THE HOME SPHERE Edited By Miss Florence Cox, Home Demonstration Agent, and Assistants, Mrs. Estelle E. White and Miss Slgia Scott. World Food Shortage: According to the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture there will be over 2 percent less lead in 1948, than in 1947 for world con sumption. Much worse it will be 10 percent less than the prewar supply. Besides even then about half the world population .vas under fed, especially in India and China where the tw > largest populations are located. With de crease of 10 percent in the food supply many more millions are added to the list of underfed. Plant Those Gardens: Peace gardens are needed now as badly as Victory Gardens i were in War II days. First of all it will reduce your own fam ily food costs, and is in no small item in your living expenses. Second, the more fresh and per ishable foods that your familv eats the more staples there will be left for general supply and for shipment. Third, the more your family eats these home grown foods the better nurished they will be. Surveys show that two of the things we lack in our diet§ in North Carolina are Vitamin “C and “A*’ both of which are.found in fresh garden grown green and yellow vegetables. While the soil is too wet to work is a good time to fix the garden fence and clean off all weeds, old staixs and grass. In sects and diseases are harbored in these. Burning the trash is a good plan. When you remove the humus, ' ou should add plenty more in I the form of cow lot manure. This should be turned under just as soon as* you can work the soil. Fertilizer is put in the rows and used as side dressing Christian Science Society "TRUTH” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon *n all Chris tian Science Churches and Soci eties on Sunday. January 25. Golden Text: II Timothy 2: 15. “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that need eth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Among the citations compris ing the Lesson-Sermon were the j following from the Bible: “In I that day shall this song be sung in Judah; . . Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in" i i Isaiah 26: 1.2). And from the Christian Science textbook. “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Bak er Eddy. “Christian Science brings to light Truth and its su premacy. universal harmony, the entireness of God. good, and the nothingness of evil" (Page 292). • State’s 4-H’ers Win National Honors tannic Jean Moor* % Carolyn D.
