gardeners to water II they can. II
that Is impracticable use mulching
materials-weeds, grass clippings,
anything that Is available. Pile the
mulch around the most important
crops-tomatoes, beans, cabbage,

While the garden soil is dry 1t will
pay to start many Of the crops for

that can be kept shaded and
watered. II those plants are not

It seems that a couple of women workers were heard discussing the well-known struggle to make ends meet, and one of them allowed as how things were tough, even with the addition of cashing in her bond every time she got one. This un- patriotic practice came in for Its Yightful share of criticism, but a nketchy canvass of the assembled workers and a bit of supplement tary questioning revealed that a surprising number of people prac- flee the systematic conversion of their bonds into cash for freer spending-not for emergencies, you understand. They feel that by buy ing the bond and keeping the com pany percentage of purchasers high they are discharging their obliga- tions.
