More dried beans are in store for
us.
Fresh fruits and vegetables will
depend on crops, labor for har-
vesting and transportation. Re-
strictions on commercial canning
will mean fewer cans on the gro
Gerry shelves. The best insurance
is for every Mississippian to plant
his own garden and can his own
fruits and vegetables.
Meat rationing is expected IN
1913, but each of us will get
fair share. Poultry and eggs are
a big help here but increased de-
mand for dried eggs for overseas
shipment will be tremendous.
Home production here will be OF
great assistance. too.
The total milk supply will be
about the same as last year, but
large shipments overseas will
probably mean less for civilians.
In view of these facts, it will
be well Cor every homemaker to
resolve:
To learn more about food val
ueS
To waste no food
ITO grow and raise as much food
at home as possible.

good nutrition Will not be enough
to insure better diets. Civilians
will be unable to get as much of
some important foods such as
meat, butter, milk, and many
fruits and vegetables as they
would be able and willing to buy.
The food we civilians will have
this year will depend on several
things - the weather, necessary
farm supplies such as labor, ma
chinery, and fertilizer, and on
processing and transportation.
The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture predicts that we will have
plenty of cereal and breads this
year. Fats and oils will not be
so plentiful. That means fewer
fried foods, rich sauces and gray
les and oily dressings, but there
will still be enough for hea1thful
eating.
Sugar will be scarce just cs 1t
was in 1912. Other than its sweet
flavor, sugar he's nothing to offer
but calories. We can get the ed
ditional calories for energy from
eating more whole grain foods,
potatoes and beans, and at the
same time add valuable vitamins
and minerals.
There will be more sweet DO
tatoes but fewer Irish potatoes.
