needed for the raising of crops. This
will mean that greater number Of
farm workers can join the armed
forces Of the United Nations.
The gardens, moreover, should
keep the price of vegetables from 60
ing too high. When there is good
supply Of vegetables, the prices are
lower than when the supply is short.
So far as we raise our own vege-
tables, there can be a larger surplus
to send abroad. The more food we
can send abroad, the less strain
there will be among our Allies.
Thanks to the process Of "dehy-
dration," it is possible to take almost
all the water out of vegetables and
some other kinds of food. A vessel
today can carry cargo with far
greater food value than the same
vessel could carry year or two ago.
An excellent vegetable to plant is
the carrot. It Is rich in vitamins
and most persons find 1t tasty.
Carrots were known in Eastern
Europe during ancient times, but it
seems that they were not planted in
English gardens until four centuries
ago. There is a record of the seeds
being taken to England from Hol-
land at that time. The English were
greatly interested in the pretty green
leaves and ladies placed them in
their hair as decorations.
The thick upper-root parts Of
some carrots are yellow; others are
reddish or orange. Certain kinds
are white, or nearly white.
Besides the carrots which are
raised for the table, there are kinds
which are grown especially for cattle.
These usually are Of very large size,
and the roots may go down 10 inches
or more.
1t has been found that cows which
are fed on good amount Of carrots
In winter produce creamy milk, ex-
cellent for butter making.

This year, gardens are being
planted in all parts of the United
States and Canada where the cli-
mate is fit for the growing Of vege-'
tables. Many persons who never be-
fore held a hoe in their hands are
getting out to see what they can do.
They feel that they are helping to
bring victory" closer.
What good" we may ask, will
the gardens do?"
In the first place, the raising Of
more vegetables in cities and villages
will cut down the number Of men

player explained. II opened the king

it. Then, after had sized up the
dummy for couple of seconds,
led the king of hearts. 1t turned
out to be the right lead"
obviously it was one of the most
brilliant leads Of the season. If West
had led any other card in his hand,
South could have made his contract;
against the lead of the heart king,
South was helpless. Having lost one
trick, South still had sure spade
loser and two little diamonds to get
rid of. If South trumped one of his
diamonds in dummy with the
queen, East would eventually win
the setting trick with the heart ten.
If South drew trumps, he would have
to lose both of the diamonds and
go down one.
II West had led another diamond
or club, South could have ruffed
out both his losing diamonds in
dummy; If West had shifted to a
spade, it would have established an
extra trick on which South would
have gotten diamond discard; and
If West had led low heart, South
could have ruffed a diamond in
dummy without its meaning the loss
of trump trick.
But if I'd stopped to think for
a long time," said West, 81 probably
wouldn't have led the king of hearts.
After all, the actual distribution
found was almost the only distribu-
ton against which that lead was
necessary
