Tomato Meeting
Well Attended.
Many farmers attended the'
meeting held in tbe Linden Cham-
ber of Commerce last Saturday
utternoon to discuss the growing
and marketing of tomatoes; all
of theui expressing their desire to
grow something besides cotton
for a money crop this year. As
a result of the meeting 27 addi
tional acres of tomatoes were
signed up, bringing the total
acreage up to 08.
With the above acreage al-
ready signed jUp. we can have a
market for our tomatoes in Liu-
den this year. But in order to
do this we muse all talk toroa
toes this week and sign up enough
acres to bring the total acreage
up to 125 acres. Every farmer
that has signed up should see
that some one else signs up or
raise his acreage.
Some farmers are still in doubt
as to whether they will be able to
sell their tomatoes or not. It is
true that we are not guaranteed
a set price for the tomatoes but
we are assured of a market for
them by one of tbe biggest to-
mato buyers in the of Texas if
we get the 125 acres planted.
We see no reason why any farm-
er should not plant a few toma-
toes when be has a possibility of
being able to sell tbe tomatoes
off of one acre for two or three
hundred dollars in June. If you
have not signed up to grow to-
matoes call at tbe Linden Cham-
ber of Commerce office this week
and do it. Then attend the meet-
ing Saturday afternoou in that
office.

INEXPENSIVE PEAS
YOU can make more dishes
with peas and probably pay
less for them than tor dishes
made with any other equally de-
licious vegetables. Peas are not
Just peas. They're a friendly food
which combines ift the most
pleasant fashion with other vege-
tables, eggs and meats, in hot
dishes, cold salads arid Steaming
Soups. Have you evef considered
how many things you can do with
peas? Here are a C'ftuple of in-
expensive recipes to iftart
These Bon't Cost
Frankfurters With Parsley
Peas: Heat the contents of atf
11-ounce can of peas for about
three minutes, drain, add one
tablespoon butter and season with
Salt and pepper to taste.. Pour
into a shallow baking disti. Grill
or fry eight frankfurters (one
pound), and place on top of the
peas like the spokes dt a wheel.
Sprinkle with two tablespoons
Chopped parsley, and rfheat in
the oven a few mintfteS. This
Costs less than fifty cents and
serves four.
English Peast Add one and
one-half tablespottos vinegar, one
and one-half tablespoons sugar
and two tablespoons crushed
fresh mint to the contents of an
11-ounce can of peas, and simmer
gently for ten minutes. This
serves four people at a coat of
about three cents each.
With Potatoes
One of the vegetables which
peas cuddle up to most comfort-
ably is potatoes, and the new
canned potatoes from "Florida
tbaIw recipes eoatainlntf these
easy to prepare. The potatoes
come packed in liquid, and Sre
ready to eat after heating. Small
sizes, somewhat larger than wal-
nuts are selected for canning pur-
poses, and these can be solved
the same as new potatoes. Their
size saves wort? And makes fjiem
especially suitafcM for the follow-
ing recipes:
Potatoes Creamed With Peas:
Heat two cups of canned potatoes
till Just tender, not mushy. Heat
the contents of a A 11-ounce can
of peas and add the potatoes
with two cupfl of rich whito
sauce. SCason more it necessary.
Serves eight.
Potato Marbles With Peas:
Heat three cups of canP«d p6ta-
toes until Just tender and not the
least bit mushy. Pour one-fourth
cup of melted butter over them,
sprinkle with paprika, and toss
lightly, s6 potatoes do not break.
Heat the contents of an 11-ounce
can of peas, and add. Mix gWiray
and serve. Serves eight.
Peas and Eggs
Eggs and peas are also' g<5od
friends, a£ the following Recipes
prove:
Scrambled. Eggs and "Vegeta-
bles: SaUt4 six tablespoon*)' chop-
ped celery, four tablespoons chop-
ped greeA pepper and one table-
spoon chopped onion in fottr1 table-

ble together. Season with salt and

three eggs, three tablesptMJna milk
and one-half teaspoon salt. Com "
blnC' one tablespoon butter, one

cup milk Into a white sauce in
jthe usual way. Add three-fourths
cup canned peas to the sauce,
and pour hot over the omelet Just
before folding It over onto the
platter. Serves four. In doubling
the quantity for eight persons, it
;is better to make two omelets
father than one large one with
six eggs.
Peas In Salads

where canned peas shine. Hero
are some recipes:
