Medical au thorities 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 ten 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 e- nough. A good tomato plant is about eight inches from the root to the top, ’ and about as large as a lead pencil. Set the plants so* that half the stem is below the surface of the ground. Plants set in this manner will have roots enough to resist drought, be sides roots will come along the part of the stem that is under the ground. • 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 hoe. You can kill as many weeds ar»r’ 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. In order that an unbroken sup ply may be had, make another planting of the vegetables planted during March. Beets from seed may be transplanted when they are too thick and missing - places filled or new rows set. Make plantings now of the fol lowing vegetables: (If in upper Piedmont plant April 15.) Beans: Giant Stringless Green Pod and Tendergreen. Sow in open 11-2 inches deep, one quart to 100 feet. Rows 2 1-2 feet apart. Three to four beans to every eight to 10 inches.

This war is being fought for tremendous stakes ;£ ; i ; for your life and your liberty. j 1 &;; for your church and your children. ; i; for your freedom and your future. And it’s WINNER TAKE ALL. Don’t forget that for a minute. • The winner will dictate whether tomorrow you shall be a free citizen of a free world, or a helpless serf to a “master race.** The winner will dictate whether you shall live and prosper under the Four Freedoms, or toil hope lessly in the darkness of a “New Order.” The winner will dictate . i • because the winner takes all. The winner takes all. All you own, all you hold dear. * The winner is being decided right now...today... this very minute... on battlefields all over the world. Will you stand idly by... or throw all your weight on our side? The weight of mighty tanks and planes. The weight of thousands of guns and millions of shells. The weight of billions of dollars ... 13 billions your country asks you to lend during this Drive. Your country wants to borrow every idle dollar you have—every dollar except what you need for the barest necessities of life. You’ll have to give up some luxury or comfort which was dear to your heart. You’ll have to post pone some pleasure which you had been eagerly anticipating. f But what of it? Your sons and brothers and husbands are dying out there . . . fighting your fight. Surely it is no sacrifice to lend your dollars while they are giving their lives. They need your help. They need the weapons your money can buy. If one of the War Loan vol-' unteers calls on you...greet him with open pocket- book. Remember, Uncle Sam’s goal is 13 billion dollars in April. Don’t wait to be asked. Go to your nearest bank, investment dealer, broker. Post Office or issuing agency and lay your money on the line. Remember, it’s an investment you’re making — an investment that pays a good return and insures a happier future for you and your loved ones. So lend up to the limit. You’ll sleep better for it.
