ROCKWELL Not since the years that followed the westward trek of cove ed wagons, when each family in pioneer territory had to p "duce food for its own use, has there been in America so keen an interest in the growing of vegetables and fruit. Although millions of Americans who live in the larger cities can have no access to even the smallest plot of gound, home gardens this year will be planted in greater nurrl r s than ever before in the hisfo y of this country. A - ve all, this year’s Victory Garr is must be kept practical. Ther are no seeds, no fertilizers and no insecticides to be wasted. Eve y pound of these materials must be made to count. This means that in gardens of small area - there should be grown only those vegetables which produce the most food in proportion to the space which, they occupy In determining which vegetables are best in this respect, production for Winter use, as well as for Summer and Fall, should alway be considered. This is the first lesson which the beginner in Victory Gardening must learn. He may think it a hardship that he cannot have sweet corn, peas and cantaloupes, all of which he may like very much, in his little plot. But if his primary object is to produce food, and as much food as he can, then these delectafoles will have to be omitted, for the simple reason that if he grows them he will not have room for others that, in terms ol food production, are much more important. On the other hand, the opposite extreme is to be avoided. Lately, there has been not a little written about scientifically planned gardens based on vitamin schedules. All very nice in theory. The only drawbacks are: a.) No two authorities seem to agree on the nutrition ratings of different vegetables; b.) it is necessary to plant vegetables that will grow, linder local conditions; c.) it is desirable to plant vegetables that the family will eat, after they are grown. ♦ SPORT PAGE — Continued ♦ LEAGUE STANDING AS OF THE END OF THE 1943 BOWLING SEASON IRENE BALLA.

Tomatoes are undoubtedly the best home-garden crop. They are easy to grow; are subject to few pests; they bear heavily and provide excellent tasty food, both raw and cooked, from midsummer to frost. Then, too, they are the easiest of all vegetables to can either whole or as juice. A special late crop can be planted for September canning. Broccoli (Calabrese type) is one of the most remunerative of all vegetables for the space and care devoted to it. As a “cutand-come-again” crop it yields for months. One planting of a dozen plants will give a meal a week for a family of four through Spring and early Summer and often well into August if it is kept cut. A second midsummer planting gives splendid large heads in Autumn for canning purposes. Carrots are one of the much praised yellow vegetables so highly recommended by the nutritionists. They take little room, are easy to grow and make good eating raw, cooked, canned or stored. Several small plantings are more satisfactory than one big one, since they are much more delicious when pulled young. Lettuce is a must have in the smallest home vegetable garden. Leaf types conserve space and are highy recommended for table quality. If heading types are preferred they must have a foot of space each way between individual plants. Beets, like carrots, take little space and provide lots of good eating. The first and second thinnings make the best of cooked greens. The third thinning makes a dainty dish of baby beets. A late planting yields baby beets for canning. Onions are easy to grow from sets. They are a hardy crop which can go in as soon as the ground can be worked. A month later young green onions are ready for pulling. The matured bulbs can be stored for later use. Onions need well-worked, richly fertilized soil. Swiss chard, especially the “ruby” or '“rhubarb” type, is a fine garden green. The outer leaves can be cut weekly, others appearing to take their place. New Zealand spinach is a trailing green which .thrives in hot weather. Very tender, it cannot be planted until early Summer. The large, hard seeds should be soaked for twenty-four hours before planting. It grows quickly and can be cut frequently. Peppers are one of the tender crops which produce heavily and for a long period once they are in bearing. They are invaluable in seasoning tomato and squash dishes, for stuffing and pickles. All “heats” can be had, from the very mild pimiento to the little pointed burning hot cayenne. Eggplant needs a rich soil and plenty of moisture. It is very tenrer but bears well through late Summer and Autumn. Parsley, high in the vitamin list, makes a decorative edging for the vegetable plot and herb garden. Use it chopped in all soups and salads, on potatoes, carrots and seafoods. It germinates slowly, so it is well to soak Food For Thought ANGEL FOOD CAKE FOR EASTER (Light as air... fluffy as a cloud__ true to its name) lVs cups egg whites 1% tsp. cream of tartar 44 tsp. salt lVz cups sugar 1 tsp. flavoring (vanilla or almond) 1 cup sifted Gold Medal Flour. Size: 344” high in deep 9” tube-center pan. 3” high in deep 10” tube-center pan. Time: Bake 60 to 65 min. Temperature: 325 degrees (slow mod. oven). 1. ) Assemble ingredients and utensils. Break eggs and drain egg white one at a time into small dish, then turn into measuring cup. Measure egg white into a 12” mixing bowl or a deep platter. Measure 1 cup of the sugar and sift twice. Measure flour and sift 3 times with remaining sugar onto sqs. of paper. 2. ) Beát egg whites with flat whip until frothy, then beat in cream of tartar and salt. Use long sweeping strokes and lift whip high to enclose as much air as possible. Continue beating until egg whites are glossy, fine grained and will stand up in a stiff point as beater is pulled out. A rotary or electric beater, Used through step 3, gives finer texture but lower volume. 3. ) Add 1 cup of the sugar gradually. Sprinkle just a little sugar at a time over the egg whites and gently beat and fold it in after each addition. This makes a thick, fluffy meringue just stiff enough to hold air successfully. Fold in flavoring. 4. ) Sift about a spoonful of the flour-sugar mixture at a time over the egg white meringue. Then gently and carefully cut and fold in, being careful not to knock down the batter or release the air in the egg whites. Continue just until all the floursugar mixture is folded in evenly. 5. ) Pour into a dry ungreased tube-center pan. With a knife, cut through batter (going around 3 times), to release large air bubbles and even up batter. Bake 1 hr, at 325 degrees. Or for speed bake 44 hr. at 400 degrees. To test Angel Foods or Sponge cakes, just before minimum time is up, touch top very lightly. If the impression of finger remains, bake a little longer. As soon as the surface, when touched, does not show an impression, cake is done. the seed for a day or two before planting. Rutabagas keep well in the ground and stored for winter. They are easier to grow than turnips in the aVerage soil. Planted in late June, through July, they are ready for Fall eating and storing. Sweet potatoes with full sun and good drainage usually produce well. Give them room to spread. Properly stored, they keep well. (From: The New York Times) Remove from oven, invert pan immediately, let cake hang in pan until entirely cold (1 hr.) To loosen cake, carefully plunge spatula down close against pan, then pull it out, and plunge down again, etc., all around the cake, so as not to pull off brown crust. Loosen around center tube in same way, and from bottom, if removable. If not, shake inverted pan sharply, holding fingers underneath cake to catch it as it falls from pgn. PEPPERMINT ANGEL FOOD: Make Angel Food using 1 tsp. peppermint extract or few drops peppermint oil as flavoring. Add féw drops red or green coloring. CHOCOLATE ANGEL FOOD: In Angel Food recipe, substitute cocoa for 44 cup of the flour. Sift the cocoa with -1 cup of the sugar. Proceed as for White Angel Food, using vanilla for flavoring. The larger Angel Food* (see recipe below) is recommended for a full volume Chocolate Angel Food as adding the cocoa reduces the volume. GOLD AND SILVER ANGEL FOOD: Make Angel Food, except omit flavoring. Divide batter into 2 parts. Fold into one half, 4 well beaten egg yolks, 2 tbsp. flour, and 1 tsp. lemon extract.
