eee crop to save big and lit- 
tle is Winter Squash. One year | 
planted 100 ft. row to Fordhook 
Bush Squash, in drill. Thinned as 
need. Three families used off the 
row. Before frost we gathered 56 
Squash, some as small as duck eggs. 
A few, less than a dozen, spoiled, 
and we used the last one the follow- 
ing April. 
Time now to be thinking of 
Christmas presents. We know that 
dwarf fruit trees are produced by 
budding standard stock on roots 
that naturally produce a dwarf. 
Lately I read that normal size 
Peaches were now grown on a bush 
small enough to be kept in a large 
size common flower pot. Remarked 
about it to Ralph and he replied 
that while stationed near Rome, he 
visited friends who had three of 
these dwarf Peach trees in flower 
pots on an upstairs porch. 
Now a person with plenty of room 
would not likely care to bother with 
such midgets, but it seems to me 
that one of these trees would be an 
interesting Christmas gift to an 
elderly person or a shut in. Provided 
the recipient was situated to keep 
the tree cool enough but not too 
cold, through the dormant period. 
Am mailing out two imprints 
which advertise what I think are nice 
Christmas gifts. One is a little mail 
scale, good to 14 a pound. Size and 
shape of a fountain pen, with a simi- 
lar clip, by which a man might carry 
it on his pocket like a pen. Good 
also as desk equipment. 
The other is for a costume jewelry 
bracelet which I think would delight 
a school girl.

Quite recently I was shamed and 
shocked, reading in the newspaper 
that in Arkansas, a negro had been 
| tortured and abused by white hu- 
man devils because, in attending to 
his own affairs, he had crossed a 
picket line. And I am still’) more 
shamed that I do not see any notice 
that the state authorities are prose- 
cuting the perpetrators of this out- 
rage. Such a deed is a disgrace to 
America and to our state—on a 
level with the Nazis and OGPU. 
Regardless of what one may 
think of social mixing of the races, 
and I am unreconstructed Secesh of 
the old Kentucky plantation owning 
stock, the fact remains that in the 
sight of God there is no preferred 
race unless it is the Jews. He judges 
the individual by their inner quali- 
ties, not their complexion. Quite 
possible He has a higher opinion 
of that negro than of those brutes 
who tortured him. 
And under our Constitution, the 
negro has the same right to protec- 
tion as a white. If this outrage is un- 
punished, none of us are safe from 
the dictatorial ambitions of the 
union would-be Hitlers. I hope our 
courts and the jury will have the in- 
tellisence and the moral backbone 
to punish those brutes as severely as 
negroes would be punished for abus- 
ing a white man who, in attending 
to his own affairs had violated some 
rule of one of their organizations. 
Housekeepers are naturally inter- 
ested in the program for saving 
flour. One suggestion is use more 
cornbread. Those who must depend 
upon northern corn cannot have as 
good meal because of the longer 
growing season of the best bread 
corns. But when you read the ulu- 
lations of some sob sister because of 
the hard fare of the hill billies (like 
myself) and the sharecroppers, re- 
member this recipe for our staff of 
life.
