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.
