Yeah, Dr. Sadler but we can't grow the type figs in the South which you can 
grow in California which lend themselves to drying very well.  It's best to 
eat as many as you can before the June bugs get them and make some preserves 
with the rest.  Fig preserves go good on a cat's head biscuit with a slab of 
fried country ham and washed down with a cup of hot chicory when  frost is 
on the pumpkins.
