Patent Offce , -.. . . . ■ ■ . ■ - ■*■■■■ ■ ——1 DILL CUT OFF • CARAWAY CUT OfT Harvesting Home Garden Herb Seed? By DEAN HALLIDAY Distributed by Central Press Association During midsummer the fresh green leaves, flowers and oils of many herbs are gathered for use. Other herbs of which the seeds are used are gathered as soon as they ripen. The seeds of cumin, dill, fennel, coriander, caraway, bene and an ise are more useful in many kitchens than are the stems and leaves of the plants. If you are growing any of the above named herbs in your home garden, remember that when har vesting, the seed heads should be * with short stems, as shown in the accompanying Garden-Graph After harvesting these herbs, spread the seed heads out on a Clean cloth for ahout a week or longer so that they may dry. Do not spread the seeds where there is any dampness. The attic in most homes is a good place for drying seeds during the slnmer season. Turn the seeds frequently to facilitate their drying. After the seeds are thoroughly dry they will separate easily from the stems. The chaff can be removed from the seeds bv blowing on them gently. Store the seeds in covered .glass jars, carefully labeled. Be sure they are dry and well cured be fore putting them away in the, glass containers. When once established in the j home garden herbs need very, l'.ttle attention. Therefore, it is, advisable to use care in the se lection of the location of each group as wej! as in th« proper | preparation of the soil.

During the war years, the wom en who once went in for that “beautiful-but-bored” manner be came crisp and business-like. Because they 'were suddenly faced with doing their own house work, or because they were up to their jobs, or a combination of both, they didn’t have time to cul tivate a languid look. Besides, most oi them had too many war-caused personal wor ries to go around looking bored by it all. Life picked them up and pushed them around a bit, and the alive, interested, busy look was fhe order of the day. But once again many women have too much time on their hands. It’s beginning to show. They are spending time dress ing up for parties that often aren’t worth tie effort. But the parties are time-killers, and so is the sudden new emphasis on fash ion. So the women without enough j to do are spending long hours in the beauty salons again, taking great pains with their shopping and dressing. And then they- don t know what to do with themselves. So there they are—wearing the languid look. They’re all dressed up—but too many of them don't have any really important place to go. PARKER NAMED SECRETARY RALEIGH. July 23—OP)—Elsie L.
