hapts, on the universal use of spinach
in Enrol** is, that the cooks there com-
monly use reel lies for the prepartion
■of spinach for the table, that add great-
ly to the taste and imlatalileness of this
dish, and furthermore, prevents ihe
destruction of the valuable Vitamin
"A”—the growth-producing vitamin—
•hat can be easily destroyed by im-
proper cooking.
The universal use of spinach in Eng-
land is humorously referred to in ihe
l*»y of Saint Dunstan. one of the tales
in the celebrated Ingoldsby Legends
by Richard Harris Barham, published
in 1830. Therein, Saint Duuri-in who
was the Archbishop of Canterbury
eight hundred years prior therto, or in
the Tenth century, is reported as using I tlll,k,, „{ ,ow fuel value in the prepa-

Is found in spinach, but this litamin is
rather widely distributed in many food , Hldniich l® the wor
products, however. Vitamin "C” the
antiscorbutic vitamin, which is absent
from many foodstuffs is found in spin-
ach.
A higher proportion of protein is
found in spinach than in any of the
low fuel value vegetables. The protein
per isiund in spinach is 0.5 grams, as
compared to 8.2 in asparagus, 7.3 In
cabbage, 5.0 in carrots, 8.2 in cauli-
flower and 4.1 in tomatoes, all of which
are of low fuel value as is spinach.
Dieticians especially recommend a
part of the menu of that large class
who are naturally meat and fat eaters
and take in their food an over-balance
of heat-producing factors at the ex-
pense of the other, and equally neces-
sary factors, a liberal portion of spin-
ach for a healthful diet. Spinach is
especially and particularly recommend-
ed by dieticians as a large part of the
food of children.

The climate of this section is mild.
The average annual mean temperature
is 67 to 90 degrees F. The altitude is
650-750 feet above sea level.
Spinach was planted In this district
by early gardeners who served local
markets a number of years ago, the
idea of growing spinach being obtained
from a New Orleans seedsman who ini-
I*irted seed from Europe. However, no
shipments were made by rail, even In
less than carload lots to Texas points
until 1917, when some shipments by
express were made in barrels to San
Antonio, Waco and other Texas cities.
The first shipment of a solid carload
was made to Chicago In 1919.
From 1919 to 1930, the shipments of
spinach in solid carloads have risen
from one carload in 1919 to 7,219 car-
loads in 1930-31. In addition there

constitutes a very great advantage and
ail almost unanswerable argument for
their greater use. The fuel values of
fresh vegetables varies from less than
TOO calories per pound in case of such
foods as let I nee and cucumbers, to
about 450 calories in the ease of sweet
potatoes, shelled peas, and sw3.*t corn
cut from the cob.—Fruits and vege-
tables always tend to give tmlg to the
food residue as it passes through the
body,—The tissues of the body nre al-
kaline and health demands the main-
tenance of what is usually called an al-
kaline reserve. Eggs, meat and flesh
foods in general tend to reduce this re-
serve; milk, fruits and vegetables In-
crease it: cereals have little effect one
way or the other.—Iron content in the
food can lie raised by the liberal use
of fruits In general, nnd of green lent
vegetables, particularly spinneh.—Vita-
min “C” is most abundant in ornng°s
lemons, tomatoes and raw green leaf
vegetables.’'
Texas Winter Garden Spinach
Spinach has made the name of the
Winter Garden District of Southwest
Texas familiar and famous throughout
the Nation because of the fact that It
produces more than 90 per cent of the
winter-grown spinach sold in flit
markets of the United States and Can-
ada.
The Winter Garden District is *om
paratlvely a small section of the south-
west part of the great Lone Star State.
On the west It borders on the Rto
Grande, the boundary between Texas
nnd Mexico. Officially, the Winter
Garden District comprises the territory
of the counties of Za valla, Dimmit and
Maverick, and the western precinct 4
of Frio county. This area Is also known
as the “shallow • artesian water belt”
In which there Is a vast uplift or
"dome" In the center of which. In an
area of perhaps 20 square miles, ar-
tesian water Is found at a depth of
300 feet, receding and deepening from
the central area gradually from 300
feet to a depth of 900 feet or more.
The principal towns and shipping
imlnts in the Winter Garden District
are, Asherton, Big Wells, Carrlzo
Springs, Catarina. Crystal City, DtUey,
Engle Pass and La Pryor. Crystal

SINGLE-FLOOR CONVENIENCE PLUS CHARM
Th* architect in whose mind s eye this charming little fim-
room cottage took shape intended that it should nestle into a
garden sa part of a flowing landscape.
The motif is essentially rustic, although the arrangement of
its ample rooma represent the best in the modern conception of
convenience. Because of its lumber construction it may be eco-
nomically bnilt.
For most attractive execution of this design it is desirable
to nse thick-butt shsket on tbe roof, wavy edge siding for the
gable*, drtical battened siding for the walls, and solid timber*
for porch column*.
To continue the ru»tic motif a high ceiling with exposed
rafter* may easily be insulted in tbe central portion of the house.
