WASHINGTON, March 5.—Proof that there'll be no relation whatever between point price and money price of canned goods lies in the fact that though it may be cheaper, monetarily speaking, to buy in large quantities, it may not be, pointedly speaking. You may be torn between purchase of a No. 3 can of cherries and a No. 2%, because a No. 2%; can will be cheaper in money Value, but at the same time may use, in proportion, a large number of points. You had better brush up on mathematics and do the figuring out at home. Working out the ratios of money and point prices won't be easy. 2 ¥ 2 DON'T MAKE the mistake of dividing your point allocation on a basis of four weeks to a month. This will come out even only in February, and in other months you will have to go without rationed * food for three or four days. . One way in which you might : divide the 48 points for March is to divide the month into four spending periods, if you want to spread your purchases
March 1 through March 8; from March 9 through March 16; from March 17 through March 23, and March 24 through March 31. This gives you three eight-day periods, except March 54 : through 23, which includes only seven days.

point value of these protein foods and the date for actual rationA ing. There is a good chance that at that time OPA may also an- | | nounce rationing of butter, but, of course, coupons used for butter won't be the same as those used for meat and cheese. They will all come out of ration book 2, but only foods that are interchangeable will have the same coupons. Canned goods which may be juggled to suit your menu use the same coupon, and cheese .and meat, both proteins, will also have ‘interchangeable sets of coupons. But butter will have its own Specified coupon, since butter can’t be replaced by other products.

Do not {ramp or pack the soil over the seed if the ground is even slightly wet. Do not fail to thin the seedlings until they are at least eight inches apart. Most gardeners do not realize that a better crop is obtained by

Mignonette is a small solid heading home garden variety which seldom fails under Indiana conditions. ‘This. type of lettuce will not head during the heat of summer, so the gardener must plant his crop so that it matures during cool weather. The most successful method of planting head lettuce is to sow tke seeds in a flat and transplant to the garden very early in the spring. The seedlings can be set out as soon as the soil can be prepared, even before the danger of frost .is over. A good crop can be expected during the cool days of early spring. Lettuce has few garden enemies and should seldom be omitted from the garden plan. If the family prefers other greens, however, try mustard, Swiss chard or New Zealand spinach, described in the first ar-
ticle of this series.
Owner Going in Army Offers 3 Acres for 'V' Gardening
Service in the armed forces and service at home is the slogan of one generous landowner who telephoned The Times victory garden editor. Glen E. McMillan, 144 W. 18th st., recently was inducted into the
on his land south of the West Edgewood addition on route 81.
As he cleared up his affairs getting ready to leave he thought about
army and leaves tomorrow. He had planned to have a victory garden
he pleaded, “and you can let him use two acres for a victory garden while I'm away.” Most of the third acre is covered with great trees which the owner values highly. Mr. McMillan enlisted in the navy when quite young. He has “seen the world” and considers it worth fighting for. “The more we all do,” he said, “the sooner this war will end. I hope my land will help some people through.” : The Times has Mr. McMillan’s
