EAR FRIENDS: We are to- have
a corner here, where we can dis
cuss our war gardens just as we
do when he are out hoeing in our back
yards In the pleasant bright morning.
or the lovely warm evenings after din
ner. I have helped make a garden every
season for more than 40 years, and it
is always a delight and -inspiration to
me every Spring. There is something
about the Springtime that calls every
one of us Insistently to go out and dig
In the ground At least, it calls all of
us who have not lost our childhood
love of nature and sympathy with her.
If there are any who have, I want to
assure you It Is a larger loss to your
happiness than you realize. There is
real Joy in helping the infinite pro
duce life and growth, that is one of the
finest pleasures of life.
This year, however, there ls no need
for me to urge you to make a garden
Even If you don't love the work as I
do. you will all do it as a duty to your
country and tho world. It seems like a
little thing for us to cultivate our own
backyards, but the total of this pro
duction in the cities and towns all
over the United States is not a little
thing. If each city could raise Its own
"garden truck," think of the amount
of land and more especially the amount
of labor, that would be released to raise
the crops needed by the world. Think
of that! Do. we can we realize that
part of the world will starve this year
unless we of America feed them? If
we really get that down into our con
sclousness there will be no question
abuut our making war gardens, and as
large ones as we possibly can.'
Much Land Available.
It probably is not possible for all of
the people who live in Portland to
make war gardens. Some, particularly
on the West Side, live In houses and
apartments where there is not a foot
of ground to be had for cultivation
But homes out from the congested area
on the West Side, and practically every
home on the East Side, can have more
or less land for gardens. If we who
can do so make our gardens produce
twice what we shall need in our own
families, we will have a surplus to sup
ply those who cannot make gardens
in our city, and will release the farm
ers and market gardeners around us,
who usually raise vegetables for our
city market, so that they can raise only
what the Government needs for export.
If these farmers can't all raise wheat,
most of them can raise buckwheat,
barley, rye and corn, which are just
as necessary as wheat substitutes. Or,
at least, they can raise navy beans
and vegetables which can be processed
In the big canneries for our soldiers
or dried or "dehydrated" fof export
The foundation of all our gardening
Is the soil, and our soil here in Port
land is. In the main, very good and
fertile. In places where It is not, fer
tilizer can be applied so that vegetables
will grow almost any place here.
1 remember reading an article by a
great fruitgrower in Western Michi
gan, in which he said that he preferred
a clear sand sqil with almost no fer
tility, so that he could supply the fer-
fertilizer and labor In working It up
to a good state of cultivation. We are
not all looking for "soft snaps" and
"easy joEs" Just now In other ways,
so why should we not go at a poor
piece of ground with all the more de
termination to meet the needs of the
hour?
Each Sunday I shall try to tell you
definitely just what seems to me most
important to be done during the com
ing week; and I shall expect to have
many letters and inquiries from you.

When you have decided on the loca
tion and size of yo ir bed, dig down
about a foot In the ground and remove
the earth to that depth from the bot
tom of the bed. Then take some oia
boards or pieces of boxes and lnclofe
your bed, putting a stout stake at each
corner, and one in the middle If you
wish to piece your boards. It would
be well to nail on a double thickness of
boards, so that al! cracks are covered,
and extra warmth secured. The box
when done should be not over three

to vour mind the reasons for the fall- feet.. wide. so 'ou c.an r??c? acro.ss U
ures in last year's gardens that , you
want to remedy this year, etc. Also,
I know you will be glad to pass on the
helpful things you found out by your
own experience last year, for those
who are just beginning this work. I
will answer what questions I can my
self and find out for you the answers
to the others. We must all try to be
helpful to one another, when this work
is of such great consequence to our
country.
We must take advantage of all the
help offered us. I am sure the great
meeting at the Auditorium today will
do much good. Let us all be there If
possible.
Free Addresses Planned.
Professor Center, of the Oregon Ag
ricultural College, will give two ad
dresses in Meier & Frank's auditorium
each week for probably a month on the
preparation and care of war gardens.
