Victory Gardens
Seen as Possible
Necessity Here
Reports Of Impending
Food Shortage Cited by
Defense Officials

Victory gardens, the Metropolitan
Area Civilian Defense Office has
announced, will, in many cases.
become q necessity" as the war
goes on.
When the matter of home grown
cabbages and egg plants first came
up during last springs planting
season, many persons agreed that
victory gardens were one of the
things the District could do with
out because of the relatively poor
condition of the soil. Some persons
went ahead and tried their luck
with vegetable crops, but even the
Secretary Of Agriculture himself
warned that victory gardens could
be omitted If the condition of the
soil was not favorable or the pros
pective gardeners didn't really know
much about gardening. Seeds. 1t
was pointed out, were none too
plentiful and were not to be wasted
by well-meaning but untutored
amateurs.
Move Into Practical Field.
Now. says the local civilian de-
Tense Office, victory gardens have
moved out of the theoretical and
into the practical field"
Reports from the Department
OF Agriculture of actual and i'm
pending food shortages" the state
ment added, make victory gar
den, in many cases, a necessity.
I'VE are going to be rationed on
many items and the price on others
will make them prohibitive to a
great many people
The civilian defense office admits
that vegetables las rule don't do
we'll In city back yards but 1t is
pointed out that under certain con-
ditions and with proper preparation
good crops have been raised"
The reason the subject was
brought up at this time, the state
ment says, is that there is lot Of
work one can do to garden in the
fell to get 1t IN shape for spring
planting.
How to Prepare Soil.
Fall spading is beneficial" the
statement says IF the plot is in
sod or weeds it should be turned
under now. The green growth
turned under will decay and pro-
duce plant food.
I'm planning the garden 1t is
we'll to draw it up to scale, laying
out the rows of vegetables it will
accommodate"
City soils. the statement adds, are
usually acid and should be treated
with lime. The time to do this.
however, is in the early spring, it
said
The civilian defense Office sug-
gests prospective victory gardeners
write to the Department of Agri-
culture for free information. Bulle-
tins No. 483, called Victory Gar
dens," and No, 1044, entitled The
City Home Garden were recon-
mended.

Interest Encouraging
In general. Chaplain Arnold
stated that he has been much
encouraged by the interest shown
by men In the armed forces to-
ward religion generally and to spe-
cifie religious questions. He said
that the soldiers are extremely
curious about religion and put
many questions to individual chap
lains. seeking information on all
types Of religious questions.
In many Instances. question
boxes have been placed In
army chapels. and chapiains
invite the soldiers n ASK "A

The soldiers are not asked 10
give their names when they
put these questions In the
boxes. and In this wa, many
soldiers who would otherwise
be timid about asking ques-
fions, according to Chaplain
Arnold. have turned up with
many interesting questions.
Chaplains are enabled by this
procedure, Chaplain Arnold point
ed out. to discover which issues
are OF particular interest To the
men, and IN many instances built
their sermons around these CUES
