Diet Important
To Health
Have you checked your diet to
see if you are getting an adequate
one? Are you safe-guarding your
health? A big percent of ill health
is directly caused by inadequate
diets. That does not necessarily
mean one Is going hungry, but
rather that he is eating the wrong
things to give best health.
The Texas Food Standard pre-
pared by the Texas State Nutrition
committee says that for a good
diet every persons needs daily:
1 pt. to 1 qt. milk, 1 egg, 1 serv-
ing meat, poultry, fish or cheese,
1 serving Irish or sweet potatoes,
1 serving green or yellow vegeta-
bles 1 other serving vegetable 1
serving citrus, tomatoes, raw cab-
bage, strawberries, or melons, 1
other serving fruit, 1 serving whole
grain products. Other cereals and
Mattress Application
Deadline April 30
April 30 has been set as the fin-
al date for Texas farm and ranch
families to make application for
cotton and ticking under the De-
partment of Agriculture’s 1941 cot-
ton mattress demonstration pro-
gram.
This announcement has been
made by B. F. Vance, administra-
tive officer in charge of the Triple
A in Texas. Since the Extension
Service is charged with supervi-
sion of the program, Vice Direc-
tors Mildred Horton and G. E.

Brooks Farmers To
Vote April 15 In
Peanut Referendum
Brooks County peanut farmers
will vote on Saturday April 26, in
a referndum to determine whether
they will market their 1941 crop
under marketing quotas, accord-
ing to Clyde H. Rupp chairman of
the county AAA committee for
peanuts.
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
R. Wickard proclaimed marketing
quotas for peanuts this week after
Congress had provided for such
action in a recent amendment to
the Agricultural Adjustment Act
of 1938 If approved l»y two-thirds
of the farmers voting in the coun-
ty referendum, quotas will be in ef-
fect for three years.
The national marketing quota Is
the amount of peanuts which will
be harvested from the national a-
creage allotment, set by law at 1,
610,000 acres. This is the same as
the 1940 peanut allotment under
the agricultural conservation pro-
gram. which will be continued in
1941. Under the quota, a farmer
who plants within his peanut a-
creage allotment may market all
he produces without penalty. Pea-
nuts marketed in excess ,of the
farm marketing quota are subject
to a penalty of three cents per
pound. However, payment of the
penalty is not required if the ex-
cess peanuts are delivered to an
agency designated for handling
excess peanuts. In this case, the
farmer receives for his excess pea-
nuts the price for oil, which usual-
ly Is considerably lower than the
market price for edible peanuts.
Only those peanuts which are
picked and threshed by mechanic-
al means are subject to marketing
quotas. This means that peanuts
hogged off or dug for hay do not
come unde- quotas. Also, quotas do
not apply to farms on which the
measured peanut acreage Is one
acre or less.
Adams are urging all county ex-
tension agents to be certain every
eligible family In Texas has oppor-
tunity to make application i*efore
the deadline.
On March 24, more than a quar-
ter of a million mattresses had
been made in community centers
in the state.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES
“Are Sin, Disease, and Death
Real?” Is the subject of the Les-
son-Sermon which will be read in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, April 13.
The Golden Text is: "The Lord
is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear? the Lord is the
strength of my life; of whom shall
I be afraid?” (Psalms 27:1).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the
following from the Bible: “This
then is the message which we
have heard of him, and declare
unto you, that God is light, and
in him is no darkness at all” (I
John 1:5).
The Lesson-Sermon also in-
cludes the following passage from
the Christian Science textbook,
‘Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures;” by Mary Baker
Eddy: “God, Spirit, dwelling in in-
finite light and harmony from
which emanates the true idea, is
never reflected by aught but the
good” (page 503).
