They furnish valuable ma- rial for building and regulating the body and maintaining health and Stowth. others. While all vegetables are good foods, some are more valuable than Classed as most important are: ' Oreen vegetables, such as green cabbage, collards, other leafy veg etables, as well as okra, green beans and green peas build up resistance to certain diseases. They contain materials for building blood and bone. They also contain roughage which is needed to aid digestion. Yellow vegetables, such as carrots, sweet potatoes (yellow-fleshed Varieties), yellow squash and yellow corn, like the green vegetables, build up resistance to certain diseases and help prevent colds and night blindness. They, also, are good blood and bone builders. Dried peas and beans, especially edible soybeans, are good muscle and blood building foods. They are the best vegetables to be used in the place of meat. J^®tatoes, Irish and sweet, provide energy for doing more work.

Onion sets can be spaced four in ches apart in 18 inch rows and cab bage plants 14-18 inches apart in 24- 30 inch rows. One pound of peas will plant 100 feet of row and should yield 1 bushel. Peas rows ought to be 30 inches apart. One ounce of carrots will seed one 100 foot row. Carrot rows should be 18 inches apart. Two ounces of beets will be needed for one 100 foot row,—beet rows too should be 18 inches apart. Cover peas 2-3 inches deep, carrots % inch and beets 1 inch. Carrots come up slowly. Thin the carrots and beets when they are 3 inches tall to at least 3 inches apart in the row. This thinning must be done. Pull out the weeds at the same time. It is extremely important to hand pull weeds in peas when both weeds and peas are still young. If the weeds are not controlled th^n, the crop may have to be given to the weeds in that as peas are lightly rooted one cannot pull out large weeds without taking pea plants with them. Weeds in onions, cabbage, carrots and beets can be handled by hoe work with some hand pulling. These crops are well rooted and one can pull weeds in them with less danger of disturbing the crop. Weeds must be fought in these Victory Gardens . without let-up, pause or DELAY. This is an area of summer rains and a weed left in the garden by early July will be a bush by Fall. The cabbage must be watched for aphis attack. Aphis are a small, light green insect. Kill them by spraying or dusting the crop with nicotine preparations, when the sun is shining and the day is hot. As soon as the peas are matured, pull the vines and any weeds that are present. Peas mature early. Pea land, if not kept clean after harvest, will become a weed jungle by Fall. Plant the early crops at the time suggested above and within one week from planting time begin to work the surfaces of the middles with tools and the planted rows with hoes and fingers, to keep ahead of weeds, and continue to work the planted area continually thereafter, — shal low if the weather is wet and roots are near the surface and deep if the weather is dry and roots strike down. Kind and Amount of Fertilizer To Use Kind—3-8-7. Amount to Use—in rows 18 inches apart 3 lbs. per 100 foot of row, 24 inches apart 4^^ lbs. per 100 foot of row, and 36 inches apart 7 lbs. per 100 foot of row.
