Lansing. May 25-Paul r. Krone.
state victory garden director, today
cautioned victory gardeners and
those who have failed to plant that
they could get a rough idea them
selves OF food shortages which may
be in store by recalling this years
unreasonable spring in Michigan
and damage caused to farm crops in
other Mid.Western states.
For the benefit OF those convinc.
ed by the weather and farm labor
shortages which are holding down
production. Krone offered three tips
on the adequacy of gardens.
PLANT just the amount of parish
able crops. such as lettuce, that
can be utilized when they mature,
he advised. Don't make just one
planting-three or four seasonal
paintings are necessary to provide
an all-season garden.
Definitely plan the number OF
quarts TO be canned and plant the
right amount to provide this food.
For canning, he said. the gardner
needs to grow 6 to 10 pints per per-
son, which can be grown in rows
is feet long. Other per-person
canning needs and the number of
feet of row space needed TO grow
that much are, peas, 6 pints, SO
feet: beans. 10 pints. As to 80
feet: lima beans 6 pints, 80 feet;
sweet corn. 10 pints, 80 feet; to-
matoes. 80 to 35 quarts, 20 plants.
For storage other than canning,
Krone suggested the following
quantities be grown per person:
Turnips. 10 pounds 10 feet; ru-
tabagas, 10 pounds, 10 feet; beets,
20 pounds, 20-25 feet; carrots, 20
pounds, rs to 80 feet: cabbage. 25
