write in generalities instead of prescrib ing exactly the cure In order that I might do this in a more orderly manner I have chosen to attack it first from the fruit growers and second from the vegetable garden ers standpoint what I have seen and can learn the principle insect damage to fruit is caused by the codling moth worm the caterpillar the aphid and the red spider Of these four insects the latter three pre dominantly attack the foliage while the codling moth injures the fruit directly by laying an egg which hatches into a worm and as a result we have the wormy apple Control

your own? It's just as easy as that There are many delightful teas that you can raise as easy as growing rad ishes and not only are they a pleasure to the palate but they are actually good for you and if 'you grow them in any quantity they are very nice to try and pre sent to your less herb minded friends One of the very nicest is lemon balm or melissa It is a perennial and hardy in Nevada The leaves have a delicious lemony odor and make a fragrant tea Nevada host esses could score a hit if they served lemon balm tea with sponge cake jngel food or sugar cookies A favorite mixture of my own is lemon balm and green tea in equal parts with a pinch of ground gin ger added Peppermint (and I mean spearmint which grows so com monly around Reno) strengthens and refreshes the digestive organs and is very beneficial to the nerv ous system and heart It is a very pleasant tea and one of the prime ministers of England used to drink it morning for breakfast Chamomile is also good for the nerves and a tonic

fact that food is an important part of the war pro gram We know the armed forces must be fed as well as our allies and the families on the home front Our government is making a conscientious effort to see that the food we have Is equally di vided With rationing of canned foods we have had to revise our way of planning meals In many cases the protective foods (such as vitamins and minerals) are not givefl suf ficient consideration planning and in securing the food Though a good home garden it is possible to make provision for the family to have an adequate supply of vitamins and minerals all sum mer With good planning and a little extra expenditure of time and energy the foods from the victory or home garden can be processed and stored for use during the win ter and spring months of the fol lowing year At the present time a good vic tory garden course is being given at the high school so not tell you when and how to plant The important fact is to have a victory garden if you have access to a sunny plot where the soil is reas onably good and you have time to devote four or five hours a week to gardening Taking it for granted that there will be many gardens in Reno this year the important item is to see that all the food is used to good advantage We do not know at the present time whether we will be able to secure from our neigh boring states fresh fruits and veg etables to meet our needs With the cost of vegetables so high it prohibits some families from buy ing these protective foods It seems imperative that we take measures now to see that the peo ple in this community make pro visions for feeding their families during the months ahead Your school board and school ad ministrators are ready to help the people in this community preserve and conserve the foods that will be grown in victory gardens Mr Vaughn and Mrs Gulling have asked me to explain this proposed program to you If there is sufficient interest the homemaking departments in one or two of your schools will be kept open during the summer months to serve as community canneries or food preservation centers The reason for this would be: 1 To provide more food for bet ter nutrition 2 To make the equipment avail able for those not able to own or get it 3 To provide an opportunity for less experienced persons to do their food processing under guidance The size or number of centers for Reno would depend upon 1 The number of people desir ing to use the facilities and' 2 The amount of food to be pre served Mrs Corica chief of block lead ers Ray Marks and Hugh Sham berger state director of civilian de fense have advised me that the council of defense and block lead ers will be glad to assist in deter mining the need and interest in es tablishing food preservation cen ters in Reno by making a survey Providing enough people want a food preservation center it might be set up as follows: The home economics department will open with: 1 Home economics teacher in charge 2 acilities available to people in community 3 Short unit of instruction would be given to help women de termine how much to can to keep family diets up to meet yardstick levels and how to can acid and non acid fruits and vegetables so members would have clear under standing of methods and tech niques Ways of preserving foods by dehydrating would also be dis cussed and demonstrated 4 Policies of the

through sale of Government securities A substantial part of this huge financing the most stu pendous ever undertaken by any government in the history must be loaned by people in ordinary walks of life High Government officials pointed out that the nation must not fail in this duty to our men on the battle fronts who are now carrying the offensive to the enemy at every stage It is obvious to every thinking man and woman that as the United Nations take this offensive against the dictators the cost of war opera tions increases in proportion The American people must no longer think of war costs in terms of equipping a soldier building a tank or plane or a ship We must now think in terms of the cost of bat tles invasions and new offensives Attacking armies cost more money than equipping that army and we must meet that increased cost by buying more War Bonds and Second War Loan Securities 1 They Give Their Lives It is not only necessary that the American people left here at home assume this additional participation in the war effort it is an honor to do so for we here at home can do no less than attempt to approach the sacrifices of our brave men out on the fighting fronts to whom the last great measure of sacrifice is but a daily offering They give their lives we are esked only to lend our money And that is the theme of the Sec ond War Loan Give Their Lives You Lend Your

a recent announcement The garden which Is to cover thirty acres will be on the Univer sity farm on the Carson highway south of Reno The land has been sub leased by the church and the gardening program is to be car ried on on a cooperative basis The plowing of the garden is al ready completed and the wards of the Sparks and Reno churches are now plotting out the land On ly those crops requiring big plots will be raised The varieties are ex pected to include potatoes beans com and peas and probably some other vegetables At harvest time according to the plans a small part of the crop will be turned over to the general welfare program of the church some will be kept for seed and the rest will be allocated by the wards of the two churches to the members of the church on a basis of the amount of work done or the amount of cash contributed to the garden project The cash con tributed and the contributed labor is to be kept track of on a basis of man hours Equipment for working the thir ty acres is furnished by the leasers and by the church members and director of the operations will be Earl Hanson of Reno Hea ton also of Reno will have general supervision of all the projects of
