VICTORY GARDENER'S WEEKLY ALMANAC

‘| slaying of his wife, Marty, last Oct.

‘lof a motion for a new trial.

A. A. IRWIN Being a victory gardener, you are a part of the nation’s great wartime factory that will produce over 10 million tons of vegetables. This is the latest estimate on the victory garden production this year. The vegetables from the 20 million or more victory gardens play an even greater role in our war food program, when we learn that today’s production of commercial truck crops is estimated to be 13 per sen} below

last year’s production.

After a near potato famine this spring, it is very gratifying to see such .fine early potatoes in the victory gardens. Irish potatoes are not mature until the vines cease growing. They are frequently dug and used at this time of year while the vines are still green; however, this practice will reduce the possible yield.

The gardener will have much more competition from insects and ' diseases on his late potato crop. Seed was very high and we will need every pound of this great staple vegetable we can produce. Starting: when the plants are eight inches high, spray the plants with freshly made Bordeaux spray or dust with an ar-senical-copper dust weekly.

_ “Victory garden pest No. 1” is attacking beans in gardens all over the county now. Look on the underneath side of the bean leaves at least once a day for Mexican bean beetles. These insects grow from spiny, yellow larvae to yellow or copper colored beetles, with black spots on their wing covers.

Dusting is the best method of control, but is of no value unless the material is applied to the undersides of the leaves where the insects feed. A ready prepared dust mixture containing rotenone or a combination rotenone and sulphur is recommended. Calcium arsenate or cryolite may be used: however, these two insecticides are very poisonous.

Many gardeners wonder whether to cultivate their gardens during hot weather. Cultivation is for the control of weeds and to retard evaporation by maintaining a loose, dust mulch on the surface. The garden should be cultivated two or three days after each rain or sprinkling.

Whether you use a garden cultivator or a hoe, have them sharp and then cultivate shallow. Taking a half-inch slice on the surface of the soil is deep enough to kill weeds and will leave a good mulch on top.

“The early set tomatoes will respond to another application of the victory garden fertilizer at this time. Punch three holes four inches deep and four inches away from each tomato plant, then place one teaspoonful of the fertilizer in each hole,

Mulching with straw or grass clippings around the tomato plants will help conserve moisture and control blossom-end rot. The curling-up of the vigorous growing tomato plants during the heat of the day is the plants’ method of slowing down evaporation. of moisture.

FE SENTEN

Convicted Nua Hears Pronouncement of

Court in Silence.

Bernard L. White was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in the Michigan City state prison by Special Judge Edwin McClure in criminal court today. White was convicted last Friday night. of first degree murder in the

2 following a complication of romances. : Before passing sentence, Jidge McClure overruled a motion filed by defense attorneys to postpone the sentence pending preparation

Nothing to Say

“I have the unpleasant duty to impose a life sentence upon you as recommended by a jury,” Judge McClure - said to White who was standing before the bench with his head bowed low. "“Have you anything to say?” the judge asked him. “I have nothing to say,” White, Prosecutor Sherwood Blue then informed the court that he heard that White did have something to tell the judge. When asked the second time if he had anything to say, White shook his head negatively, looking at the floor. Deputy sheriffs clamped handcuffs over White's wrists and led him from the courtroom, followed by several of his relatives, some of whom were in tears. White will have to spend 20 years in prison before he will be eligible for a parole hearing. As an aftermath of the trial, which required a total of more than seven weeks, the grand jury today began an investigation of the possibility of perjury in some of the testimony given by Glenn H. Elfis, former fellow employee of White at the Allison plant. Subsequent testimony refuted most of Ellis’ story.

