Use corn meal and grits in place
of flour and other wheat products.
That's one way recommended to
save wheat products to send to the
famine-ridden countries overseas.
Here in Mississippi we do use corn
meal and grits often, practically
every day, in fact. We make corn
bread, use leftover cornbread for
stuffings. But, there are numbers of
other ways to use cornmeal.
We have a Mississippi law re-
quiring enrichment of cornmeal and
grits, as well as of flour and bread.
By using more cornmeal in place
of flour, you need have no fear that
you will be losing vitamins and
minerals.

what about canning equipment
and supplies?" That's what many of
you ask when you hear that every
jar of good home canned food fam
lily puts on its pantry shelf will help
to make the worlds food supply 60
around.
Luckily this year, no serious short
ages in canning equipment are ex-
pected. Here is roundup of the
supply picture:
Cdnners. Outlook is good for pro-
duction of both pressure and water
bath Gamers. Aluminium is fairly
plentiful The enamelware industry
is running well above its pre-war
production of various items, and
should be able to make water-bath
Gamers to meet demands.
Jors and tops. Prospects are
bright. Stock on hand are greater
than at any time during the war or
before the war.
Rubber rings No shortage is ex-
pected. Quality should be better than
in the last few years because some
what more natural rubber is being
used.
Tin. Supplies of tin for cans con-
tinues scarce, and wherever practi-
cal it is better to use glass jars for
home canning, to conserve tin this
year. A.
Sugar. Supplies are still short.
Spare ration stamp number 8 is now
good for pounds of sugar for home
canning and can be used through
October 81. Wait to buy this sugar
until you need it then use it only
for canning. Only one additional
stamp for home canning sugar will
be issued this year. The total sugar
ration for home canning will not
be more than 10 pounds person.
So make every bit of canning sugar
count.

The month of May is one Of the
best gardening months Of the year.
All gardening activities should 60
full speed ahead this month-plant-
ing, cultivating, thinning, pruning,
stalking, the use of fertilizer, spray
ing or busting for pest control and
harvesting.
During May, II garden favorites
can be planted. Check this list care
fully to be sure you're not overlook
| ing anything. Plant in May: Pole
snapbeans, bush and pole lima beans,
| sweet corn, tomato, eggplant and
pepper plants, squash, cucumber,
New Zealand spinach, okra, crowder
and blackeye peas, edible soybeanS,
| cantaloupe, watermelons, and sweet
| potato plants.
You can keep your garden in pro-
| duction much longer if you make
several paintings of certain vege-
tables. During May and June plan
to make at least two paintings OF
pole snapbeans, pole lima beans,
sweet corn a would be better), to-
matoes, crowder and blackeye peas,
cantaloupe and watermelon.
Tomatoes should be pruned to two
stems and staked this month. Place
a 5 foot stake in the row inches
from each plant. Tie plant loosely
at / foot intervals, starting IL inches
from ground, with soft twine or torn
strips of cloth Usually three or four
/ ties are necessary.
"Weed 'em and reap" is a good
motto for home gardeners. Frequent
light cultivation and hoeings are
necessary to keep down the weeds.
Weeds sap both plant food and
water from the soil. A productive
garden is one fire of weeds.
Save Gmden and Orchard Foods
Along with Victory Gardeners,
home and community Gamers must
do their share to increase food sup
plies at home to fight famine over
seas.
Not only canning, but freezing,
storing and other food saving meth
ods must be part of the nationwide

ducts.
