is prohibited for lawns, shrubs, or
anything other than food products.
A person who is permitted to
obtain chemical fertilizer for uses
other than on his Victory Garden

The importance of the Victory
Garden, both rural and urban, and
the importance of fertilizer to its

nized by this allotment of a share
of the limited supplies of nitrogen
for this purpose. 1t is hoped that
none of this material will be
wasted.
Secretary of Agriculture Claude

couraging Victory Gardening, con-
cluded. "Those who plan and start

McKENDRICK APPOINTED
TO IMPORTANT POST BY
STATE HIGHWAY BOARD
Ccontlnued from First Pagel

He spent a year in graduate work
in traffic engineering at Yale Uni
versity in 1939-4O and worked con-
tinuously. except for this year. in
the highway department since
graduation from Delaware.
With Planning Survey
Mr. McKendrick was state man
ager of the Delaware highway plan
ming survey, a division of the high
way department. He is married
and he and Mrs. McKendrick have
one child.
w. w. Mack. chief engineer of
the department, reported to the
commission that for the last six
months of. 1912 the mileage of all
department cars working out of
Dover headquarters was S9,601.
reduction of 49.7 per cent from the
figure of 176,315 miles for the same
period the year before.
He attributed the reduction to a
smaller amount of construction
work and the campaign started
early last spring to curtail driving.
Il think this is a creditable rec
ord and compares very favorably
with some that have been pub
licized in connection with the car
pooling plan" Mr.. Mack said in his
report.
The report also showed that for
the entire year of 1941 the mileage
of department cars working out of
Dover was 33S,624 compared with
1877 1863 for 1912, a decrease for the
latter year of AZ per cent although
the conservation effort did not
start until last March.

ties will cooperate with the gov
ernment and keep as many cows
as possible through their dry per-
iOds. The government is calling for
volunteers here. and l know our
farmers won't let their country
down"
Soper said many farmers were
finding it necessary to cut their
herds because of labor and machin-
cry shortages or lack of other ia
cilities. He added that he believed
that a number of small farmers
here. most of them with sufficient
labor in their own family. could
handle the cows over their dry per-
iod. He said he would try to inter
est All Club and Future Farmers
members in raising good heifers.
We will buy for cash and sell
either for cash or on time" the
supervisor said.
J. H. Wood, Maine-through Mary
land Regional Director. advised the
supervisor to put the program into
effect Immediately.
Il am confident that with the CO.
operation of the farmers we can
stem the decline of herds" Wood
said. We are determined that
henceforth no good milk-prOducing
COW will go to the butcher"
The regional director instructed
Soper to appeal TO farmers to con-
suit the FSA county supervisor be-
fore selling good milk cows to the
butcher. He advised him also to
seek out farmers who could keep
cows and help maintain the reg
ions milk production.
The Department of Agriculture
assigned FSA TO the job after var
iOus reports indicated that many
herds throughout the region were
being dispersed because of short
age of labor. feed and facilities.
Il feel that the department acted
in time to save our eastern milk
production" Wood said. Henry
Kaiser can build a ship in a few
days: but it takes more than two
years to grow and bring a cow into
production.
Already severe milk shortages
are being felt in several eastern
cities and many expanding indus
trial centers.
We realize that dry cows may
be worth more to some farmers as
meat than as mixers. 1t is costly
to maintain cows between lacta-
tiOn periods. But we must keep
these cows to protect our future
milk supplies. So the government
is prepared. if necessary. 10 sell dry
COWS to farmers at figures some

said Wood. We do not want TO

He said good COWS would be sold
