whether the rascal can or can
not, but from the looks of
some Seminole cotton fields
weevils seem to be trying to
break this record. Farmers
who wish to stop this act
should use 20 pounds peracre
of the following insecticides:,
20 percent toxaphene, 3-10-
40- BHC, aldrin, dieldrin, hep
tachlor, or‘endrin.
It happened at the famed Darlington
Raceway. A ’56 Chevrolet, with 225
h.p., poured it on for 24 straight hours,
averaging 101.58 miles per hour, to top
the Indianapolis stock car record by
280 miles! Here’s proof of perform
ance, stamina, stability and sureness
of control that no other regular pro
duction car on the road can equal! Stop
by for a sample!
Hints for the Homemaker
(by MISS WYLLENE WILSON, Home Demonstration Agent)
Only One Minute of Cooking
Time Required For Jam
There is a new, easier way
to make jam. It need not be
the hot, tiring task it used to
be. This new process requires
only one minute cooking time
and it’s so easy that a child
could make it.
This summer why not try
making uncooked jam from
the strawberries, blackberries
blueberries, and peaches you
have?
This recipe makes nine 6-
ounce glasses of jam: Add
five cups of sugar to three
cups lof crushed fruit, mix
well, and allow to stand 20
minutes, stirring occcasionail
ly. Dissolve one package of
powdered pectin in one cup
water, bring to a boil and let
it boil one minute. Add the
pectin solution to the fruit
and sugar mixture and stir
two minutes. Ladle jam into
jelly glasses, filling to about
a half inch of the rim. Cover
and let stand until jefllied.
This may take from 24 to 48
hours. Seal with hot parrafin
and cover with a metal lid.
Put it in a freezer or the re
frigerator immediately. It will
keep in the refrigerator a few
months or in the freezer as
long as a year. Because it is
uncooked, it will not keep on
the kitchen shelf. To have this
jam at its best, use it prompt
ly after opening the container.
That shouldn’t be any pro-
blem, it’s so good to eat.
Two points to remember a
bout this type of jam. If it’s
too firm when you open' it to
serve it, stirring will soften
it. If it tends to separate,
stirring will blend it again.
