which officials paint in much dark er colors when speaking privately than in their official slatementa gloomy Ite tileY Ire Victory Garden Down 24 Velf cent Though Victory gardens are far more needed this year than in 194 it is estimated that so far twenty Ova per cent fewer have been planted Some of this loss is due to bad weather and some to lace 9f in terest It is hoped that welt of tbe serious need for every pound oi food that can be produced will revive the crusade spirit and bring about the planting of millions of new gardens and the enlargement of those already started In addressing the conferences of Victory garden workers Director Paul Stark said: "As laid out by President Truman our job is first to make every effort to increase the production of food in the nation's Victory gar dens by enlarged and continuous plantings: and second to encour age the home preservation of every possible pound of food for next win ter Considering that war require ments for commercially processed food have gone up not down since the end of fighting in Europe we naturally place food preservation on a level of equal importance with home food production Our job this year calls for more and harder work than we've yet done "The most immediate problem facing us is getting gardens planted or enlarged As you know the weath er has been unfavorable lately in many parts of the country Food crops especially fruits and vege tables have been severely dam aged We can't do anything about the weather except talk But we can do something about those discouraged gardeners and their gardens A lot hangs on what we accomplish during the next few weeks Still Plenty of Time to Plant "We know that the supply for civilians of canned tomatoes will be only about half what it was a year ago "It's up to us to grow a lot more tomatoes in Victory gardens Along with the tomatoes of course we want to get gardens planted or replanted or enlarged with the other vegetable crops that give the most for the least amount of land work and materials" WASHINGTON--If a scarcity of vegetables as serious as that in meats is to be avoided Victory gardeners must enlarge their gar dens and plant late crops President Truman has issued three appeals in quick succession for more Victory gardens and caused the new post of director of home food supply to be created in the war food administration to emphasize the importance of Vic tory gardens Paul Stark who was appoint ed to this post has just returned from a series of meetings in Chi cago Omaha Minneapolis and New York City in which Victory garden Nvorkers were informed of the threatening outlook Heavy reductions in the acreage of market vegetables are reported from most sections while unfavorable weather has already caused severe damage to growing vegetables and fruits and delayed the planting of canning crops which is sure to affect the yield Civilian Supplies Cut Even with a normal crop Ernest Moore manager of the department of agriculture Victory Garden campaign told the conferences the allotment of commercial canned goods for civilian use next winter will be reduced over all by 25 per cent while the reduction in the case of beans and tomatoes will be one-half Those familiar with present blue point values will understand what that means Nutritionists estimate that only one-tenth the vegetables required for normal nutrition can be

Victory Garden vegetables includesii getting water to where it will do thE plants good and (2) keeping i there until the plants can make good use of it A good many gardeners we not as successful as they might be on this double job says Victory Garden Headquarters at the Department of Agriculture hich offers some pointers Many city and small town gard- I eners have advantage in being able to use the flowing hose in watering but many fail to make 1 the best use of this supply In getting water into the soil the gardener who has turned under plenty of organic marurc compost or gram cover I a
