Plant Vegetable Garden
Advised for Health, Diet
By Bureau of Home Economics, U, B.
Department of Agriculture.
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

For. comprehensive Information and
directions for planting each and All
the common vegetables, you can ob
tain from the superintendent of docu
ments In Washington for 0 cents per
copy. Farmers' Bulletin No. 1873-F,
"The Farm Garden," and Farmers'
Bulletin No. 1044-F, "The City Home

more closely, you can probably get
garden plan from your own state
extension service. Here la one from
New York state, for example. It la
based on the needs of one person for j
12 months, allowing two vegetables
daily . besides potatoes; It Includes

to list all the vegetables that might
be grown In a home garden in that
part of the country. Others, of course,
can be substituted In their proper
nutritive class; that Is, brutsela
sprouts or cauliflower for broccoli,
turnip greens for any other greens,
arc! so on.
The New York garden list runs
something like this:
Greens To provide one serving per
week throughout the growing sea
son, from any one of the following
greens, plant: Chard r kale, a row
6 feet long; spinach, 2ft feet, which
will allow for 4 'A quarts cannea;

greens, also, from the beets listed
below.)
-Lettuce 2 plantings, 12 feet each
to provide 4 servings a week through
the growing season.
Cabbage 40 feet, to provide 1 or
2 servings each -week, and 30 pounds
to store for winter.
Tomatoes 40 feet, to allow 3 to 4
servings per week In season, and IB
quarts canned for winter. This will
be enough for an adult. For each
child In the family, plant 76 feet, to
allow a serving every day In season,
and 30 a u arts canned for winter.
. Green peas 3 plantings, 20 feet
each, to provide 1 serving per wee

Potatoes 200 to 400 feet, to pro
vide a serving every day, with 8
bushels stored.
Beans, dried 0 to 100 feet, to pro
vide- 1 serving per week, with 10

Multiplying the quantities required
per person, as indicated above, by the
number of persons 4n the family will
show how much of a garden to plant
to meet all your vegetable needs
except tomatoes. Of these the chil
dren need more than the adults or
the family as Indicated In the list.
And now to see how much better,
nutritionally speaking, the family diet
can be with a garden. If you are
buying all the family food, and if
your weekly market, list corresponds
to that suggested by the bureau of
home economics as furnishing an
"adequate diet at minimum cost."

for you to serve twice the quantity
of vegetables, or more. Where the
list given below Includes 17 pounds
of vegstables other than" potatoes
every week, you could have 35 pounds.
And from your garden you could
have the fresh green peas and beans,
fresh tomatoes, lettuce, radishes,
broccoli, or chard which might, cost
more In the market than you could
afford. With this double quantity of
vegetables, you would need less cer

Dairy and Food Chief Says
Law Eliminating Eggs
Not of Top Quality Bad
Egg Sale Misdemeanor
SALEM. 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.

NEGLECT OF COMMON
CONSTIPATION IS A
SERIOUS MATTER
Prevent This Condition with
Kellogg's All-Bran
The first question your doctor
asks is whether you are constipated
or not. He knows that this condi
tion may cause headaches, loss of
appetite and energy, sleeplessness.
It is often the starting point of
serious illness.
You can prevent and relieve com
mon constipation so easily. Just
eat a delicious cereal once a day.
Laboratory tests show that Kel
logg's All-Bran provides "bulk"
and vitamin B to aid regular hab
its. All-Bran is also a rich source
of blood-budding iron.
The "bulk" in All-Bran is much
like that found in leafy vegetables.
Within the body, it forms a soft
mass. Gently, it clears out the in.
testinal'wastes.
Isn't this "cereal way" safer ani
far more pleasant than taking pat
ent medicines so often harmful?
Two tablespoonfuls of All-Bran
daily are usually sufficient. 'With
each meal in chronic cases. If se
riously ill, see your doctor All
Bran is not a "cure-all."
Enjoy All-Bran as a cereal, or
use in cooking. Get the red-and-green
package at your grocer's,
