Hester - Friend Wedding April 4
est regards .
By Mawtae Went
Thif week’s break in the weather afforded many
of us to get things done, especially deep watering.
If one had those holes dug for trees, Wednesday
was an excellent day to plant them, also prune. How-
ever. digging holes to plant later was done by many.
In Mother Earth news magazine I read where
seeds of cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, onion sets and
potatoes were planted outdoors, then mulched suc-
cessfully to guard against more freezes. The plants
gained root system and the gardener gained time In
growing vegetables.
Just wonder if he sneaked a tarp over the area
when freezes were predicted?
With chickens jumping in price this last week,
the citrus fruts to be high and scarce, and tomatoes
predicted to go to $1.40 a pound, more here will take
up growing their own food when possible.
We’d like to hear tips on gardening to pass on to
others as we retain knowledge better by the experi-
ence of others here.
Drive by Reagan County Park and see the Me-
morial Grove of trees planted January 21, Arbor Day.
When the plaque is finished with those memorialized
a dedication ceremony s planned.

MEAL PLANNING EASY
WITH METRICS
Metric measurements on
foods may confuse consum-'
ers trying to plan proper
serving sizes for good health
Healthful meals may be
planned with foods labeled
with grams by selecting
the suggested servings from
the four food groups.
The misk group contains
milk, cheese, ice cream
and yogurt. Three servings
are suggested for daily
eating by children. A
serving is eight ounces, or
one cup, in the English
system of measuring. It is
250 milliliters in the metric
system.
Another group is the
meat group. It includes
meat, poultry, fish, eggs,
dried beans, peas and nuts.
Two or more two-to-three
ounce servings of the meat
group are recommended
for daily eating. Every
other day one serving
should be an orange or
dark green lealy vegetable
or other rich sources of
Vitamins A and C. In the
English system, a serving
is one-half cup or one whole
fruit. A metric serving
would be one whole fruit
or begetable, but 125
milliliters.
Bread and cereal make up
the fourth food group.
This group contains products
from cereal and grain.
Bread, tortillas and pan-
cakes are a few examples.
At least four servings of
this group should be eaten
daily. A serving may be
one slice of bread or
roll. A serving may also
be about 30 grams—or
a little over one ounce--of
ready-to-eat cereal.
Be eating the suggested
number and size of servings,
the body will get needed
nutrients. They help a
person grow and have
energy. Energy is measured
in calories and show how
much energy is stored in
foods. Calories will be
changed to joules in the
metric system. To make
the change, multiply the
number of calories by 4.2
joules.
