A Gurden Of Eotinn'

Now is the time for all good men
and, for that MATERIAL good wo-
men and children to begin thinking
about a home vegetable garden.
Planting time is here.
During the war Victory" gardens
made a tremendous contribution to
the nations larder. Many an individ-
ual who had never before planted as
much as a peach pit was moved by
patriotic zeal to engage in backyard
farming. School kids even plowed
up their Fairgrounds to do their bit
for victory.
The ending of the war has not les
sened the need for homegrown food
as many may have supposed. True,
well grow a lot of food on u farms
this year-probably more than we've
ever raised. And we'll probably have
more families able to pay for the
things they like to eat. But taking
the world as a whole, food is to be
in short supply. Many people will 60
'hungry-starvingly so. BY growing
home gardens, we add to the Ma
tons total food supply, and thus
make it possible to share our abund-
ance with the unfortunate abroad.
Sharing with others will not mean
privation to us. We will share, not
to fatten other countries, but to help
prevent starvation, disease and
death. AS President Truman has said
this is a matter of human decency.
No program that reached Cam
paign" proportions during the wal
did more for nutrition than garden
ing. Families came to like vegeta-
,bles they had formerly b~y-passed,
Just because they grew themselves
Then, too, they enjoyed their pro-
duce garden fresh" But the nutri-
tional benefits were only part of the
story. Neighbors got to know each
other better as they worked their
plots and exchanged the latest gar
dening dope over the back fence
They also found that the exercise
and fresh air incidental to gardening
One good way to spare and share
the wheat, now so urgently needed
to relieve hunger and famine abroad

Ration Reminder

Sugar Stamp No. 80, good for five
pounds; expires April 30.
Spare Stamp No. 8, good for five
pounds of sugar for canning, expires
October 81, 1916.
Despite public announcements re-
garding the valuation of Spare
Stamp No. 9 in Ration Book 4, for
canning sugar, the local Area Price
Board reports numerous calls for
application forms.
Although it was necessary to fill
out and file application forms for
canning sugar last season, OPA Of
ficials said, home tanners need only
surrender their spare Stamp 8 for
purchase of five pounds of sugar
this year. No application forms are
needed.
OPA said the valuation of Spare
Stamp 9 was decided upon as a
means of canning sugar issuance be-
cause local board personnel has been
reduced since VI Day to such ex-
tent that handling thousands of can
ming sugar application forms would
be impossible. Actually, it was point
ed out, home canners will receive a
little more sugar this year than las,
when a second stamp is validated
for five pounds of canning sugar
later in the season. i,

is to use more potatoes and less
bread for the energy food in family
meals. Potatoes are now in plenti-
full supply and at present prices are
an inexpensive energy food. Penny
for penny, potatoes offer more fuel
value than any other vegetable.
Potatoes are no more "fattening"
than bread. One medium sized po-
tato and one thick slice of bread Tor
two thin ~slices) both have about 100
calories. 1t is the gravy, butter or
other fat used on potatoes that pile
up calories and put on pounds.
Potatoes fit into any meal-break-
fast, dinner or supper. For breakfast
a favorite potato dish is potato pan
cakes. To make enough pancakes for
a family of 5 or 6, CRATE 2 cups of
raw potatoes and put Immediately
into u cup of milk. Add l egg,
beaten slightly, 2 tablespoons flour,
l teaspoon salt, and, if desired, l ia
blespoon finely chopped onion. Drop
from a tablespoon onto a creased
pan. Cook until well Drowned and
crisp on both sides. Serve hot.
A hearty soup for lunch or supper
is potato soup with oatmeal. (Oat-
meal is one of the cereal foods that
may be used for sparing wheatO. In
gradients are: 4 cups of meat broth;
2 cups diced potatoes; Y cup sliced
onions; l cup sliced carrots; = cup
chopped celery; " cup rolled oates;
Y to / cup cooked tomatoes salt and
pepper. To make: add to the meat
broth the potatoes, onions, carrots
and celery. Bring to the boiling
point. Gradually stir in the rolled
oats. Simmer 20 minutes or until
vegetables are tender. Add the to-
matoes. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat and serve.
For dinner potatoes may be cook
ed and served in a score OF ways
from plain baked, fried, creamed
and mashed to potato puffs, potato
cakes and griddle scone.
Gardens In as
Whatever their name, home gar
dens or Victory gardens will be i'm
portant again this year. President
Truman has said: "The threat OF
starvation in many parts OF 1.-The
world and the urgent need for food
from this country emphasize the i'm
portance of continued effort to add
to u total food supply this year"
Whatever possible, foods grown a,
home should be substituted fol
"shippable" foods for the starving
abroad with emphasis on providing
for home meals that will make fol-
better nutrition and health. Labor
is expected to be tight in many plac-
es again this year, so home garden
ers can contribute their wv labor
to help feed themselves. Transporta-
ton also is still tight, as difficulties
in getting wheat to the seaboard fol
export have demonstrated. Home
Gardens can help ease transporta-
ton.
