GREEN VEGETABLES
FOUND BEST FOR
NUTRITION VALUES
Minerals and Vitamins Are
Stressed by Home Eco
nomics Bureau in Offering
Shopping, Cooking Hints
SOCIETY and CLUBS
By Janet Wray Smith
(Uy Bureau of Home economic, U. 8
Department of Agriculture)
Any tthrowd grocer is fully aware
of the Mies appeal of banks of crisp,
green vegetable, especially when
brightened by a fine spray of water.
They act like a magnet on the
passerby.
And this Is one of tho times when
sales resistance would be no virtue.
Nutrition specialist say a person
should have at least one green or
yellow vegetable a day. And they also
recommend eating some raw vegetable
dally.
Greens have a secure place In the
diet both for esthetic and for health
reasons. They are especially import
ant as a source of minerals and vita
mins. Most of therj have a liberal
amount or the two minerals most
often slighted In American diets:
calcium and- Iron. And vitamin A Is
usually present In abundance. Many
of tho greens are excellent sources
also of vitamin C, good sources of :
vitamin B, gnd good to excellent In I
vitamin O content.
The Greener The Ifctter
The greener the leafy vegetable,
the higher Is Its Iron and vitamin
A content. The mora blanched the
leaf the poorer It Is In these two
dietary essentials. Turnip tops, for
lnst mice, are much more nutritious
than head lettuce.
When the average person hears
the word greens he usually thinks
first of spinach. And spinach Is a
god leafy vegetable. But scientists
say other groens are quite as good.
Beet tops, chard, dandelion, greens,
mustard greens, turnip tops and
watercress are often richer than spin
ach both In calcium and In iron,
and quite as good for the vitamins.
In shopping for any of the leafy
Tradables, of course, you look for
fresh, young, green, tender -loaves. If
loaves are very dirty, or are dry, or
yellow, or have coarse stems, you'll
look for a better buy. Such leaves
probably will not be palatable or nu
tritious and will mean considerable
waste.
Test Head Firmness
When you're buying lettuce you'll
give the hoed a little hand pressure
to find how firm it Is. And you'll
look for signs of tip-burn, the tell
tnlo brown edging the leaves, par
ticularly In the Innermost parte of
the head. They would have to be
trimmed off and so mean waste They
are caused by unfavorable growing
oontlltlons and may later becomo
limy areas and then, of course, you
Slave decay and an unusable head of
lettuce.
In shopping for broccoli, try to
discover If the stalks are tender and
firm. See that the buds In the heads
are compact and that not more than
an occasional one has opened enough
to show the full yellow or purple
color of tho blossoms. Wilted or flab
by stalks aro wasteful and often
toutfh.
As to serving green vegetables,
many of them can be eaten raw as
well as cooked. And that goes for
p!uach qs well as for the dandelions
and cn'fis. Whoever has never tasted
spinach In any form except cooked,
might try Its tender leave served
Just like lettuce or cress with a good
Mind dressing.
ii.lrk Cooking Ail vised
Though even the most careful
cooking rnnults in some nutritive loss, i
much of the minerals and vitamins'
nvty bo conserved. Heat la an enemy ;
tooth of color and of vitamin C; so
green should be subject to It for i
as short a time as possible. And since
some of the mineral sails are easily i
dissolved In the water, the leeves !

Southwest Adds
New Color Range.
Designers have found a whole new
range of colors. Inspired by the Pan.
American exposition which will open
In Dallas, Texas, on June 12, they
have gone color-researching among
the remnants of the- brilliant- clvlll
zntlon that flourished four centuries
ago In the region of the Rio Grande.
Seven new strong primitive colors
and five somewhat softer shades are
the result.
The first group features Aztec red,
Toltec green, Mayan blue and Incan
gold all used In the official exposi
tion flag and desert dusk (much
like the lavender-brown called "this
tle") toucan (a strong yellow -orange)
and chill copper (a warm, soft pot
tery tone).
Less brilliant hues Included In the
second group are desert dawn, a soft.
rosy color; pampas beige, which has
a decided pink cast; aombrero. a
putty tone, and Magellan gray, a
delicate pearl gray.

should be cooked In only enough
water to prevont scorching. With spin
ach, Just the water that la left on
the leaves after they are washed will
be sufficient.
Plant acids are among the worst
enemies of the green coloring mat
ter of the leaves. Heat frees these
acids, lets them attack the green and
break It down Into ugly brown com
pounds. Some of the acids, howover,
go off with the steam during the
flrat momenta of the cooking But if
a lid Is on the kettle the acids in
tho steam Just collect on the lid
and drop back onto the leaves to
attack the green coloring matter. So
to keep the leaves as green as pos
sible, cook them In an uncovered
utenll.
