Co-ordinatOr
For Freedom
Gardens Urged
By jones BirchfieId

Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
sons goal of 100000 Freedom
gardens this year to fight hunger
abroad and high living costs at
home is receiving the support of
garden leaders throughout the Ma
ton. However. many Washington
residents who might grow a Free
dom garden will be unable to do
so unless an emergency program,
similar to the Victory garden pro-
gram during the war, is launched
Immediately.
The need for homegrown food
this year has been well attested by
National leaders. At a National
Garden Conference held here last
week, Secretary of State Marshall
described the world food situation as
more critical than during the war.
He said the United States should
ship as much food as possible abroad
to relieve suffering.
Home vegetable gardens this year
will relieve pressures on scarce COM
modities, aid in reducing domestic
food costs, serve as a check on in
flation, raise the nutritional stand
ard and afford a means of recrea-
ton.
Speedy Action Required.
II Washington is to play its full
part in the Freedom garden pro-
gram plans must be made now. It is
hardly month now until planting
season begins, and between now
and then vacant land for commun-
ity gardens must be located, plowing
facilities must be found and means
of coordination must be set up
whereby the gardener can be as
signed plot of ground.
An idea Of the Importance of
gardening to Washington residents
may be had by a review of the
Victory garden program which was
directed by J. Morton Franklin dur
ing the war.
Mr.. Franklin. recalled that 125
acres of vacant land was cut up into
garden plots and that these plots
plus backyard gardens" accounted
for more than $4,000 Victory gar
dens
If these gardens produced an av-
erage of $75 worth of food-the
amount agriculture officials esti-
mate the average garden will pro-
duce-then District gardeners real
lied total of more than $3.50, 900
a year during the program. This
represents heavy slash in the food
budget in any city.
Long Range Aid Suggested.
While the immediate need is for
food production, 1t is the consensus
of garden leaders and Agriculture
Department officials that interest
in gardening, both vegetable and
ornamental, :. in Washington war
rants a long-range program.
This would include setting UP a
gardening or horticulture depart
ment III the District government
and the hiring of full-time expert
who would cooperate with the Ag-
riculture Department in advising
and assisting Washington garden
ers. It has been estimated that
such q department could be oper-
ated on a budget of from $1,000 to
$4,000 a year.
The large number Of garden clubs
and organizations indicate the in
terest here in gardening and horti-
culture.
And many leaders of these or
eanizations have pointed out time
and again that Washington, as the
capital Of one of the worlds great
est Nations, should also be one OF
the worlds most beautiful cities.
This may be furthered to a great
extent through the promotion OF
horticulture.

In recent years we nave hearc
much about the plant diseases that
survive winters in the soil, about
nematodes and other pests which
infest the earth in which we are
trying to grow plants. Crop rota.
ton and the addition of lime will
control them to some extent, but
generally our space is too limited tt
accomplish much in the way o1
crop rotation. We garden rather
intensively and the purchase o.
manure and plants from various
sources sooner or later introduces
some OF these troubles.
The nematode problem is es-
pecially bad in some rose gardens
It Is not uncommon to find two OF
more bushes in shipment whose
roots carry the gals of the nema-
tode. Once introduced into the
rose bed they spread rapidly, es-
|pecially If the soil has been prop
eriy enriched with manure ano
compost.
The control problem has not been
easy. The sterilization Of soil fol
fats and pots has been bit simpler
but we have taken the easier way
using sphagnum moss, vermiculite
etc., rather than one of the recon-
mended treatments. Seedlings
grown in these materials are prac.
tically immune to the "damping.
off" fungus disease which was ar
almost universal disease problem fol
plant growers.
The Formaldehyde Treatment.
However, formaldehyde dust
mixed with the potting soil gave
very good results, much better thar
formalin. and was easier to handle
One and one-half ounces of the
dust per square foot of soil (2la tx

gives very good control.
This was much more convenient
than the hot-water treatment which
consisted of pouring 2 to 21a gal
Ions of boiling water per square
foot of fiat or seed bed.
Some gardeners chose rather tt
bake the soil in an oven for two o.
three hours (until a medium-sizec
potato buried in the center wal
baked. The odors from soil thu
baked usually ran every one ou

Semesan is a proprietary com
pound for mixing with the soil II

hyde dust. 1t worked we'll in tht

tecting the seedlings. Some usee

Tear Gas Effective.
The commercial plant growers
turned to steam to sterilize theil
plant beds and found it an eficien
means of controlling diseases. How
ever, it is too expensive for thu
home gardener.
