j Garden, Menus
: Could Handily be
Planned Together
Where conditions of soil and
air favor the growing of veget
ables, the smallest Victory Gar
den that should be planted may
be considered one sufficient to
supply the family with fresh
vegetables during the period of
harvest.
In a home garden, from which
" many vegetables can be taken
' when they are half mature, the
harvest season ought to continue
for four months. How many
vegetables will a family of four
eat during that period?
Excluding potatoes, which are
not a crop for small gardens, a
,' cooked vegetable for luncheon,
plus one cooked vegetable nnd
! one raw salad for dinner, will
provide an abundance of these
protective foods for the average
diet.
The most important problem
, for a Victory gardener to solve is
' what vegetables to grow, and
? how much of each, to provide this
ration. And the difficulty Is to
determine in advance what his
family will eat.
Suggestion For List
As a basis for planning, bore
. is a l.'ft of the most nutritious
vegetables which can be grown in
Vicotry Gardens; Following each
vcpclable is given the number of
feet in a'garden row which must
be i.lantcd to produce one dish
sufficient to serve four persons:
Slringlcss Beans, 1 ft.; Lima
beans, 2 ft.; Beets, 1 ft.; Broccoli,
1 it.; Brussels sprouts, 1 ft.; Cm
.. rots, 1 ft.; Collards, 1 ft.; Sweet
' corn, 4 ft.; Cucumbers. 2 ft.; Egg
: plant, 1 ft.; Endive, 1 ft.; Kale, 1
" ft.; Lettuce, 1 ft.; Spring onions,
1 ft.; Parsley, 1 ft.; Parsnips, 2
ft.; Peas, 2 ft.; Peppers, 1 ft.;
New Zealand spinach, 1 ft.; Spin
ach, 3 ft.; Squash, 3 ft.; Swiss
Chard, 1 ft.; Tomatoes, 1 ft.; Tur
nips, 11 ft.
Perhaps some vegetables which
you like arc not on this list. If
so, they have been omitted for
one of two reasons: Either they
are difficult to grow, or lack nu
tritive value. In place of cabbage,
cauliflower and celery, their rich
ly nutritious counterparts, col
lards and broccoli arc listed.
. By deciding how many times
you will serve each vegetable in
J four months, and multiplying this
i number by the length of row re
' quired for each dish, you will
know just how much to plant.

CLUBS
411 club members who have
been raising Chlneso pheasants
for the game commission during
the piiwt several years have been
advised that the game commission
expects to have eggs for them
about May 20. The quota of oggs,
according to County Club Agent
E. A. Britton, has been reduced
by about two-thirds. The Dougl is
county members will receive only
1500 eggs instead of more than
4000 as received before. A ques
tionnaire is being sent out to each
club member asking whether or
not they "want the eggs at that
late date and how many they will
want. It is unlikely that any
new members will be allowed to
carry this project for this year.
A group of boys and girls of
Yoncalla have taken up 4-H club
projects which they will carry as
individuals. They have been un
able this far to secure a leader,
so each one will work by him
self. Those who have requested
material are: Rodney Joslyn,
sheep; Marshall Merk, ducks and
calf; Vernon Rapcr, chickens; An
na Huntington, rabbits; Jack
Hamilton, pigeon: Louise Merk,
rabbit; John Mcfiinitip, sheep and
garden; and Louise Merk, chick
ens. The local leaders of Wilbur are
holding a meeting next Wednes
day afternoon at 3:30. County
Club Agent Britton will be pres
ent to discuss the exhibit of all
completed projects. In all proba
bility there vill be meetings soon
of leaders in other communities.
County Club Agent Britton is

Probably no food Is so univer
sally enjoyed for pure satisfac
tion in eating as yejlfw, sweet
corn on the cob. .Americans are
ridiculed abroad .for chewing
their corn off the cob, but we all
pity anyone who hasn't stacked a
pile of cobs on the I' side of his
plate too many, to count, per
haps. It's hard to stop when this
delicious food is; around; isn't it?
Corn cans well' and also freezes
well. Corn can be frozen cut or on
the cob, but locker space is best
conserved when frozen cut. Let's
plan for lots of canned and frozen
corn next winter.
And don't forget the whole
some and delicious popcorn for
pleasant winter gatherings. We
ought to have fewer malnourish
ed children next year, with less
sweels and candy to take away
their appetites for plain whole
some food. Let's serve more pop
corn. It is so good and can well
replace some of the excess sugar
on which Americans have been
hazarding their teeth.
Satin-Fruit Moth
Barriers Changed
Three Oregon quarantine or

Oriental friiit moth, have been
revised by the stale department
of agriculture with the approval
of Governor Sprague and the
changes will be effective April 15.

