MICHAEL WHALEN JOAN WOODBURY in 66'' ‘WHILE NEW YORK SLEEPS r Also •til: * • r r, - A Terry-Toon Cartoon “’Housewife Herman’ and LATEST NEWS EVENTS ADMISSION: Adults. 25 cents; Children up to 12, 10 cents; Children 12 to 15, 15 cents The 129 families of McCormick county who are rural rehabilita tion borrowers canned 15,746 quarts of fruits and vegetables in 1938, or an average of 122 quarts per family, and 19.3 per person, according to Miss Alice Talbert, home management supervisor of the Farm Security Administration in the county. In 1937 the number of quarts canned by 154 families was 3717, she said, an average of 57 quarts per family and 9.1 quarts per per son. In 1936 the family average was 63. In addition the food preserva tion program last year among these families included 18,400 pounds of dried fruits and vege tables, or an average of 141 pounds per family. “It has been definitely shown,” Miss Talbert said, “that the health and welfare of a family de pend largely on its food supply, and it is a primary aim of the Farm Security Adfninistration to provide an adequate diet as families with low incomes cannot buy fruits, vegetables and other food they need to build up and protect their health. I am well pleased with the excellent showing made by so many of our families during the past year, especially as compared with former years, and according to home management plans for 1939 most of them may be expected to make still better records.” In connection with the canning activities of the rehabilitation families in McCormick County, 48 of them bought pressure cookers in 1938 bringing the total up to 55. The number in use by these families in 1937 was 7 and in 1936 it was 6. A large percentage of those now without pressure cook ers plan to buy them before the opening of the 1939 canning season, the home management supervisor said. The number of jars purchased by these families in 1938 was 4800 quarts and now the average number owned per family is 133 quarts, representing an asset that will be helpful in meeting their food budgets in years ahead.

Garden Work For April The most important result of producing vegetables on the farm is the improvement which may be expected in the health and food habits of the family—not the sav ing of money spent for these sup plies. Medical authorities and food specialists say that to be healthy and strong and active one should eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. HINTS Do not allow tomato plants to grow long-legged. Transplant them to other boxes or frames and give each plant room to be come stout-stemmed and stocky. If well hardened they may be set in the open 10 days earlier. In setting tomato plants do not follow the old rule of setting only as deep as they stood in the seed bed. This is not deep enough. A goed tomato plant is about eight inches from the root to the top, and about as large as a lead pen cil. Set the plants so that half the stem is below the surface of the ground. Plants set in this manner will have roots deep enough to resist drouth, besides roots will come along the part of Clean Up Week April 10-15, Says Mayor Sibert » Mayor T. J.

Early kinds of vegetables that were planted in February and March, such as beets, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, kale, lettuce, mustard, peas, spinach, etc., need to be cultivated frequently and thoroughly and should be given a side dressing of nitrate of soda. Scatter this between the rows without getting it on the plants. Cultivate the ground with a wheel hce. You can kill as many weeds and pulverize as much crust in an hour with a wheel hoe as you can in at least three hours with an old fashioned weeding hoe.
