FOOD FOR FREEDOM"
Mr.. Backyard Gardener,
You Need More Than Enthusiasm

Growing q war garden Is pa
tri0tlo service - but IL must be
done efficiently, and not in the
helter-skelter, Over-zealous man
ner that, in World War /, did rs
much harm as good. For your
gardening guidance, NEA Service
and the waterbury Democrat, in
cooperation with the Department
Of Agriculture, have produced q
series Of IL articles containing ex-
pertly authoritative, straight
frOm-the-shOulder advice on both
individual and group gardens. The
article below Is the first Of the
series. .>
BY NEA Service
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
r. Wickard says that food will win
the war and write the peace, so
backyard gardeners Of every ham
let, village, ana farm, plus a good
many thousand rake and hoe WELD
ers in the bigger towns and cities
as well, are shouldering their gar
den implements and mapping spring
planting plans for 1912 war gar
den campaign.
But more than enthusiasm Is
needed to grow q successful home
garden. 1t takes gardening exper-
fence, fertile, well-drained soil, q
site we'll exposed to the suns
growth promoting rays, sufficient
rainfall or provisions for irriga-
ton, implements to prepare the
soil, plant the crops, and fight the
weeds And you need the right kind
of seed in amounts needed to meet
family requirements.
BAD GARDENS
ARE WASTED
If any of these essentials are
missing, the garden had better be
left implanted, for an unsuccessful
garden Is worse than growing no
garden at all. Worse because it
wastes scarce seed, fertilizer, and
insecticides.
First Of all, amateur gardeners
should understand that there's no
need for the hysteria that accom-
panied war garden planting in the
first World War; no need to pillow
up parks and flower beds, no JUS
tification in making way for food
crops by grubbing out ornamental
shrubs and wrecking beautiful
lawns.
