green or yelleW in COLOR and two or
more fruits. Of these seven foods,
you can get three of them from your
garden--potatoes, vegetables and
fruits.
The garden leaders who outlined
the 1947 garden program listed four
goals that more town and farm gar
dens would help us reach. The first
one is better nutritution for many
millions OF America fG-nilles. The
next one is to provide more veg
etables and fruits for families,
especially those in the lower income
group.
We all know that the things we
grow at home are cheaper and keep
US from having to buy them in town.
This is how the third goal ties in
with your garden. 1t helps you meet
the cost of living.
Our gardens and nutritution ed
ucation program go hand in hand.
Ruth Van Deman, of the USDA
Bureau of Human Nutritution and
Home Economics, said in her address
before the National Garden Con-
ference where the 1947 garden pro-
gram was planned, that the trend in
tomatoes and leafy green and yellow
vegetables has been distinctly on the
up and up, especially during the
past 10 years.
1.-THE nutritionists can take the
bow for that" she continued. 1T
shows that their talg about vitamins
has beer: put into practice on the
table. Get your vitamins from the
garden and orchard wherever you
cam they've said. Tomatoes are
rich in vitamin c; leafy, green and
yellow vegetables in vitamin A."
Cultural values come with home
gardening and home grounds and
community improvement. More fruit
trees, wider lawns, shrubs and shade
trees improve and make home life
increasingly desirable.
This is cur fourth gardening goal:
to foster nutrition education and
help develop cultural values.

Modern Soldiers Now

No one ever thinks of our soldiers
rs "bookworms." They aren't. But
the new postwar Regular Army is
placing heavy emphasis today on the
availability of both book learning"
and practical training for its volun-
teer soldiers.
Hundreds of thousands of young
men have already become eligible
for college educations under the CT.

more who enlist before the termin-
alton of the war still receive ed
ucational benefits commensurate to
The time they spend in the army be-
fore the official end of the war. The
maximum benefits they can derive
is equal to a $4,000 scholarship.
Even after such wartime oppor-
tunities expire, with the official
termination of the war. dozens of
other educational opportunities re-
main, in the form of correspondence
courses, sef-study courses, and on

The army today teaches MANY

Home Demonstration

We have to start soon on our way
toward our 1947 goal of at least
100000 year-round gardens in Miss
issippi and Is million gardens in the
United States. That is why the week
of February 2 to will be National
Garden Planning Week. Secretary of
Agriculture Anderson, in recognition
of the Importance of the home gar
den program, named the first week
in February as good time to get
our gardens underway.
We grew 380.334 gardens in Miss
issippi last year. Folks in towns and
cities grew 61,236 of them and the
farm people The rest. Did you grow
one of these gardens? If you didn't
let's grow one this year.
Begin by making your plans for
growing a year-round garden If the
weather is good enough next week,
get out there and actually do some
digging. You might even get some
of your early spring vegetables
planted.
We all worked hard in our victory
gardens during the war. Thanks to
these gardens our nutrition stand
ard rose. We grew some of our own
vitamins. Other foods weren't as
plentiful and we ate more fruits and
vegetables. Lots of people became
vegetable eaters who never were be-
fore.
Here are the foods we need every
day: A pint of milk or more; an egg;
one or more servings of meat, fish
or fowl, or shelled peas or beans;
cereals and bread; one or more
potatoes; two or more vegetables Il

U. 5. Likely 10 Curb
Waterfowl Hunting;
Birds Are Much Fewer

Albert M. Day, director of the
Fish and Wildlife Service, told the
Associated Press yesterday 1t prob
ably would be necessary to curtail
but not close completely-the
waterfowl hunting season next fall.
Day based his estimate on the
agency's annual waterfowl inventory
which placed the North American
population OF ducks and geese at
54 ,000, 600. This is 26,000,0 900 less
than in January, 1916.
This is the greatest one-year de-
cline in waterfowl population on rec
ord. The agency's first duck count
in 1885 produced an estimate of
81 100000, Day said. The total In
creased annually to peak In 1943
of 125,350,0 900.
TN spite Of the fact that water
fowl numbers have fallen almost to
the 1899 total, I do not now think
it will be necessary to establish a
complete closed season for next
fall" Day said.
II think we will be able to rec
onmend some kind OF an open
season, but what 1t will be depends
largely upon conditions In the
breeding grounds next summer"
Day recalled that in the extreme
dry year of 1885, when the duck
population was only half as large
as today, a break in the drought
and a season limited to 30 days led
to satisfactory increase. The Gov
eminent prohibited shooting OF cer-
tain species that year, and began
establishing refugees.
The Audubon Society recently
recommended that no duck hunt
ing whatever be allowed next fall.
Day said the flood of mail to his
Office, following the society's report,
surprisingly enough balanced out
pretty well--a lot of sportsmen are
worried and agreed that strict con-
SeI,yation is necessary"
