But not for vitamins alone is spinach a valu able food. It, is one of the rich est food sources of minerals, par ticularly of calcium, iron and phosphorus, and furnishes a larfte amount of the cellulose and roughage so esential In the diet.' Of the three vitamins found abundantly in spinach, A. H, and C. the only one damaged by ex tended cooking is vitamin C. Tt preserve this vitamin, the safe method is to cook the spinach not longer than 5 to 10 minutes, and serve promptly after cooking. The bright green color of spin ach may be retained by cooking It in a kettle with the lid off; A minimum of cooking pives a max imum of food value.. Unlike many things that are "liood for you', spinach can alao he made attractive and palatable. The following recipes using the vegetable have been tested and f mnd good: Spinach Tlmbab", Six Servings Spinach pulp. 2 cubs; eggs, 4; butter. 3 tablespoons, salt, 1 tablespoon. Combine vegetables with well beaten egg. Bake in buttered custard cups at low temperature. Crab Meat With Spinach Wash, drain, chop and1 'season half peck of spinach.

HEALTH SERVICE Most Healthful of Leafy. Veg etables, With All Three of the Vitamins Parents, do you realize thaT by adding spirrach'TO your regu lar diet you are doins a three fold good? First, you are Increasing the chances for your own good health. Second, you will set a good example for your children who need the strong vitamins of spinach. Third, spinach used in every home will open a strong ciarket for that commodity In the Willamette valley. spinach Is one of the first veg e'ablos which may be added to h bihy's milk diet." It Is recom-rs-'iided that It be mode Into n Puree for best results to the child On difficulty must be met, whirl 1- the children invariably dislike tii- taste of spinach, but by grad n il persuasion they will expect i! a-, regular food. The Marlon county health serv ! conducted a campaign In thf schools year before last under thf direction of Drs. Walter H. Brown and Estella Ford Warner, en couraging children to demand the food and regular diet which i? most likely to prove beneficial to them. In this work. It ha3 been found that spinach Is the most healthful of the leafy vegetables, containing elements of all three classes of vitamins. Spinach has been placed on the menu of the most successful noon luncheons In the public schoolB. Many parents come to the health service. Inquiring why their children will not eat vege tables, and most generally after a few questions are asked it Is found that .the parents themselves are weak vegetarianB and attemp t force their children to eat. vegetables which they themselves ! not care for. According to physicians the a!ded vegetable diet has been a rotably strong factor in the in creased longevity of life. Very fw of the coaser foods remain on the. daily menu of the average person, and the roughage which is contained in spinach, cabbage and celery has now become an e peritlal part of the diet.

The revision now proposed by he democrats is desiened to meet -he objections of Secretary Mel lon who has contended that as now worded the clause would prevent use of the proposed In crease by ail of the agencies charged with enforcement of tho dry laws. Friends of the increase proposal believe the Byrnes amendment would accomplish this.

Senator Harris under took an analysis of the house vote of yesterday which paved the way for sending the bill to conference! and in the house Representative Celler, democrat, New York, touched debate off by displaying a bottle of tonic, which, he said. contained more than 20 per cent; of alcohol.

The above paragraph is from the editorial page of the Oregon ian of a few day ago. It was in tended to be funny. The spinach joke is on all fours with the ancient prune joke. They were passable in the old days. But now the whilom lowly prune in these pages of this morning's paper.) The writer knows a nurse who Is a leader in her profession who eats spinach every day in the year. She understands what the best physicians say about it. They all advise the use of the vegetable. It Is almost on a par with milk as a dietary necessity in many cases. When anyone makes a Joke' about spinach, he just shows his Ignorance. He should read up or make inquiries and get down to date.

Large and Growing Market Oregon For Fresh Spinach Says the College Authority Is a; Good First Crop for Market Gardeners and Fall Crop May Be Grown Here; Varieties and Other Information A large and growing market exists in Oregon for fresh spin ach, one of the most important veegtables grown for "greens", being in particular demand in the spring when the public has been without a large supply of green vegetables for some time. It makes an excellent first crop for market gardeners, or it can fol low- i V.

