J. M. Allen.
SWEET PEACH PICKLE.
Eighteen pounds of peeled Elberta
peaches, nine pounds sugar, two table
spoonsful each of whole cloves and stick
cinnamon, broken in pieces, one quart
vinegar. Put all but the peaches on fire
and let come to a boil. Then drop in the
peaches. Cook until tender, place in jars,
cover with tho syrup, and seal. Any kind
of peaches will do.—Mrs. W. T. Pearson.
OLD-FASHIONED SUNDRIED
PEACHES.
Select fruit when it is about ripe enough
to ship. Put in a large vessel, cover with
water and with a coarse cloth, piece of
a bath towel will be all right. Rub every
peach thoroughly so as to get all spray
material washed off. Wipe dry or let
fruit dry off by putting in a clean vessel.
Cut in small pieces, place on trays made
of clean pasteboard and put in the sun.
It takes from 4 to 5 days to dry thorough¬
ly. These make delicious rolls and puffs
when cooked tender.—Mrs. J. M. Allen.
SPICED PEACHES.
Fourteen pounds peaches, six pounds
sugar, three pints vinegar, one ounce cin¬
namon, one-half ounce of mace, one ounce
all-spice. Scald the vinegar, sugar and
spice two or three times and pour over
the fruit hot. If the fruit then is not
cooked, boil it until done.—Mrs. W. T.
Pearson.
PEACH BUTTER.
Cook peaches until tender, mash through
a sieve, add ground spices and sugar and
cook until thick. One pound of sugar to
five pounds of peaches.—Mrs. J. W. Pear¬
son.
