DR.. Patterson also suggested that
rural and urban schools might OPP
crate Victory garden as part of
the training program. When such
gardens are properly planned and
cared for, they often supply large
part of the fresh and processed
vegetables for the school lunches
throughout the year.
Instead of simply gorwing gar
den, DR.. Patterson urged Victory
gardeners to try to grow in them
enough food to meet large part
of the famil yneeds for fresh veg
etables throughout the growing sea-
son. SURPRISES, he says, should
be preserved by canning, brining,
drying, or storing. He pointed out
that too many families grow gar
dens that do not produce enough
vegetables to justify the use of seed
and tools and the time spent on
them. He believes this is due
largely to poor planning and lack
of continued enthusiasm. Thus
some gardens grow up in weeds,
dry out for lack of proper water
ing, or become mess halls" for in
sects.
DR.. Patterson says that new gar
deners can get information from
experienced neighbors who have
gardens, from the local vocational
agriculture teacher, or from the
State Extension Service at the
State agricultural college. However.
he lists a few don'ts from the
u. S. Department of Agriculture
publication, " Growing Vegetables
in Town and City" They are:
DON'T try to grow a garden on
a lot that is too por to grow weeds,
or that is made up of rubble, coal
and cinders, or that is shaded for
the greater part of the day. Don't
spade or plo wsoil that is too wet
Don't apply too much lime. Don't
run rows up and down a slope.
Don't plant seed, roots, or tubers
too deeply Don't let fertilizer or
manure come ncontact with seeds
or plants, and don't let any vegeta-
bleS go to waste.

available single men between Is
and rs, followed by pre-Pearl Har-
Dor fathers between 19 and 26. to
be followed by available men be-
tween 26 and 81, inclusive, who
are non-fathers. followed lastly by
those fathers between &c and 81,
inclusive. who are available.
Colonel Long, the state director,
stated that in his opinion the last
registrant to be selected for service
at this time would be a pre-Pearl
Harbor father trained in a scarce
skill, occupying such position in
war production or agriculture who
would be about q to 81 years of
age.

Patterson Urges
Negroes To Have
More Gardens

Dr.. F. D. Patterson, president of
Tuskegee Institute and special as
sistant to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, said this week that the plant
ing of bigger and better wartime
gardens viii depend largely on
town and city residents, since the
nations farmers, working long
hours short-handed, have just about
reached their limits in growing Vic
tory gardens.
Pointing out that this years goal
calls for 100000 gardens, from
which should be harvested 10000
600 tons of vegetables, DR.. Patter-
son said that most of the 1000 900
new gardens and a comparable
part of the IS per cent increase in
garden production over 1943 figures
must be grown in towns and CT
ties, because nearly all of the ma
tons 100000 farmers, Negro and
white, are already growing gar
dens.
In emphasizing the need for the
increased Victory garden produc-
ton, the college head said in
creased food supplies are needed
for our millions of fighting men
and our allies, for our civilian pop
ulation here at home, which is do
ing an important job in this war,
for our friendly neighbors and for
the peoples whom our armies liber-
ate from Axis aggression. All of
these liberated peoples must be
adequately fed, he pointed out, so
that they can join in the fight and
hasten the day of victory.
Dr. Patterson estimated that g.
100000 Negro families had gardens
last year. He is expecting an addi-
tional 100000 Negro families, prin-
cipally in villages, towns, and SUI
burban areas of cities, to plant gar
dens this year. He also expects
Negro farmers to further increase
the number and size of their gar
dens this year, although 100000 OF
the $4,000 Negro farmers had gar
dens last year.
To meet the problem of finding
suitable ground for gardens in
towns and cities, DR.. Patterson sug-
gests that urban groups organize
community garden projects. anC
rent vacant lots, secure permission
to use areas along railroad tracks
or rent an acre or two from far
mer living on the edge of town
He says that community garden
projects with space allotted to in.
