TO PRODUCE OWN FOOD
Poor to Be Provided With Tools,
Land, and Seed.

Problems Of furnishing tools, land
and garden seed was taken UP today
by members OF the Central Garden
Committee to give Washington's poor
an opportunity TO produce fresh vege-
tables for themselves.
Incapacity of most OF those de
pendent on the Associated Charities to
do things to help themselves, because
of Illness or other conditions, presents
difficulties.

the Associated Charities. said to.

Mr.. Ufford. "If we can find families

be benefited by gardening IT would do

The garden movement is spreading
rapidly throughout the District, ac-

damage-do you? Well don't bother. II
your stomach Is in a revolt; IL sick.
Eassy and upset. and what you Just ate

dizzy and aches; belch gases and acids
and eructate undigested food: breath

Pape's Diapepsin TO neutralize acidity
and in fve minutes you wonder what
became OF the indigestion and distress.
Millions of men and women today
know that II Is needless to have dys-
pepsia- A little Diapepsin occasionally
keeps the stomach sweetened, and they
eat their favorite foods without fear.

your liberal limit without rebellion;

BEANS AND PEAS
SEEM FAVORITES
Washington Likely to Be FED
Up" on Vegetables OF Those
Species by Gardeners.

Beans and peas are favorites with
back yard gardeners, seed dealers
say.
They've bought & lot of string bean
and pea seeds during the last two
weeks" said Russell G. Balderson,
manager of the Neumeyer Company.

Seed and Garden Implement Company.
said its store had a heavy demand for
light seeds during the last two weeks.
Il want to see the home garden sue
coed" said Mr.. Bolgiano, "but would
like to advise people who are fighting
the high cost of living against vast
ing money. They should be careful to
plant the right seeds at the right
time. Beets, potatoes, and radishes
have been proper purchases prior to
this week. Those who have planted
more delicate seeds have taken
chances on the money they are trying
to save, because they have taken
chances on the weather killing the
seed.
From now until the middle of Nav
we expect to have our heaviest seed
selling season.
Lettuce, beans, peas ought to be
planted as soon as there is continued
warm weather"
Washington has bought to exceed
80 per cent more seeds this year
than IL has for more than a decade,
said Lewis T. Miller, Of the Schultz
Seed Store.
I'VE have packed garden seeds in
five and ten cent packages and have
put all our truck seeds up near the
front OF the store to accommodate the

REQUIRE MUCH CARE
Department Bulletin Tells How to
Till Garden Plots.

After garden seeds have sprouted
or after the plants have been set in
the ground the garden needs continue
Gus care and cultivation, says a De-
partment OF rtgriculture bulletin on
THE Small Vegetable Garden" Once
the garden is started the ground
should be kept well titled.
The gardener should never permit
the surface to form a crust Con-
slant stirring should be practIced TO
permit air to facilitate chemical aS-
tion, which destroys weeds and con-
serves the moisture.
The rake is perhaps the gardeners
most valuable tool in cultivatinE.
Where vegetables grow closely in the
rows 1t often will be necessary to sup
plement the cultivation by hand weed
ing. Small implements made for thi.
purpose may be purchased cheaply.
Just as the gardener should be care
ful In early spring not to dig the
ground when the soil Is too moist, SO
he should be careful later In the sea-
SON not to cultivate too soon after
rains. The stirring Of very muddy
soil "puddles" 1t into a compact, ce-
ment-like mass in which the plant
food is securely locked.
The garden will require attention as
soon as excess moisture has soaked
in or partially evaporated. Unless the
ground is stirred a crust will form,
During prolonged dry spells water

CORN MEAL CHEAP
BUT VALUABLE FOOD
Carl vrooman Says as Substi-
tute for Potatoes 1t Should
Have Fiber Balances.
By CARL VROOMAN,

AAeAAA1lIN CCCECNuTy OI
Member National Emergency Food
Garden Commission.
Corn meal is a cheap and valuable
food stuff which is not in as general
use in the American home as il ought
to be. A pound of dry cornmeal pro-
vides about five times as much
energy and. tissue building protein
as does a pound of raw potatoes.
lust now q pound OF cornmeal costs
1-3 to 1-6 as much.
When potatoes are scarce or eI-
nensive; cornmeal makes an excellent
substitute. 1t is not, however, a per-
feet substitute for potatoes, because,
as ii is prepared by modern milling
methods, II contains fewer minerals
and other valuable substances. So
when cornmeal is substituted. bal
ance 1t with another vegetable, a
salad OF a fruit.
Cornmeal mush for breakfast or
supper Is a standard and palatable
dish. Fried. il is an excellent substi-
tute for fried potatoes. There are
dozens OF cornmeal dishes in addition
to the various varieties of cornbread.
Wheat Is known in the north as Bos-
ton Brown bread, is composed of
about one half rye meal and one
half cornmeal. Polenta is anoth-
er cornmeal dish extremely popu-
lar throughout southern Europe
and in certain parts of the United
States. Tamales is another corn dish
in high favor when properly made.
If spectators corner the potato
crop, or as was the case in 1916, IL
the potato crop should be short, corn
meal is the next best thing. Rice is
a partial substitute for potatoes, but
rice now costs more than cornmeal.
Cornmeal is very wholesome.
