TIIE ROOT CROPS
For winter vegetables we draw
largely upon the root crops, not only
because they happen to be for the
most part such substantial food for
any time of year, but because they
can be stored fresh in the fall and
used as needed later on. So the Bu
leau of Home Economics of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture turns
attention to the market prospects as
to root vegetables for the coming
winter months.
The term ‘‘root vegetables’’ should
not be taken too literally. It includes
potatoes, which, strictly speaking,
are tubers rather than roots; sweet
potatoes, carrots, turnips, parsnips,
beets and salsify or oyster plant
which are true roots; and onions,
though they are bulbs and belong to
the lily family.

PENDER'S
MARKET
Next To Fire House.
There is no question this yean
about the market supply of our two
great staple vegetables—potatoes and
sweet potatoes. The potato crop this
year is a big one. The September
estimates of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture put the figure at 372 mil
lion bushels, which is more than the
average of recent years, though last
year’s crop was bigger. Os sweet
potatoes, always a staple in the South
and becoming more and more popu
lar in the North, there are more than
in any recent year.
The carrot crop, also bigger this
year than usual, has increased almost
steadily for ten years past, until now
the markets take five or six times
the shipment of earlier years. Car
tots rank much higher as a vegetable
than they did when the principal way
of using them was in vegetable soups
end meat and vegetable stews. Now
we use carrots in many other ways—
raw in salads, creamed, baked, mash
ed, as well as steamed or boiled or
fried in combination with apples or
stewed with celery or onions, or in
souffles anr custards.
This is largely because nutrition
ists have spread their knowledge of
the food value of carrots, and this
has given the vegetable a new sta
tus in the diet. At the same time
gardeners, meeting the increased de
mand, have supplied the market with
tender young carrots, which are more
succulent and more delicate than the
mature roots and are more attrac
tive for some purposes. These young
carrots are so tender they can be
cooked in the skins, and are at their
best when served simply with melted
butter and a little lemon juice. North
ern markets receive them in winter
from California, Texas, and Arizona
by the hundreds of carloads.
“Winter carrots,” or stored carrots,
the older, often home-grown roots,
are harvested in the fall for storage,
and with tops cut off are shipped to
market in bags to b& sold to the con
sumer by the pound. These are of
course cheaper than young carrots
shipped with their tops on and so
handled that they are fresh when
they reach the consumer—for when
jpu buy carrots with tops, the tops
should be fresh.

HENDERSON, (K. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, FRIDAY,- OCTOBER 11, 1935
There is no point, howeyer, in buy
ing the tender young carrots for
stews or for mashing or grqting, or to
cut in sticks as a Yelish. For these
purposes the older carrots, with tops
and cheaper, serve just as well.
The carrot is important in the diet
because it is a rich source of vitamin
A. Its yellow color is due to a sub
stance chemists call carotene, and in
recent years they have discovered that
carotene becomes vitamin A, either
in the vegetable or in the animal
body that consumes it. This vita
min stimulates growth in children and
is necessary for general well-being at
all ages. Particularly it helps the
human body to resist infections of
eyes, sinuses, and glands of the mouth
and threat. The yellow-fleshed veg
etables—carrots, sweet potatoes, yel
low turnips, yellow squash—contain
it, and so do the gren leafy ones.
Carrots have other vitamin values,
and good mineral values, and so some
of these are easily lost in cooking
and serving any vegetable, the fact
that carrots used raw are attractive
makes them additionally valuable to
the family menu planner.
For this same reason, turnips also
are more valuable than some vege
tables that are always cooked. Raw
turnips, either cut in sticks to be
served celery-fashion, or diced for a
salad, are an excellent source of vita
min C. and yellow turnips furnish al
so vitamin A. Turnips, too, are
plentiful this year.
Parsnips, which are related to car
rots botanically, are by no means so
much in demand as a market vege
table, and theii fooVl value is much
less. But tbey are widely grown in
home gardens and they can be stored
easily. Favorite ways of cooking
parsnips are to parboil, scrape off the
skin, slice lengthwise and bake; or
dip the pieces in flour and fry them;
or mash and make into cakes for
frying; or scallop in milk.
Beets are in greater demand than
parsnips, and northern markets get
their winter supplies of young beets
chiefly from Texas. Baby beets, boil
ed and buttered, are a delicacy, and
sweet-sour beets, so different in fla
vor and color from other vgetables,
add variety to the vegetable plate at
any time of year. The food value of
beets 5 s not great, however. One
ig to remember in cooking beets
i nthat they “bled” when the skin is
broken. Therefore the tops should
not be cut too close, and the beets
should be boiled in their skins. They
may be peeled and diced and baked
in a cover baking dish—but here the
closed dish takes the place of the
skin.
Salsify, or oyster plant, or vegetable
oyster, as you choose, is better knowh
is a home garden vegetate than as
a market crop but it is a rodt that
can be stored like qther root crops,
oi’ even left in the ground over the
winter. it jg a useful addition to the
winter vegetable list because it is so
different in flavor. Also, it is an
excellent source of iron—richer than
any other root vegetable in this im
portant mineral. Salsify i s usually
cooked in small pieces, and either
creamed, buttered, or mashed and
baked. Or it may be mashed and
mixed with mashed potatoes and
make into smal cakes and fried.
Os the onion crop in this country, a
very large part is used “rather as a
seasoner than as a edible,” as one
old-time writer puts it. But onions
appear on many a table in their own
right as an “edible” —baked, scallop
ed, stuffed, creamed, or fried includ
ing French-fried. Their chief value
their appetizing flavor though they
have a little vitamin value also.
Onions can be stored so well that
they are on the market at all sea
sons, not only from the market gar
dens of our warmer climates, but from
every part of this country and as im
ports from several other countries
resides. Over 30 thousand carloads,
c.nd nobody knows how many truck
loads were shipped to city markets
last year, besides the enormous quan
tities grown in home gardens for home
use. •

