PEPPERS 
Peppers are nut difficult to grow. For earliest yields sow in hutbeds 
and transplant to the open ground in May. Cover seed very lightly 
and keep the soil moist. Plants should be set about 15 inches apart 
in rows 2% feet apart. If the Peppers are kept picked before they 
turn red, the plants will produce great numbers during the season. 
Qne ounce produces about 1,600 plants.

THE FREEZING PRESERVATION OF FOOD 
This year, more than ever, families will preserve all or part of 
their winter’s supply of fruits, vegetables, poultry, meats and other 
foods by freezing. The post-war period will undoubtedly see a freez- 
ing unit in homes with the same frequency as that of the electric 
range and refrigerator. 
Several reasons why people prefer freezing to other methods of 
prservation are: 
(1) The frozen product, when thawed, is of the same condition and 
succulence as the fresh food. 
(2) Seasonal foods may be served the year round. Not only are they 
- of better quality, but they are also less expensive when you freeze 
them yourself.

The so-called luxury fruits and vegetables will probably not be 
available canned next year due to economic conditions. You can 
freeze them now and be sure of a bountiful supply. 
It is easier to prepare foods for freezing than to ean them. It 
takes less preparation and equipment. 
With a variety of frozen foods on hand, a meal can be prepared 
at a moment’s notice. 
Food values are kept practically intact.
