PAGE FOURTEEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY. APRIL 20, 1934. Stored Garden Surplus Will Help Winter Diet By Bmrau of Home Economics, U. H. fruits and vegetables should do the Department of Agriculture, I rest. That calls for a canning budget The plan Is the thing, and we are w&lch include anywhere from Johnson Assailed By Mrs. Pinchot talking about your garden. Not Just your garden, either. Your food sup ply next winter, as well as through the summer. If your garden Is to help out all the year round, It must yield more than merely fresh vege tables enough for your table during the growing season. For a well-balanced winter diet, you will need to draw upon three sources for your vegetables and fruits, First, your fruit and vegetablo cellar, if you arc blessed with such, where He your potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, and the other vegetables that can be stored carrot, turnips, squash, etc. Also apples. Then your pantry shelves, well-filled, let us hope, with canned fruits and canned vegetables, especially tomatoes. Also dried beaus or botb. nuts tf you can get them, and other dried foods especially dried corn and dried okra, likewise some dried fruits. Third, and last, of course, for what you have not stored or canned or dried, you go to the gro cery store, where you hope to spend only what you must to supplement your home supplies. But, how much can your garden grow? And do you have any apple trees or berry patches? How much food should you try to put away for winter? The Bureau of Home Eco nam tea of the V. 8. Department of Agriculture can tell you how much of vegetables and fruits you need for a proper diet, summer or winter. Your state agricultural authorities, your county agent or any of your state extension workers, can help you with a food preservation budget and garden plan to fit your climate and location. So much for the beginning of plan providing, first, for fresh gar den foods throughout tha growing season, then a four-part budget of your food needs for the winter, to be provided by storing; by canning, by drying, and by purchase. What you can -grow for stdrage can be de termined right off by how much ground you have. Potatoes, cabbage, turnips, squash, take a lot of garden apace. Perhaps you will have to buy them. That might mean drying more corn, beans or peas, for It is eaaler to dry these vegetables than to can them. Your canning budget should be de termined first of all by your needs, of course, but no less important are your facilities for canning. Corn and , peas, for example,, should be canned only with a steam -pressure cooker. This la true of all the non-acid vege tables, which means all except toma toes. There is no economy in can ning sweet potatoes, or any other vegetables that can be stored. Tomatoes and fruits, however, are i easy to can. With an eye to winter needs, It would be a good policy to plant plenty of tomatoes for canning and unless you have a steam pres sure cooker give leas attention to canning other vegetables, which need temperatures higher than can be ob tained either in open-kettle or water bath canning. But there la another possibility a probability rather. Even if you do not, yourself, own a steam pressure cooker, you may be able tq use one this summer, for there" will be more community canning centera than ever, Just as there are more com munity gardens. If you do your can ning in such a center, well-equipped and well-aupervlsed. you can put up vegetables - of all kinds, and meats also, with greater expectancy of suc cess. . . And now for a little figuring. For a well-balanced diet through 5 or 7 months of winter, says the Bureau of Home Economics, your family of five should have about 10 bushels of potatoes; at least 1 bushels of cabbage and 3 bushels would be bet ter (you can make some of it into kraut); 1 to 2fc bushels of carrota. yellow turnips, or yellow squash; 1 to m bushels of onions: 0 to IS bushels of apples; dried beans 1 to 2 budhels; dried fruit, 30 to 40 pounds. , If your garden and orchard yield that : much more than your summer-time needs, and If you have a good storage j place In which to put them away, that supply of stored vegetables and fruit will go a long way toward good , living In winter. Canned or dried 150 to 300 quart of canned vege- i tables, largely tomatoes; and It should Include 100 to 300 quarts of canned fruits. Those are' outside figures, of course. Your needs will vary be' tween those lowest and highest fig ures, according to the length of the winter In your par of the country, and the quantity of apples, potatoes, pumpkins, squashes, carrota, onions. beets, turnips, rutabagas and cab bages you may put away In your vege table and fruit cellar. Your store of canned foods may have to carry you through some dry weeks In summer, if you have that kind of weather and your garden falls you In mid-season, You and your state or county agri cultural authorities will know best how to provide for that and other local situations or probabilities. The point Is, the Bureau of Home Economics repeats, a plan. You may think It makes no difference. Why not take things in the season as they come, and- put up aa much as you may of each? The answer'ls: When you do thst you are likely to flu up all your Jars with early fruits and vegetables and have few containers left when the late tomatoes come along and except oranges and grapefruit tomatoes are your most important source of vitamin C In winter. In other words, when you plan your garden with year-round budget In hand, you are almost certain to find yourself, when winter comes, with a better-balanced and more varied lood supply than you would have if you took thing as they come along. You balance your food budget this way. looking ahead, then, you will want from your pantry shelve next winter canned foods enough to last until fresh vegetables and fresh fruit come again in the spring. You will want the canned foods In addition to the root vegetable and cabbage you have stored, and In addition to dried beans or pea or dried corn. On the days that you serve tomatoes you can no without fruit If you wish. On the days that you serve cabbage or car rota or sweetpotatoes or turnips or squash, you do not need green beans or peas or sptnscn or otner greens, although It Is a good thing to have them and fruit besides. Or to put It another way probably you win serve potatoes almost every day at one meal or another. Moat people do. But you need, besides potatoes, at least one other vege table and preferably two, and also a fruit. When It comes to selecting that other vegetable, nutrition specialists tell us to make sure of a green one or else a yellow one if not both not merely because the colors are gny and pleasing, but because they are signs of vitamin necessary to Bal ance your diet. Then serve fruit besides. But, for one last word, this: Don't skimp the family on fresh garden foods in summer solely for the pur pose of storing them for the winter. That Is poor economy in the long run. And by all means plan for garden greens to grow as nearly through the year as possible. DUST STORM DAMAGES CROPS IN FOUR STATES SIOUX CITY. la., April 20.

