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.
