On the
Business
Front
BY WARD SCHULTZ

While the average Victory
Gardener surveyed his little
piece of ground and probably
dismissed the part IT played in
the war effort as negligible, he
would have viewed IL with A
little more respect had he been
able 10 see the overall national
picture.
Or. Joseph 5. Davis Of STAN
ford University estimated the
value Of crops taken from all
Victory Gardens al 81 000,-
100000.
Nor do the non-gardeners
generally appreciate the benefits
they receive-other than
murmured thanks for that to-
mato handed across the back
fence. Actually returns TO them
in the form of lower prices for
commercial vegetables will run
into the millions.
Here in Detroit experience
duplicated that of Cleveland,
where the price Of tomatoes
dropped from 2s cents a pound
10 S cents when the backyard
crops rlpened.
For next year. government
experts advise against the plant
ing of corn or potatoes IN Smah
plots because they take up more
room than they're worth In
areas where there was a ShoTr-
age of potatoes at planting
time most gardeners devoted
a GOodly portion 10 spudS, and
now they regret H.
And Uncle Sans boys also
point out that gardeners have
Tread V made their primary
capital Investment for tools
and that next years garden Will
he almost pure gravy. Aetu-
ally. they feel that the Victory
gardeners are 50 impressed with
the advantages ot having Their
own produce that they'll prob
ably garden for the rest OF their
lives.