Y RKS KEEPERS OF Boys Teach Simians Harm ful Tricks Effort To Re move Head Last Straw Guards Posted at Cages. By Sam Knott (United Press Staff Correspondent) CHICAGO, April 20. (UP) Lincoln Park boo keepers called police to their aid today in an effort to do some springtime monkey business. The trouble began several weeks ago when a youth started experiment ing to learn whether a monkey will try to do anything he sees a human do. . The youth started by clapping his hands In front of a cage occupied by Bushman, a black ape In the monkey house. Bushman Imitated him. The youth brought a companion the next day. They clapped hands and went through other innocent antics, all of which Bushman and the other monkeys tried to Imitate. Keepers thought the show funny and didn't try to stop it even when the youths returned on succeeding days with other pals for additional experiment ing. One day last week, one of ths youths stopped in front of a monkey cage and started hitting himself on the chin with his fist. The monkeys did themselves considerable damage trying to Imitate that one and the keepers djdn't like it, but said noth ing. The next day, the youths brought an elderly man with them and had him remove his false teeth while the monkeys watched. Bushman and the other monkeys attempted to take their teeth out also. The keepers didn't like that either but It still seemed harmless fun for the boys so they made no strenuous objections. when the youths returned Monday and began butting their hesds sgslmt t wsll. with the monkeys following suit, the keepers ordered the young scientists to aepart, Todsy ths youths returned with another elderly man ss an "escort." Tt -M thv lust wanted to see how their old friends, the monkeys were enjoying the spring westher and brought a "chaperon" to prove their good intentions. While the keepers were not looking, the "chaperon" removed his wig. thin placed it back on his hesd. The monk eys seemed puizled. The msn remov ed his wig sgsln. Keepers said thst what happened after that was "terrible". Every monk ey in the place, they said, began try ing to tear the top of his head off. Police were called to stsnd constsnt gusrd about the monkey csges hero sfter. SEATTLE, April 20.

"ALL-BRAN WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF MY DIET" Delicious Cereal Corrected His Constipation If you suffer from constipation, read this fine letter: "I have been troubled for years with constipation. During this , time, I have tried almost every known . remedy. Then some one recommended eating Kellogg'a All Bran, and the proper results fol lowed immediately. "Since eating Kellogg's All Bran each morning, there has been a general improvement in my health without the ill effects that I formerly experienced when taking laxatives. Hereafter, Kellogg's All-Bran will always be a part of my diet." Mr. E. G. Himes, 1201 E. 7th St., Los Angeles, Calif. Research shows Kellogg's All Bran provides "bulk" to exercise the intestines, and vitamin B to aid elimination. All-Bran also sup plies iron for the blood. The "bulk" in All-Bran is much like that in leafy vegetables. Isn't this "cereal way" safer than risk, ing patent medicines? Two tablespoonfuls daily art usually sufficient to relieve ordi nary constipation. With each meal, in serious cases. If not relieved this way, see your doctor. Be sure to ask for Kellogg's All-Bran. It contains much more needed "bulk" than part-bran products, in the red -ana -green package. Made by Kellogg in Bat tle Creek. 4 illllllllllllllllllllllllU HOME OWNED STORES WHITE KING SRAIVLATEI sour v mamr is iisswiss.L 5 . gT S7-L '.44! jT&- A n s:k . it ,?Y i Ajx&sXj?' rVlSE housewives tSfigw know thai WHITE KING f Granulated Soap helps 3jj.- them do a better job of i7p Spring Housecleaning in 'F much quicker time, and iCVi Vjfkifjii with much lest effort I L-zjsJ ! )Jgfej-jTy They know too -that J&tyZtt) ' XSdj-b; WHITE KING can be M 3jO purchased NOW at the fe-fv ! lowest price in its historyl jK j N$Ss Be thrifty I Be wisel ' . sV- "Piggly Wiggly Foods famous brands all assure me of unfailing goodness, and I find Piggly Wiggly .
