List of Vitanines You
Need for Good Health

MalnutrltlOn is q subject tndt mas
received a great deal of attention re-
Gently since the discovery of vitamines
or the vitamine theory has been ex-
pounded. 1t has been discovered that
while there may be a sufficient guam
tity of food it is quite possible to be
undernourished with a full stomach
three times a day. The reason is the
absence of vitamines, according TO the
vitamine theory and the other end of
the argument is the absence of min
nutrition of the body. Whichever it
may be vegetables furnish the needed
factor in proper nutrition.
The vitamines which are classified
as A, B, C and D, are contained in
milk and leaf vegetables, particularly
the leaf vegetables or those the leaves
of which are food articles. 1t is also
known that the vitamine content and
value is greater when they are eaten
raw.
growth and its absence is the frequent
causes of malnutrition, particularly in
children who are backward in growth
and subject to various ailments. Vege-
tables furnishing this element are
string beans, cabbages, carrots, corn,
SWISS chard, beet greens, lettuce,
green peas, spinach and tomatoes.
The B vitamine is important in that
its absence from the diet induces stom-
ach and intestinal troubles, neuritis
and other ailments. 1t is supplied by
cooked vegetables as well as raw,
beans. beets, cooked cabbage, carrots,
caulifiower, raw onions, peas, pota-
toes, in short, most of the cooked root
crops.
Vitamine c has considerable to do
with the temper. Its absence leads to
and in extreme cases leads
to scurvy. Cabbage and the cooked
root crops also furnish this vitamine.
The vitamine d is yeast growth.
Green and cooked vegetables if eat
en- as a regular part of the diet will
furnish the vitamines necessary for
good health and development. II the
vitamine theory is not accepted they
furnish the mineral salts which are
essential and without which
the human machine cannot be kept in
repair and in efficient working order.

LOW CORN YIELDS

It must certainly be admitted that
the average farmer producing but 26
bushels Of corn to tho acre, is not
making much profit. Perhaps he is
little more than breaking even. Why,
then, are most farmers willing to pro-
duce these low yields? Simply be-
cause there is no easy road to success
in corn growing or in anything else.
To grow a big acre yield of corn, year
in and year out, a lot Of planning is
necessary. Seed must be selected,
cared for and tested. Formerly, it was
considered sufficient to test seed corn
for termination only, but recently it
has been found that much corn root
rot can be eliminated by careful field
selection and further by using the
modified germation test for the detec-
ton of diseased ears. A high-yieldjng
strain or variety of corn must be de-
veloped or secured from some sue
cessful corn breeder. A crop rotation
including clover or other legume
crops is another essential to the pro-
duction of a good corn crop on most
soils. A we'll prepared seed he'd and
careful cultivation cannot be over
looked.
1t is possible, however, to do all
this and still fail to get a big yield
per acre if proper provision is not
made for plant food. It matters not
how good the seed, how careful the
testing, or how thorough the cultiva-
tion may be, the crop will always be
limited by the supply Of available
plant food in the soil. There is no es-
Gaping this fact, and no farmer who
really wants to raise big crop of
corn to the extent that he is willing to |
make the necessary effort can afford |
to overlook it. The men who are the |
most successful corn growers and who |
produce far more than the average |
every year have, as a rule, paid con-
siderable attention to the important
question Of soil fertility as well as to
the other essential factors in corn
The same principles ap-
ply whether the crop is being grown
for the purpose Of winning a prize or
just to produce high quality corn at
The lowest possible cost per bushel.

The strawberry season is approach

annual spell of worrying, over the

sure is the fact, that pickeTs from
other sections come to the large grow
ing section to help gather the crop.
Some folks go so far as to say, that
