Sweater-Gir Reprieve

VICTORY GARDENER'S WEEKLY ALMANAC

. By A. A. IRWIN

- “I have canned over 200 quarts of vegetables from my victory garden.” “We have canned nearly 400 cans of vegetables from our garden.” “I feel better since I started working in the garden.” “From our garden we have had all the fresh vegetables we wanted to eat’— * are the kind of statements we hear every day now. ‘That's the result ‘of the first year’s all ‘out victory garden program.

One of the major problems in

growing a fall vegetable garden is getting the young seedlings started and keep them growing well. ‘Hot, dry weather is adverse growing conditions for most young plants. If you can keep these fall crops growing nicely for the next two or three weeks, they will take very little care then and will yield high - quality vegetables for eating fresh or for storing.

The fall vegetable crops should be watered frequently during dry weather. If the water can be applied in a fine spray, rather than a large stream from the garden hose, it will not pack the soil nearly as much. After each watering the soil should be given a shallow cultivation gs soon as it is dry enough to wong, .

There are good prospects for a good sweet potato crop in many of the victory gardens. Many ,: Besple have Been wanting to know 4f they should prune back the -- yigorous growing: sweet potato . plants, Cutting off the vines will reduce the yield and they should be permitted to grow until late

Sweet potatoes should be handled with extra care when harvested, If possible, dig on a warm, clear day when the ground is dry.

After, digging, cure them well by drying in shallow trays for ten days at 85 PF. Stored in a dry place they should keep 6 to 8 months,

Immediately after thrashing the dry beans from the pods and separating them from the shells and stalks, place them in an airtight container and treat for the bean weevil.

- Your Health in Wartim , First Aid for Fractures Should Relieve. Patient

By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS Times Special Writer

The primary care of a fracture 1s nearly always given by a layman. .

Alhough the layman need not worry about the diagnosis of a fracture,

‘he should recognize the possibility when an accident has taken place. Although the symptoms of a fracture vary wildy with she type

on the hand or- foot. : This pull serves to splint the bone, and prevent more damage, and: at the same time relieves the pain. : It would be desirable if such a pull could be continued until the hospital is reached. Such a procedure ‘is rarely practical, and with a splint which satisfactorily immobilizes the fragments by extending the entire length of the extremity, it is not necessary.

Applying First Aid

If an appropriate splint is not

available, it is better to wait until one can be secured than attempt to rush the injured person to the hospital, When the spine is inJured, the whole body should be splinted on a rigid stretcher or wide board. Skull fractures are protected by the fact that the

after the appropriate first aid is administered. . :
