Show THURSDAY, MARCH 22, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1945 Seven Garden Rules Bvmg Good Harvest Seven "golden rules of victory gardening" for 1945 have been outlined by the USAC Extension Service, In an effort to aid prospective pros-pective Utah gardeners in their work this season. First of all, state the specialists, special-ists, proper planning is Important. Import-ant. Good gardens aren't luck; they're planned, and the work Isn't difficult If gardeners study Information available in garden handbooks. Through wise attention atten-tion to this phase of work, the 1 family's nutritional need3 can be accurately calculated, and the plans for the garden made accordingly. ac-cordingly. Don't waste labor, seed, and fertilizer on poor soil. As a general rule, if the soil grows a fine crop of flowers or weeds, it. will erow a earden. No garden should be planted in the shade. Third, use a good fertilizer.! Manure alone or manure plus a commercial fertilizer represents the best means of fertilizing the garden. Commercial fertilizer , without manure may mean me work nf keenine: uo the organic content of the soil with leaf mold or compost. ttsp nniv the basic tools, as a complete assortment Is a waste of money, and only a hoe, a rake, and a spade or spading fork are STAR ENRICHED FLOUR AT YOUR GROCER SPS W 1 1 like !1 bftTb necessary. Specialists emphasize proper irrigation in victory gardening. About an Inch of rainfall, such as falls In a good, heavy, half-day half-day rain, is required every week or ten days for a satisfactory growth of most vegetables. During Dur-ing dry periods a good soaking, not sprinkling, will pay big dividends, divi-dends, and access to rights on an irrigation canal will also help a lot. . ' . The last two points are cultivation culti-vation and Insect and disease control. Main purpose of cultivation culti-vation is keeping the weeds down, and too-deep cultivation may damage the plants. When the insects arrive in force, prompt action with insecticide sprays is needed to minimize their damage to the vegetables and insure maximum yields.

"Normally the employees of Utah's mining industry and those directly dependent upon it spend $15,575,000 for food, $0,400,000 for housing and $1,750,000 for clothing cloth-ing annually. "The mineral industry's normal disbursement in Utah for wages, freight and supplies amounts to $85,000,000. Of every dollar taken from Utah's mines more than 90 cents is spent right here in Utah. ! "Every citizen should cooperate at every opportunity to promote industrial expansion, which will broaden Utah's home market."

Robinson Discusses Geneva Future Discussing the future of the Geneva Steel Plant, Congressman J. Will Robinson told members of the Rotary Club at their weekly luncheon Wednesday that the Defense Plant Corporation was contemplating selling the local industrial plant at the close of the war to some concern which would keep it running. Mr. Robinson said that bids had been received from Kaiser, Colorado Fuel and Iron company and United States Steel. It was his decided opinion that the plant would stay here and con tinue to operate. Among the 45 who attended the luncheon were P. D. Nielsen, general superintendent at Geneva Gene-va and four other officials, all guests of John Feagler.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... , 0 t'.Si A U "Alf . - r .-. - a ' 1 I A. WW ""Adding another War Bond to your collection, eh, Judge?" "Yes, Josh, I've always looked upon buying Bonds ?s one of the best ways older folks like me here at home can help our fighting men overseas. For the past couple of years I've put every extra cent I had into them ... not only during the War Bond drives... but on a regular basis. Of course, when there's a ,drive on I always try to buy an extra one or two." A 'We've done the same in our family, too, Judge. Wa figure the more we buy...tia better we equip our men . . . the quicker they'll finish their big job and come marching march-ing home again." " That's the spirit, Josh. And let's be sure of one more thing. Let's be sure that they coma back to the same kind of place they left While they are away and can't express their opinions, let's not make ariy decisions on things that are going to concern them in years to come." Sugar Beets Now On Critical List Sugar beets, which have been placed on a "critical list with production of tanks, gasoline and rockets, must be planted, raised and harvested in increased increas-ed quantities over 1944 this year in Utah, Joseph Skeen, member of the Utah state AAA committee, commit-tee, declared Saturday. "The war department, through G. Alvin Carpenter, state labor supervisor, has announced that adequate supplemental labor will be provided in Utah this year," Mr. Skeen said. "The allotted 2000 prisoners of war and 1100 Mexican nationals, along with organized groups of school children chil-dren and the regular farm workers, work-ers, should insure a labor force adequate to meet any situation. "This leaves 'the farmer with no excuse for not planting beets,1 he warned. "If at least 45,000 acres of beets are not . seeded, Utah's agricultural enterprises will have failed in an important war assignment." Mr. Skeen pointed out that the required figure is "not unreasonable." unreason-able." Although it is a 32 increase in-crease over last year's plantings, it is still under the 51,000 average acreage seeded from 1938-41 and is about the same acreage harvested har-vested in 1943. "Farmers have been assured that factories will contract up to 50,000 acres this year an acreage acre-age recommended by the AAA as good for farming rotation in view of the 1942-44 crop his tory," he continued. Fieldmen of various sugar companies will begin contracting acreage in the near future. All farmers who have land suitable for beet planting should sign up at once, others should prepare additional land wherever possible. pos-sible. Growers will realize a good profit on properly raised beets this year, he reported. Recently, growers and processors agreed on price rates which will insure a return at least as great as last year. A more stable labor sup-, ply, which will eliminate labor "pirating" and excessive costs, should make operations more remunerative. In conclusion, Mr. Skeen asked farmers of the state to take into consideration this statement by the war food administration and then prepare to plant sugar beets. "American sugar stocks are at an all time low. No surpluses exist ex-ist for sugar anywhere . . . and none will be created by an early end of the war in Europe or the Pacific." Sugar beet growers may contact con-tact Gordon' W. Clarfc, American Fork, field representative, Utah-Idaho Utah-Idaho Sugan company, for North Utah county, to have contracts signed or for information regarding re-garding any phase of sugar beet growing. in ,4' Mitiae Corps Photo Marine half-tracks, paid for by your war bonds, move up to the firing fir-ing line on Saipan.
