WAR GARDENS.

War gardens as a whole including
home. children's and community gar
dens, were more numerous and far
more productive this year than last
according to the Department of Agri-
culture. This is the consensus OF opin-
ion Of those who have been working
on the garden problem and Is based
on specific reports of the Department.
agents and upon the observations OF
Its specialists throughout the country
Estimates OF the number Of gardens
vary and there are no figures other
than conjectures. Department garden
specialists say that an estimate OF
100000 home gardens is conserva-
tive, but admit that this figure repre-
sents only a good guess.
1t must not be supposed, either, that
city man and suburbanite constituted
the only classes that needed admoni-
ton to start gardens and the only
ones that needed the admonltion. The
county agent of Oswego county, y. Y,
maintains that the majority of the
farmers in his county have not had
gardens and that much of the effor;
toward more and better home gardens
should be expended on the farmer
rather than on the city man.
These facts are significant as show
ing tendency. and are an index OF
activities i'll every State of the Union.
The most hopeful aspect OF the garden
ing situation is that the home and
community garden has come to stay
and that those who have undertaken
the work as wartime r,aaeuro Will,
continue it after victory has been won
Their opinion is based upon the ad
vantages which gardeners have found
cheaper vegetables, better quality
and greater freshness. zest and health
fulness in gardening as a recreative
occupation and the growth of COM
munity spirit and action through a
common ground of interest.
War gardens next year will be vic
tory gardens.

WHAT ARE TAP R0OTSi

Asa Gray's description Of plant roots
Is that roots intended mainly for alb
sorbing, branch freely and are slender
or threadlike. When the root is prin-
cipally OF this character IL Is said to
be flbrous. as in corn and other grains
In biennial and many perennial
herbs the root answers an additional
purpose. In the course Of the season
It becomes a storehouse of nourish-
ment, and enlarges or thickens as 1t
receives the accumulation. Such roots
are said to be fieshy and different
names are applied to them, according
to their shapes. They are divided into
two kinds: those consisting Of one
main root and those without any main
root.
The first are merely different shapes
OF the tap root. which is conical where
1t thickens most at the crown or
where 1t joins the stem, and tapers
regularly downward to a point as in
the beet, parsnip and carrot; turnip
shaped OF napiform. when greatly
thickened above, but abruptly be-
coming slender below, as the turnip;
spindle shaped or fusiform, when
thickest in the middle and tapering
to both ends, as in some OF the Ions
radishes and long beets.
In the second kind. where there is
no main root, the store of nourIshing
matter may be distributed throughout
the branches or clusters OF roots gen.
orally, or 1t may be accumulated in
some OF them. as in the tuberous roots
OF the sweet potato. peony and dahlia.
All but the last of these illustrations
are taken from biennial plants. These
grow with a large tuft of leaves next
the ground. and accumulate nourish-
ment all the first summer, storing It
up in their great root. which lives over
winter. Man and animals make use of
this store of food in the form OF
starch. sugar. jelly and the like. The
plant uses it for the new shoots Of
the second years growth to feed on
and to rapidly form branches, flower
stalks. blossoms, fruit and seed, and
having used 1t up the whole plant dies
when the seed has ripened.
Some plants like the sweet potato
and the dahlia store food produced by
the second years vegetation in new
roots. which live through the next
winter and sustain the third springs
growth and SO on; these plants being
perennial. or lasting year after year,
though each particular root lives little
more than one year.
These plants are the ones generally
referred to when speaking of plants
with tap roots. At the first lessons
In botany we are taught that the
simple or primary root. which most
plants send down from the root end
of the embryo. as it grows from the
seed. makes IL main or tap root from
which side branches here and there
proceed.
Some plants keep this main root
through their whole life and send off
only small side branches for many
years unless 1t is cut of or injured
Commonly the tap root divides Off
very soon and is lost in the root
branches.

terest your readers to know that the
natural law which your correspondent
discovered 10 her cost has avery great
bearing upon the proper growth and
development of many common garden
vegetables 1t is one OF the reasons for
much OF the poor luck" experienced
by amateur gardeners.
This law is very simple and easy tC
remember. In general, all vegetables
which are grown for their leaves OF
heads should have their tap roots
carefully removed, while all those
which produce root crops should be
permitted to retain their tap roots.
The reason for this appears to be
that a tap root is really not only a
root but a portion OF the stem Of the
plant itself growing below the ground
II such n vegetable makes equal
growth above and below ground