All of us who can must go and hear
him. The Meier & Frank auditorium
seats 400 people, and the first lecture
(free to all) will be given next Tues
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. All the
newspapers and magazines also will
be full of garden helps, some of which
will apply to citizens of the Northwest.
We will read and listen with great In
terest, but in the main it is safest to
give most of our interest and time to
the plain fundamental foods that are
not difficult to raise and that thrive
here. It is to these that our attention
in garden work will be mainly directed.
and I hope not to leave you as soon as
your seeds are in the ground and the
Spring drive for making war gardens
is over, but to labor with you ttirougn
the rain and drouth and the insect
pests of all kinds that we must learn
to meet and overcome.
And we can do so, never fear. If you
know a few simple and easily under
stood things about a garden you can
come out victorious in the hall with a
garden of which you will be proud and
that will excite the admiration of all
beholders. C
Hotbed Is Inexpensive.
This week I want to tell you about
about a combined hotbed and cold
frame, which we have made and used
many years. It is not at all handsome or
artistic and not recommended In the
books and colleges so far as 1 know,
but it is practical and Inexpensive: it
is very easy to make and operates per
fectly in this Western climate. Every
family who is going to have a war gar
den should have one of these for rais
ing their own plants. It is easy to do,
it is so much cheaper than to buy them,
and you can have much better and
stockier plants by taking a little pains
with them yourself. This is very vital
to the amount of production or your
garden later.
A Home-Made Hotbed.
Select some good vacant space on the
south -side of the house or some other
building and make your hotbed with
its back against the building to con
serve the reflected sunlight and heat.
The space covered by the bed does not
need to be large from four ,to eight
feet long by two and one-half to three
easily), about two feet high In front,
and the sides should slope up about six
Inches higher In the back, like an old
fashioned woodbox. It can be as long
as you desire.
Little Protection Needed.
Next, we must have a piece of heavy
cloth, a yard or more wide, so as to
cover the slanting top and hang down
a little. An old piece of denlrn or bed
ticking is just the thing. Take some
strips of lath and nails, putting the
lath over one edge of the cloth, nail It
along the house as high as the top of
the back of your box. Then we must
have a medium-sized pole, the length
of the box. To this pole tack carefully
the other edge of the cloth, and let It
roll down over the lower edge of the
box. This holds the cloth firmly and
rolls up easily when you wish to open
your hotbed. Arrange cloth loops, or
nail supports, etc., to hold the pole se
curely in place when rolled up, and
your hotbed is ready to fill.
For this you must have fresh horse
manure, which should be easy to ob
tain anywhere in the city where horses
are kept. Be careful to get that as free
from sawdust as possible Hut a layer
about two feet to two and one-half feet
thick in the bottom of your box, having
It rest right on the ground at the bot
tom. Pack this down all you can Make
it as firm as possible. Over thl place
your soil, about six Inches deep. This
must be the very best soli In your gar
den, preferably a dark, rich loam, but
in any case it must be sifted through a
piece of coarse wire netting, to remove
all stones, sticks, etc., and to break up
all lumps. The top of the dirt should
be about four inches below the top of
the box. Now our hofbed ls ready for
planting and we will roll down the cur
tain to keep in the heat and keep out
the rain, and leave it until next Sun
day, when we will take up the question
or planting it.
Vegetables Very Essential.
We are going to plant tomatoes, let
tuce, celery and early cabbage next
week, and a little later early cauli
flower and peppers. I assure you they
will grow here and make splendid
plants by the time you have trans
planted them, and gotten them ready
for the garden. All the care this hot
bed needs is to roll up the curtain on
pleasant days, roll It down at night,
keep it down in bad weather, and water
it occasionally.
The manure will ferment and give
you much heat at first, which brings
your young plants up beautifully, as
the heat dies out later your hotbed be
comes a cold-frame, which Is Just what
you will 'want at that season of the
year. The curtain at night and In bad
weather gives all the protection neces
sary in this climate.
I hope you will all try this. It is
most interesting and profitable work.
Please write me all the questions and
comments that you desire. They don't
need to be great things. The little,
simple things are usually what make
the difference between success and fail
ure in making a garden, so I hope you
r.iU all write freely to
