Victory Gardens It takes well-fed soil to make vegetables rich in food value, a<lvises County Agricultural Agent, H. J. Yarling. When garden soils lack the essential elements that are needed to produce quality products, a liberal application of manure or commercial fertilizer, or sometimes both, will supply this deficiency. . When manure is available, two to four wagon loads for every 10,000 square feet, applied a few weeks before plowing, will be sufficient. Each load of manure may be supplemented by adding a fertilizer such as an 0-12-12 at the rate of 30 to 50 pounds per load of manure. If manure is not available, 400 pounds of the “victory garden fertilizer”, 4-12-4, or the same amount of either 8-8-8 or 10-6-4 fertilizer may be broadcast over his same area before turning under. Additional fertilizer is recommended at planting time. It may be applied in bands about two inches on either side of the row and at the same level or slightly below the seed. Neither the seed nor the roots of transplants should come m di rect contact with the fertilizer. The victory garden fertilizer containing four per cent nitrogen 12 per cent phosphorus, and four per cent potash, known as a 4-12-4 is a good one to use at planting time. One handful of fertilizer, or about one-fifth of a pound, is sufficient for 10 feet of row. When garden soils are adequately supplied with plant foods, the vege tables are richer in minerals, vitamins, and calories than are those that have not been well-fed through the soil.

For many years the almanac and the signs of the zodiac or moon have been used as guides to what and when to plant garden crops, advises the Hendricks County Agricultural Agents office. The commercial grower who plants large acreages of vegetable crops, such as potatoes may be planting for several weeks,

regardless of the signs. He knows it is the seed, the soil, the kind and cmount of fertilizer, and the ensuing climatic and cultural conditions that produce large yields. Some victory gardeners may plant too early or too late, although it is “in the sign.” They often harvest disappointing yields. New gardeners are urged to follow the fundamentals of good gardening. One of these is to plant only when conditions appear favorable. Another is to follow a recommended planting guide suitable for the locality. Experimental evidence does not show that the phases of the moon or the zodiac influence production. Night is the time when most thieves work, and the cutworm is no exception, says County Agricultural Agent, H. J. Yarling. He lies hidden in the soil during the day and comes out at night to feed on tomato, cabbage, and other garden plants. This pest is one of the first of the season to attack victory gardens. An easy way to prevent damage tc trasplanted crops, such as tomatoes and cabbage, is to place paper collars around the stems as the plants are set in the soil. Several thicknesses of newspaper will do the trick. The collars should extend cne inch above and one inch below

The Sign Of POLK’S

Last year you were a greenhorn, a rookie. You planted all your bush beans over one weekend and had so many at once you had to give ’em away. You figured Swiss chard runas many rows to a yard as onions. Maybe you put your tomatoes in too late to ripen. Well—that was LAST year! This year you’re an old hand you’ve learned the hard way—and you’re all set to raise the best Victory Garden in town! This year you know how to avoid the pitfalls—how to make your garden a top producer in food, fun and satisfaction. Yes, sir—this year YOU can take those prizes at the Garden Show! The U. S. Government says that home-grown food will be more important than ever this season; national crop conditions are uncertain; droughts may occur. Every community should try to become largely self-sustaining. Don’t YOU take a chance on running short of vitamins and health this year. Do your part to help America raise more food to supply our growing forces overseas. Get started now on your 1944 Victory Garden.

the soil surface. For larger gardens, the best way to destroy cutworms is by the use of poisoned bran bait. This bait may be prepared at home by mixing a teaspoon of paris green with two quarts of bran. This then is moistened with about three cupfuls of water to which a half teacupful of molasses has been added. This formula will treat an ordinary sized garden. The bait should be scattered by hand, just before dark. Cutworms are found most often in soil which was a grass sod the previous year. i ’■ The season’s first crop for eating or canning is one that requires no planting, no hoeing, no weeding. In fact, it’s the weeds themselves young, succulent, the tender green leaves filled with vitamins and minerals, says Mrs. Pauline Helton, Hendricks County War Food Assistant. ° ■ r Many families even prefer the tender young wild greens that grow in yard, field or fence row to the cultivated varieties that appear later. Best known of wild greens is the dandelion, which —like cress and shepherd’s purse-—appears very early in the season. A bit later the crop of edible wild greens includes red sorrel, curled dock, white top,

peppergrass poke weed, pursland, chickweed, mustard, pigweed, lambs quartier, wild lettuce, and wild radish. Another weed—milkweed sprouts—may be cooked and served like asparagus. The one early green that must not be eaten is the rhubarb leaf, for it may cause illness or even death. Wild greens should be used as food while very young and tenderctherwise, the leaves become fibrous and bitter. Each green may be used separately or in combination with others. They may be used raw in salads, as cooked greens, or for canning. For any use they should be washed thoroughly, by lifting the leaves through several pans of water. The cnly liquid needed for cooking them is that which sticks to the leaves when they are washed. Cooking takes only 5 to 10 minutes in a tightly covered container.
