1 p. m.

As far as can be determined now by the Indiana OPA rationing division, application forms for canning sugar will not be available until April 15. When the forms are availalble, they may be obtained iiy applicants from their local war price and rationing boards. After getting a form from hie local war price and rationing board, the applicant should fill it out carefully, according to instructions, and mail it Ibaok to the board.. The board will then maiil to him his certificate for the purchase of canning sugar. Hinder the regulations board clerks cannot issue canning sugar. Applications must be passed on by board members. So, by mailing in their applicatons, applicant will be helping the boards to handle the applications more rapidly and thus will (be assured of getting their sugar certificates more promptly. "The government is trying to give consumers what they actually need,” said James D. Strickland, Indiana OPA district director. "Sugar is vital to the war effort, and availalble supplies are limited. It is the patriotic duty of every applicant to apply for only minimum needs for canning.” An application for a family unit should be made on a single application form, OiPA said. A family unit consists of all persons related by blood, marriage or adoption who regularly reside in the same household. A person who lives alone or with persons who are not related to him by blood, marriage or adoption constitutes his own family unit of one. The application form is OPA Form R-34i1. The applicant shall give the information required by this form and shall attach a spare stamp 13 from war ration book four for each member of the family unit covered by the application. An applicant may obtain sugar for home canning of fresh fruits in an amount not to exceed one pound per four quarts of finished canned fruits. A total of five pounds for each member of the family unit may ibe Obtained for making jams, jellies, marmalade and fruit butters from fruits for canning vegetables, making products such as pickles, relishes, catsup, mince meat and for curing meat, the total amount of sugar to be granted to each member of a family unit through Oct. 31, ’45, shall not exceed 20 pounds. However, a family unit consisting of more than eight persons may not receive a total allotment of more than 1W pounds, only 40 of which may be for jams, jellies, marmalades, etc. Any local board may require from an applicant information in addition to what is included in the application form. And the applicant must state that he has fruit availalble to use the sugar for (which-he is applying. , ■We must be very sure thia year,” said a statement from OPA, “that canning sugar is used for canning and nothing else." 1

Timing is Vital in Growing Fine Beans All Summer 1 Saw’s■- u Tw.*, V " 1 UM Wax Beans Arc Considered by Many io Be Tenderesi of AIL

Beans, one of the Victory gar-: den’s most important crops, should not be planted until the ground is warm. They are very tender to frost or to cold cutting winds in their younger stages. Gardens with light, warm, sandy soil can get an earlier bean start than those with heavy colder soil. The first crop, in which we take a gamble with the weather, should be given the warmest, mellowest, and best drained patch in the garden. Later on when the frost danger is past it will make little difference, as the bean is the most obliging of vegetables and will even produce a fair crop in positions much more shaded than some other vegetables will tolerate. The choice of varieties is first of all whether you want to grow green beans or wax beans. Both have their advocates as to superiority of flavor. Then you may choose whether you want a round podded or a flat podded bean. Round pods are thicker and filled with flesh and have higher table quality, but the flat pods yield a larger crop. There are numerous excellent varieties from which to choose and »lmost any sort offered by a relia-

ble seed house will give excellent results. The one warning concerning their cultivation is not to work the patch while the leaves of the beans are wet, either with dew or from rain. Rust seems to follow. A rust spotted pod ruins it for culinary use and this is about the only disaster likely to happen to a pod bean. Pole beans are the heaviest yielders of the family, and in the small garden will give more food for the space occupied than any other crop. They are later in season and more tender than bush beans. They should not be planted until the weather is settled and the ground warm. Plant six to eight seeds in a hill, and thin out to the four strongest. The h’Us should be two feet apart. The secret of quality and abundant yield in pole beans is to pick them before they form seeds and keep the vines picked clean. Kentucky Wonder is a favorite pole variety. It will produce pods ten inches long, if you wish, but these pods will have strings. If they are picked half grown the strings will not bother aud the quality will ba much better. , ■
