T0 PEACE AIMS

Long- Range. Program in East Side Talk.

By VIRGINIA HATFIELD “We have become industrial minded and we must now become agricultural minded to meet the food crisis,” Arthur C. Hoffman, head of the agricultural department lat Technical high school, told East side victory gardeners at a mass meeting in Howe high school last night. Mr. Hoffman urged creation of a long-range home gardening pro-| gram, to be in effect for at least the next three years. He pointed out that the food shortage would be even greater next year than it is now and that gardens to produce food to’ the peace were a necessity. = Every. inch of available space should be utilized by gardeners, he

said. > Cites Government Needs

Citing the need for civilian gardens, Mr. Hoffman said that the government plans to take 50 per cent of all farm produce, 42 per cent of all frozen wegetables and four times as much dehydrated food as it took last year for the army and the allies. In the government's stepped-up

civilians are asked to grow 35 per cent more carrots, 22 per cent more spinach and kale, 17 per cent more beans; 15 per cent more peas and tomatoes; 12 per cent more corn and 8 per cent more cabbage. They are asked not to grow melons, celery; cucumbers or too much lettuce, Mr. Hoffman urged gardeners to get seeds as soon as possible and to figure their needs carefully to avoid waste. For small gardens in smoky, congested areas, he recommended. plantings of carrots, turnips, beets, Swiss chard, lettuce, radishes and spring onions from sets. In residential districts with more land, he added tomatoes, lima beans green beans, peas, cabbage, parsnips, peppers and spinach to the list.. In still larger gardens, outside of smoky districts, the list wds increased to include sweet corn, bush squash, cucumbers ‘and egg plant. Mr. Hoffman also outlined soil] preparation and the use of fertilizer and insecticides. Following his lecture, an open forum discussion was held. At the meeting East side lots were assigned to applicants for vietory garden use and community projects were outlined. Mrs. C. D. Vawter, chairman of the Irvington Union of Clubs, presided.

Landis Asks All Plant Gardens|

WASHINGTON, March 4 (U. P.).—Director of Civilian Defense James M. Landis today urged “every man, woman and child who can work with a spade” to plant victory gardens as a practical defense against food shortage. He said that guidance in planning, planting and caring for such gardens should be -provided by local defense councils.

Plant: Peas in Early Spring

Their Growth

nine vegetables ‘easily

grown in Marion county. It is suggested that you clip and save each

installment for future use,

Peas are a cold weather crop. They should be planted as soon asl

the ground can be worked in early spring and cultivated extensively to

assure rapid growth.

The seed will not germinate if the weather is extremely cold, thus

affording its own protection. The plants will burn up if hot reason peas are never a sure crop. Early hot spells and loag, dry, extremely hot summers usually ruin the crop or reduce the yield greatly. There are many varieties of peas. Pods range from two to five inches in ‘length and the fruit, from the baby pea to the giant size. The smooth type, such as Alaska is ‘hardier and should be planted first. Wrinkled or sweet type peas should be planted about 10 days later.

Can Large Variety For home canning, the large sweet varieties are best. These include the Marvel and the Laxtonian. The dwarf telephone types such as Alderman and Carters are late maturing and do not require a trellis, Though not so commonly used, the edible podded varieties. are tasty and might well be included in the home garden. Examples of this type are the Mammoth, and Tall Melting sugar peas. There are many differences of opinion about the planting of this crop. The two plans given here permit the plants fo intertwine, affording maximum protection and coolness for the vines.

Trouble for Ga In Shortage

Silent green soldiers of the home front vegetable gardens will be handicapped this year in the an=nual battle against deadly enemies —the insects. Bug ammunition is running low and insects already are preparing to ravage the nation's victory vegetable army. Beetles, maggots, ‘weevils and all the insect pests that spell defeat for the garden are marshalling their forces. Their march is scheduled to begin at the first sign of green food. This year’s campaign promises to be one of the most profitable yet for insectdom and means trouble for all commercial growers and victory gardeners. A hint of the future battle was iit recently by the department of agriculture’s announcement that the insecticide shortage is upon us.

Comes From Malay The insecticide shortage results

most important bases have been diverted to other war uses and the importation of ingredients has been cut off from such sources as the Malay peninsula, It comes at a time when the department of agriculture is encouraging stepped up food production, a development that will increase the demand for bug killers. Results of the disproportionate ratio of in« secticides to increased production will not be known’ until harvesting season, according to farm experts. The shortage of rotenone insecticides is most serious. This insecticide is a deadly.poison to insects, but ‘harmless to humans and live stock. The supply, derived chiefly from roots of various plants in the Malay peninsula, has been decreased 50 per cent this year, Rotenone Uses

In the past, rotenone has been used on peas, beans, sweet corn, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kohirabi, mustard, kale, tur nips, collards, cabbage, squash and cucumbers. This year it will be sold for the following limited and specific uses: 1. On peas against pea weevil and pea aphid.

to plan so that two to four ar more rows will run parallel to each other. Never plant thinly in one long row. Plan 2: Sow seed evenly (not thickly) over flat surface of a prepared trench six inches wide. Cover with one inch of soil. These trenches should be at least 18 to 24 inches apart. For this type of planting one pound of seed will sow a 25-foot row. Both of these plantings permit the vines to form a solid mat over the ground thus avoiding all need for cultivation after the plants are four inches high. Peas require from 50 to 60 days to reach maturity. One pound of seed will plant 100 feet of row except as specified above, and should yield one bushel of peas before shelling. Approximately five quarts of peas may be canned from one bushel of peas as harvested. For home canning purposes the gardener must depend on his spring crop, according to A. A. Irwin, assistant county agricultural agent. Late plantings of peas may be made: in August but the seed is slow to germinate and the stand of peas is light.

Succession planting of peas runs|

into trouble when the hot weather comes. Plinting both spring and fall crops is a better plan.

Rotenone buyers will be required to sign certificates stating the use, crops, pest and acreage, For plant uses other than those stated, the buyer must obtain permission from the WPB. Lack of funds is Bampering research for substitute insecticides, according to scientists from the department of agriculture bureau of

They express little hope that appropriations will be made for such work. To date, experiments to find substitutes have proved unsuccessful. A humber of poisons which would kill the pests would kill humans, too. Other ‘poisons might burn up the plants or react unfavorably in certain climates, scientists point out. : The foresight of individual gardeners in. planning for seeds, ferfilizers and insecticides will deter- ‘| mine the outcome of the 18 million victory gardens demanded by Secreary of sgriculture Claude Wickard, experts ‘say. During the ‘period between planting and harvesting, the battle against bugs will be in full swing.
