The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-01-31

As we plunge into the third year of war, with grim determination and an earnest hope that it will be the last. let take quick look at 1943 ...a year of intense activity all along our lines.. year that offered severe test to every man and woman on our railroad .. a year that found our railroad an indispensable part of wartime America. 365 days and nights of laundering freight trains ... fast passenger trains long troop trains tightly spaced commuter trains moving with smooth precision without congestion without bottleneckS.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-01-31

We realize this was not done without some incon- venience to our shippers and passengers. Trains were sometimes late .. but we rather proud of our on-time performance record Trains were occasionally crowded .. but we never knew ot an instance where we were unable to take pas sen9er to his or her desired destination.
 The magnitude of our operations during this war year is reflected in our financial statement, which shows the largest gross income in our history. by the series of events which h9hlight the wartime activities of great railroad looking to the future.

Watering Of Victory Gardens Urged
To Offset Damage From The Drought

aging plant foliage. Various garden
sprinklers are available, and any
kind you have will do if it gives
proper coverage and sufficient vol
ume. 1t is important that such
sprinklers be kept in one spot long
enough to supply sufficient amount
of water.
"Ooze" hose, made of canvas, is
satisfactory if the ground is level,
otherwise water will run through
the hose without oozing out. Since
water does not spread laterally to
any great extent, canvas hose should
be moved only short distances so
water will be distributed uniformly
on all the soil. Automatic irrigation
systems used commercially are not
practical for home gardeners at pres
ent because it is difficult to secure
the equipment.
The frequency of watering will de-
pend upon atmospheric conditions.
During a hot period with strong
winds, much more frequent irriga-
tion is needed. 1t is best to apply
water on cloudy days or in the even
ing, to reduce the evaporation from
the soil to the minimum. Water
wastage is the chief objection to
watering during the heat of the day.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1944-07-27

Water is essential for the develop
ment of plants; and, since during
hot, Ohio summers rainfall deficiency
is likely to occur, additional water
may have to be supplied. In apply
ing water, it is desirable to moisten
the soil to a depth of several inches
rather than apply mere surface
sprinkling. That means that heavy
watering at longer intervals is more
satisfactory than frequent shallow
applications.
During periods of drought, shall
low watering may cause root forma-
tion near the surface and subsequent
damage to these from drying unless
constant attention is paid to water
ing. Extremely heavy watering is
not advisable, particularly in soils
with gravel subsoil because plant
nutrients will be carried away by
excess water.
The most common method of ap-
plying water is the garden hose, but
a breaker nozzle should be used to
break the force of the water and
avoid compacting the soil and dam

Mulching And Cultivation Will
Help Gardens In Dry Weather

sawdust, or similar material are
having less trouble than those who
did not. Likewise, those who were
foresighted and thoroughly prepared
their vegetable garden soil by incor-
porating ample quantities of coal
ashes or humus have soils which
were better able to absorb moisture
during the rainy period and to hold
that moisture.
On heavy clay garden soils that
have never been lightened and loos-
ened by the incorporation of any of
these materials, the plants are suf-
fering. Their soils could not take
in nearly the quantity of rain as
did the other prepared soils. 1t is
too late now to do anything about
this, but it is well to bear it in
mind for another. season.
Watering will be helpful. Since
water is scarce in practically every
community, it might be well if time
is limited and if equipment is not
available for putting it on properly
to thoroughly water each row Of
vegetables, rather than to squirt the
hose "over the entire garden. i
is better to thoroughly water those
plants by soaking the soil to a deptl
of four to six inches. Do not mere
ly lay the dust on the surface. A
small amount of moisture put on th'
surface does the plants no good be
cause their roots are considerable
below that level.
