Beans and Tomatoes Are Top Choices In Drive for More Vegetable Plots YOUR GUESS is as good as anybody's about the

duration of the “police action” in Korea.

But it would

seem that the wise owner of any backyard will plant at least a half-dozen tomato plants this summer where none grew

before. Washington's efforts “Police Action Gardens.” {s encouraging a country-wide

are half-hearted on the subject of But the National Men’s Garden Club

bean and tomato effort. And

some of our big cities are putting on city-wide drives for vegetable

gardens this summer.

As Harlan Fulmer explained it before he left the county agent's office to return to ‘service, “When over 3 million people

leave civilian

life for the armed services, just the matter of

transportation will affect vegetable supplies.” Add too high prices. Altogether it won't hurt to sharpen up

that hoe and spade. The vegeables on your pantry shelves or in your freezer, come winter, won't demand any ration stamps or cash. ~ = 5 MRS. G. R. POUNDS, 4935 SN. State St., sends in a tip for all owners of the old-fashioned snowball that unfortunately is as much liked by aphids as by people. A dormant spray of Krenite or Elgetol (or other suitable dinitro compounds) will Kill aphid eggs before they hatch into the pests that curl the snowball's leaves and turn them an unhealthy yellow, Of course, if you're planning to, plant a snowball bush it would be easier to choose a newer variety such as viburnun tomentosum. It's not likely to harbor aphide. = = = NAMES added recently to the African violet round robin sponsored by the garden column include Mrs. Glen Casida, Cloverdale; Mrs. George Hardy Sr. Knightstown; Mrs. H.

Result — he turned it into a “tame swamp,” collects plants for it. Among them—a cypress from Arkansas, a wild blueberry from Michigan.

Seed Tossed About Grows

By MARGUERITE SMITH Times Garden Editor

IT WON'T be too long to roasting-ear time «for the George Thomases, 7948 Allisonville Rd., if Mr. Thomas decides to set out his corn seedlings come warm weather. As a matter of strict accuracy, he just tossed the corn into a seed bed to see If it would grow. (Note—it did.) For he’s much more concerned with the fate of some of his many other seedlings. They're zooming along in the handy little greenhouse at the rear of the Thomas home. Among them are some of the zinnias that Mr. Thomas takes special pride In raising to prodigious sizes of both plant and flower.

Success Secrets

SECRETS of success, he says, if you want super deluxe zinnias are these: (1) Give the
