The Garden Notebook

The gardeners library is rapidly
taking shape, new catalogues are
coming with every mail delivery
they ell contain EcWiloering list
OF GloWiHgly Ce5criDed flowers and
vegetables. Tee temp1e ticn to buy
some of each Is great. EoWever.
We must remember that our time
and strength are limited and that
1t is best to start with a plan of our
garden. Work out the location and
quantities of each kind to be grown
Then order seeds and plants. This
will avoid waste of seed as well as
attempting to do too much.

OFFICIALLY spring is some sir
10eeks diDdy, but the gardener
has much to do and unless he is
careful that Sir 10eeks 1piH be all
too short. The immediate Job
is, OF course, planning the garden.
Secondly, get that order of for
seeds, plants, shrubs and trees.
Third, the purchase of supplies
should be arranged as soon as
the needed amounts are COM
puted. Then comes pruning,
dormant sprays, the removdl OF
mulches and the spring cleanup
Sir weeks may be pery short
time.
This has been an unusual winter
IN that We had long period of be-
loW-freezing weather and then 1t
turned warm and the temperatures
remained we'll above freezing until
the buds began to swell and the
early spring-flowering bulbs started
pcking their heads through the
ground. Most of these can with
stand freezing temperatures even
with this advanced development
However, the fruit trees and some
OF the shrubs will be injured if this
continues for long. Peaches are the
first to suffer, although roses and
many ornamentals such as lockwood.
English Ivy, etc, respond to mild
temperatures and start into growth

them

1t is not too early to prune
grapes and fruit trees, to thin out

should not be pruned for a

fo,oering shrubs are ordinarily
pruned after they bloom, but it
is good practice to cut and bring

Victory gardens will be just as
important, If not more so, in 1914
than they were in 1943, when they
contributed SO much to the Nation S
food supply. Commercial growers
fell 6 per cent short OF their 1943
goals and will probably fall further
behind in 1914 because of the short
age OF manpower. The supplies of
canned vegetables available for the
armed forces and civilians as evi-
denced by store shelves seems to
belle this shorter supply, but it was
the production of the backyard and
community gardens that more than
offset the smaller commercial pro-
duction. Without the huge Victory
garden production in 1943, estimated
at more than 100000 tons. we
would not find those store shelves
so well stocked and the ration point
values so low. Yes, Victory gar
deners, we have a job to do in
l944-a bigger one than in 1913.
According to w. r. Beattie. whose
radio garden program is we'll known
in this area. the l943 garden sea-
son was one of the most difficult
in his more than 40 years of ex-
perlence in the Washington area
II l943 was one of the worst. Vic
tory gardeners may certainly look
forward to a more favorable one
In 1914, both as to weather and as
to experience. Many were begin
lners in 1943, beginners at least in
this area. With a years experience
behind them they may expect to
do better in 1914. if they capitalize
on last years mistakes and do a
better job of gardening.
Other factors point to a more
successful gardening year. Sup
plies Of fertilizer are better, at
least We have a better-c -calanced
mixture available, 5-10-5, and small
amounts of ammonium sulphate te
will be sold to gardeners. These are
better adapted to meet the needs
tof this area. 80 -
Seed supplies are larger than q
year ago, although perhaps some
kinds and varieties will be in smalle,
supply However, other kinds and
varieties may be substituted for
them and so We are all assured of
a well-balanced garden.

Paper Shortage Seen
Extending Into 1945

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Relief
from the paper shortage cannot be
reasonably" seen before the mid
die of 1945 regardless of what hap
pens in the European theater of
war, the War Production Board
stated
Heavy military and civilian re-
quirements for newsprint, maga-
zine and book paper and the short
age of manpower were the chief
blame by the WPB for the situa-
tion.
The agency said it was making
the announcement at the request
of newspaper, magazine and book
publishers who desired through
their advisory committee to correct
the "optimistic belief in some civil
ian quarters that substantial relief
in printing paper shortages would
be expected after the European
wa rends."

Koskeys Roll 1880
 For EIkS' Record

One of the tightest finishes in years was predicted for the National division of the Elks' bowling league. which saw the team explained by Al Koskey roll a sizzling 1880 last night to set a new high team sine gle by a margin of 20 pins over the seasonal record to date. Ko6key's cohorts, including Dan Ferrari. Cy D'VeleSkiS, Eddie Lasky and Dr. Jos May walloped the wood consistently to win a 40 decision over John Collins and his motley crew of ambitious pin-topplerS. Starting rather slowly, the KoSkeys rolled 548 for its first game, then got 555 and wound up with 577 for it's fine total; Ferrari finishing with four straight marks.
 Joe Mulville's Reindeers, one game of the pace, won four games last night, in quest of fourth straight championship, but is one game be- hind Koskey and company; while Jimmy Saginario'S SoffritaS must win four points to hold its share of the division leadership with the Koskeyites.

