H. D. Agent, Palestine, Tex. ........*
PALESTINE, Tex. — Families
• living in towns and cities should
not overlook the fact that every
available foot of space about the
premises that is not used to grow
a lawn, flowers or shrubs, should
be used to grow vegetables, in or-
der that their families may have
fresh vegetables daily. May I sug-
gest that you plan your available
space carefully in growing a large
small city garden. The follow-
ing information may be of serv-
ice:

inches apart). All other vegetables
named should be 18 inches apart.
GETTING THE BOIL READY:
Select a sunny location away
from roots and shrubs where roots
will not deprive the vegetables of
soil moisture and plant food.
Remove sod or grass and all
weeds—spade or plow, leaving it
*4 good drainage.
Fertilise for increased yields for
the email garden apply io lbs. of
4-12-4 commercial fertilizer or 200
lbs. rotted stable manure 5 to 10
days before planting. For the large
Saiden, apply 20 lbs. 4-12-4 com-
mercinl fertilizer or 400 lbs. rot-
ted manure.
Cultivating. Destroy all weeds
while small. Don't let them get a
start. Never cultivate deeply
around the roots of vegetables: “
summer use.
Onions: Set plants 4" apart in
January or February. The sweet
Spanish Variety is a good keeper
—and is hotter than the Bermuda.
Mustard: Plant several times in
the spring. Do not plant too much
at a time. _
Spinach: Frost hardy—Plant
early in January. Soak seed in
warm water over night to hasten
germination. _
Tomatoes — Pepper and Egg-
plant: Set out about 2 feet apart
in the row.
Squash: Yellow squash is pre-
ferable to squash because of high-
er vitamin content. Plant seed 2
feet apart. .
Parsley and Radishes may be
grown in the flower bed to save
garden space. ______

Rationed, OPA
WASHINGTON, D. C. - Many
canned baby foods are to be rationed
under the same point system to be
used for rationing other processed
- fruits and vegetables. These will in-
elude strained or chopped foods
made of fruits, vegetables, or meets
and put in seated cans or glass jars.
Most of these are commonly sold
in the familiar 4% or 6% ounce
containers.
On the ether hand, such baby
food as canned milk, canned milk
formulas, and —snnned, prepared
cereals, are not included under
the rpocessed foods rationing
This statement was issued by
Harold B. Rowe, director of, the
floods rationing division of ths
Office of Price Administration, in
order to clarify any misunderstand-
ing that may exist regarding the
baby foods that are to be included
/ in the new rationing program.

in order to make impressive the
indisputable fact that tobacco to a
curse to the human race, we con-
tinue to quota Dr. M. F. Ashley
Montagu, professor, Hahnemann
Medical college;
“The condition known as ‘smoke
er’s heart due to excessive
smoking exhibits itself in a sensa-
tion of constricting pain in the
region of the heart, generally ad-
companied by pain in the chest and
in one or both arms. Shortness of
breath is also a frequent symptom.
In persons suffering from some or-
ganic disorder of the heart, smoking
produces measurable aggravations
of the disorder ...
“Headache, nausea, diarrhea, and
irritable intestine, and 'heartburn’
are a few other conditions which
are frequently produced by smok-
ing.
"Visual disturbances of varying
degrees of severity may also be
laid at the door of smoking. One of
the worst and most frequent of
these disturbances to fogginess of
vision, a condition clinically known
as Hoxle amblyopia.’ This disorder
is often accompanied by a certain
loss of vision for red and green
colors. Smoker’s amblyopia to be-
lleved to be due to a poisoning of
the optie nerve behind the eyeball.

by the simple process of giving UP
smoking.
“The indictment of smoking con-
tained in the above paragraph is, I
believe, the fairest that has ever
been written. Every statement to
supported by an overwhelming
amount of evidence, and X have
deliberately refrained from men-
tioning any of the disorders which
are under suspicion as being due to
smoking, but about which any con-
tradictory evidence exists. Cancer,
for example, to one of these con-
ditions; there are many others.
"Is there anything on the side
of the ledger to be raid for smok-
ing? A dispassionate examination
of the evidence leads one to the
conclusion that if anything to to be
said in favor of smoking, evidence
has not yet been able to discover
it. When, as a result of any in-
vestigation of the effects of smok-
ing anything positive has been
found, it has always been to dem-
onstrate that smoking exerts a dele-
terious offset upon the organism.
Thsrs to so for absolutely nothing
to say in favor of smoking; all the
positive findings of scientific re-
search point only to its damaging
effects.
“Now, does smoking quiet or
steady the nerves? Does it help one
to relax?
“The answer to these questions to
a definite and unequivocal NOI In
fact, smoking has precisely the op-
poeite effect.
"Irritability, restlessness, impaired
memory, mental depression, insom-
nia, headache and tremor, fatigue,
and increased spins! reflexes are
medically recognized effects of ex-
cessive smoking. This hsrdly sounds
like the effects produced by a good
nervous sedative, does it?"
The case against tobacco will be
| continued next week.

Citrus fruits, namely oranges