To cut down on cooking time and
thus save more nutrients, it's a good
Idea to snip off the stems of spinach
and discard them If they're tough
or Lf they're not, start them cooking
berore adding the leaves. With chard,;
you might use your kitchen scissors!
to advantage, cutting the midrib out
and giving It a few minutes hoad '
stnrt of the thinner part of the leaf,
Hints On Conking
To speed the cooking of broccoli, i
discord the woody ends, and spilt
the stalks Into lengthwise quarters
so that each one will have a tuft of
the buds.
If you add vinegar or lemon Juice
to your greens, do so after cooking
them. It's that old feud between the
acids and green coloring again. They
soon turn the cheerful green of the
leaves to a drab olive cost. You might
mix the vinegar In Just before you
bring the dish to the table. Or bet
ter yet Just pass the vinegar cruet
and let everyone at the table use
as much or as little as he pleases.
Butter gives a pleasing flavor to I
any dish of greens say about 1
tnblespoons of It for each 2-cup
quantity. Or bacon Jnt with, bits of
crisp bacon.
Whatever your pet way of preparing
greens, by all means get them Into
the menu somehow. In the spring
wild varieties are so easily available
and cultivated kinds so reasonable
that one can fairly revel In them.
REDDING , Cal. (UP) High la the
Sierra watershed, this thriving com
munity awaits actual construction on
me central valleys project, Califor
nia $70,000,000 solution to its great
est problemwinter floods and sum
mer water shortage.
Completion of preliminary surveys
and selection of nearbv Kennett n
tho focal dam site have been an
nounced.
Magnitude of the project almost
staggers the Imagination. Greater
than fomed Boulder canyon dam de
velopment, the central valleys pro
ject Includes plana for a SOO-mlle
waterway from the upper Sacramento
river, down through tho Sacramento
and San Joaquin valleys to the great
citrus fruit regions of southern Cal
:fornla. The valleys lie midway between the
Sierra range and the Pacific coast,
and San Francisco and Los Angeles
lean heavily upon their productivity.
San Francisco's dependency has been
conservatively placed at 9600,000,000
and that of Los Angeles at S 120, 000,
000. Project to pay Out
A self-liquidating undertaking, the
project will repay federal loans by
sale of water and power.
The 420 foot dam at Kennett at
the headwaters of the Sacramento
river will Impound 3,000,000 acre feet
of water, half as much as the com
bined total of California's 750 other
dams, assuring a year-round controll
ed river flow. The dam will g've to
800.000 acres of settled lands flood
protection valued at $14,000,000 and
assure year-round . river navigation
valued at $15,000,000.
Spectacular engineering feats will
be necessary.
The main lino of the Southern Pa
Ulver Boats to Ply
States highway 99 will be radically
revamped.
Kennett Itself will be at the bot
tom of a huge lake, with the water's
surface far above the present roof
tops. A double-deck bridge, with the
world's tallest piers, will carry auto
mobile and railroad traffic far above
the then swollen waters of the Pitt
river.
River Boats toPly
River boats, a Joy to the hearts
of sentimentalist and a source of
profit to businessmen, again will
reach Red Bluff, 60 miles south of
here, from Sacramento and San Francisco.
Inland encroachment of salt water
from the San Francisco bay area will
be halted, likewise aridity In the San
Joaquin valley.
At the top of the San Joaquin wat
ershed, the 4,000-foot Frlant dam
will become the longest concrete dam
In the world, making the San Joa
quin river run backward and carry
ing much needed Irrigation water
over step dams under pressure.
Fron? a national viewpoint Interest
center, on the project because Its
completion will mean assurance of
water normalcy In an area from which
are drawn the country's choicest spe
cialty crops of raisins, figs, olives,
prunes, citrus fruits, vegetables and
cotton.
To Harvest Vast Area
Wbnn all t the seemingly "Insur
mountable" engineering problems
have been solved and numerous oth
er pieces fitted Into the gigantic
Jigsaw, California will have harness
ed and put to work the 20 million
acre feet of surplus water that now
sweeps away in destructive floods.
Legal, economic and tinanclal prob
lems regarding rights of way, selec
tion of dam sites, provision for trans
mission to commercial markets, and
engineering questions, occupied many
days of conference between U. S. rec
lamation officials and the California
water authority.
The big Job will require:
More than 7,000,000 cubic yards of
concrete; 28.809.000 pounds of rein
forcing steel; 114.543,000 pounds of
structural steel: 6,496,000 barrels of
cement; 38,311,000 cubic yards of ex
cavation, and 186,224,000 man-houTB
of labor.
Fund Set Alde
An executive order from President
Roosevelt In 1935 ordered allocation
of $15,000,000 to begin construction
of storage reservoirs on the Sacra
mento and San Joaquin rivers.
The 74th congress later appropria
ted nearly $7,000,000, but meanwhile
the president's sum was cut to $4.
500,000, leaving approximately $11,
400,000. Some 400 men already are engaged
in the p rem 111 nary work, but the
blueprint are drawn and even now
men are drifting here, asking for
Jobs. Seven years probably will be
required to complete the project.