OPPOSED TO FASCISBfI
Americans who fear fascism by
forces opposed to liberalism are in
terested in the Canadian general elec
tion on Oct. 14, because the Liberals
have considered that the issue there.
An interesting review of the situa
tion is presented by James H. Gray, a
Canadian newspaperman, writing in
The Nation under the title of “Canada
Flirts With Fascism.”
Says Mr. Gray:
“That Canada, under its multimil
lionaire premier, Richard B. Bennett,
was in June of this year speeding
toward a fascist dictatorship is con
ceded by no one in Canada save a
few Communists. True the leader qf
the Liberal party, W. L. Mackenzie
King, who is determined to make
civil liberties the issue in the na
tional election, has accused Bennett
of crimes against the civil and per
sonal rights of the Canadian people,
but his followers laugh privately at
the idea that Bennett has been trying
to establish a dictatorship with him
self as the man on horseback.
“Yet when all the apparently un
related minor incidents and outstand.
ing acts of his rule are brought to
gether, the only explanation that
makes sense is that Bennett, about
to be booted into oblivion by an out
raged people, was trying to escape
from this fate by the dictatorship
route. If the ruthlessness of his ac
tions while premier is any criterion,
it would have been anything but a
pleasant experience for those who op
posed his will. That he failed, tem
porarily at least, may be attributed
to the patience of the leaders of the
great relief strike army, who refused
to allow him to provoke their follow
ers into acts of violence which would
have given him an excuse eo declare
a state of national emergency, pro
rogue parliament, and remain in of
fice for another year or two ”

An unnaturalized ‘but long-resident

thoritatively stated that even a sus
picion of his desire for it to enable
him to take a hand in an overseas
war will prevent its issuance to him;
if he goes, he will get back only on
a quota basis.
Indeed, naturalized Americans or
foreign birth will jeopardize their
status as Yankee citizens if they leave
the United States in response to an
alien summons to military auty; the
argument will be that they cannot
have taken their oaths to Uncle Sam
very seriously.
Further than that, a native Amet
ican can imperil his citizenship by
volunteering in a foreign army. The
question is:
Doesn’t he forswear Americanism
when he takes another oath of al
legiance?
The issue was raised in connection
with the cases of American who
fought with the Canadians, English
and French prior to American en
trance into the last war. It never was
settled because they automatically
were reabsorbed into Uncle Sam’s
side of the conflict when he was
drawn into it. Adventurous American
spirits may not be so lucky if there
is a world war of the 1930’s and they
plunge into it prematurely.
