In the same issue David R. Coker
asserts that the pellagra situation
pext spring “will depend to a epnsid-
erable degree on whether or not peo
ple plant fall gardens.” Conquering
and eliminating pellagra is a matter
of diet. Vegetables in abundance, milk
and butter, poultry, all these are with
in the reach of the farmer, landowner
or tenant, but he must put out some
labor, effort and expense to obtain
them. The prevalance of pellagra in
