So important are these in the average diet that besieged Great Britain is now stressing homs- growil, fresh vegetables above al-. most any other food. They are, essential in any diet, and when prop- erly grown are the most flavourable of our foods, as •well. The secret of high-quality vegetables, the kind that will take us back to the.supper delights of our childhood. is quick, unchecked growth and ''reshness. If we can - keep carrels, beets, beans, peas and such things growing quickly and s'teadiiy, then there 15 no chance for woody bre to de- velop, Having done thin the only other thing necessary is to make sure .that no time is lost between picking and the table. (garden Peas and corn, for example, fresh picked, have a flavor that is impossible to get when these salve vegetables picked one day and used the' next. By that time the natural sweetness has disappeared. Most. For the Money For sheer volume per square yard of soil employed, vegetables are the biggest yielding crop one can grow. Not only can most lines be grown close together, butwith some things like lettuce and carrots, for instance a second crop can be harvested in a tingle season. Small vegetables like lettuce and radish require rows 15 incnes apart. Beets, beans, carrots, peas and spin- ach need 18 Inches between, while potatoes, corn and staked tomatoes ,must have a couple of feet to thirty- inches. Space may be saveJ with the latter type if something quick -matur- ing such as lettuce and spinach are planted in between. Tite bigger thing will not need the full room at first and by the time they do, the early crope will be out of tie way, Lawn Work Now Because grass is a enol -weather plant, any work -with lawns should be started just as quIcklr in the ,Spring as possible, experts point out. This does not mean, of :muse, that the soil should be workei while it Ss still wet. "_ That sort ' of thing never helps in any kind 'a1 garden ing. But once one can walk over the ground without getting shoes muddy, then the rake can be brought into play. - In both new lawns or -patching, the soil should he raked fine ,and level. Authorities advise sowing only the highest quality' of send mixtures and as thick as directions specify. To get even results it is best to make a double sewing, , one across and once lengthwise. Small patches can be protected from the birds by brush. • Both new and old lawns benefit from rolling while the ground is still soft. Grass, like any other pant, benefits. from rich sol and an annual application of fertilizer. This improves the growth and also the color of the grass itself. Building Up Sell Perfect garden soil is a light, rich loam, which means a mixture of sand ciay and rotted vegetable matter. - The Lotter is technically BRITAIN'S ,One at the most gpeotacular OW' nodes of the war has been the free- eteteahle sweep toward of the British forces against the Italians at .Sidi Bement, and Bertha, VICTORIOUS AUSTRALIANS In these actions a great part was played by the Australian •meelrhniz, ed units, and in this picture a de, taohment la seep roving over the Western Desert 'WA act:0l1.
