Gardens and Health Easy In Carolina Clemson College, April 12,?South Carolina's climate, soil, and moisture conditions will permit the good home gardener to produce vegetables to have a supply for every day in the year, says K. II. Kawl, extension horticulturist, who names climate, soil and moisture as three main requirements for successful gardening. Mr. Rawl is convinced that South Carolina is a "best place" to live, for says he: "Man cannot have happiness unless he possesses good health; he cannot have good health unless he has good food of the light kind and quantity and at the right times, fys may be had in this state through good home gardens," As to the values in vegetables. Mr. Rawl explains: "Comparatively speaking, it bus been only a short time since science- discovered the exact ivflllstituents or elements of vegetables which have the power of promoting growth and health. Theseimportant Moments found in vegetables and especially in leafy vegetables are 'vitamins'. Experiments in animal and human nutrition have proved the importance of vitamins for good growth and health. "In addition to furnishing these necessary vitamins, vegetables contain minerals which the dietitians agree ai'o necessary in the development of j the body and the maintenance of, health. Likewise, the food specialists tell us that the diet should contain a certain amount- of bulky food. Vegetables meet these requirements. in the form of woody fibre, or cellu- J lose. Authorities in food and health recommend the qfe of 11 supply of vegetables in the diet each day." New York children, teasing a child, f) months old, gave him a pound bag; of salt that he might eat it and "make faces." The child ate the salt by j handfuls arid will probably die be-, cause of inflamed bronchial tubes,1 larynx, left lung and tracea, due to the salt.
