Victory Gardeners
May Get Free Seeds
But Don't Count On II,
Folks. It's Just an Ideo
BY FRANCIS ]. KELLY

- Il TNhNSAo y N ELL
WASHINGTON, March Up
Don't look in the mailbox now,
but free seeds such as congress-
men used to mail your father 20
years ago may be on the way
back-to grow in victory gard
ems.
AS quick step to encourage
family gardens when every
pound of food is important,
Chairman Smith (D-SC) of the
Senate agricultural committee
today made plans to discuss free
seeds with Secretary Wickard.
II think it would do some real
good,' he said in an interview.
1--WE need anything that will
bring in more food, and it would
MT cost nearly as much as lots
of practically useless things the
administration has done"
Should the free distribution
plan be revived, Smith said the
seeds should 60 to residents oil
small towns as we'll as farmers
Under the system in effect un.
til 1924, five-sixths of the seeds
bulbs, trees, shrubs, vines, cut
tings and plants bought by the
agriculture department under a
special section of its appropria-
ton bill were allotted to senators
and representatives for distribu-
ton to their constituents - be-
ing sent out in franked envelopes
and packets. The department
sent the other one sixth in re-
Spouse to individual requests.

Den,s 10 Shift
Organization
Rank and File
to Have Voice

LANSING, March l - (Pl -
Earnest c. Brooks, the new De-
mocratic state chairman, said
today he would waste no time
in undertaking a reorganization
of his party's campaign machin-
cry to give rank and file mem
bers a louder voice.
I'VE will hold a meeting in
Lansing this week, probably
about Thursday, to form a steer
ing committee for the cam
paign," Brooks said. 1T will re-
present the congressional dis
trict and county chairmen and
some others.
There has been criticism that
on policy-making and patronage
affairs, the county and district
chairmen weren't consulted -
that they existed only to deliver
the votes. There will be no rea-
son for criticism of that nature.
Brooks said he would ask the
central committee to employ a
full-time executive assistant, to
tour the state to help protect
local organizations.
The new chairman, elected al
the Democratic state convention
in Detroit Friday, said he would
start right out on a tour of the
state, calling on Democrats to re-
build their organizations, COM
batting any defeatism attitude
and telling them they not only
have a spring campaign on their
hands but should start immedi-
ately to think of 1914.
Although he will keep his re-
sidence in Holland, Brooks said
he would be on the job full time

To save the Jewish race from

In radio forum yesterday
DR.. Wise asked the United States
to admit all Jewish refugees
who seek admittance and urged
repeal of Britain's immigration

Be Sure Seeds
Are Healthy
Before Planting

This is No. 8 Of a series of
IL articles of expert advice
for Victory gardeners this
year. 1t Is suggested that
you clip and save each in
stallment for future reference.
Prepared by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture for NEA
Service
The Victory gardener can
control weeds by regular Guilt
walton, but protection of his
vegetable plants from insects,
and prevention of loss from
plant diseases, require special
forethought and preparation.
This is because there is a
threat to seed and plants from
planting time to maturity from
a great variety of ailments and
destructive pests.
AS prevention is always better
than cure, before planting your
Victory Garden you should be
sure that seed and plants are dis
ease-resistant varieties adapted
to your locality. 1t has been
found that a number of plant
diseases are carried in or on the
seed but cannot be controlled
by seed treatment-and this un-
derscores the Importance of get
ting seed from the most reliable
possible sources.
GET GOOD ROOTS
In buying plants, make sure
the roots are clean, profusely
branched and free from knots or
swellings. This is a protection
against future garden troubles.
There are two kinds of injur-
ious garden insects. Caterpillars,
beetles, grasshoppers and grubs
fed by chewing and swallowing
parts of the plant.
Plant lice, thrips, leafhoppers,
and plant bugs don't bite, but
have a tubular beak, through
which they suck up the juices
from within the plant. Stomach
poisons put on the plant surface
do not affect the sucking in
sects, which must be controlled
by insecticides that kill by con-
tact.
Effective for use In small gar
dens are small compassionate
sprayers carried by a strap over
the shoulder. One of these often
will serve for a group of garden
ers in the same neighborhood.
Poisons also may be applied in
powder form to a number of gar
den crops by means of small
hand buster or even burlap or
cheesecloth bag, by means of
which the poison can be busted
on the plants when they are
moist with dew.
Garden products such as snap
beans should not be sprayed or
busted with poisont after the
edible parts have formed.
HELPFUL PAMPHLETS
Detailed information on the
numerous types of garden pests
may be obtained by gardeners
from State and Federal agricul-
tural agencies and experienced
gardeners. A bulletin of general
value, covering the common in
sects and plant diseases, called
Diseases and Insects of Garden
Vegetables" is available, from
the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. A leaflet on Disease
Resistant Varieties of Vegetables
for the Home Garden" also is
available from the same source.
Next: Continuous supply of
vegetables Is Victory Garden