home opener. Not only was he doubtful of Adams expressed con- fidence that he could go the route, but he had some misgivir1g over who might be used to fill his spot as the number one relief man. The ace settled the first point beyond doubt by getting stronger as the game pro gressed and displaying some brilliant control pitching from the sixth 1n- ming on. Peculiarly, Ott hasn't had to worry about the second problem thus far because three of his four starters to date have gone the dls- tance. If the first string hurlers can maintain a pace like that there won't be any need for bull pen pitcher to be as busy as Adams was last season when he appeared in 70 games to set a new modern record.
 Adams, laughing 8 career as Q starter, thus puts an end to one or the oldest records in major league baseball, three years as a relief man in which he appeared in 169 games, but worked in only 299 innings or an average of 1.76 innings per game. During that time he won 2 games and lost F, just good seasons work for a top grade starting pitcher.
 The Giants with four straight vic- tories appear now as stronger team than the Dodgers and might beat out their interborough rivals In the standings for the first time since 1888. And the fate of circumstances involving those Georgia farm boys' Adams and wyatt might well be the margin of difference.

 United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 New York, April 22. - (UP) - Two Georgia farmers, Ace Townsend Adams of the Giants and WhitloW Wyatt of the Dodgers, viewed the new baseball season with vastly dif- ferent emotions today, both mindful that the game in which they pitched against each other yesterday may mark the turning point in their careers.
 For Adams. the busiest relief pitcher in the history of modern baseball. 1t was 8 day of elation. Given the chance he had begged for as a starting pitcher, he came through brilliantly and would have shut out had he not been the vic- time of 8 fielding lapse by first baseman Phil Weintraub.
 It was a sad day for Wyatt, the broad, bald dodger fire-baller upon whose shoulders rest whatever hopes the team may have for being a Ma tional League pennant contender. The big right handler faced five batters in the first inning, then removed himself from the game complaining of a sore arm.
 For several seasons it has been almost automatic that as Wyatt goes. so go the Dodgers. The Buchanan, Ga, speed baller, how ever. has had trouble with his arm in the spring for the past three years and if the present soreness develops into recurrence of the bursitis that laid him low last year, it could well mean the end of brilliant career. He is an "old man" as pitchers go, particularly in view of his furious speed, which wears out hurling arms faster than the dipsy-doo type of throwing. Now 36. he has been in and out of the majors since 1881. and in each of his three past sea- sons he worked in fewer games with the Dodgers.
 In 1943, he finished with a record of 10 straight victories, giving him a IA and record for the season, but he was of little use to the team until almost mid-season.
 Returning to Adams, the iron man from Iron City, Ga, may well be the making of the Giants as a pen- nant contender. provided that he is good for consistent encores of the same high standard.

BROWNIES BRING EARLY SEASON
 DIAMOND SHOCK
RY GLEN PERKMs

United Press Stan COrreSpOndenG)
 New York, April 22-(UP)-The St. Louis Browns, supposedly shy on pitching talent, were the only unbeaten team in the American league today and only one of their four victorious starters has needed help from a relief hurler.
 It would be preSumptiouS and premature to label the Browns as contenders on their performance to date, but in most preseason rat ings they were regarded as strong and seasoned combine, lacking only in first class pitchers.
 Manager Luke Sewell, one of baseball's greatest catchers before he went into retirement, is an able handler of hurlerS and with proper rotation of his starters, may be able to get more out of them than anyone had anticipated. In addi- ton to his four winners to date, Jack Kramer, Steve Sundra, Sig Jakucki and Nelson Potter, he has one of the best relief pitchers in the business, George Caster and one or two other likely starters.
 Trio of HOmers
 Potter, backed up by two homers from the bat of outfielder Mike Kreevich gave the Browns a to 3 home opening victory over the Chi cago White Sox yesterday before an inaugural crowd of 2,021. He had shutout going into the eighth inn ing when Hal Trosky hit home run with two men on base. The Sox got only six hits, three of them by outfielder Wally Moses.
 The New York Giants kept their perfect record intact in the Ma tional league, defetaing Brooklyn in the Dodgers home opener 3 to 2, with Ace Adams in the role of a starting pitcher. Adams kept the Dodgers from scoring until the sev- enth when leaky fielding permitted Dixie Walker to dribble a double that scored both their runs. The Giants went after Whitlow Wyatt in the first inning he retired after yielding 8 run. complaining of arm trouble. Rube Melton, his success sor, was fairly steady but was touched forr urns in the fourth and fifth. A crowd of 11,861 saw the game.
 Left handler Harry Brecheen gave the National League cham pion St. Louis Cardinals their sec- ond shutout in three games, doling out only four hits to spoil the Chi cago Cubs home opener 4 to O. Martin Marion hit homer for the Cards in the eighth to break up a scoreleSs hurling duel between Paul Derringer and Brecheen.
 Sewell Beaten Cincinnati won its third game in four starts, getting good pitching from Joe Beggs who was steady all the way in beating the Pirates at Pittsburgh 1 to 2.
