LL If you're missing those now extinct pot and pan scrapers you used in washing dishes, take a uw from Mrs. Dorothy Brannan, 146 W. Maple rd.

She made one of her own.

“Mrs. Brannan found an extra small chain similar to those on the drain plugs in wash bowls and bath tubs. She puts that under a dish

“Spreading Those Points

A letter from “Just a Housewife” _ gives her plan on figuring food and - ration points. Here's how she would

work it:

- Obtain a list of food and their . point values (printed in The Times Then check the foods you housewives normally buy. Run “a pencil over to the size can or . weight you bought and put_a circle around the point value it will cost. Then start with the highest points : and list under them the foods that

will be 7 to 10 cents a dozen above the temporary freeze of last October. The highest price that can be charged in Indianapolis between March 11 and May 30 is 52 cents, which is also the national average.

Prohibits Chocolate “Novelties”

Agriculture Secretary Claude R. Wickard ordered further restrictions on the manufacture of chocolate. His order prohibits further manufacture of chocolate novelty and decorated candy pieces, chocolate coating of such items, chocolate shot and similar processes. The war production board is resible for an order’ that may make beer weaker. It ordered a 7 per cent cut by large brewers in malt and malt syrup consumption and prohibited small brewers from exceeding 1942 consumption. The order will not appreciably reduce the quantity or quality of beer produced, but WPB officials admitted that some brewers might reduce the alcoholic content as a result of it. The egg order provides that retailers shall compute their own ceilings by a percentage mark-up, depending upon -the volume of business, applied to the net cost of the eggs they buy.

Retailers will be divided into four groups according to their volume of business: Big indepenednts and chain stores will be required to sell eggs. at a lower price than their smaller competitors. Retailers with a volume of sales less than $50,000 a year will multiply the net cost of the eggs to them by 1.17 to obtain the maximum price which they may charge the housewife. The markup multiplier for independents doing between $50,000 and $250,000 business will be 1.15 while chain stores doing an edial amount of business will have a 114 markup. All stores—independent, chain or super-rarkets— with more than $250,000 annual busineses will multiply by 1.12. At present a wholesale ceiling of 422 cents is in ‘effect in Indianapolis for Grade A eggs. Extra large Grade A eggs may be sold for 2 cents more than the new ceiling. Grade B will be 2 cents lower than Grade A and Grade C will be 5 cents below Grade A.

installment for future use.

Greens are among the first vegetables to be planted in the spring and gardeners in Marion county are assured of good results if proper care

is given the crops. . a

A. A. Irwin, assistant county agricultural agent, advises the family to decide whether it prefers spinach, mustard or swiss chard and then plant one or more of these vitamin supplying vegetables in the home vic-

tory garden. Both spinach and mustard must be seeded very early in the spring and a second seeding made fora fall crop about July 20. A 15-foot row of swiss chard will take care of the average family’s needs all summer long.

Soil Should Be Packed These vegetable seeds must not be covered with more than one-fourth inch of soil. The soil should then be packed with the feet or a two-by-four board if the soil is dry and in good working’ condition. Mr. Irwin recommends that thin seedlings be planted eight inches apart. When the plants are two inches high, two handfuls of the regular 3-8-7 victory garden fertilizer or a

quart of poultry droppings to each] .

eight or 10 feet of row may-be used as a side dressing. A two-inch: mulch of chicken scratching litter in a band six inches wide along each side of the leafy vegetable rows is a good cultural practice and a substitute for cultivation, The swiss chard is usually Lucullus. The new rhubarb swiss chard also is well worth a trial. It will add color to the ‘table and to the garden.

Chard Dependable Source

Chard is a more dependable source of greens during the hot summer months than either spinach or mustard, but some people don’t like it, and in such cases it’s foolish to. give it garden space. New Zealand spinach also does well during the hot months. If you have never used it, try a 15-fapt row this year. Both chard and New Zealand spinach are harvested by removing only the tender leaves from each plant, thus providing an opportunity for the plant to produce successive crops of fresh tender leaves in many cases over a period of two months. Other spinach varieties recommended by Mr. Irwin are Bloomsdale, King of Denmark and Nobel for spring planting d Virginia Savoy for the fall crop. If sufficient food is available, spinach is a rapid grower and will be ready to use about six weeks after seeding.

S the Family Taste

Tendergreen and Fordhook fancy |. curles are recommended mustard varieties. Some people do not like the flavor of mustard greens, but to others it is superior to spinach or chard. This personal preference should be given consideration when the garden is planned. Spinach and mustard are canned in large volumes commercially and in the home. Fresh table and canning requirements should determine the number of feet of row to be planted. The expected yield is three to four bushels for each 100 feet of row. One bushel of greens is required for eight pint cans. Surplus of leafy vegetable seed in :each packet should be saved for the fall garden. Mr. Irwin points out that 1943 is a year in which we must not only “grow our own”

spring crops of vegetables, but also|’

duplicate with just as large a fall.

CHARTER IS ACCEPTED

ALGIERS, March 2 (U. P.).—Gen.

Henri Honore Giraud told the Algerian economic council last night that he accepted the Atlantic charter heartily, and that “while making war, we must prepare for peace.”

Beans on porch lattices, cucumbers in barrels, and lettuce, green onions or tomatoes in sunny porch boxes will help solve the food problem for families who have no ground available. Small yard owners, window box gardeners ‘and people with shaded yards also may do a limited amount of gardening, according to garden experts, Use of existing garden beds and perennial . horders for Vegetables was urged today by A. A. Irwin, assistant county agricultural agent. “Such ground is usually well fertilized,” he said, “and should grow fine crops. Victory fertilizer should be used, however, to insure a good yield.” Mr. Irwin pointed out that peppers are a very decorative plant which can be planted between perennials or in front of foundation plantings areund homes : without spoiling the appearance of the property. Lettuce, radishes, onions, chard, spinach, carrots and «ale should grow well in flower beds. Tomatoes thrive in the rich soil of the borders, Householders are urged to fill their tulip beds with vegetables which will mature after the tulips are lifted. Choice of several crops may be made by consulting a table

which fives the number of days required from planting seed to the time the crop is ready to use. The scarlet runner bean is highly recommended far nlanfing around porches and on {trellises or fences by H. 1. Smolenski of Indianepolis, chairman of the National Association of Gardeners.

Experienced as a grower and

Smolengki was faced with the problem of growing bumper crops in small areas. To illustrate the productivity of the scarlet runner, Mr. sSmolenski said, “I believe that one good bean seed planted, let roam freely and] kept well fed, would practically supply a small family, “Scarlet runner is one of the main food crops in Germany,” he e plained, | “and is grown. almost as much for its veauty and shade as for its crop. The vine bears a bright red flower. ‘The bean, while not stringlest, does "ave an excellent flavor and may be canned just as any other green bean.” Local seed dealers report that scarlet ~unner is used in this country as an ornamental vine. The pods are large and flat, possibly rouch tougher than our favorite varieties of bean. One dealer expressed the opinion that the bean would be

Another favorite space saver rec-
