WEEKLY LETTER WRITTEN EX.
PRESSLY FOR THE BULLETIN
BY DR. DAVID H. REEDER

NATURAL FOODS: It is quite
likely that humanity will never

wholly return to a real natural diet.
It seems that many of the nature
cure exponents think that man
cannot improve on nature. That na-
ture produces everything in a per-
fect and finished condition.
Undoubtedly the natural food of
primitive man was leaves, plants,
roots, seeds, fruits and nuts. In
many cases of sickness, health is
restored by a return to an active
outdoor life with this natural or
primitive diet.
In my opinion, it is not the cook-
ing of food by modern methods
that causes the indigestion and the
hundreds of various ailments that
| follow our modern methods of
mixing and serving.
Primitive man got plenty of pure
fresh air, plenty of exercise and
better than all else, he got plenty

healing agent in the world, directly
on his naked skin. That
the modalities that the successful
| physicians are most frequently pre-
| scribing today.
Sunshine, lot of it, and
been demonstrated that man’s in-
| ventions in the form of powerful
deep therapy lamps, are just as
efficient and much more pleasant to
| apply than direct sunshine.
| I do not believe that the
| radical nature curist will deny that
| the big, sweet juicy seedless oranges
| developed through man’s ingenuity,
{is far better than the little sour,
| seedy fruit, from which it has been
| developed, or that there is any com-
| parison with other cultivated and
| developed fruit and vegetables with
| the originals from which they came.
| Man can live in perfect health
| and be quite happy for a hundred
years upon a diet of fruits, vege-
| tables, nuts, cereals, roots and
| meats. Yes, I said meats and 1
| will also add other animal products
[ such as milk, eggs, fowl and fish, if
| he will only use as much plain com-
[ mon sense as the most ignorant
farmer must use to grow crops.
Our big trouble is that we are
too abundantly supplied with food

at one meal. We eat bread and
potatoes, meat and eggs, fruits and
vegetables, all at the same meal,
and right there we violate nature’s
laws and we must pay the penalty.
Pickles and potatoes don’t belong
in the one dish, but we put them in
one stomach at the same time and
then we add pies, cakes and pud-
dings. Nature supplies the heat
and we have a distillery which works
rapidly. Fermentation is bound to
follow and you know just as well
as I do that fermentation produces
gas, you bloat and almost explode
and then you write and tell me that
you suffer constantly with gas.
Sometimes I feel like taking my
slipper and using it vigorously on
you because you wan't quit such
silly mixtures in your food. .
0, yes, perhaps you don’t eat

pickles, but pickles are not the only
acid foods that are eaten with
starch.
Class all fruits, tomatoes and all
commercial sugar as acid foods; all
cereals, bread of all kinds and po-
tatoes as starches and don’t mix
them. You can’t digest them to-
gether. Four hours apart they are
most excellent, but keep them apart.
In the next article, I will tell you
more about good and bad combina-
tions and if you will clip out and
save this and the articles to follow,
you will also save yourself much
needless suffering and many need-
less doctor bills.

Keep Cockerels by Themselves

Penn Lime, Stone

The unusual cock bird that is
kept over for the next breeding
season should be taken from the
laying flock, and either put in a pen
with the growing cockerels or con-
fined by himself in a small inclosure.
The pen may be made of wire and
so constructed that it can be moved
around from place to place. This
will keep the pasture in good shape,
and the male will be content thru-
out the summer. A few boards over
the top of the roosting pole will
furnish adequate protection from
the weather.

BOOSTING THE BAMBOO

| For 25 years the United States
Department of Agriculture has
been studying the bamboo and its
behavior in the soils and climate of
the United States. A number of
different kinds of bamboo have
been found to be adaptable and
have become established in small
groves in the South Atlantic, Gulf
Coast, and Pacific Coast States
where their beauty and charm as
well as varied utilization have caus-
ed the traveler to view them with
interest. Most of these plantings
have been introduced from the
Orient, chiefly Japan and China,
where the bamboo is so intimately
bound up with the life of the peo-
ple. That more groves have not
been established is due to the fact
that good plants are too bulky to
transport great distances.
The studies of the department,
however, have yielded a method of
propagation by means of
ground root cuttings, or rhizomes,
which may be easily transported
and replanted with reasonable as-
surance that they will grow. Sev-
of sunshine, the most powerful eral groves are maintained by the |
department as nurseries where rhi-
is one of zomes for propagating material are |
now being produced for subsequent
distribution to individuals who de-
sire to cooperate with the depart-
it has ment in its work of establish‘ng the | hay in mow increasing pressure and

with foundation stock for small

increase their number and make
more stock available for trans-
planting in the groves proper next
spring. Eight to ten years is re-
quired to establish a grove that
will furnish plants of large size.
{ In the teritory where the bamboo
will thrive, namely, the South At-
"lantic, Gulf Coast, and Pacific Coast
States, and some of the States of
ithe lower Mississippi Valley, there
[are thousands of farms, says the
; department, where there are oppor-
tunities for the development of
small bamboo groves of an acre-or
two in extent. There are no good
reasons why most of these farms
should not have such groves.
The giant timber bamboo and one
or two of the smaller growing
| kinds, such as the stake bamkboo,
i would be most valuable for t.ese
farm-home groves, Thesz groves,
if properly handled, in e cour e
of 8 or 10. yeas wo d pve nt
only a source of profit Lut would
be the means of provi ing many
conveniences for t.e fam and
home, such as light fenc:s, trellises,
bean poles, pea stakes, ad stakes
for flowers and young trees, fish
poles and fruit poles, - hay--urling
racks, and water-carrying pipes
Bamboos and poultry make a
happy combination, and their ue
in this connection is strongly re-
commended.
Although many millions of dol-
{
i
ed bamboo for commercial purposes
this trade can not be expected to
play any part in the demand for
home-grown bamboo for a good
many years—at least until enough
groves have been established to
assure the commercial interests of
a continuous supply in a commer-
cial quantity. The beginning of
the bamboo industry in this count-
ry, then, must be based on its uses
in a smal way in the garden and
around the home.

SCALE INSECTS CONTROL
GIVEN IN LATEST BULLETIN

“Qeale Insects Injurious in Penn-
sylvania” is the title of a 24-page
bulletin just published by the State
Department of Agriculture, Harris-
burg.
As a group, the scale insects, such
as San Jose Scale, rose scale, scurfy
scale, globular scale, and oyster-shell
scale, are real trouble-makers to all
growers of woodly plants. Accord-
ing to F. M. Trimble, Chief Nursery
Inspector, 110 species of scale in-
sects have been observed during the
inspection of nursery stock, orchards
and greenhouse plants. Of this num-
ber, however, only twenty-four are
considered generally injurious, but
among them are several of the most
serious pests of horticulture.
This new publication, general bul-
letin No. 398, gives description, dis-
tribution, food plants, and control
for each of these twenty-four spe-
cies. Six different methods of con-
trol with formulae for sprays are
included and eighteen of the species
are illustrated. :
The bulletin is free.

that not including fires caused by

following month the hay got very

similar to live coals were found, and
after calling Fire Department and

Can Vegetables for Winter?
How many vegetables have been
canned for use during the winter?
Very likely a large part of the
canning supply depends upon the
vegetables which will develoo dur-
ing September and early October,
say gardening specialists of the

include late tomatoes, snap and
lima beans, small beets and carrots
cauliflower, sweet corn, squash,
and many greens, spinach espe-
cially.