A canning budget prepared at the beginning of the season will indicate what quantities of different canned foods are needed by the family. In making such a budget consider the number of persons in the family, the length of time that fresh foods are out of season, and what foods are available for canning, as well as the .cost of equipment and containers and the value of the time of the persons doing the work. Information: useful in planning 4' canning budget suitable to the locality and adapted to the nutritional requirements of the family may be obtained from Purdue's agriculture department or from the U. 8. department of agriculture, ‘Washington, D.C. In planning a budget, remember that a pint of canned food will make three to five servings. - So,

Pin Jars Recommended. For the Smallér Families

for small families, a better distribution of canned foods for variety in meals can be obtained if pint Jars or No. 2 cans are used for most foods. However, if it is difficult to obtain the smaller jars or cans it is necessary that the homemaker plan the use of ‘food canned in larger containers so there will be no food waste. ; After the canning for the day is done, wipe the containers clean and label with the name, the date and the lot number if more than one lot was canned on that day. Glass jars may be labeled with a grease crayon that tes on glass, or with gummed labels. Hold the canned products at room temperature for a week or 10 days where they can be examined from time to time to be sure they are keeping. If any show signs of spoilage, examine all of that lot carefully. Store canned foods in a cool, dry place and protect glass jars from the light so that the food will not fade in color. The quality is generally better if they are used within the first year after canning.

DEWEY STILL IN 1944 PICTURE

Counted as Presidential Possibility Despite Disclaimers.

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 28.—Despite disclaimers from his Albany office, Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York is being counted today as among the foremost possibilities ‘ for the 1944 Republican presidential nomination.

Republican politicians generally are thinking of 1944 in terms of only three or four men—Dewey, Wendell L. Willkie, Governor John W. Bricker of Ohio and Gen. Douglas MacArthur. The MacArthur boom does not amount to much, but some of the capital’s smartest political strategists, including Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg (R. Mich.), believe the Republicans could win with him, Bricker is in the least advantageous position, although there would be ambple time in the next 12 months for a campaign build-up that would put him substantially

FARM SUBSIDY

0’Mahoney Wants Congress To Compromise With FDR, Keep CCC.

WASHINGTON, June 28 (U. P.). —Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.), today urged congress to compromise with President Roosevelt on the subsidy-rollback issue to prevent the possible abolition of the Commodity ‘Credit Corp. He suggested that senate and house conferees work out a plan authorizing direct subsidy payments to farmers instead of processors for keeping down the cost of living. He predicted that unless such a compromise is reached, the CCC, with its many peacetime as well as wartime functions, is doomed. The CCC expires Wednesday midnight unless extended by congress. Both the senate and house have approved legislation to extend its life and to increase its borrowing power. But both the senate and house also have added amendments specifically banning the present subsidy-rollback program of the OPA with which CCC has nothing to do. President Roosevelt is expected to veto such a bill, altHough the tem* per of congress is such that it might override him as it did on the antistrike bill, . The senate handed the administration its second major defeat in two days Saturday by amending the CCC extension bill to bar further subsidy payments for reducing retail food prices unless specifically authorized by congress.

Vaccination One of Best Weapons Against Typhoie

By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS

Shortage of doctors and the necessity of keeping civilian he standards high makes preventative measures against diseases ¢

important. guard against wartime epidemics.

Vaccination against typhoid is one of the best wa

The recent floods throughout large areas of the country e the danger of typhoid fever to the civilian population.

The armed forces stationed in these flood areas have been proceeded by typhoid vaccine, bu the usual sanitation of water, milk, and food sup- j plies have so reduced the danger in civil life that many have not felt this ex- : cellent precaution necessary or have neglected to maintain their resistance : by repeated vac- Dr. Masters cination. The usual protection of the water, milk and food supplies is broken down in the presence of flood conditions, when water sources may be contaminated with the typhoid bacillus, for in floods, pumping stations are inundated, filtering plants are contaminated, and impure water may be used to clean milk pails and food.

Disease Shows Decrease

In 1900, typhoid fever struck about 35 persons in each 100,000 of the population. In 1940, there were only 9058 cases in the whole United States. This marked improvement followed the development of knowledge regarding the methods of transmission of the disease and the exercise of great care in the protection of water supplies, the pasteurization of milk and improved sanitation of foods. .

From this greatly reduced number of cases, however, epidemics can and will develop from interruptions in the sanitary technique, unless individual people are protected by vaccination.

Typhoid fever is an acute fection caused by a germ kn as the bacillus typhosus. germ can be recovered from blood and excretions of a pe seriously sick with the After the germs are taken the body, from 10 to. 14 elapse during which time germs multiply and give off poisons.

J The vaccine is made from kill d typhoid germs, and is given three injections at intervals one week. One complete vaccina= tion confers immunity that wil last at least two and often years.
