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

LONDON (AP) A complete pano
rama of the English newspaper, illus
trating lta evolution through three
centuries, will be presented In con
Junction with the annual meeting of
the Associated Press In New York
April 34.
The collection, believed to be the
most complete of Its kind In private
hands, belongs to the London Press
club and begins, with an Issue that
antedates the famous sale of Manhat
tan Island by the Indians by severs!
years.
A 8oc in ltd Press co-opernting.
Exhibition In the Untied States, the
first outside pf London, was arranged
by Carl W. Ackerman. dean of the
Columbia University School of Jour
nalism. '
The Associated Press la co-operat
ing with Mr. Ackerman and the uni
versity, and the first showing will bo
April 34, the day of the annual meet
ing of the press association members.
University students And Invited gueste
In attendance at the American News
paper Publishers' association meeting
will have opportunity to study the
rare collection April 36 and 36.
The exhibit has been formed dur
ing the last five years by Andrew
Stewart, honorary librarian of the
London Proas club.
It begins with the embryonic stages
of the English press in the reign of
James I, when the only semblance
of a newspaper published In London
was a smalt quarto entirely consist
ing of news translated from the Co
rantoi, Issued on the continent.
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.
One of the outstanding exhibits 1
a complete contemporary record of
the trial of Charles X and of the
eoene on the scaffold when he was
executed -January 30. 1640.
t The Day's "Hot News
It Was- hunger for news hot from
the battlefields of England and ol
the doings of parliament that led to
the establishment of the regular
newspaper, and the pamphlets of the
time mirror the times In forceful
English.
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. .
Landmark in Journalism.
A landmark In English Journalism
Is Illustrated by the Dally Advertiser,
regarded as the first modern news
paper because It Introduced, in 1764,
the format which was to be the
newspaper
standard of the English
until 1808.
Later phases of evolution are Illus
trated by examples of the great news
papers which came Into existence in
the days of Oeorge III, Including the
still flourishing Times and Morning
Post.
Because of their Influence on Jour
nalism, the collection also includes
a number of royal proclamations ot
the reigns of Charlea II, William and
Mary and Queen Anne for the sup
pression of scandalous books and
newspapers, acts of parliament Im
posing duties on the press and a
number of historic Issues of the of
ficial London Gazette.
The collection comprises In all
more than 300 separate Items.
