Step 6. Determining the Time
and Method of Planting

After the decision has been
reached as to what to grow and
the amount, one should consult
the planting table to find out
about when to plant in the open
in order not to have too much dis
appointment by having a lot of
vegetables killed by the late frost
When actual planting time ar
rlVes, be sure to see that the soil
is we'll prepared and in flower
bed condition, if possible. Take
your planting chart or plan and
see that the rows are arranged
and spaced as you have already
planned. Where commercial fer
tilizer is being used, be sure to
see that it is Well-mixed with the
soil.
1t is generally considered a good
practice to place the tall growing
vegetables, such as corn and pole
beans and the like to the north
or west side Of the garden. Better
result can generally be had if
the smaller and earlier vegetables
are planted on the east or south
side Of the garden and then con-
tinue the planting across the gar
den as planned. Local conditions
should always be taken into con-
sideration.
Step s. Cultivating
Weeds must be kept under con-
troll by thorough and shallow cul-
tiVation. In the large gardens
and where horse power is avail
able, this will be done to a very
large extent by shallow blowing
with cultiVatOrs, however, much
hand work with sharp hoe will
have to be done or the weeds will
rise to claim the ground.
The garden should be worked
lightly after each rain as soon
as the soil is dry enough, keeping
in mind not to work clay soil
when wet.
Step 9. Insects and Disease
Control
Another very important feature
of raising a successful Victory

Keep Week At 48
Hours To Mdintuin
Top Efficiency
Let's Profit By Experience
Of Others. A. F. Of L.
Chief Asks

Washington, d. G. ULNS). - In
creased production cannot be obtained
by simply lengthening the hours of
work, President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor de-
clareS in urging that Americas work
week be kept at 4S hours.
In signed editorial in the February
issue of the American Federationist,
the AFL's official monthly magazine,
President Green says:
"World experience shows that un-
duly long hours are invarioably fol-
lowed by increased absenteeism due to
fatigue or illness. In England and
Germany long wOrlweeks were found
to be the cause of inefiiciency and re-
duced output; reducing the worlweek
restored production.
I'VE cannot get more by simply
lengthening the hours. Flesh and blood
accumulate fatigue, which slows down
nerves and brain-and output declines.
Let us profit by experience and
keep Americas wOrkweek at 4S hours,
so that we can maintain our produc-
ton rates and the efficiency of our pro
ducing workers. They have made a
record of which we may be proud"
Green wrote that last years ''un-
tanks and other equipment of wal
was accomplished on what was prac-
tically 4S-hour standard"

To Private Life
Stuunch Advocate Of Labor
Notifies President He Will
Not Seek Redppointment

Washington, ID. G. GLNS).-Davil
j. Lewis, chairman of the National
Mediation Board, has retired to pri-
vate life at the expiration of his term.
Lewis, long Il staunch advocate of
labor i'm Congress as Maryland Repre-
sentative, wrote TO President ROoSe.
welt that he would not seek reappoint-
ment to the board. lie had held public
office either elective vi appontiVe, for
II years.
Son OF Coal Miner
The son of Il Pennsylvania coal
miner and miner himself at the age of
9, "Davy' Lewis, as he is popularity
and atfcctionately called in the ranks
of organized labor, knows at first hand
the life of IL worker. He can always
be depended upon To support labor,s
cause and was one of the best friends
labor ever had in Congress.
Lewis, whose home is in Cumber-
land, Md, served several terms in the
Maryland State SenataItO which he
was first elected in 1901. He was
elected to the United States House of
Representatives in 1910 and served six
terms.
He was appointed by President Will
son to the United States Tariff Com
mission in 1917 and served to 1923.
He declined reappointment from PreSi-
dent Coolidge and again was elected
to the House of Representatives in
1890.
\ New Deal Democrat, Lewis op-
posed Senator 1NdingS in 1898 in Il
bitterly fought, but unsuccessful cam
paign for the latter'S scat in the
Senate.
President Roosevelt appointed Lewis
one of the three members of the
National Mediation Board in 1899.
TO Aid Just Peace"
In announcing his decision To retire
TO private life, Lewis made public "A
letter to the President which said, in
part:
II have two reasons which impel me
to retire. The first is that | am near
ing my 7lth birthday, and the second
that | wish To be free like Senator
Norris to aid in seeing the just, per

because believe WPB and the nation
will benefit thereby.
The pattern is one shaped by our
belief that the participation OF prac-
teal labor men will help us do our
Job better. Representation of labor
within WPB must be measured by its
success in increasing lahor'S partici-
patton in war production We want the
advice of working people to help us
find the best ways Of doing the job,
and we want the help of labor leaders
to assure the enthusiastic accomplish
ment by the people of every effort
which we undertake.
"In other words labor representation
is not an end in itseli-but Il means of
helping our country build enough to
smash the Axis rs completely and
quickly as possible.
What labor has already done TO
help accomplish that is only Il small
measure of what we know labor can
and will do to make democracy con-
mer the brutal enemies of human civ
ilization."
Nelson's article is followed by n
brief statement by Robert j. Watt,

It's Funny---Bu+is Is
fFucf?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

You know what / mean-the jokes
that are clever, insidious propaganda.
Funny-but not fact. You have laughed
at thenl-and been half ashamed of
yourself for doing it. And sometimes
before you realized it, you've repeated
them.
The jokes l mean are started by sub
versive cells in various parts of the
country. Carefully thought out, and
planned with an eye to real humOr,
they are picked up and unthinllingly
repeated and then they spread like
the ripple caused by "a stone thrown
in the water.
''But who takes joke seriously?"
you say. Unfortunately it is the sluT
in the story that stays when the laugh
has gone 1t drops like Il speck of
poison into the mind ready to germin-
ate under the heat of stress or strain
or war hysteria.
There are the jokes about our allies
You know as well as | that the flood
of anti-British jokes was German in
spired. Many people have totally
false view of Britain's war effort be
cause of these jokes.
Then there are the floods of ma
tional jokes which tried to establish
a racial difference between people OF
similar bloods by emphasizing so-calIed
characteristics. These are the jokes
planned to create disunity.
Stop and think-How many jokes dc
you hear told on hundred per cent
Aryan? No, it's either the Celt, the
Gael, the Latin, the Leventine or the
Slav who is the laughing stock. How
long has it been since the Joke" was
on one of German stock?
Then there is the religious joke,
based on something that will slight
or throw mud on some faith or on tbs
believers in some creed. How long has
it been since you heard Il joke which
had an atheist as the butt?
1t makes you think, doesn't it? Is
| it so funny when you realize the fact
There is just one thing that can b,
done, one way in which to stop joke
| propaganda. And that is to follow q
simple rule-don't repeat it. Let the
story die with you. Don't be the mug
the enemy takes you for. Shut him III
| by shutting up!
And-remember whenever YOU heal