An advantage is gained by r.r.l. ling in local markets, as fresh, large, clean and dark green spin ach tempts thf buyer and in creases consumption, while small, wilted, dirty spinach such as shipped from a distance causes an unfavorable market condition, and curtails consumption. Because of weather conditions, spinach 13 not usually grown prof itably on a commercial canning scale in Oregon. While spinach grown here is of as fine a qual ity as can be carried on much more economically in the more tropical portions of the country, where it is grown in the winter, as it is not adapted to hot wea ther conditions. Satisfactory crops of spinach can be grown on a variety of soils, but the largest yields are probab ly obtained from tho.e soils hav ing an abundance-of huqiuf, such as the muck or beaverdam soils. Rich; sandy loams are also valu able, in that they can be planted arly and make a good soil for an arly crop, to be followed by an il her vegetable later in the sea on. Any soil which grows spin ich needs to be pulverized to a fine 'degree to allow proper t.eed ing. The essential characteristic of any soil for spinach are abund ance of organic matte.- and free dom from clods, or ability to be finely pulverized. The fall and winter crops require land that is well drained. Ground not normal ly well drained cannot he planted until April which often brines th rop into a period of hot weather, which is not a favoribb- condition Inasmuch as all spinach is si-own from seed and ?own with ; hand drill, it is necessary to have a fine, well-pulverized and smooth ee'd bed. To obtain a good, even stand of plants it is essential that the land be free from clods and finely worked down. The extent to which a spinach rial. 1 ..111 ..K.e-i n i..-rr,,i,.;i l lUl "I" IllU 111 Llfll.- IO Ifllfttlji, dependent on the amount of or ccanic matter in the soil, or on . ... Jib tne supply or manure wnlch ma be available. If fine manure is on hand. It is best ap plied In the spring and thorough ly worked into the ground. If manure is somewhat scarce, a coating will be better than none Mnure should also be applied preparatory to seeding the fall crop. During the final preparation of the soil with the spike harrow and planker, an application of 150 pounds of nitrate of soda may be made, or as an alterna tive. 600 to S00 pounds of tank age. Varieties of splrfach. of which there are several, differ In the shape and color of the leaves and also in the crinkly nature of the same. Probably the most widely used variety is the Victoria, hav ing a deep green, pointed foliage; also Thick Ieaf, with a round thick leaf of rich green color. An other variety which is sometimes used is the Savoy leaved, which has crinkly dark colored green leaves. The variety Long Stand- ing is also used ducing this crop or dehydrator. by growers pro for the cannery Oakland Pontiac Sales and Service VICK BROS. High Street at Trade From tests made It is evident that there is a great difference in the producing power of different strains or spinach of the samr variety, and It is therefore best to choose not only a suitable va riety, but also to obtain a higr; yielding strain of seed. Spring seeding begins as early as the weather and soil condi (ions permit The plants ari stand averag- inrrtv mi spring frosts. A hand drill used to put in 12 to IT, pounds of seed per acre, with the rows 11 to 14 inches apart. Hepth c seeding is about one-half inch. Inasmuch as the rows of spin ach are close together, all culti vation is done by hand. The toob most widely used are the shovt hoe and the wheel hoc. which arc useful in cutting down small weeds between the rows and keeping a mulch on the surface. It is especially important to keep weeds out of the rows, otherwise they will cause considerable bother later on when it becomes time to harvest the crop. A sharp shove hoe or push hoe is used for harvesting spinach, or the two-wheeled hand hoe with knives reversed, can he used. If the spinach is not going to be washid. it Is best to wait until it is thoroughly dry. or the dew is off the leaves, before it is out; otherwise the spinacli will have to be washed before going to mar ket. It is customary to cut the spinach off with about an inch of stem so that the blades of the knives should go just below the surface of the soil. If this is carefully done, the spinacli will be laid over systematically to one side of the row and easily picked up and put into field boxes which are open slatted or orange boxes. SPINACH 10 TIMES VALUE OF CARROTS' Has Ten Times the Iron Con tent of the Fine Root Vegetable Named Spinach is the vegetable above most that is both a food and a medicine.
