Tue Eastern States color camera caught Miss Patricia 
Wills of Buffalo Mills, Bedford county, Pennsylvania, 
just after she harvested some of dad’s sweet corn. The 
lovely lady and that corn beaming with appetite appeal 
make a perfect combination for the Cooperator’s 1946 
debut. 
Patricia is a freshman at the State Teacher's College; 
Indiana, Pennsylvania. Her market gardening father is 
Randolph Wills, long-time enthusiastic Eastern States 
member and local representative. 
E. W. Kestner took the picture.

EvIpDENCE is accumulating to prove that the 
nutritional value of our home garden vegetables 
can be as good or poor as the fertility of soil on 
which they grew. No spot of ground is more 
important than your family garden plot. It can 
contribute to or detract from family health. And 
the day may not be far away when commercial 
vegetable growers will compete heavily on a 
basis of whose vegetables are the best source of 
vitamins and minerals, with laboratory tests to 
back up claims.
