Soys Home Gardens
Should Produce
Health Giving Foods

The II. S. Department of Agri
culture said today that the national
Victory Garden program is intend
ed to encourage home gardeners not
only to provide more food, but also,
to grow the foods that contain
healthgiving minerals and vitamlns
in the greatest abundance. The full
foods is obtained from weryET
est measure of these protective
foods is obtained from well-groWn,
freshly gathered vegetables, the De-
partment pointed out.
Garden specialists of the Depart
ment said:
Nearly all commonly grown veg !
etables contain one or more health
protecting minerals as well as vita
minis. Some, of course, are better
sources than others. However, it is
only when the vegetables are we'll
grown, harvested in their prime,
and promptly and carefully pre-
pared that it is possible to secure
the highest values from them In
cidentally, only then do they give
flavors that distinguish them from
most commercially produced prod
ucts.
The home gardener should rot
only work out plan to get the best
use of his plot of land, but also 10
insure a plentiful supply of the
most important sources of minerals
and vitamins throughout the sea
son. 1t is not enough to make single
paintings in the spring of spinach
lettuce, beans, tomatoes, etc, add
tional paintings should be made a:
the season progresses SO that thu
harvest may continue as long as the
weather permits.
Spinach, tomatoes, cabbage, car
rots, beet green's, kale, and SNAP
beans are all good sources of vita
minis and in most cases of minerals
Many Of these crops are good sup
Elementary sources of thiamin anc
riboflavin. Green lima beans are al
SO rated by the Bureau of Home &c
onomics as an excellent source o
thiamin (B1). Chard, turnip greens
collards, sweet corn, sweet pota
toes and parsnips, are classed a
good sources.
With such wide variety of crop
to choose from, the home gardenc
should find little difficulty in pro
viding his family with a varied, ap
petizing and health-protecting die
from his garden plot, be it larg
or small.

Lifts Ban.
On Wheat
Marketing

Secretary of Agriculture Claude
r. Wickard on February % suspend
ed wheat marketing quotas IN q
new move to insure adequate food
and feed supplies for the nations
war effort.
The secretary's action, taken un-
der the authority of the emergency
provisions of the Agriculture Adj
justment Act. lifts marketing quotas
for the remainder of the l942-43
marketing year and for 1894, and
releases at once for feed or market
any wheat which has been stored
off the market because of the quota.
At the same time, the Secretary
announced that wheat farmers VINO
in 1943 meet 80 per cent of -helr
farm war crop goals will be ellgl-
BILE for AAA wheat payments and
wheat loans even though they ex-
coed their wheat allotments. This
provision it was pointed out, Will
enable wheat farmers, IN areas
where other crops are not SO sue
cessfully grown, to increase their
wheat production.
The Secretary urged wheat farm
ers, however. to MAINTAIN Careful
farming practices SO as not to leop-
ardize future wheat crops. he Ie-
called the wind and water erosion
and resultant low yields that have
followed excessive acreage increas-
es in the past.
with three good wheat years be-
hind us, our wheat supplies at the
present time are the largest in our
history" Secretary Wickard said.
I'm view of the tremendous IN
crease in the number of livestock,
however, additional feed reserves
are a safeguard for the future.
I'VE entered the present market
ing year with a total wheat supply
of 1913 million bushels. At the
same time, this year, wheat con-
sumption. including moderate ex-
ports, promises to be the large st
since 1920. And it must be re-
membered that in 1920 our gross ex-
ports totaled 369 million bushels.
Livestock feeding has account
ed for the bulk of the current IN
crease in wheat consumption. With
some increase expected IN the guam
tity used for feed, and substantial
quantities being used for alcohol
production our total domestic con-
sumption is expected to be largest
in history

matter. The label is nothing-the

FITZGERALD
Says Jeffriies
Fosters Hate
BY FRANK MORRIS

Opening his prediction CAM
paign for mayor, Frank Fitz-
Gerald last night accused Mayor
Jeffries of feeding the fires OF
race prejudice and class hatred
by branding him (FitZGerald) as
a candidate of Negroes and labor
unions"
The address, made at a meeting
Of the Eleanor League at the AL
Tempt, was the first by Fitz'
Gerald since he led Jeffries in the
primary.
1.-THE mayors statement that
I was nominated by labor and
by Negro voters Is the act Of a
man who sees the handwriting
on the WALL" FITZGERALD said.
I'm his desperation. he leopard
ICES the peace and safety of the
community in the blind hope of
saving his political neck.
NOT PERSONAL VOTE
81 am not so naive as to be-
lieVe that all of those thousands
of men and women who voted
for me and against JeffrIes did
so because of a personal liking
for me.
Common sense tells you
that their main determination
was to kick Mayor Jeffires out
of office by concentrating their
vote on the candidate whom
they believed to be best
qualified.
HE drove the working peO-
pie into the anti-Jeffries camp
when he attempted to saddle
them with a 100000 pay
roll tax and when he FLASHED
with them I'm endless feuds. He
drove the Negroes into the
anti Jeffries camp when he
failed to provide adequate pO-
lice protection for them as well
as for all other citizens"
LED ALL OVER CITY
FITZGERALD stressed the fact
that he led in the primary cleo
tion in all sections of the city.
1.-THE vote OF confidence
in Jeffries was spread through
out the length and breath of
Detroit" he asserted. al car

Reds
Doom
2 Cities

MOSCOW, Oct. Il -tEPf-The
fall of Melitopol, key TO the
Crimea, and Gomel, which bars
the road to Poland, was believed
near today as Red armies smashed
through crumbling Nazi defenses
along a 500-mile front.
(Soviet troops today smashed
their way into Gomel, inflicting
heavy casualties on the German
defenders. international News
Service reported.)
The Russians penetrated to the
center of Melitopol, 65 miles
northeast of the CriYnea on the
main Ukrainian-Crimean railroad
and were hammering the desper-
ately-resiSting Germa ans back
through the rest of the city,
house by house, block by block.
PERILS HUGE FORCE
Capture of Melitopol, a city of
$4,000. would doom to death or
capture most of the tens of
thousands of Nazi troops in the
Crimea. Cutting the Melitopol-
Crimea railroad would leave the
garrison only an inadequate single
track line across the Perekop
isthmus to the Black Sea port
Of Kherson. 80 miles west of
Melitopol, over which to escape
by land.
"a Berlin broadcast said the
Russians had attempted a land
ing on the Crimean south coast
near Yalta, 30 miles east of the
Sevastopol naval base.)
The Red army was believed to
have entered Gomel, southeastern
hinge of the White Russian de-
lenses, following a series of
thrusts across the Sozh River.
KIEV IN DANGER
Gomel is 40 miles north of
Kiev.
Kiev, Russia's third city, and
ZaporoZhe. on the big bend of the
Dnieper IS miles north of Melito-
pol, appeared in imminent danger
of development as the Russians
cracked the Nazi winter defense
line from the Black Sea to the
upper reaches of the Dnieper.
