clay soil, such as is found so much in
Washington.
Suggests Next Years Crop.
A better plan, however. for this
kind OF soil, is not to plan for results
this year, but early in August have
the ground broken up and narrowed,
then sow crimson clover and vetch,
and next spring plow all this under
and your ground is ready without any
other fertilizer, other than little of
the commercial varieties on the mar
ket, worked into the soil when culti-
waiting the growing vegetables.
Never cultivate your vegetables
while the ground is wet. Wait until
it has dried out, after a rain, enough
to crumble nicely. Then do 1t all at
once, by merely crumbling the crust
with a rake, and get the fresh dirt
against the vines or stalks, not heap
ing it, but just enough to serve as
a mulch to retain the moisture.
The crimson clover will prepare the
soil for corn or any kind Of vegetables.
II your ground slopes much. make small
terraces Of about two or three hundred
square feet to each fiat place, so that
rains may sink into the soil instead OF
washing your ground all away.

HOW TO PREPARE"
IN HOME KITCHEN
Carl Vrooman Tells How House.
wives May Contribute to
Nations Resources.
BY CARL VROOMAN,
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture.
Member of the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission.

Member of the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission.
The domestic life of a modern army
should be an example to every Ameri-
can housewife. In the army the ra-
tion is. well balanced, the cheapest
nutritious apd palatable foods are
purchased, and the most economical
means of preparing them are used.
1t is a patriotic duty at this time
and all the time, whether there is war
or peace, for every American woman,
rich or poor, to keep her home pre-
pared Home preparedness means
substitution of cheap, appetiZing
dishes for costly foods, practical elm
ination of waste, and scientifically
balanced rations.
There are two great groups of
foods that enter into a balanced !hu-
man ration-the protein group, like
meats, eggs, and beans and the starch
group, such as potatoes, rice, cereals,
bread, etc. The protein, foods as a
rule are more expensive than the
starchy foods. Some protein foods,
however, are cheap. The prime fac
tor in economy in foods is the choice
time cheap and palatable.
A cheap food, rich in protein and
fats. is the ordinary field soys bean,
often sold under the name togo
bean" Ten cents worth at the price
of 10 cents a quart will supply over
five ounces of protein, while average
beef at 20 cents a pound will supply
little over one ounce Of protein for
the same money.
Excellent soups can be made from
the water in which soy beans are
cooked, as well as from the water
in which most vegetables are boiled.
Save also vegetable tops, skim milk,
bones, and meat scraps for soups.
Make the butcher give you all the
fat that he weighs with your cut of
meat-it's valuable grease
Don't depend on one kind of food.
When potatoes are dear, remember
that one pound of dry corn meal pro-
vides about five times as much fuel
or energy and five times as much
tissue building protein as one pound
of raw potatoes and cost from one
third to one-sixth as much.
Raisins are rich in sugar, mineral
salts, and the natural grape acids and
their cost is low.
Whole wheat, cooked till 1t burts
open, or cracked in a little $3.50 hand
mill, is one of the most delicious and
nourishing breakfast foods known
and inexpensive even at the present
high price of wheat.
Save fuel and labor by making hot
breads only when using your fire for
the cooking of other foods. Avoid
the danger of overlooking. and con
serve the flavor of your dinner by
using a fireless cooker. You can make
a good one yourself very cheaply.
By such expedients as these every
woman can prepare" her home not
only against war but also against
sickness and hard times.

washington's amateur gardeners
may have all the street sweepings

Sweepings will be available at

some time enjoyed this privilege. The
fertilizing qualities of the sweepings
are enhanced by the addition of
lekves and manure dumped at these
places last fall.
Another dump is located at Thir-

tanned to take this fertilizer. From
this dump the District workhouse at

GERMAN DISHES INTERNED
Chicago Hotel Keepers Eliminate
All Teutonic From Menu Cards.

CHICAGO, April S.-'German fried
potatoes" and German pot roast
are officially interned in Chicago for
a period extending over the dura-
tion of the war, and possibly longer.
At a special meeting of the Chi
cago Hotel Keepers Association it
was decided to eliminate all signs of
German parentage from the articles
of their menus. The dishes them
selves will not be tampered with,
but the "monikers" are all due for
revision.
Hereafter it will be american
noodles" potatoes. and pancakes. No
decision has been reached as to
the name of the toothsome wiener
Echnitzel and other dishes of un.
changeable Teutonic nomenclature.
The innovation goes into effect i'm
mediately.
