!’n -eiit-day children average sev-
eral pounds heavV- and several inch-
es teller than children o t?n years
ago, according to > Victoria (Aus-
tralia I medical authority, who pro-
ceeds to explain this by saying that
the added growth is due to better
food, especially i. greater abundance
of vitamins
Fruits and vegetables ore recogniz-
ed as the hc.et available sources of
vitamins, and this is nowhere more
true than with form families. Every
larnt family could have a garden.
Vegetables add much to tlie joy of
living and mean much to the health
and growth of the children, A liberal
admixture of green things, -specially
if freshly-' ool.-'d. v •to make an at-
tractive diet even of meat and corn
bread.
The maker of the old adage, “Well
begun is half done." must have had
the making of a garden iu ia nd, for
it certainly is true that half the suc-
cess of a garden rests on poorer prep-
aration of tiie soil. Garden soil
should be turned deeply and manured
in the fall or winter. But when spring
comes and finds such not done, there
is- still time to break the soil shallow
and apply a light dressing of well-
rotted manure. Many vegetables are
heavy feeders, and there is nothing
more conducive to them growth than
a plentiful supply of humus in the
soil. If the barn lot or henhouse has
not been cleaned since last summer,
now is a good time t > do it.
Vegetables that grow in this dim
ate may be divided roughly into two
groups, those that will grow in cool
weather and those that will- grow in
warm weather. A very few are cap-
able of stan Sing any cold short of a
hard freeze. .One of the most delic-
ious of this rdy group is Swiss
chard. It will : only resist cold, but
it is not relish ’ -y chickens, birds
or insects. But - readily eaten by
those folks who 1 e learned how
good it is. Have some Swiss chard in
your garden as a y-ar-around veget-
able.
Lettuce Popular
Lettuce is one of the earliest veget-
ables to greet the eye and cheer the
soul of the home gardner. it is indeed
a delirious treat for any table in the
spring. But, unfortunately, spar-
rows and some other birds mark it
for their own. and lettuce frequently
succumbs to their attacks. Poison
spread on the ground in mash, or a
wire cover over the lettuce until oth-
er green things are up, usually will be
sufficient protection.
Another early vegetable and one
thatt will grow when once started al-
most n gardless of temperature, is
the onion. It cau make no claim to
delicacy for flavor, but for those who
relish it. it can not be surpassed as a
seasoning for other food or for eat-
ing straight. Onions also are credit-
ed' with being carriers of health-giv-
ing vitamins.
Radishes have a flavor all their
own. When old, or when grown in

are as well known or eaten as they
should be, on the basis of their flav-

vitamins they contain. They are a
delicious vegetable, if not rooked too
long, and may be eaten raw. When

digested. Carrots are gross feeders

Cucumbers, cantaloupes and water-
