Recipes For the Busy

An acre of white potatoes on
the average, say agricultural
researchers, produces a larger
tonnage of fobd than an acre
devoted to anything else. This.
is the largest and most valu-
able crop in the world, exceed-
ing any other table food plant
—including any cereal.
This is a very reassuring
thought if you've been worry-
ing about the world-wide popu-
lation explosion, an expected
jump from the present-day 3,-
150,000,000 inhabitants of the
planet Earth to some 6,900,-
000,000 by the year 2000. Not
only is the potato a great pro-•.
ducer of food for man„ but the
yield of potatoes- ger macre has
been doubled in the last twenty
years and further research will
surely increase this abundance
still more. •
Potato varieties whfrch were
most important commercially
at the beginning of the cen-
tury have been replaced by
newer, more disease-free types.
Several of our oustanding va-
rieties ---all on the Big Ten list
—hadn't even been heard of in
the 1920's.
What makes the potato such
a gift to mankind is that it
• comes near being a complete
though low protein food. Be-
cause of their high minera Wand
vitamin content, and the large
amounts consumed, potatoes are
one of our most important pro-
tective foods. A potato is a
veritable vegetable powerhouse,
needing only a little fat to
make it a sort of meal -in -one.
A study' in the,
energy value of
foods made by,the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture concludes,
"Human subjects of experi-
ments have remained in gen-
erally good condition for long
periods on -diets in which pota-
toes were practically the sole
source of protein."
Best of all, men,and boys,
women and girls all love pota-
toes, so if you have a sinall-
size population explosion right
at your own dining roomtable,
you will want these recipes
from the test . kitchens of the
United Fresh Fruit and Vege-
table Association, suggesting
appetizing main dishes which
feature the mighty potato.

Stiflle That Urge ' •
Professional gardeners, like
professionals in early all
walks of life, do not always
give identical advice. But if
there is one thing that they do
agree on, it is that one should
not start planting too early.
More energy, seed, soil and
other supplies are wasted in
that way than in all other gar-
dening operations.
Hardly has the last snow
melted and the ground started
to steam, than these enthusi-
asts are out getting stuff plant-
ed. And if the seeds do germ-
inate and some sort of growth.
starts, the chances are that late
frost or' cold rain will ruin it
anyway.
There are some exceptions to
any rule bot for most flowers
and vegetables there is far bet-
ter chance of normal,healthy
growth when seeding is held
back until both air and soil are
really warm. Even in flats in-
doorsor in hot b.eds one can
sow seed too soon. March or
even April is the time .that most
professionals start seed indoors.
If sooner the plants will get
too big and much too spindly
for successful transplanting out!,•
doors in May.
While the reather remains
cool and the soil muddy, the
wise gardener gets out a good
Canadian seed catalogue and a
government bulletin or two and
he plans and dreams about the
garden he is going to have next
month or the month after.
There are a few 'seeds that can
be planted . extra early, and it
is always well to spread the
sowing of standard vegetables
over several weeks to lengthen
the. harvest. But generally and
in most parts of Canada, out-
door gardening"can't safely
start for some weeks yet.
Garden Boxes • •
An excellent gardening job
for a rainy or coolish day when
one wants to stay indoors, is
the making of window or hang-
ing ' flower boxes. These are
wonderfully showy' things to
hang not only in front of any
window but along the blank
side of a house wall, or along
a verandah, steps or other plac-
es where an ordinary bed of
flowers cannot be developed.
And they are really quite sim-
ple to construct or have con-
structed.
Fairly strong boards with as
few knots as possible or half
or three-quarter inch plywood
are used. For the front and
back the pieces should be nine
or 10 inches wide and for the
bottom six or dight inches. The
boxes are best a little wider
at the top than the bottom, and
the corners should be reinforc-
ed with cleats or metal strips
fastened with screw nails.
Where 'the space is over • five
feet long it would be best to
build several boxes as they are
heavy and awkward to handle
otherwise. Stain or paint and
allow to dry before planting.
Naturally long boxes must be
SEAFORTH STITCHETTES
The shah meeting of the Sea -
forth Stitchettes was held at
the home of Julie Chapple.
Mary Elliott read the minutes.
The roll call was answered- by
13 girls, Miss Damude will at-
tend the next meeting at the
home of'Carol Van Loon.
The leaders showed how to
make bias binding. Diane Fin-
layson demonstrated the sew-
ing on of bias. The leaders then
helped any who had a problem
with her blouse.

hung with strong wire or chains
or supported by firm cleats
well secured underneath. Some-
times where close to the ground.
they can be placed on an up-
right support of two or three
bricks or a concrete block.'
There should be holes in the
bottom half • an inch or so: in
size and before being filled with
fine rich garden soil, a layer of
coarse gravel orsmall stones
put in for drainage. Later on
we' will deal with actual plant-
ing.
Timely Tips .
While waiting"" for the wea-
ther to turn warmer, it is a
good plan to study the seed
catalogue, brush up on' both
the common and the scientific
or Latin names: Then we are
absolutely, sure of what we are
getting when we place our gar-
den orders. '
Don't wait too long about
ordering seed, especially of the
new introductions. The stock) of
these ne* introductions is lim-
ited the first year or so until
enough seed can be harvested
to meet demands. As soon as,
your decisions have been made
as to color and quantity, mail
the orders.

tool for keeping spades, hoes
