Easter Seal Sale Is

Victor N. Peterson Is Chairman of Local Committee
 Working to Help Crippled Children

Seal Sale oe the Connecticut Society of Crippled Children.
 Seventy-One local chairman in all parts of the state, including this area, where Victor V. Peterson is the chairman of Naugatuck com nittee, and more than 600 volun- teers have aided in the sending out of the seals and will continue to help on the drive until 1t closes on Easter Sunday.
 The work of the Society, organized in 1926, has received the endorse ment of leading citizens in the state and the Easter Seal sale has been given their -headted coopera- ton. Chairman Burkick pointed out, however, that any task can be brought to a successful conclusion. He urged that through their local committee chairman people here become farniliary with the turquoise blue mad purple Easter Seal and the work 1t represents.
 'If you would like seals and have not received any by mail contact your local chairman" on the state headquarters at 05 Wethersfeld avenue, Hartford"
 As the war progresses, Chairman Burdick said, the benefits of the experience of the Connecticut So- ciety for Crippled Children will be urgently needed for crippled adults as vel as children in programs ot occupational theray sheltered work shops, vocational guidance, training of the crippled for productive jobs and placement in employment.

Late Negro Scientist
 Left Valuable AdUice
Opinions of George Washington Carver on Soil Cultivation May Play Big Part in Victory Garden Campaign Bulletin
 Reprinted.

, in the successful operation of Q Victory Garden.
 The scientist recognized the value of prepared fertilizer, although he sometimes recommended the use of waste from the barn yard or compost pile. His bulletin points out that gardeners should understand the functions of nitrogen, potash and phosphorouS in prepared com. pounds.
 "Nitrogen", he wrote, ':has for its chief office the making of roots, stems, leaves and all cellular mat ter: the chief office of potash seems to be that of making sugars, fats, starches, gums, resins, oils, etc.. and that of phosphorus to assist pot ash in its function and to give vitality to the seed" A Victory Garden fertilizer, au- thorized by the Department of Agri- | culture and the War Production Board, may be obtained this year. It contains three per cent nitrogen, eight per cent phosphoric acid and seven per cent potash.
 | Dr. Carver also listed some of the underlying principles for fer tilizing gardens:
 (1) All plants require food in i order to live, grow and mature.
 (2) Part of this food comes from the air and part from the soil.
 (3) Ninety per cent of the sub stances which go into the making of garden vegetables come from the air either directly or indirectly. Thsee substances form the sugars, fats, oils, gums, and cellular matter which are manufactured in the leaves.
 Next to water, Dr. Carver stressed, the preparation of the seed bed is the most important factor in grow ing 8 garden.
 "Ihe most important of all soil operations" he wrote, lis the prep aration of the seed bed. If the seed bed is poorly prepared, no amount of after-cultivation will give the highest yield"
 The Department of Agriculture pointed out that Victory Gardeners, following Dr. Carver's suggestion, should spade their plots well-from six to eight inches deep when the ground Is not too wet. They must continue to spade and rake the plot until the soil Is thoroughly pulverized. Tn this condition it can l absorb and retain water for the plants.
 The noted scientist, whose biog- raphy, George Washington Carver" has just been publisehd, probably can make his geratest contribution to the Victory Garden drive for irl- creased farm production through this simple philosophy, expressed in that book, start where you are. with what you have, make some thing of it, never be satisfied"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-04-08

Dr. George washington Carver made many contributions to the field of agricultural research. Althought he died at Tuskegee 1n- stitute, Ala, early this year. the noted negro scientist may yet make another important contribution to American-war effort = if prospec- tive Victory Gardeners will accept his simple advice on the care of the soil.
 World-famed for his discoveries of sweet potatoe and peanut by- products, Dr. Carver was no less an authority on soil research. In 1886 his experimental station at Tuske- gee published @ bulletin explaining how barren soil can be made and kept fertile. Department of Agricul- ture officials pointed out this week that this material, based on num- erous experiments at Tuskegee h. stitute, can be of vital importance

To help feed the vast Russian

has shipped 1,077000 tons of food,
including 233,052 tons of wheat and

meats, 99,010 tons of dried fruits and

Large as food shipments have
been," the report said, they have
been small in comparison with the
critical Russian needs. The Soviet
is making heroic efforts to restore
food production in the areas lib
Grated from the Axis and to raise
more food In newly developed
regions behind the Urals. To aid
these efforts we have sent more
than 10000 tons Of seeds. -
The vastness of the area in which
lease-lend goods for Russia are to

By the Associated Press,
Lend-lease Administrator Edward
r. Stettinius, jr, in a special report
today on shipments to Russia in the
10 months ended April 80, asserted
that American weapons in Russian

Mr.. Stettinius said, IS completed

have been flown all the way or as
sembled en- route after being deliv-
cred part way in American ships.
"A close second in Importance as a

Netherlands and Greece?
8. Will the supplies ever reach the
starving natives of those countries
or will they be diverted to Axis use?
4. Would relief of this nature lift
a burden from the Axis by giving
food to people who otherwise might
be moved by desperation to revolt?
5. Will the British agree to lift the
blockade of Europe to permit such
shipments?
Hoover Will Be Called.
There is no question this would
be tremendous undertaking, Sen
ator Gillette told reporters, "but it
seems to me that while we are allo-
eating food supplies to countries
that have been liberated we could
make a reasonable ALLEGATION to our
allies in the conquerted areas.
otherwise many of them will be
dead before they are liberated"
While the British in the past have
opposed sending supplies to such
areas, the Iowa Senator pointed
out that food has been sent to
Greece for several months under
the supervision of the Swedish and
Swiss governments and the Interna-
tional Red Cross. He said the State
Department recently certified this
setup as working satisfactorily and
without benefit to the Germans"
Former President Hoover, who di-
rected Belgian relief in the last war,
probably will be called as a witness,
Senator Gillette said, adding he was
informed that sufficient Swedish
ships, not available for Allied war
cargoes, could be marshaled to move
the food to European areas if agree
ments can be reached.
