Peter G9SaA was tirSe present.
I'd back In 1852 when the United
States lost the world markets in
which it used to sch Its SURPRISES,
The idea Of storing those S0TpluSee
against lean years loked ridiculous,
Yet along came the SrouRhtS Of
1854 and 1885, and Oh how those
SURPRISES helped maintain supply
and keep down prices.
Again, in 1887, when the corn
caEry-oper was only l70 million
bushels and the wheat cArvy~over
was only loo million bushels, wal
lace called attention to the fact
that these SURPRISES should be 6o0~

but also turnips to eat. For greens
alone, however, gardeners usually
rely on the Seven-top leafy variety.
This Is another crop that can be

The very smallest Victory Gar

as important In the diet to eat raw
as to use cooked. II you have space,
you'll want to have at least row Of
cabbage. Golden Acre and Glory Of

recommended. Buy plants from q

Late cabbage, for table use, and
also for storing, can be planted be-

varieties are the Wisconsin All Sea-

ENRB Dn WTNU VWT AM1VN
Still another good leafy green
vegetable for early spring Is Swiss
chard. The big green leaves, which
are tender and Of good flavor, are
rich In Vitamin A. Remove the
outer leaves for eating, and the
plants will keep on forming new
leaves from the center. The Lucul-
lus or Ford-hook Giant variety Is
popular, and o half ounce Of seed
will provide enough chard for the
average family.
Beets will be grown in millions Of
Victory Gardens this year. Tops
from trimmings made when the
plants are about four inches high
should be eaten as greens-not
throw away. They are source OF
Vitamin A and also one Of the i'm

For all-around health, everyone
should get at least one serving Of
green vegetables every day. So grow
plenty Of leafy green vegetables In
your Victory Garden, and then be
sure to eat them.

BY JAMES McGLNCY

United Press Stan CoFrespOndent)
London, March 23-(UP)--British
air and ground forces, working TO.
ward closer collaboration, were de-
veloping today the program for
fulfilling Prime Minister Winston
Churchill's promise Of q fJlll-scale
inavSaon Of Nazl-occupied Europe.
An indication Of the imminence
Of o major second front was seen
In two developments-the compile
ton Of the biggest army maneuvers
ever held In Britain and the use Of
speedy mosquito bombers as long
range fighter planes. a.
The maneuvers by combined Brit
ish and Canadian armies was the
most impressive Of the two for It
was the first time home armies had
tested system for closer land-air
cooperation, such as that success
fully proven by Gen. Sir Bernard
L. Montgomery and Air Marshal Sir
Arthur Conongham in the Mid
East.
The army field tests also showed
two other outstanding developments
"a large-scale demonstration Of Of
fenSlve rather than defensive fight
ing, and methods. Of combating ex-
tensive demolition such as would
occur In an invasion Of the continent.
The use Of mosquito bombers as
long-range bombing escorts FITS into
the picture, especially In view Of the
trend toward closer air-land CO.
operation.
These planes, acclaimed In some
quarters as the worlds fastest
bombers, were the ones that swept
over Berlin on January 30 just as
Reich Marshal Herman Goering was
ready to begin an address.
While heretofore It has been used
primarily as bomber, the mosquito
has considerable fighting equipment
including four Comm cannon and
four 1903 machine guns, beside q
rack Of four 500-pound bombs.
The mosquitoes may solve the need
Of the Royal Air Force for long
range escorts for daylight bombing
such as would be necessary when
the second front opens.
Considered much faster than any
German bomber the mosquito with
Its added range presents o problem
to the Luftwaffe which will cost the
Germans many planes TO solve.

BUTTER SHORTAGE
TO BE TEMPORARY

Slight relief from the butter
shortage Is expected when ration
ing starts next week, according TO
local retailers and wholesalers who
fear that sufficient supplies will not
be stocked this week. The point sys-
tenn, however, in time is expected to
remove much Of the distress Of con-
sumers who have been unable to OBJ
tain a share Of the scarce commod-
ity.
Although local retainers are con-
cerned about the limitation Of sup
plies, another main worry is the
shortage of help. Several employers
have reported inability TO obtain
regular clerks, and are using high
school students on part-time
basis. Many Of the students also are
reported however, to be leaving for
jobs in industrial plants.
