FAMILY FOOD NEEDS
HARD TO Determine
Farmer in Field Requires More
Than the Office Man.
Important to Acquire Liking for All
Kinds Of Wholesome Dishes and
Eating Reasonable Amount
Without Being Greedy.

1t is very hard for housekeeper to
know exactly how much Of each of the
food substances or nutrients her fam
fly needs or exactly how much Of
each she Is giving them. The exact
amount each person needs depends
upon age, sex, size, and amount of
work done with the muscles. An
elderly person. or one Of quiet habits,
needs less food than vigorous. young
one; large person more than a
small one; man more than woman I;
grown persons more than children
and farmer in the bayfield,, me-
chanic, or a football player more than
a man who sits at his desk all day.
In order to calculate exactly how
much starch, sugar, fat, protein, etc.
(or, what is equivalent to this, how
much protein and energy the family
needs, one would have to know ex-
actly how much muscular work each
member performs. how much Of the
different nutrients each food contains.
and how much each person eats. This.
Of course, would mean a great deal Of
figuring. Fortunately, such exact
ness is not necessary In ordinary life.
II a little too much or too little Of one
nutrient is provided at single meal
or on single day healthy body
does not suffer, because 1t has ways
of storing such surplus and Of u.s.
ing its stored material in an emer-
gency. The danger would come If the
diet taken week in and week out al
ways provided too much or too little
of some one nutrient. Against this
danger the housekeeper can more
easily protect her family.
Habit and custom help greatly, be-
cause they usually are based on what
the experience Of generations has
proved is wise and healthful. though,
of course, there are bad habits and
outgrown customs In food as In every.
thing else. Good food habits include
more than cleanliness and order in
everything that has to do with food
and meals and lelsurely ways Of eat
Ing. Equally important are liking
for all kinds of wholesome foods,
even If they have not always been used
In ones home or nelghborhood, and
eating reasonable amounts without be-
ing either too greedy or overdainty.
Every effort should be made to train
children In good food habits. If older
persons have not learned them, they,
too, should try to do SO, for such
things are very important, not only
to health, but also to economy. To
refuse to eat some wholesome dish
simply because one lis not accustomed
to 1t may prevent the use of some
very desirable and economical food.
To feel that there is any virtue in
providing more food than Is needed
shows poor taste as well as poor
economy, say household specialists Of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture.

Division of Markets

The Division of Markets which was
recently established at Dover, is rap
idly proving its worth to the people
of this State. At the present time,
special market information on straw
berries, is being gathered and dissemi-
mated by this division by wire each
day, and the fact that so many grow
ers, dealers and consumers avail
themselves Of this information is evil
dence of it's value.
Exact condition of the markets of
Boston, New York, Baltimore, Phila-
delphia, Chicago and Pittsburgh, is
available each day after 1 o'clock D.
m. This information covers the num-
ber of cars on track at each point,
whether the supplies are heavy or
light, whether the market is strong
or weak, and the predominating prices
paid in each city; also giving the
number Of cars shipped each day
from all sections. Persons who re-
ceive this information advise that it
is very valuable to them in locating
the best market for their products.
The Division Of Markets is very
frequently called upon to furnish
names of dealers in the larger cities,
by growers and manufacturers who
have different commodities to sell,
and also dealers in the large cities
frequently make inquiries as to where
they can purchase certain Delaware
products; this service is gladly per-
formed by the Division Of Markets.
and is proving of great value.
Complete market information is
available on practically all products
at all times, though at this time spec
ial attention is being given to straw
berries. This special market service
will be applied to cantaloupes, apples
and peaches as the season comes on. |

PLAN FOR FRUIT
IN HOME GARDEN
Trees and Bearing Bushes
Should Be Raised in Addition
to the Vegetables.
GROW CROPS BETWEEN TREES
Strawberries, Raspberries, 5Iaekber
ries, Gooseberries, currants and
Others May occupy Same
Space and Do Well.

