PAGE SE MEDFOTCD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1933. Plant Vegetable Garden And Aid Purse and Menu Br the Bureau of Horns Eoonomlcs, V. B. Department of Agriculture, "Grow your own food" or some of It t least. "Save by llTlng at home." These are elogaru of the state extension workers. The bureau of home economics of the U. S. de partment of agriculture Joins In the chorus, pointing out the contribu tion that a well-planned garden can make to a balanced diet. That means garden spot, of course, but often even a small backyard will yield green foods enough to count materially toward the variety necessary for healthful, balanced diet. Let us assume we have, or can find, the necessary garden space. A half acre garden, we are told by those who know, can be made to furnish prac tically all the vegetables needed by a family of five throughout the sum mer, with some left over to can or store for the winter. Indeed, there Is a record of a one-acre garden In Bouth Carolina that produced 20 kinds of vegetables from seventy five plantings In all, planting some kinds every few days to Insure a long season of supply. That was enough for s family of 1 throughout the year, and yielded -400 quarts of vegetables for canning and a lot lor market during the season. A record like that may be hard to duplicate, but to raise a half, or a quarter, or an eighth that much would be worth while. How much, then, shall we plant In order to feed the family throughout the year with fresh home-grown vege tables In season, some more for can ning and putting away for winter? That will depend partly upon the climate and the soil, but here Is a recommendation from the extension service of the University of Illinois, appropriate for that part of the coun try, v The list Is given by groups of vege tables, with the quantities to plant to provide a given number of servings per person per week. These quanti ties should be multiplied by the number of persons In the family. Tomatoes: For t servings per per son every week, or 813 during the year, put out' IB tomato plants. Cabbage, lettuce, spinach: Por 8 servings per person every week, or S13 for the year, set out 18 cabbage plants In the spring and 18 more In the fall. Plant feet of lettuce In the spring, 8 feet In the fall; IB feet of spinach In the spring and the same In the fall. Carrots, turnips, beets, parsnips, on ions: Por 8 servings woeklv, or 813 per year, plant IB feet JV carrots spring and fall; 10 feet of turnips In the spring, 16 feet In the fall; 10 feet ef beets spring and fall; 8 feet of parsnips; 30 feet of onions. String beans, asparagus, cauliflower, celery: At least 1 serving a week or about 80 por year. Plant 38 feet of String beans; 8 crowns of asparagua; 4 plants of cauliflower spring and fall; plants of celery. Peas, beans (dried), corn; For 2 servings a week, or 114 per year, plant 48 feet of peas; 60 feet of beans, Potatoes (white), potatoes (sweet), qussh: Por 7 or more servings per week, or about 400 per year, plant 300 feet of white potatoes; 60 feet of sweetpotatoes; 1 squash plant In the spring, 3 In the fall, Tou would not need, of oourse.i to raise all the vegetables In the list In order to have a balanced supply. The Idea Is that you would choose from the groups according to the family preferences. Or you might substitute turnip tops, beet tops, ksle, brussels sprouts or chard for the cabbage, lettuce, or spinach; broccoli lira, or eggplant for beans, aapsrs gus, cauliflower, or celery. A family of five would need, In all, something like 40 or 4B pounds of vegetables per week, at least, or more than aooo pounds for the yetr. To get the most out of any garden, keep the land working very minute ef the growing ssaaon. This Is the advice of one of the garden specialist of the U. B. department of agricul ture, W. R. Beattle, whose garden In Maryland, near the District of Co lumbta line. Of peas, Mr, Beattle ays. he puts In 8 rows, each about 100 feet, long, plantings about a week apart, 1 row at 4 time. "That gives us peas for 8 or 4 weeks. I plant snsp beans every 3 weeks In the early part of the season. In addition I make 3 or 8 fall plantings, besides 1 or 3 special plantings Just for can ning. One row of carrou, 1 of beets no garden would be complete with out those two vegetables, and I make I plantings. The first planting, made very early. Is for spring and summer use, the late planting Is for storage. Beet tops sre another good leafy vege table. When I thin my beets, wo al ways use the tender young plant as beet greens. Two plantings of tomatoes 38 to 80 early plants pruned and tied to takes, and about 60 late plant al lowed to grow as thay will on the ground, should yield plenty of ripe tomatoes for summer use. enough for canning, and also some green toma toes for pickling, says Mr. Beattle. He suggest also 8 or 8 hills of early summer squashes, and 4 or 6 hills of cucumbers, also a row or two of lima beans. But a half-acre garden would not be big enough to Include all or the late potatoes, sweet potatoes, quashes, or sweet corn for canning or drying, and so a plaos for these should be provided outside the regu lar garden. . To the family of small Income, the great Importance of the garden lies In the fact that It furnishes the pro tective foods which might not be within reach It they had to be bought. Corn meal, flour, and cereals, sugar and fats cost less than vegetables, as a rule, and a limited food supply !s likely to mean a one-sided diet com posed of a few of the chespest foods. Such one-stdedneae Is almost certain to cause malnutrition and Illness. Garden crops are a protection to the family health. 1 ' LOW-COST MKNU FOR ONB DAY. Breakfast.

One of these, "The Continuation of Our Weekly Newes," dated 1630, opens the panorama, which then proceeds to an unbroken sequenoe of the newe pamphlets which Informed England of the progress of Its civil war.

Weeklies and trl-weekllee gradually developed until 1703. In the reign of Queen Anne, the 'first dally news paper appeared. This was the Dally Courant. a two-column paper. Other Important newspapers and journals of a little later In the collec tion are ones to which Steele, Addi son, DeFoe, Goldsmith and, still later, Johnson contributed. The Daily Courant was the first English dally morning newspaper, and soon evening trl-weeklles began to appear. A notable Item among the morning papers Is the Dally Post, a rival of the Courant, for which DeFoe wrote for five and a half years and to which he contributed the original of "Rob inson Crusoe," running through 166 numbers. .
