L-+ Homemakers, who are con-
cerned with nutrition, know
.that fresh vegetables and
t fruits are an important
source of vitamins, minerals,
iron and magnesium. How-
ever, many shoppers do not
take into consideration the
fact that the nutrient content
varies with the variety as
well as the conditions under
which fruits and vegetables
are grown.
For example, the amount
j of ascorbic acid in tomatoes
'■ vine ripened out-of-doors in
! stilhmer sunlight is dobbfe‘_ ‘,jr’
! that of those grown in green-r
' houses in winter. According
to the U.S. Department of
| Agriculture, fresh fruits and
I vegetables also lose some nu-
' tiritive value between the
i farm and the table. Nutritive
■ loss is affected by the way
■ food is handled in marketing
'and at home. The length of
i time it is stored and tempera-
■ t'ure and humidity during
storage also are factors.
| ’ Typical is the need to chill
i dr refrigerate as soon as pos-
•; sible after harvesting such
vegetables as kale, spinach,
(turnip greens, chard, broc-
idjii, and salad greens. They
j keep their nutrients best
when held near freezing and
at high humidity.
* Although processing has
I contributed to the quality
: and safety of fruits and vege-
! tables, some nutritive value
is lost in processing and stor-
age. Most susceptible to losses
• are vitamins which are water-
■ soluble and can be destroyed
by heat, such as ascorbic acid
and thiamin.
Many vegetables and fruits
have been developed to meet
■ the demand for higher yields,
disease resistance, and ability
j to withstand damage in har-
vesting and shipping rather
1 than for the vitamin content.
For example, carrots are a
major source of vitamin A,
but studies have shown a
great range in the nutritive
content among varieties ac-
; cording to plant breeders at
the University of California.

COLLEGE STATION -
Now is the time to begin
garden work for an abundance
of winter and spring flowers,
says Dr. William Welch,
landscape horticulturist for the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service.
“Most of Texas enjoys mild
enough winter weather to
develop a long-lasting and good
quality crop of such favorites
as pansies, snapdragons,
calendulas, candytuft, larkspur,
petunias and sweet peas,”
notes Welch.
When fall planted, these
annuals usually bloom from
three to six weeks earlier than
spring planted ones.
“Occasionally, plants may
be damaged by extreme
temperature changes,
prolonged low temperatures or
high winds, but many
gardeners consider it worth the
risk,” says the Texas A&M
University System specialist.
For best results, Welch

and chemical fertilizers to
dilute so they will not burn
tender seedlings. The flower
beds should be raised enough
to insure good drainage during
prolonged wet periods.
“When starting plants from
seed, the soil should be kept
moist, particularly during the
germination period.” points
out the horticulturist.
A light mulch of straw, hay,
pine needles or similar material
can be a big help in retaining
moisture, preventing soil
packing and maintaining even
moisture levels.
Welch suggests planting seed
closer than for spring planting
to insure a sufficient number
of plants even if part of them
are winter-killed. “A close
stand of seedlings seems to
have more chance of survival
from winter cold.”

For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
Mike Warnke became an orphan at an early age and the Tennessee
courts sent him to California to live with a sister. He received his
education in parochial schools and San Bernadino Valley College where
he became active in drugs, alchol and the Satanic cult. After flunking
out of college he continued to rise rapidly through the ranks of the Cult
until he became a High Priest with a following of 1500 members, many
having been recruited from the campus of San Bernadino Valley
College.
Mike did not find the fulfillment in this movement that he was seeking
so he enlisted in the U.S. Navy where the Lord really began to work in
his life. He was assigned roommates who were working with “Campus
Crusade for Christ." Through their continued expressions of love and
kindness to him regardless of the situation - he was moved to volunteer
to relieve one of his friends on guard duty one night - during this
evening his eyes fell upon an open Bible turned to John 3 = 16 - then he
realized that “whosoever” meant him.
excellent soil conditioner and
fertilizer for gardens, says
Welch. Chemical fertilizers
offer no soil conditioning
qualities. Peat moss, gin trash,
compost and other organic
matter are essential for
successful gardening and
should compose at least 20 per
cent of the garden soil by
volume.
Local law enforcement
officers investigated two traffic
accidents last week. The first
accident occurred Wednesday
afternoon and involved two
cars, while the second mishap
took place Thursday afternoon
and involved a car and a
bicycle.
The first mishap was
reported to police at 1:40 p.m.
Wednesday and, according to
the investigating officer’s
report, involved a 1969
Chrysler being operated by Bill
Beckham, 34, of Wink and a
1972 Chevrolet, being driven
by Alexander Baker, 76, of
284 Bert Street.
Patrolman Larry Macomber
said that the Beckham vehicle
was attempting to back from a
parking space in the 200 block
of Lunsford and struck the
Baker vehicle which was going
west. Damage to the Beckham
car was listed as light and
damage to Baker’s car was
listed as moderate.
There were no injuries
reported and a citation was
issued to Beckham for making
an improper start from a
parked position.
The mishap Thursday was
said to have occurred at
approximately 3:30 p.m. at the
intersection of Dallas Street
and Avenue H.
Involved were Glenn
Holmans, 10, of 727 North
Ash, who was riding a bicycle
west on Dallas street and a
1973 Ford, being driven by
Pauline Burkhalter, 33, of 401
North Ave. B.
Investigating officer
Patrolman Carroll Richards
reported that Mrs. Burkhalter
was going north on Avenue H
and turned east onto Dallas
street and struck the Holmans
youth.
There were no injuries
reported and no traffic
citations issued.
Damage to the bicycle was
said to be light and damage to
the car was listed as minor.
TAKE ROOT
Barbed branches of the
jumping cholla, a desert cactus,
