| Fertilizers are definitely in shorter
supply this year than last. It will
not be possible to run down to the
hardware store to buy a sack of high
grade or low grade fertilizer to make
up for the deficiencies in our soils.
The only fertilizer available for the
home gardener is a 3-8-7 mixture
which is too low in nitrogen for best
results with the green, leafy vege-
tables. We must use it with care to
insure the best results possible
Manures should be boarded as we'll

A small garden well tended will
produce a surprisingly large supply
of vegetables. A large garden poorly
cared for will not yield proportion
ately we'll nor will it produce lus-
clous, rich. health-giving vegetables
Let's all be Victory gardeners in
1943. Plan wisely, be frugal with
all seed and fertilizer supplies. and
attempt only a garden plot which
we are reasonably sure of being able

Data on New Afraid System
Uniform Pion Effective Over Eastern
Seobourd, Including D. c., Wednesday

t. e.. one before Gf time Permits a
red" and always one after red?
A. AirplaneS travel fast, say
miles in a minute. Consequently
they can change direction rapidly
and one cannot always predeter-
mine the exact place they may
bomb. Then again, at night, they
are guided by skyglow, Also, one
bombing may be followed in vary
ing periods by another. Therefore
a blackout (blue) signal is required
at all times when there is danger
of bombing
@. If the same sound is used for
the blue signal before the red
and after the red" will this not
result in confusion?
A. No, because it means exactly
the same thing in either event. Ci-
william defense forces are modified
Blackout is effected, but traffic and
pedestrians move. A state of pre-
caution exists in either case.
@. Will there be definite time
interval between the signals?
A. No. The course and move
ment Of the enemy planes will de-
termine when the signals are given
and time sequence cannot be pre-
dicted. If, for illustration. the
planes turn away from the area
threatened, the red" signal may
not follow the blue" signal.
@. What lights are not required
to be blacked out during the blue"
period?
A. Lights on automobiles, trucks
and buses headlight must be on
low BEAM, streetcars, railroads and
certain emergency lights. Certain
street lights, certain lights in rail-
road classification yards and certain
lights in military and naval installa-
tons and manufacturing plants and
war facilities essential to the war
effort, provided they are shielded
so as not to contribute materially
to skyglow and are so installed that
they can be turned off within l
minute after the red signal is
given.
Q. Are any lights permitted to
rem<in on during the red" signal?
A. In general, all lights are out
on the red" signal However,
few lights are permitted which are
Of no operational advantage to ene-
my aircraft. These permitted lights
include low-beam headlights on
emergency vehicles (police cars, fire
trucks, ambulances, military We
hicles and properly identied cars of
authorized emergency workers. and
certain other emergency lights, and
also lights of low intensity which
comply with standard War Depart
ment blackout specifications.

"A. No. Although every effort will

of blackouts and mobilization of
civilian defense forces, the public
must realize that ! a surprise raid
might be successful in evading ea<ly
detection, in which case the first
warning will be the red" signal.
In such case, immediate action must
be taken to blackout lights and
seek shelter
@. If community is satisfied with
its present system of warning sig
mails, why should it change?
A. Uniformity in system of
signals is essential to complete
protection of the entire Eastern

might, for illustration, be mistaken
in your own town for the blue"
