The Balanced Garden, F. Mccall

SDSU Extension Circulars

The body needs protein, carbohydrates and fats in a quite well defined ratio. This ratio can be most easily provided if balanced meals are served. It will be much easier to serve balanced meals if the foods containing the proteins, the carbohydrates and fats are produced in or near the right proportions. If the garden is depended upon for the bulk of the food supply, then the varieties grown should be selected upon this basis.