The more general planting Of both
standard and small fruits in addition
to the home vegetable garden would
contribute materially to the health
and pleasure Of the average family
and furnish a supply of very desirable
fruit and fruit products at relatively
small cost. In many localities it is
extremely difficult to secure a cOntin-
uous supply Of fruits in pleasing va
riety by purchasing on the market,
and one Of the most important fea-
lures of the plan for the home fruit
plantation is the selection Of kinds
of fruits and varieties of those kinds
which Will do well in the given local
ity and which will serve best the pur-
pose for which they are desired.
The home fruit plot will necessarily
be planned from the standpoint of the
available space, the soil and climatic
limitations, and the needs of the fam
lily throughout the year. In many
cases it may be feasible to grow all
the fruit needed, but only that which
can be most readily produced. Among
the fruits that may be grown through
out the greater part of the country
are apples. pears, peaches, plums,
Strawberries, blackberries and dew
berries. Raspberries, currants, cher
ries, ounces, apricOts, figs and citrus
fruits are more or less restricted to
special localities. In colder sections
the winters are too severe for peaches
and all the fruits requiring a warm
climate, while in the warmer sections. |
apples, currants, goOseberries, rasp- |
berries and certain varieties Of several |
of the other fruits fail because they |
cannot withstand the long hot sum-
mers and winters.
The plan of the home fruit garden.
will, therefore, depend largely upon
the kind Of fruits adapted to the To-
cality. On the whole, however, the

Strawberries, First Fruit OF Season
paintings should be so arranged that
the larger growing trees such as apple
peach and pear will interfere the least
with the cultivation of the smaller
fruits or the vegetable garden. In
some of the most successful home
fruit gardens the larger trees are head
ed rather high, that is, or 6 feet to
the lower branches, and row Of small
fruits are grown directly in the row
Of fruit trees. Between the rows of
fruit trees, raspberries, blackberries,
dewberries and Strawberries are plant
ed in rows which are about s. or 8 feet
apart. The vegetables are then grown
in the space between these rows of ber-
ies. Peach trees are, as a rule, plant
ed as filters between apple and pear
trees. Where the area is extremely
limited the semi-dwarf varieties Of ap-
pies are sometimes recommended.
Care should be taken, however, to
provide plenty Of distance between the
iarge-grOwing trees, say 40 to 4S feet
or apples and 20 to so feet for peach
IS, pears and cherries.
Apples, pears, cherries and plums
may be planted as combination fruit
and shade trees, and by heading them
> to feet above the ground, a lawn
may be maintained underneath them.
Plum trees are particularly adapted
to planting in poultry yard, but must
be headed reasonably high and the
trunks protected by wire netting until
the trees are four or five years old

MINE RESCUE
 TRUCKS TRIED
Stiff Competition Won by Graham Bros. Truck With
 Dodge Bros. Engine

For the urgent demands of mine
 rescue work, the state of Ohio re- quired five more sturdy trucks, in
 which the hardy crews of the rescue
 stations could be rushed to the scene
 of mine fires or explosions. To prove
 which of many competing trucks was
 most suitable for this rigorous work.
 the official committee in charge of
 this purchase decided to hold test run starting from Columbus, and l open to all corners. When the test
 began 1t was found that seven diff l ferent trucks Of well-known makes
 were entered in tho competition. l The run began from Columbus to l Jacksontown, thence over q datour to Thornville. and on to New Lexington.
 After covering 40 miles over good 1 pavements varied with moderately
 bad roads, the trucks were strung out for many miles along tho road. l Tho first to reach New Lexington
 was Graham Brothers truck with
 Dodge Brothers power plant.
 For a conclusive test of hill-climb b. i ing power, the committee decided to continue the run to Lick Run Hill, considered the worst hill in the state.
 It Is a mile and quarter long, un- 1 improved, with many bad curves and | q 6AAu9 OA II olli To per cent lO ~ per cent. For this final test, each truck
 was loaded with approximately 5000 pounds of pay load and body.
 Graham Brothers truck. as the first
 to reach New Lexington, was chosen to break the way. At 8 point 100 feet up the hill 1t lost traction. and the driver was forced to back down 20 feet and start again. This time he plowed through to the top with out any trouble. No chains were used. One after another the six other trucks made the attempt to blow up l through the mud. all of them using l chains. One advanced 50 feet in sev-
 en minutes. Another took IA minutes to make the Initial 50 feet of the climb, then stalled for lack of power. None of the six advanced more than 75 feet towards the top of the hill, mile and quarter distant.
 For the committee. the test was
 conclusive, but certain of the com peting drivers pointed out that the only truck to make the grade had
 the advantage of going up before the
 road was cut up. Billy Morris, the
 overheard him. He proceeded to the | top of the hill, brought down his i truck, and this time using chains, sailed up the hill second time with
 out halt or hesitation.
 As a result of this official contest, Charles Zimmerman Sons Co.,, Dodge
 Brothers dealers in Columbus, are delivering to the state of Ohio five Graham Brothers trucks equipped
 with Dodge Brothers power plant.
 The new Graham truck with the
 Dodge power plant Is sold and serv-
 iced in Birmingham by the Brownell
 Auto company.
