BY w. H. YOUNGMAN

Raising of vegetables in the
home garden brings new fresh
fiavors to the table and provides
top quality harvests for the
freezers. In some cases it also
insures having the transitory
vitamins to enrich the diet.
There are values to the grower
other than healthful exercise.
Today it is so easy to buy
fresh vegetables from the stores
and roadside markets that there
is a strong tendency to grow
flowers instead of vegetables.
However. in spite of the care
taken in producing and market
ing commercial vegetables, it is
practically impossible to bring to
your table the sweetness of home
grown sweetcorn. for instance.
The sugar in corn converts to
starch very quickly unless it is
kept at low temperatures. That is
why the gardener insists upon
harvesting and eating his sweet
corn within the hour" But this
| is not the only loss suffered by
vegetables while standing in a
market. The vitamin C rich
tomatoes also lose their value.
Tomatoes should be picked in the
middle of the afternoon to have
them when their &C" content is
at its highest.
Freshly harvested vegetables
for the freezer are must" if
the frozen product is to be worth
the effort. Young, tender,
freshly harvested vegetables are
needed to have the finest quality
for the table. The commercial
grower loses too much in yield
to harvest at that stage.
Don't Be Too Ambitious
The vegetable garden, TO be of
maximum value. should not be
SO large that it cannot be tended
properly at all times. The great
temptation is to try to grow a
large garden. 1t is the small
well-tended garden that pro-
Iduces the best qualities and from
which the owner derives the
most satisfaction. 1t is amaz-
ing to see the number of gar
deners who plant from "a to so
tomato plants to supply their
families. Actually a half dozen
well-grown and cared-for plants
should provide an ample supply.
1t may take several dozen poor
ly-handled plants to supply the
same quantities.
I Sweet corn requires too much
space to At into the small gar
den. If space does permit, the
gardener will find that weekly

are down in the mud below. You

religion of the Jew give him a

Jews make them at all separate

Christianity itself spring out of
Judaism? Wasn't Jesus himself
one of the Jews? Isn't the ethical

Christianity.
