R. L. Mizelle, of Windsor, who
j.i a cooperator with the Rea
ls oke-Cho wan Soil Conservation
District, states that he made a
yield of 2460 pounds of peanuts
per acre on a field where he had
corn and crotalaria the year be
fore. Mr. Mizelle said this field
had been yielding on an aver
age of 1,400 pounds of peanuts
per acre before he began using
crotalaria. He attributes at least
half the increase of approxi
mately' 1,000 pounds per acre to
the use of crotalaria. He also
dusted his peanuts this year
with sulphur in cooperation
with the Extension Service. Mr.
Mizelle says he believes in
crotalaria and dusting for his
peanuts. He believes that with
■one crop of crotalaria before
peanuts the yield can be in
creased as much as 500 pounds
per acre.
The early varities of crota
Iyria are heavy seeders and re
reeds itself thus making it a
very desirable soil-improving
crop for sandy soils. Being a
deep rooter plant it is also de
sirable for a summer crop in dry
weather. It makes a heavy yield
of green matter which is neces
sary in conserving moisture in
the soil.

Since we know the amount of
food an adult eats depends to
some extent on how much he
weighs, the new theory of re
gulating a baby’s food intake by
his weight seems to make sense.
For instance, an infant two
months old weighing 12, pounds
needs just as much nourishment
as a five months-old baby
weighing 12 pounds. Another ap
petite regulator is the amount of
energy one expends. We recog
nize this fact for adults, but we
aren’t so ready to admit that a
small-boned, quiet infant needs
less food than a rapidly grow
ing, active baby although they
may be of the same age.
Here is approximately how the
weight, rather than age mea
surement works in determining
the introduction of solid foods
into the baby's diet. When he
weighs about 10 pounds, add
cereals: 11 to 12 pounds, apple
sauce, raw ripe bananas, can
ned pear, prune, peach. 12 to
14 pounds, vegetables and soups;
16 to 17 pounds, meat, fish cot
tage cheese.
Some foods have to wait on
the baby’s skill in handling them.
For instance, he can’t do much
with a piece of toast or zwie
back until he can hold it in his
hand and put it in his mouth.
Also the jaws have to learn to
bite on hard things. But these
skill, too, are usually acquired

by the age of five or six months,
which further points to the in
fant’s readiness for a grown-up
meal schedule.
Not only does three meals a
day for the baby save mother
the time formerly spent in get
ting out food at in-between
hours, to say nothing of plans
for warming it, but what the
baby eats can usually be chosen
from the family table. It isn’t
necessary to strain the food
either, though it should be
mashed with a fork or chopped.
Here is a suggested schedule
for the baby who has just be
come a regular member of the
family so far as his meal times
are concerned.
7:00 to 8:00 a. m.—fruit or
juice, cereal, toast, bacon or
egg yolk, milk.
12 Noon: Soup or vegetable
(any kind, mashed). Meat—beef,
chicken, liver, lamb; or fish—
salmon, halibut, tuna. Desserts—
fruits, gelatin. Milk.
3:00 p. m.—Juice—toast or
crackers only if infant eats his
other meals well.
5:00 to 6:00 p. m.—Soup or
vegetable or cottage cheese. Fruit
and milk.
This simplified feeding sche
dule was tried successfully on
100 babies in a private clinic.
One of the happiest results was
that -all the babies but two de
veloped good appetites. Fewer
but more substantial feedings
supply needed nourishment but
allow time for the child to be
come hungry between meals.
Experiencing hunger contributes
to the creation of an appetite*
something that coaxing and
forcing food on a child notorious
ly fail to do.
Of course; if* the baby shdws
an allergy to certain foods his
meals won’t fit into the family
menus so easily. New foods will
have to be added at a later age
and only one at a time, with
longer intervals between the in
troduction of each. Your physi
cian will decide which foods are
the offenders.
For that matter, the baby’s
doctor should have final say *
about your method of feeding
the child. But more and more the
trend is toward fitting the diet,
both in quantity and variety of
foods, to the baby, not the baby
to the diet.