-Benton, Clackamas. Clatsop,
Columbia, Douglas, Hood River,

Wait for Warm
Soil Before You
Set Out Beans
Beans, one of the Victory Gar
den's most important crops,
should not be planted until tiic
ground is warm. They are very
tender to frost or to cold cutting
winds in their younger stages.
Gardens with light, warm sandy
soil can get an ealier bean start
than those with heavy colder soil.
The first crop, in which we take
a gamble with the weather,
should be given the warmest, mel
lowest, and best drained patch in
the garden. Later on when the
frost danger is past it will make
little difference, as the bean is
the most obliging of vegetables
and will even produce a fair crop
in positions much more shaded
than some other vegetables will
tolerate.
The choice of varieties is first
of all whether you want to grow
green beans or wax beans. Both
have their advocates as to su
periority of flavor. Then you n ay
choose whether you want a round
podded or a flat podded bean.
Some claim the round pods are
more tender than the flat, al
though there seems no sound bas
is for the argument.
there are numerous excellent
varieties from which to choose
nad almost any sort offered by a
reliable seed house will give ex
cellent results.
How To Avoid Rust
The one warning concerning
their cultivation is not to work
the patch while the leaves of the
beans are wet, either with dew
or from rain. Rust seems to fol
low. A rust spotted pod ruins it
j for culinary use and this is about
to a pod bean.
Pole beans arc the heaviest
yielders of the family, and in the
small garden will give more food
for the space occupied than any
other crop.
They are later in season and
more tender than bush beans.
They should not be planted until
the weather is settled and the
ground warm. Plant six to eight
seeds in a hill and thin out to the
four strongest. The hills should
be two feet apart.
The secret of quality and abun
dant yield in pole beans is to pick
them when half mature and keep
the vines picked clean. Kentucky
Wonder is a favorite pole variety.
It will produce pods ten inches
long, if you wish, but these pods
will have strings. If they are
picked half grown the strings will
not bother and the quality will be
much better.
Parasites Found
Serious in Moist
Sheep Pastures
Recent experiments with at
tempts to fatten lambs in western
Oregon on irrigated pastures
have not proved very promising,
according to a report made by
Doctors J. N. Shaw and O. H.
Muth of the department of vet
erinary medicine at Oregon State
college, in a new bulletin entitled
"Studies of Parasites in Oregon
Sheep on Irrigated Pastures."
Because of the success that
California sheepmen have had in
fattening range lambs on irri
gated ladino clover pastures,
sheepmen in Oregon have sought
information on similar practices
here. Veterinarians realized from
the start that the limiting factor
would be parasites, which thrive
best under irrigated conditions.
In the test carried on, these
parasites did prove to be the
chief handicap to success. Only
eight out of r lambs under t"st
became fat in 126 days on irri
galed ladino clover pastures. A
death loss of 17 of the lambs re
sulted from parasitism. The
small stomach worm and small
intestinal worm were the worst
parasites, although five other
kinds were found.
The Investigational work re
ported on in ihe bulletin is still
incomplete, but the results were
so significant that the report
was issued in the hope that it
might aid farmers in avoiding
losses, says William A. Schoen- j
fcld. dean and director of agricul-1
ture.
Ranchers Cooperate to
Keep Road Work Going
ENTERPRISE, Ore.. April 13.
(API Wallowa county ranch
ers are bringing back the old co
operative roadworking plan to
help the county offset a wartime
equipment shortage.
New grading machinery' is un
available and repairs arc not
easily obtainable for old equip
ment so the county has built
drags of heavy timbers which
carry a steel blade from old grad
ers. One man in a community is de-
signated as custodian of the drag
and neighbors borrow it to grade
dirt roads in their districts, using
their own tractors and sometimes
horses.

The material that mafia tha irt
of selective spray a practical pro
cess is a cnemical dyestuff with
the imnossihle namn nf cnrUnm
dinitro-ortho-cresyiate, a commer
cial torm of which is sold under
the trade name of Sinox. The ef
fectiveness of this material was
enormously increased, however,
by the addition at the experiment
station of the common fertilizer,
ammonium sulphate.
Grass Growth Aided
The combination is not only a
more effective weed killer than
the Sinox alone, but it also stimu
lates the growth of the crop to
which it is applied. Common rye
grass has been increased as much
as 300 pounds of seed per acre,
fiber flax one ton or more per
acre, and grain yields increased
as much as three to 45 bushels.
While developing the best com
binations of spray to use, the ex
periment station men have also
worked out practical equipment
for applying the spray. Pictures
and description of such equip
ment are included in the bulletin.
The cost of the recommended
spray solution depends on a num
ber of factors, although the ma
terfal cost averages from $1.25 to
$2.75. pet. acre, depending on the
crop toe treated, size of plants,
and , Weather conditions at the
time of; application. Cost of actu
ally applying the solution will ap
proximate 50 cents per acre.

For Long War,
AM Chief Says
More conservation farming on
more farms than ever before Is
needed if agriculture meets pro
duction goals this year and for
the duration of the war, 1200 Ore
gon AAA county and community
committeemen were advised this
week in a letter from Fred S.
Wallace, national chief of AAA.
Conservation practices are
needed that will get greater and
wiser production not only this
year, but more production per
acre and per farm next year and
for the duration, Wallace advised
the committeemen. He called on
the committeemen to do two
things to carry out agriculture's
war production task:
1. Use every method of adjust
ment to get the right amount of
each product, without waste.
2. Use every method of conser
vation to increase yields this year
and build up the soil for bigger
output next year.
"We were in the last war only
19 months, and yet agriculture
was barely able to get by disre
garding the future by reckless
ly plowing up additional acres,
by shooting up too much of our
ammunition in the first wild vol
ley," Wallace's letter continued.
"This time we cannot possibly get
the needed production simply
through a plough-up spree."
Oregon farmers and ranchers,
cashing in on soil fertility built
up through conservation work in
recent years, have a running
start on this year's production
goals, Robert B. Taylor, chairman
of the Oregon AAA committee,
points out. Citing the increased
interest in pasture and rango im
provement practices, and the big
demand for lime and phosphate
through the AAA program, Tay
lor believes that Oregon farmers
are laying a foundation for heav
ier production for as long as the
war lasts.