ciently to be OF much value for table
use.
In plants which head up. such as
lettuce. cabbage, spinach and celery
II is desirable to produce as large and
heavy a top growth as possible. II the
tap root is left on these plants the
root gradually thickens and extends,
penetrating deeply into the ground. 1t
appropriates to itself all the nourish
ment and deprives the head or leaves
OF sustenance, also 1t prevents the for
nation of the mass of small rootlets
nearer the surface OF the ground
which forage for and assimilate plant
food from that part OF the soil where
1t is most abundant, Cpt of this tap
root and Immediately the plant throws
out hundreds OF fine little rootlets, each
Of which works to supply the head
with food. The result is that the head
receives all the nourishment and de-
ve!ops accordingly.
On the other hand, the edible part
OF such plants as carrots, beets. par
ships. &c. is the tap root itself. There
fore 1t is necessary to operate with
this in view and stimulate the develop
ment of that portion OF the stem below
the ground. In transplanting such
vegetables great care must be taken
not to inJure the extreme tip OF the
delicate tap root. for II this is once
broken its growth stops. Then imme-
diately there forms a cluster of small
rootlets. very desirable in the case OF
celery, but absolutely worthless for the
production OF beet. For this reason Il

tremely sensitive and the slightest
touch or exposure apparently destroys

To THE EDITOR GARDEN DEPART MEST

The Tap Root" in your issue OF the
Sth Inst. Should be answered.

plants are benefited by transplant

root in the transplanting. This ap-

before sowing to secure good roots.

| now as much entitled to a reasonable
financial reward as are manufacturers
and laborers. D
Existing conditions the world over
now promise to bring them this hon
estly earned reward Unless the mar
ket is unfairly manipulated by great
business interests or rules OF the Gov
eminent interfere prices Of poultry
products promise to remain much
higher than the average for some
time to come. During such time
the efficient poultry keeper should and
can make satisfactory profits. And
logically we may expect to see large
numbers OF people make the attempt.
Briefly, the conditions now causing
high prices of poultry products are
rs follows:
More than a year ago poultrymen
began to sell off or cut down their
Hooks because Of high prices Of feed
and shortage Of labor. In many sec
| tions the poultry population was re-
duced by half This movement con-
tinued for many months, especially
! throughout the Eastern States. In
Texas a drought created a most un-
favorable condition as regards feed,
and II Is reported that several millions
OF hens were sent to the block in this
one State. Last spring the chicken
crop throughout the country was
much below an average one, primarily
due to the feed and labor situation
and uncertainty as to the future.
| Last fall IL was found that the num-
Der OF eggs in cold storage was much
! less than the preceding season, while
the supply of poultry was only about
half as large. Thus there was not the
| usual reserve supply and current re-
celpts OF fresh stock were also smaller
than usual. Apparently the demand
was stimulated by the fact that our
population was unusually prosperous
and bought literally Of foods formerly
classed as luxuries. Then came the
| influenza epidemic and eggs and poul-
try were used in great quantities to
feed the sick. Consequently an acute
shortage developed and there seems
little prospect of relief until the spring
| flood Of eggs begins to pour in. This,
in turn, promises to be smaller than
in former years, and the comparative
scarcity should again mean high prices
to the producer.
| Another element enters into the
situation. Europe, not only the allied
nations but the Central Empires as
well, must look to America for
urgently needed supplies of meat
foods. The United States Food Ad-
ministration reports an alarming
shortage OF meat animals in Europe,
and this condition cannot be entirely
overcome for some years. America
must supply these foods in great
quantities. We may export eggs and
poultry, which should bring satisfac-
tory returns, or we may send our beef.
pork and mutton, which will cause a
relative shortage of these meats and
create a greater demand for poultry
products for home consumption.
Either way, poultry products should
sell at good figures for some time to
come.
Naturally, too, production costs
should decrease. The release of mill

THE OUTLOOK IN THE POULTRY

Association.

President Pennsylvania State Poultry
Association.
During more than twenty years of
active connection with the poultry in
dustry | have never before seen gen
eral conditions as favorable for the
development OF great poultry
boom" From present indications one
may feel safe in predicting at least
two or three years of most unusual
activity in poultry circles. Whether
the usual reaction will follow or the
industry DO put upon such a SOLID
basis that it will steadily expand de-
nends upon many things. The imme-
diato future at least is rosy.
1t Ia history that period of short
age OF poultry products with consc-
quent strong demand and high prices
is always followed by an epidemic Of
the hen fever" The reason for this
is not hard TO find. Poultry gives
quick action" From egg TO broiler

egg to egg, Matching TO laying matur-
ity. Is but a few months. Poultry

back yard or on the farm
So 1t naturally follows that when re-
tail prices of poultry products soar
consumers become producers on the
assumption that they can grow needed
eggs and table poultry for less than
they must pay for them on the open
market And commercial producers
redouble their efforts in order to mako
more money. This is merely the re
Spouse to the action of economic laws
During recent months prices of all
kinds of poultry products have
reached new high levels. The Consum-
ing public has naturally voiced disap-
prevail OF the tactics OF the grasping
farmers" Such criticism is not on
urely just. In fact il is essentially un-
fair and is in large measure due to
lack or knowledge regarding existing
conditions. Production costs, as labor
and feed. are extremely high. In re-
lation TO these poultry products are
no higher than in normal times.
Further, during the last year or two
