CIVE TO THE RED CROSS War Garden Plans Budding in Queens With Spring definitely arrived, plans for Queens 1944 victory gardens are budding in the borough's CDVO offices. First steps are the listing of amateur vegetable-raisers who want to have their "farms" plowed and, finding the equipment, tractors, horse-drawn plows and roto-tillers, to tackle the job, according to Otto H. Langhans, Queens Vic- 3 torv Garden chairman. 2 3 C3 a 5 to I 100 Woo!

"We are trying to get the plowing service list made up row so that a schedule can be worked out to use the equipment in one section at a time instead of jumping from one part of the borough to another," Langhans said. The plowing service, for which the victory gardener pays a nominal fee, was popular last year. Plowing Tough Job "We couldn't get around to everybody last year," Langhans eaid.

"Plowing is a tough job, and many victory gardeners wanted it done for them." In its efforts to get the victory gardens off to a big start, the Queens CDVO is trying to locate as much plowing equipment as possible and hire it. Roto-tillers could do a big job this year because, he pointed out, much of the ground was used last year and, as a result, will no longer contain the big stones and debris. Queens had 100,000 victory gardens last year, rangirfg from small back yard "farms" to big community gardens, where as high as 60 to 70 apartment-dwelling families grew their own vegetables.

In line with the government's request for increased victory garden acreage, Langhans hopes to see Queens' total jump 10 this year to a total of 110,000 gardens. There is still plenty of space, unused last year, that apartment dwellers could plant this Spring, he added. am hoping victory gardeners will be as enthusiastic this year as last," said Langhans, who lives at 91-36 184th Jamaica, ard is a teacher at P. S. 109, Queens Village.

"The need is a little greater, I think." The Queens CDVO headquarters, at Lost Battalion Hall, Woodhaven, and the 15 branch offices are prepared to give advice on any victory garden queries. Learning from 1943's home farming, the CDVO advisers are urging this year's victory gardeners to spread out their planting more by planning carefully and putting in successive crops.
