''OuF soldiers love music, the

Many writers, such as the famed

Women'S clubs can set up can
ming headquarters and arrange with
members who possess such cookers
to undertake the canning of the
community's garden truck. This
isn't as drastic as it sounds, for
every one would have to prepare
their own fruits and vegetables. sup
ply their own clean jars, filled and
topped, and bring them in to the
center to be processed. The owner
Of the cooker could be paid a nomi-
nal sum per jar for the use of her
time, fuel and equipment This
would probably be more satisfactory
to the possessors of pressure cookers
than renting them out to individ-
uals, who might not know how to
handle them, with resultant dam
age and depreciation.
This type of wartime cooperation
needn't be confined to organized
groups, either. A neighborhood could
make the arrangement with one of
its residents in possession of a
pressure cooker, and all processing
be done by one individual as her
war work. Again payment for fuel
time and trouble could be made.
Even if pressure cookers are put
on the market in time for this sea-
sons canning, as we said before
they will be small in number. In
this case group might band to-
gether and all chip in to purchase
a cooker, assigning its operation
to one or more who know how to
handle the work, and will be re-
sponsible for the care and keeping
Of the cooker. This would make it
available for a large number OF
home Gamers, rather than keeping
1t for use by one or two. The initial
expense per person would be much
less, which is point to be con-
sioered by every housewife these
days.
Working out plan among com
munity gardeners for community
canning is one of the most logica,
and efficient wartime steps that car
be taken on the home front.

Frances Rice's interest in cryptog-
raphy and ciphers,
Miss Rice has lived in Washington
less than year. She came here
from Philadelphia, where she was
a member of the Diamond Club,
an association of cryptographers.
One thing that disappointed her
about Washington was that she
could not locate puzzlers' club
here.
She first became interested in the
subject about 10 years ago. A Phila-
delphla newspaper ran series
of cryptograms and ciphers, just as
ours run crossword puzzles. She
next learned of national club
called the American Cryptogram
Association, which she joined This
association publishes a small BIZ
monthly magazine with news about
the members and lots of puzzles to
be worked

On Feeding the Garden in Wartime
Every Type Every Advauage

Wartime emergencies are taking
most Of the nitrogen and so the use
of commercial fertilizers containing
nitrogen is restricted to vegetable
crops. However, there are mixec
fertilizers on the market containing
nitrogen in the form of plant OF
animal material and there is nc
restriction upon their use for flowers
and lawns. Such a fertilizer is
known as an organic one to dis
tinguish it from the so-called chem
ical fertilizers which are generally
referred to as inorganic.
In addition to this organic fer
tilizer gardeners will find a limited
supply of bone meal, an ample sup
ply OF superphosphate and the dried
manWes. For vegetables there is the
victory garden fertilizer, which con-
tains inorganic nitrogen. Then for
those who can obtain them there
are limited amounts of the animal
manures-cow, horse and poultry
However, because of the huge de-
mand for them by vegetable gar
deners 1t is not expected that many
gardeners will use them on their
flowers and roses.
Top Dressing for La,Ons
The use of fertilizers on lawns will
probably be at lower rate this
year than formerly However, for
those gardeners who wish to keep
their lawns in good condition a top
dressing is recommended. This NAV

compost, superphosphate, sand and

dairy or the dried producD. A thin
layer of this spread over the lawn
will materially benefit the grass.
This mixture as prepared for the
lawn is suitable for use in the flower
border. where its humus content is
oftentimes badly needed, particularly
on the perennial beds. Many gar
deners will want to buy the mixed
organic fertilizer for their flower,
rose and shrubbery borders. 1t is
also very good for the evergreens.
In fact, it was developed for them

Tor mulching, In 1943 We are going
to need great deal of mulching ma
terlals, especially if rainfall is below
normal. 1t is quite probable that, be-
cause of the greatly expanded city
population with no increase in the
water supply, the use of water for
flowers, lawns and gardens will be
prohibited.
The lack of water should be no bar
