Stored Garden Surplus
Will Help Winter Diet
By Bmrau of Home Economics, U. H. fruits and vegetables should do the

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.

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.

"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.
