Suggests Best
Vegetables To Grow
In Victory Gardens

BOZEMAN.-B Because this year it
is wise policy to order garden
seeds early, now is good time to
give some thought to the kind Of
vegetables that will be grown in
the Victory Garden, paying special
attention to those crops that have
the highest nutritive values, says
E. E. Isaac, extention horticulturist
at Montana State college.
While in normal times it is de-
sirable to devote some land to those
crops that lend either variety or
flavor to the menu, wartime gar
dens must place emphasis on crops
that rate high in food values SO
that the family will have a year
around supply Of vegetables rich in
vitamins and minerals, Isaac said.
Heading UP the list of vegetables
should be tomatoes and cabbage
because of their high vitamin c
content The cabbage may be used
fresh out of the garden and any
surplus made into kraut Tomatoes
are versatile because they may be
prepared in a number of ways and
in addition are easily canned.
Carrots deserve a place close TO
the top of the list because they are
high in vitamin A and contain
good amounts of vitamins B and G.
Too, carrots are easily stored for
winter use.
Green, leafy vegetables such as
chard, kale, spinach, broccoli aid
lettuce are high in vitamin and min
eral content and are excellent for
eating in season. Some Of these may
be canned or dehydrated success
fully for use through the year.
The green and yellow vegetables
such as peas, beans, squash and
corn have place in the garden
because of their nutritive quail
ties. Root crops that are we'll worth
growing include potatoes, turnips
and rutabagas.
Although onions are not rated
highly as vitamin food they should
be grown because of their many
uses in cooking and the added fla
vor they give to what would other
wise be rather tasteless dishes.

Elmer Davidson
Writes of Army
Life in New Mexico

The following letter has been re
ceived from Elmer A. Davidson,
former Libby man who is now WI i
the army air force. He has recently
been transferred from Lincoln,
Neb.. to the Clovis Air Base, Clo-
Wis, N. M. He asks to have his
paper sent to his wife who is now
at Bend, Ore, and continues:
II have been at this base since
Feb. 81, and am really kept very
busy Am working On the line as
we term it, which merely means
servicing and repairing the ships.
This is a bomber squadron, namely,
the B-24 type. Really work us mere
too, and am at present working
IL to Is hours per day.
Don't especially like the coun-
try here, at it is flat as a floor
and not bit of vegetation of any
kind grows. Just red sand wher-
ever you look. Gets very cold
at times, too, and wind-it blows
a regular hurricane all of the time
and you can't imagine how lis
agreeable it really is as this red
sand | spoke of is being thrown
through the air by the shovelful.
They say one has TO eat certain
amount of dirt III his life to be
healthy and if that is the case,
really believe we will live forever
aside from this, we have nice
camp although it is only about two
months old. Have very good chow,
and | enjoy my work even If it
does require Il hours Per day.
Don't think | will have to remain
in this camp for long.
BEST regards TO all of the gang
at the office and to my friends in
Libby You can promise them
that, as it is my job, will do nv
best to Keep EN- Flying. :
