vittory Gardens To Be Discussed
 Al Meet Tonight

| Ted Carter, Assistant in Food Production for the Department oi Agriculture, who is in Juneau con- ducting classes in Victory Gardens today expressed disappointment with the lack of interest shown in the subject, and again stressed the importance of individual families raising as much of their own food as possible,
 MT. Carter said, Tt is impos- sible to impress people enough with the necessity of planting these Vic tory Gardens. Even those who have had no experience can have a slic- cessful garden, because I am pre- pared to help them in every way. There will be follow-up trips through all of Southeast Alaska. {
 Last year people in the States raised 8,000,000 tons of food, and if they had not done so. we would feel the shortage here. We must do our part also. One of the first things to be undertaken in the liberated countries is to plant gardens to en- sure food supply, and for every soldier sent overseas we must triple our reserve supply. Reports show that bad weather in the States will cut down on this years production, and it is vital that we do our. part to prevent food crisis
 A Victory Garden school will be held tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the grade school auditorium, when MT Carter will talk on soil preparation pertaining to our climatic condit- ions and will explain the uses of lime and fertilizer. MT. Carter con- demns the indiscriminate use of lime to correct all soil deficiencies. All persons concerned with an ade- quate food supply for Alaska are invited to be present.
