Why Can Tomatoes?
(By Myra Reagan, Nutrition Con
sultant, S. C. State Board
of Health.)
is
Very often the question is asked
why all canning budgets contain
ro many cans of tomatoes. There
is a good reason for this.
Tomatoes are an excellent source
of vitamin C, which is one of our
most important vitamins. An
other thing is that tomatoes may
be cooked or canned without too
much destruction of this vitamin,
This is not true of most of our
.oods. Cooking destroys nearly
all of the vitamin C in many foods
A supply of this vitamin
needed every day, and too often
the diet in the winter does not
supply it.
If a family can afford to buy
fresh oranges or canned tomatoes
during the winter then it is no
necessary to can the tomatoes
However, if the amount of money
for food is limited it is quite im
portant to can for the winter
season. Tomatoes are the most
important food in the canning
budget and should not be neg
lected.
There are so many ways of pre
paring this food that no one need
et tired of them.

BLINDNESS colors
A friend of mine never drives an
automobile alone because he can’t
tell the difference between a red
and a green light. He has what is
known as red-green color-blind
ness, which means that he can
identify other colors but can’t tell
red from green—they both look
gray to him.
It is estimated that about one
person in every 20 has some form
of color blindness. The most com
mon form is not being able to
identify the color green. Of 2,500
male college students studied for
color blindness, 113 were green
blind, 15 were red-green blind,
one was red blind and seven were
totally color blind.
Perfect eyes, studies have
shown, can see up to 2,000,000
shades of colors. In a big diction
ary, there are 3‘,400 words for vari
ous color shades. But to a person
who is totally color blind all of
these shades look practically alike,
only varying between white, gray
and black.

not have some form of eye trouble.
According to M. J. Julian, presi
dent of the Better Vision institute,
only about half of the school chil
dren who should be wearing
glasses are wearing them.
Among young children it is very
difficult to tell whether they have
eye trouble, for a child doesn’t
usually realize that he can’t see
what his playmates can see. Often
young children have great diffi
culty with their school work and
when it is finally discovered that
the difficulty is eye trouble rather
than brain trouble, glasses bring
about a complete change in ability
and personality.
Teddy Roosevelt, who • all
through his adult life wore thick
glasses, is a good example of that.
The first few years of school were
a great struggle to him and not
until his ’teens did he or his fam
ily discover the reason. Then one
day he was given a gun as a pres
ent and was surprised to find that
his friends were shooting at
things which he couldn't see. A
little later one of his friends read
the words on a billboard aloud
when Teddy couldn’t see the
words at all.
It was then he told his mother
he thought he had eye trouble.
Soon after he was fitted with cor
rective glasses and his whole per
sonality changed. Instead of
being a shy, awkward boy, he be
came filled with self-confidence
and a leader of his friends. Prob
ably we would never have heard
of him, when he became a man,
if that eye trouble hadn’t been
taken care of.

Farm Living train being operated by the Atlantic Coast Line railroad in co-operation with
Clemson College. The start of a 45-city tour b y the train was held in Columbia Monday and
the tour of the State will end October 1st. The train will be in McCormick Saturday after
noon, September 13th, from 4 to 6:30 o’clock, D aylight Saving Time.
Clemson, Sept. 6.—For
yearly flock performance and
highest profits do not rush pullets
into production until fully de
veloped, advises J. W. Matthews,
assistant extension poultryman,
adding that pullets beginning to
lay should possess good body
weight and should gain weight
for the first few months of pro
duction.
“Under normal conditions, grow
ing pullets should consume equal
parts of grain and mash”, Mr.
Matthews says. “However, a lar
ger proportion of grain to mash
may be used to assure proper body
development before the pullets be
gin to lay.
“It is a good plan to house pul-
ANGER eyes
That expression, “I’m so mad I
can’t see” is based on good sound
fact, eye specialists tell me.
Columbia university recently
made a study of the effect of emo
tions on eyes and found that both
anger and fear temporarily de
range the delicate eye mechanism
It was found that emotions di
minish the sight of one out of
five persons and another one of
five become actually wobbly-eyed
best under the stress of emotional ex
citement. Although excitement
changes the vision of most all of
us, it seems to have different ef
fects on different personalities.
To a fairly large group, excitement
sharpens and stimulates the eye
sight so that they can see better
under emotion.
The emotional effect on the
eyes of telling lies has always b?en
pronounced, even to the ca ’al
observer. We all have seen people
vision.
GLASSES army
Parents often make the mistake
of not getting glasses for a child
because they are afraid that once
he starts wearing glasses he will
always have to wear them.
That theory has been proven
untrue by many children who
have used glasses to correct de-
ects and after a year or two have
been able to discard the glasses
entirely. Eye exercises have also
been found to remedy many vis
ion ailments. But tests of school
children show that at least 15 per
cent have eye defects which are
not being attended to.
The army, as far as vision is
concerned, only requires a man to
see without glasses at 20 feet what
normal eyes can see at 100 feet.
Yet 100,000 out of every million
young men can’t even do that.
Incidentally, recent tests show
that dark eyes are stronger than
blue or gray eyes. The light eyes
tire more quickly and are more
susceptible to glare. But there
must be something in favor of
blue eyes too—for it is understood
that nearly three-fourths of
Hollywood actresses have them!

Bulbs planted in the fall for
early spring flowering are the
most satisfactory form of garden
ing. Planting may be done from
mid-August until the ground
freezes but it’s a good idea to get
the bulbs in the ground just as
soon as you receive them. Prepare
the soil well in advance of the
planting, digging it deep, working
it up finely and enriching well
with bone meal and wood ashes.
Plant daffodils four to six inches
deep and seven or eight inches a-
part. Tulips are planted five or
six inches deep and six to nine
inches apart.
Do you keep a record of your
planting in your garden note
book? You will find it a great
help if you do because most of us
do forget things and need remind
ers. Jot down changes you may
want to make in flower borders,
varieties or vegetables you prefer,
quantity of seed ordered and yield
from the same, suggestions for im
provement for next year and the
name of the seedsmen who sup
plied each variety.
A canning note-book is worth
keeping, too. It helps you in mar
keting, determines the amount
you need from year to year,
records mistakes and offers sug
gestions for more and better can
ning and preserving and pickling
activities for another year.

Damp weather often makes

This is because the sides and bot

are made of soft wood with little

you can cure the sticking by rub

4-H judging contest yet staged in
South Carolina, a 4-H dairy judg
ing team from Newberry county
was selected here Sept. 3, to rep
resent the state in a national 4-H

As a result of previous district
eliminating contests among 15
eounties competing, the teams
from Newberry, Chester, and
Gherokee counties vied for state
honors.
The Newberry team gets an all-
expense trip to Memphis by S. H.
Kress and Co., who is sponsoring
the contest team through George
Speer, agriculturist of the South
eastern Chain Stores Association,
Anderson, who attended the con
test.
Total individual scoring honors
were scattered by counties as fol
lows: (1) Henry L. Parr, Newberry
county; (ft) Roy Parris, Cherokee
county; (3) Jack Jones, Cherokee
county; (4) Harry Hicklin, Chester
county; <$) James H. Parr, New
berry county.
