Plan Victory Gardens Now


Although victory gardeners ex.
ceeded their goal Of 10 million
gardens for is43 by about 10 per
cent, they are asked for another 10
per cent increase in 1914. Ar.
rangements should be made now for
the use of vacant lots. and consid.
cradle preparatory work can 20
on through the Writer. Hard coal
ashes can be sifted and stored or,
plots. Compost piles and supplies
Of manure can be accumulated, and
either turned under wherever
ground is not frozen or stacked for
use in early spring.
Increase In Apple Prices
Increases in apple prices over
those for 1912 will mean that a
2s-ounce jar Of apple butter viii
cost from 3 to 4 cents more at re-
tail, OPA reports The method by
which dealers in apples for home
consumption determined their max
i1num prices in sales prior to re-
tail was changed With maximum
prices for terminal markets the
same as those for rural markets,
apples tended to become scarce In
rural markets. So. premium of
3f8 OF cent pound now is al
lowed on sales in rural markets. 7
Syrup Prices Are Higher
Retail prices for cane syrup have
been increased by OPA as a result
Of refiguring the parity formula,
which resulted in increased returns
to sugar cane growers. Increases
in No. 10 cans slightly less than
one gallon-are about 10 cents for
country cane syrup. formerly known
as Louisiana cane syrup. and A to
S cents for commercial cane syrup
formerly known as Georgia cane
syrup. Accumulators, mostly coun.
try store operators. have beer
granted an increase from / to :
cents a gallon for their handling

Farm Help for Lumber supply
Because Of the critical overall
lumber and pulpwood shortage,
which directly affects farmers, who
are large users of lumber and wood
products. Marvin Jones. War Food
Administrator, indicated that far
