Spring 1b coming despite the cold, long-staying winter and you will feel the urge to go out In the garden or the backyard and dig In the dirt. Don't hold back when you fee! that urge, says the Bureau of Home Economics of the U. 8. department of Agriculture. Indulge It, encourage It, stimulate It If It is alow In coming to life. If you are any sort of a gardener at all, It will probably save you money, It will certainly give you better meals than you would other wise have, and It will supply, at mini mum cost, protective foods of which most Americans do not use enough. A half-acre garden 220 by 100 feet can be made to produce all the vegetables the average family can use throughout the growing season, and plenty for canning, storing and dry ing, Bays W. R. Beattle, garden spec ialist for the U. S. department of Agriculture, In other words, a year's supply of vegetables. ' Even If you have only a tenth of that space, or Just a small back yard, you can giow some fresh green foods to help toward a balanced dtet.: Home gardens were, In fact, more numerous last year than ever, and there will probably be still more this spring. From the south comes the report of one home garden from which "beginning with col lards Janu ary 1, there has not been a day that we have not served fresh vegetables out of the garden." There wore 32 varieties of vegetables grown in that garden, and In November It contained turnips, winter greens, mustard, onions, radishes, carrots, spinach, col lards, egg-plant, tomatoes, and pep pers. Besides plenty to use for the table fresh, 160 quarts of vegetables from this garden were canned, end almost 9125 worth were sold. ' Xn Illinois a garden plot of less than an acre furnished $100 worth of vegetables for summer use, an ad ditional $40 worth that were stored .for winter, and (20 worth sold for cash. Of 300 demonstra!on gardens In Kansas, the average returns, net, were about $65 worth of vegetables psr garden.

Ore. (UP) Enforcement of the egg standardization act has done more toward stabilizing the Oregon poultry industry than any other fac tor, J. D. Mlckle, chief of dairy and food division, department of agricul ture, said today. - The law haa tended to eliminate from the market all eggs not of top' quality, Mlckle said. Salable eggs are j carefully graded as to quality, and the resulting price differential has made producers strive for improvement. The egg law makes a misdemeanor selling eggs unfit for human food, including those addled, containing black spots, blood ringed, with adher ent yolks. .Foreign eggs sold must be labeled as such. Restaurants or baker ies using foreign eggs must state the fact In prominently displayed signs: Classification of salable eggs are: Fresh extras: Eggs clean In outward appearance, with, fixed air space of not more than one fourth inch in depth. .In candling the yolk must be visible. The weight shall not be tets than one and five-sixths ounces. Fresh mediums: Same specifications, but with eggs not lees than one and seven-twelfths ounces. Fresh pullets: Weight not less than one and one-fourth ounces. Standards: Egg which does not meet requirements for & fresh extra but is wholesome and weighs not less than one and five-sixths ounces. Medium first: Does not meet re quirements for fresh mediums and weighs not less than one and seven twelfths ounces. Pullet first: Does not meet require ments for fresh pullet eggs, and weighs not less than one and one fourth ounces. Undergrades: Good edible eggs that do not Include requirements of other grades, may Include checks, leakers, bakers or eggs with weak yolks or wat ery albumen. Desire of eastern trade for white eggs has resulted In use of white leghorn chickens almost exclusively by Oregon poultry men, Mlckle said. , - Governor Paid Man's Fine LA HABRA, Cal.
