the plan are to be followed specifi- 
cally. Choice of varieties for each 
kind of vegetable is left to individual 
preference. 
The second unit is larger; requires 
1500 square feet, and includes the 
mid-summer vegetables. Still more 
area — 3000 square feet — is required 
for the third unit. It involves the late 
vegetables, many of them vining. 
yx What counts is: How much good 
eating did the family get out of your 
Demonstration Garden? Take its meas- 
ure in fresh, canned, pickled, dried, 
or stored eatables. The Demonstra- 
tion record forms have space to keep 
a simple tabulation of your garden’s 
yield. Since the purpose of a family 
garden is to supply food for home 
use, calculating yield of these Demon- 
stration Gardens will be a simple mat- 
ter of adding up the persons, times 
the servings, for each vegetable used. 
x He plowed up $262 when he won 
first place and that much prize money 
in the eastern division of the 1942 
National Plowing Contest — that’s 
what William Hawley, 19, of Appo- 
naug, Rhode Island, did just before 
he set out with Uncle Sam’s navy to 
plow the ocean blue. 
But just for good measure he also 
stepped up and took second honors in 
the National Farm Management Con- 
test of the National Farm Youth 
Foundation and thus rang up a total 
cash prize record of $512. 
Bill Hawley studied vocational ag- 
riculture under Alfred E. Hersey at 
Lockwood High School in his home 
town; then freshmanned in ‘‘ag’’ at 
Rhode Island State College; and this 
fall worked at the Eastern States 
service waréhouse in Olneyville until 
enlisting. 
He began his commando raids on 
prize competitions as a high school 
junior when he joined a 4-H poultry 
club and teamed up with Charles 
Angell to take the state’s demonstra- 
tion championship and win a trip to 
the NEPPCO show in Harrisburg, 
Pennsylvania. His vocational instruc- 
tor steered his interest toward the 
Youth Foundation courses in farm 
machinery and management. He be- 
came president of his Classe eee wOll 
the New England Plowing Contest. 
That was in August and to partici- 
pate in the eastern division of the con- 
test he went to Quebec, Canada, 
where he plowed, plowed and won! 
Bull wants to farm — may God 
speed the day he can.

HAVE PROBLEMS 
sx Seven feed items were eliminated 
beginning December 16, 1942, in 
order to enable Eastern States produc- 
tion and loading facilities to produce 
mixed rations which are much more 
significant to the war effort of pro- 
ducing eggs and milk. Gone from the 
Exchange's service are: 
Dog Feed 
Turkey-Breeder Mash 
Ground corn and oats 
Dried skim milk 
Alfalfa leaf meal 
Barley 
Crimped oats 
What will make many members 
most unhappy is the fact that the use 
of critical materials such as alfalfa 
leaf meal, meat and fish, so badly 
needed in poultry mashes, can no 
longer be justified in the production 
of Eastern States Dog Feed. Further- 
more by discontinuing so many 25s 
of dog feed, we increase production 
of dairy and poultry feed 70 tons a 
day. The disappointment to dog 
owners is just one of the many 
headaches War makes. 
Corn meal and ground oats — as 
individual ingredients —- continue to 
be available for those who have a real 
need for ground corn and oats. Many 
members using ground corn and oats 
for horses with poor teeth should 
consider Eastern States Fitting Ration. 
When used for dairy cattle, one of the 
dairy feeds should be selected or 
where it is being fed to hogs, Eastern 
States Hog Meal will be more effective. 
Eastern States Turkey-Breeder pellets 
can effectively replace mash for tur- 
key breeders. 
Because of low consumption during 
off months, Turkey-Start, pellets and 
mash, will not be available October 
through January, nor Turkey-Breeder 
pellets, July through November. 
Turkey-Grower will be available during 
the entire year.
