food needs, often con bring about c better balanced diet by taking it up with the management, Other wise, 1t might be wise to piece out your meals with fruit and milk, and possibly other missing items, outside your boarding place.
 THREE REASONS FOR FOOD
 Nutritionlsts tell us we need food for three general purposes fuel for heat and activity mate- rial for building and repairing the body, and certain substances for regulating body processes. Carbo- hydratcS and fats are used chief ly as fuel. Fuel value of food is measured in terms of calorels We need Q definite number of calories to keep warm and to keep going. If VIC eat too many calories the excess is stored aS fat.
 Protein is on essential body. building aid repair material, and is the one used in largest quan- tity for that purpose. Some food materials are needed il extreme ly small amounts--for instance the amount of iron needed daily Is smaller than Q pinhead, but it cannot he replaced by any other food substance.
 Here are some things tho nutri- ton specialists recommend,
 Use green, leafy vegetables often particularly spinach, kale, chard, collards, mustard greens, cabbage, broccoli, beet or turnip tops. Save vitamins and minerals in all vcge- tables by not cooking longer, or in more water, than necessary. Use the cooking juices. DO not use soda

I25 LBS. SUGAR
FOR CANNING
OPA Allowing Each Person
Limit of 25 Pounds For
Home Canning
CARE URGED IN USE

The Office of Price Administra-
tion Monday fixed a top limit of 20
pounds of sugar per person for
home canning and freezing of this
years fruit crop. Except for the
specific maximum, sugar for home
canning will be allocated on sub
stantially the same basis as last
year-one pound of sugar for each
four quarts (or eight pounds) for
the finished product. With the 20
pound limit, any family may apply
for sugar to put up jams, jellies,
and preserves at the rate of five
pounds per person. Last year the
limit for preserves was one pound.
There was no nationwide limit last
year on the amount of sugar allow
ed each person, but some boards set
individual limits of 10 or Is pounds.
while others allowed as much as 40
pounds.
Care Urged in Use
Price Administrator Prentiss M.
Brown urged those who can their
own fruits and vegetables to use
their processed foods rations spar
ingly. EVERY can of commercially
packed foods saved by these folks
through home canning is a direct
and important contribution to our
war effort" he said. 1--WE can run
the total into hundreds of millions
of cans. Let's do it." Beginning
May Is, rationing boards through
out the country will begin receiving
applications under the new regula-
tion. No special form. is required,
unless it is planned to sell the
home product, and applications
may be made in person or by mail.
Must Show Ration Book
Each applicant must furnish a
copy of War Ration Book No. l for
each person for whom home-can-
ming sugar is sought, the total num-
ber of quarts or pounds to be put
up and the amount of sugar to be
used for making jams and jellies.
Home Gamers may make gifts of
both fruits and vegetables, but no
person may give away more than
so quarts. Any gifts in excess of
that amount and all sales can be
made only by the collection of blue
stamps at the rate of s points per
quart.

SOYBEANS ARE VALUABLE
Best Annual Crop For the Della
ware Farmers

Soybeans are one of the best an
nual crops grown in Delaware.
Right now they are important be-
cause they furnish large amounts
of fats and oils used in production
of industrial products and muni-
tions. Especially so, since several
other sources of these materials
have been cut off. For the general
farmer, however, their Importance
lies in their value as hay and sill
age, as grain, or for soil improve
ment, according to C. E. Phillips,
forage crop specialist for the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. They add large quantities of
available nitrogen to the soil, which
is of unusual Importance during the
emergency when commercial nitro
gen is scarce. Unless soybeans
have been grown on the field within
a year or two, incubation is essen
tial. Soil from a soybean field or
a commercial culture can be mixed
with seed just before seeding. Soy
beans respond well to lining. For
all purposes except oil production,
Wilson Black is the best variety.
Manchu is best for oil production.
Other varieties in order of prefer
ence are Scioto, Mandell, Ohio
Manchu No. 1, Illini, and Dunfield.
The soybeans should be planted be-
tween May 10 and June 10 for
grain or hay, and until July 1 for
soil improvement.

Temporary Shortage i'm Kent
County Found Due To
BOttleneck
USDA CHECKS CAUSE

Cause for a temporary shortage
of farm gasoline in Kent County
has been removed by the Delaware
United States Department of Agri-
culture War Board. At the height
of the spring planting and cultivat-
ing season one of the larger gaso-
line distributors on the Eastern
Shore notified it's farm customers
that its quota of non-highway gas
oline for the month was exhausted
Farmers left their stalled tractors
and trucks in the fields and storm
ed the offices of ration boards and
rationing committees of County
War Boards. They were directed
to the State USDA War Board at
Newark, Delaware.
Discovered Bottleneck
Clarence E. Ocheltree, Chairman
of the Agricultural Adjustment
Agency, and the State War Board
and L. E. Cain, assistant to the
board, followed the trail of the
missing gasoline all the way
from the farm to the Office of Pc
troleum Co-ordinator Harold L.
Ickes and half way back again be-
fore they discovered the bottleneck
An executive in the regional offices
of the oil company had never seen

moving all restrictions on farm
gasoline and instructing the dis
tributors and their retail stations
not to charge aaginst their month
