In order to extend the supplies of chemical nitrogen, in the pro- duction of food, it has been necessary to prohibit its use for orna- mental plantings, golf courses, cemeteries, athletic fields and some farm crops, such as wheat, watermelons, cantaloupes and cucum bers. Hardwood Ashes Good Fertilizer For the Garden Coal ashes and ashes from sottwoods have little value as fertilizer but hardwood ashes are rich in potash and lime, specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture are informing Victory gardeners who ask about using ashes on garden soils. Ins Jtuun- jptft Gardeners who treat vegetable seed before planting to protect against diseases will be more likely to harvest successful yields from their 1943 Victory gardens.

Materials for seed treatment and methods of treating are outlined for home and commercial vegetable gardeners in a new Farmers' Bulletin. No. 1862, available from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.

S. Department of Agriculture and 'he War Production Board for use this year on home gardens. These authorities agree fertilizer must be provided so Victory gardens may at-tain the highest possible productivity. The new fertilizer combines organic nitrogen, the benefits of which extend well over the growing season, with a small amount of chemical nitrogen which provides vegetable plantings with a quick start. The Victory garden grade carries 3 per cent nitrogen, about 85 per cent of which is organic, together with 8 per cent of phosphoric acid and 7 per cent potash.

Agronomists agree this 3-8-7 grade is probably the best for the gardener during the wartime emergency. He may obtain it in uniform packages of 5, 10. 25. 50 and 100 pounds net weight, each of which is to be labeled "Victory garden fertilizer for food production Any private brand name may be used for this grade. Anyone who has purchased fertilizers by name in the past probably will find the same brand name on the Victory garden fertilizer.

Ceiling prices have been established which will insure this tilizer being available at nominal consistent with its quality.

Hope to Break Records Farmers of the U. S. will be doing their level best to break kh'. production records again this car as they have done in each of the past three years. food is a weapon in the war we are lighting all around the world, ami Secretary of Agriculture Claude It.

Wickard, in charge of food production and distribution for the nation we can't produce too much. We need tremendous quantities of all kinds of food for our armed forces, our Allies and our folks at home. growing and preserving nr own supply of vegetables, yi can relieve the drain on com-, meicial stocks of food and also nu.ke sure that you get an abundance of the kinds of food that put vitamins and minerals in your daily diet. By growing a Victory garden you can help the country build up its stockpile of food for war uses. You can make it easier for our own fighting men and our fighting allies to get the food they need to keep driving against the Axis aggressors.

You can help bui'd the stockpile higher for the campaigns yet to come and for the countries being re-occupied food that, must be ready to back up each drive. By growing a Victory garden y.u can hell) save vital metals used for canning. The food you cat from your garden will reduce the amount needed from cans nr: will supplement the supplies oi canned food that will be avail-al le under rationing. Aids Shipping Shortage The Victory garden will ease i lie burdens of our transportation sv.stem by cutting down the amount of food that must be ship-oeti to vour community and ti rebv it will help keep guns and tanks and amunition rolling to- ward the war fronts. Industrv has converted to the piudiiction of war equipment and munitions.

Farmers have converir I'd to war food and fiber production By growing a Victory garden you can convert your available resources on the last sector of the home front to war production. Throughout the nation, the farm lamilies. the city dwellers, the lu'Lurban and town residents, school children, and groups on community plots do an important part in winning the battle of food 134:1 by increasing the national food supply. In winning the battle the Victory gardeners also can help make all the people healthier and stronger. Coal ashes have no value as fertilizer, but they will loosen heavv soil and make it more workable.

However, they should be screened to remove clinkers and cinders, the experts say. Ashes from pine and other softwoods have comparatively little value as fertilizers, but also help to loosen stiff soils. Ashes from oak, hickory, and other hardwoods, however, have considerable value as fertilizer. Frequently, they contain as much as 7 per cent potash, and also a little lime. About 40 pounds of hardwood ashes are enough for a garden 30 by 50 feet.

They should be thoroughly mixed with the soil. Be sure to protect accumulations of hardwood ashes from exposure to the weather to prevent their potash from being leached away, the garden specialists warn. Simple Tools Only Needed By Gardener Fancy Gadgets Are Unnecessary, College Experts State Fancy tools are hard to get. and they reduce the profits of Victory gar Jeninit. This girl could tell you that careful, regular work ith simple implements produces results.

Only a half dozen essential 4ools are needed for use in your Victory garden, experts at the College of Agriculture inform those planning a garden for the first time this year A garden spade or spading fork to dig the soil is, of course a ne- cessity. The spading fork is most popular for this purpose. It has long, slightly curved prongs ana a conveniently short handle. However, a few gardeners prefer a regular garden spade. A long-handled shovel is recommended for a very tall person.

It's all a matter of personal preference but most amateurs will find a spading fork more useful. A trowel is another piece ot garcenjng equipment you cannot afford to be without. A trowel is a little hand tool, useful for many things, especially for setting out plants. Another necessary item is an iron rake to level and smooth the soil preparatory to planting. The standard-size rake is the best.

The small ones with only six teeth are good for getting in and out of closelv planted rows, but gardeners will find one with about a dozen teeth a good, all-purpose rake. A strongly built hoe and a garden liner are two other needed pieces of equipment. They are mentioned together because they are used together. The liner is a device for making straight rows. You can make one yourself by attaching some strong cord to two sticks.

You anchor one stick in the ground, unwind the cord where you want the row to be, then place the stick in the ground at the end of the row. The liner is "a great help to those who have trouble getting straight rows. It is really a garden ruler. You leave the string in place until you onen the furrows with the hoe. The hoe is also needed when the weeds appear.

If the garden is of any size the hand hoe should be replaced with a small cultivator. This is one item a group of neighbors might buy together. A duster or sprayer is another garden item which the gardener ill not need every day but which ill be'necessary when insects appear. A hand sprayer like the kind used to kill mosquitoes is alright. The larger are handy, but not essential.

The duster, of course, is operated by hand and is similar to the spray gun. but has bellows instead of a hand-pump Plant Seeds In Your '43 Everybody who has a suitable piece of fertile ground can make an important contribution to the national food program and help wir. the war by growing a home v. getable garden in 1943.

S. Department of Agriculture reports. In no case, however, is the supply large enough to permit waste of seed through careless sowing, neglect of a planted garden, or attempt to garden on soil too poor to produce vegetables. The department says seeds of most vegetables usually may be purchased from regular seed denlers and also are commonly available in the small packets sold by retail stores. Persons planning Victory gardens should not write to the Department of Agriculture for seeds, since it does not base seeds cither for sale or for free di--tnhution.
