GARDENERS ARE
GIVEN ADVICE BY
THE DEPARTMENT
Comes From NutritiOnist Of
State Department Of Health.
Ask For Bulletins

This advice to home gardeners
comes from the Nutritionist of the
State Department of Health.
"Time to get your garden start
ed-and when you plant, keep in
mind your family's needs for next
winter as well as for this summer.
"By careful planning and planting,
and a reasonable amount of favorable
weather, your garden can be your
main source of protective foods, for
your entire family, all the year round.
"To supply the needs of family
for fresh, canned, and stored vege-
tables for the entire year, the Ex-
tension Service Of the University of
Maryland, advises home gardeners to
arrange for two paintings of a care
fully selected variety of vegetables.
It is suggested that each planting in
clude four leafy vegetables, three
root, two pod, and three or four 9TH
ers.
"The Service estimates that two
paintings in plot covering about an
acre should yield an amount suffi-
cient for family of four.
"Kale, cabbage, lettuce and spinach
are among the leafy vegetables, and
grow well in this section; potatoes,
turnips, beets, carrots and radishes,
among the "roots"-turnip tops and
beet tops can be used as greens
also. Peas and lima beans answer
the next requirement; and onions,
string beans, corn, tomatoes, and Gel
cry, make important and appetizing
additions to the list.
"Green or yellow vegetables are
important: They furnish vitamin A.,
which helps growth and helps to
build resistance :: against Infection.
Kale, turnip greens, spinach, lettuce,
asparagus, chard, collards, beet tops,
corn, squash are among the
sources Of vitamin A.
Tomatoes can be used daily! They
furnish vitamin C, which prevents
scurvy. They can be used instead of
oranges. Other good sources of Wit
amin C, when served raw, are cab
bage, radishes, turnips, onions, green
peppers and lettuce.
Potatoes are a good source of
energy and furnish minerals and Wit
amins as well. At least one a day
for every member of your family
means that you must plan on plant
ing large supply of potatoes.
every one needs two servings of
in addition to potato
every day. Beans, beets, cauliflower,
egg plant, peas, rutabagas and many
other vegetables will help to furnish
variety.
Remember, vegetables are among
our protective foods. Plant enough
for your years supply. Ask your
County Extension Service for bulle-
tins which will help you to plant
wisely and WE'LL"

EASTERN SHORE
VEGETABLE MEN
HOLD MEETING
Convened In Princess Anne To
Consider Plans For Opera
ton Of Auction Block

The Board of Directors of the
Eastern Shore Vegetable Growers
Cooperative, met in Princess Anne
last week to consider plans for the
operation of the auction block at Prin
cess Anne the coming season.
The two Directors reelected at the
annual meeting of the members held
last February were present along
with the other members of the Board.
The directors reelected for three
year terms are w. J. McDorman and
Charles Boston. Other members
present at the meeting were: H. H.
Anderson, Arthur Landlord, Charles
Wagner, and E. Walter Long, Secre-
tary and Treasurer and F. D. Lay
fell, Clerk.
The following officers were reflect
ed for the ensuing year:
President, H. H. Anderson.
Vice-President, Arthur Landlord.
Secretary-Treasurer and Manager,
E. Walter Long.
The directors unanimously elected
Edwin Muir for auctioneer and F. D.
Layfie1d as clerk during the season.
The directors also voted to increase
the commission for selling strawber-
ries from 1h cents crate to 2 cents
a crate. This action was thought ad-
visable due to the possibility of a
short crop and improvements which
are to be made to grounds.
All farmers who sell their produce
under the auction block, become men,
bers in the association and q record
Of all sales are kept and each farm
ar has an individual record of the
commissions paid and this is his
share of the assets of the association
and will be the basis of patronage
dividends in the future.
The auction block will open for the
second season on the new location on
the old high school grounds, probably
the first of the coming week, around
the Goth or as soon as the straw
berries are ready for market.
Last year the block opened on May
oath, one of the latest dates in the
past twenty years. On this date last
year 234 sales of 2031 crates were
sold for an average price of $3.O5.
Last year a total of 66,957 crates
were sold for $116,724 an average
price of $1.74.
Present prices of Strawberries are
low probably due to the dry weather
in North Carolina and possibly small
berries.
Recent rains should benefit the
crop in this section but heavy loss
from severe attacks of the weevil or
clipper will greatly curtail the crop
and should cause some Improvement
in prices during the season.

Wheeler Wants Roosevelt
To Support Investigation

WASHINGTON, Feb. z Up -
Senator Wheeler (D-Mont.) said
today that if President Roosevelt
':is so anxious to find out who is
aiding Germany in this country
he should support a projected SEN
ate investigation of Germany's
holdings in American defense in
dustries.
Wheeler, opponent of the admin
istration's British aid bill, has had
several exchanges with Mr.. Roose-
welt recently. When he said this
week that the United States was
sending IS per cent of its aircraft
production to Great Britain, the
President declared that the head
Of the German Reich must be graft
fed to receive such information.
The Montana senator recalled in
a statement today that he had OBJ
tanned senate approval last year
OF an investigation into German
patent holdings in this country,
her interests in American defense
industries and the military bene-
fits she has received from the
United States.

. Man About Manhattan
BY GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-One day
not long ago, not more than a week
ago-on a Wednesday afternoon, a
matinee afternoon-the secretary
OF an advertising man l know went
to the theater.
1t was a terrible afternoon. It
had been showing, and it turned
to sleet, and then the rains came,
changing the side streets to slush,
and everybody got wet, including
the heroine of this tale. Yes, she
was wet to her knees, and cold.
But it was too late to turn back.
She had been waiting weeks to see
Ethel Barrymore in THE Corn Is
Green" and so she went inside
and found herself sitting directly
behind a young woman with one
Of the worst coughs she had ever
heard.
This cough tore up the aisles and
ratified against the walls of TIL e
theater. 1t sounded as if men were
ripping planks from an attic floor,
and even the actors on the stage
noticed it.
Finally, in the third act the
young woman with the wet knees
leaned over and touched the young
woman with the cough on the
shoulder. TRY one Of these" she
whispered, handing over a pack
age of coughdrops.
Thank you," the cougher muir
INJURED gratefully. She took one and
placed in in her mouth and re-
turned the package.
Apparently these tablets had the
answer, for the young woman was
able to sit through the rest of the
play in comparative comfort. As

tied, and the young woman with
the wet knees boarded a subway
for home.
1t must have been about t n
minutes later that she experienced
a minor furry of coughing herself.
She drew the coughdrops from
her purse and was about to take
one, when, to her horror, she dis
covered that they weren't cough

She was in a panic because she
hadn't the least idea whether they
were poisonous or not. And she
didn't know who the other girl was.
No, she hadn't the remotest idea
who she was or where to find her,
and so she hurled herself off the
subway when it stopped and into
a taxi and hurried to her doctors.
The doctor listened carefully to
what she had to say. He began to
examine one Of the little tablets
in minutest detail. He powdered it
and placed it under a microscope.
He said, slowly, Don't worry, it
