BERRIES NEED RAIN Big, juicy berries, or runty, dried-up ones— the water supply may make all the difference. The yield and quality of strawberries, raspberries and blackberries depends somewhat on the amount of rain-fall they receive, as well as soil moisture. Too much rain, says County Agent Holmes, is about as big a calamity as no rain at all. As the berries begin to and foliage develops on plants, the drain on the jnoisture increases. With approach of warm weather and an increase in plant transpiration, the plants ned water. If it isn’t supplied by rainfall, it should be supplied artificially. The home gardener who has an available water supply should see Mat the berries get a good soaking once a week. A rain of one-half inch to an inch may suffice for a period of five to seven days. Commercial berry growers have found it profitable to irrigate. Often this means the difference between a profitable crop and a costly picking of small, runty berries, seemingly lull of seeds. The amount of moisture in the soli during the early part of June is important i fa good crop is to.be harvested. TRANSPLANT WITH CAKE A transplant stuck in the soil with a “bless you now live or die" has little chance. Late cabcage or cauliflower plants should lie carefully tiansplanted if they ate to get the proper .start, advises Mr. Holmes. Lift the transplants carefully from the plant bed. If soil adheres to the ioot system, it is an added advantage, as this soil will protect the roots from dryirg. If no soil sticks to the roots, wrap the plants In moist newspaper or put them in water. Although the time may seem rhort from the shifting of the plant from the plant bed to the soil, only a few minutes of dryii’g conditions will check plant growth. The hole into which the transplant goes should be moist. In some instances. It will pay to water In the plants. To reduce transpiration and check wilting, a shingle may be set on the west side atan agle of 45 degrees, or a leafy blanch 10 inches long may be set on the west side and broken over at the half way mark to the east. This method affords good shade and yet permits air circulation without absorbing a great amount of heat from the sun. A good time to transplant is late in the evening

PRUNE BERRY BUSHES Cut out the old and give the new a chance, Mr. Holmes suggests to home gardeners who have a few berry bushes. Failure to cut out and burn the old canes that have produced this year’s crop can be a big mistake. These old canes have no value as producers ot more berries, but may harbor diseases and insect pests that will leave them and go to the new growth. When the last berries are picked and while the word to be done Is fresh in mind, is the time to do this job. Cut off the old canes right at the ground, as long stub may became a soutce of Infec-
tion.
After the berries are pruned, take the old canes some
MILITARY TRAINING WASHINGTON, June 16 The War Department threw its full force into Ufe congressional fight for compulsoiy peacetime military training today. Secretary Stimson stressed the view that quickly available force is its own insurance against the need to use force and that it would represent American deteimlnation to make peace work. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower based arguments for peacetime' training on the greater tactical effectiveness and personal chances for survival of troops who know their business of war. Theli testimony before the House postwar military policy committee Stimson's in person and Elsenhower’s by letter was backed up by that of their highlanking officers who saw both military and moral value in a jear of training foi every youth. “Unless we are now willing to adopt a permanent program of universal military training we shall be gambling with the future security of our national inheritance,” Stimson told the committee. The difference between partially trained and thoroughly trained troops, Eisenhower asserted in a letter read by Chairman Wood rum, Democrat, Virginia, "is measured both in tactical effectiveness and in loss of men.”

Better nutrition for childre-. in many American families depends on more home-produce'i food. This is the conclusion reached by nutrition scientists of the Maine experiment station as a result of 10 years of study of the nutritional status and food habits of children in that state. The scientists suggest that parents need constant education on the advantages of home gardens and home food preservation to offset the increasing tendency to buy everything the family eats. Because more planning and effort is required to produce food at home than to buy it, and because markets today offer so many palatable and labor-saving products, families are inclined to take the easy way of buying more food and producing less of their own. Yet the Maine studies showed Uiat many families above the relief level canriot afford to buy all the foods they need for adequate nutrition, and other families, who could afford it. prefer to spend their money in other ways. For these reasons, many families' diets checked in the study were short, especially on vitamins and calcium, and health examinations of the children showed the effect of these short-
ages.
The nutrition scientists urged the growing of more tomatoes and also cabbage, rutabagas and broccoli, particularly to furnish meals with more vitamin C. Their studies showed that not more than one children in seven had the minimum allowance fc vitamin C—-at least one serving a day of foods rich in this vitamin. Only one fourth of the children had tomatoes or citrus fruits each day, yet these are among the most important foods for vitamin C. Home gardens also should grow more green and yellow vegetables to furnish diets with more vitamin A. The scientists suggest especially greens, kale, spinach, turnip or rutabaga tops, and also carrots, winter squash, leaf lettuce, green beans and green peas. i*tany states like Maine, family meals are likely to include a good many potatoes and dried beans and peas, but rot enough green and yellow vegetables so that children run short of vitamin A. The minimum allowance for vitamin A is at least one serving a day of -a green or yellow vegetable. Such vegetables furnish not only A but add some vitamin C and important minerals to meals. Glowing gardens for fresh summer vegetables is only part of the home production of food needed for better nutrition of children. Families need to understand how important it is to put up fruits and vegetables by the best methods of preservation to insure an adequate, year-round diet. More canning of tomatoes green beans ,and peas is advised. Where pbssible, freezing preservation is recommended because it saves labor, keeps the fresh flavor of foods and holds nutritive value. Home gardens should i.iclude also extra vegetables for, winter storage—rutabagas, cabbage, winter squash and carrots. TRY BANNER ADVERTISING
