LINCOLN A representative
group attended the March meet
ing of the Lincoln - Community
. club f or . which Mr. and - Mrs- FL
W. Hammer and" Mr. and Mrs. El
wood Cooper were the committee
n arrangemenu.
. Mrs. R. W.. Hammer presided as
-chairman' at the business meeting
when Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Allen
and Mr. and Mrs. Jess .Williams
were nominated as a committee
for April.
The program numbers included
a piano solo by Audrey Merrick; a
, two-act play, !When : We Ride a
, Bicycle,', by the primary gradesfj
accordion selections by Lois Ham
mer; a patriotic play, "Stop That
Rumer, by upper grades; song
and march ending with flag salute
by all of the school children with
Mrs. L.-1. Mickey directing school
numbers; violin solo and encore
by Ardon Shepard; a talk on vic
tory gardens and community lead
ers by L. I. Mickey, local repre
sentative, who is one of a group
including R. W. Hammer, Mrs.- I.
lu. Merrick and Mrs. Lloyd Alien.
Mickey aald in part, "County
' Agent W. C. Leth helped us
to organize here. We have a dif
ferent situation here than ever
before because of war condi
tions. The civilian population,
f-tf At 1 At A
, npecuuj (nose in , inc country,
will have to produce as much as
possible. .Twenty-five per cent
: more of all types of food will be
needed than last year. We are
' asked," said Mickey, "to produce .
extensive farm gardens and con
serve everything possible."
To make this easier, bulletins
are issued by the government
through the community leaders of
the county on planting essential
foodstuffs. Five different vegeta
bles are stressed: potatoes, toma
toes, green such as spinach, chard,
. peas, beans and yellow vegetables
Including carrots, pumpkin, and
squash. The speaker also gave a
. brief sketch of meat conserving
' possibilities on the farm.
' Following Mickey's talk, a rep
resentative . of the U. S. employ
ment service, . C. R. Wilson ad
dressed the group on "Farm La
bor." .
"The farm labor situation is a
serious problem and a confusing
one." stated Mr. Wilson. "It is hard
to find men, as so many are in the
war and in defense plants. This
year, men in employment in the
cities are being organized to do
what they can at harvest time. In
seasonal work such as harvesting
berries, cherries, prunes, beans,
. peas, hops, etc., women's and chil
' dren's assistance was invaluable.
They did a splendid job last year
and can be depended upon for this
vear's croDS " L

on the Inestimable value and

Gardeners Told
NoNeedTr&at
Seed Potatoes W
Treatment of seed potatoes for
planting in. home gardens is not
so ' important '. as .when plantings
are made for commercial pur
poses and in ; most cases can be
omitted entirely without danger,
according to County Agent Rob
ert E. Rieder. Some gardening ad
vice published"recentlyl has raised
doubt in 1 the minds of a number
of victory gardeners as tcj-whether
they can grow potatoes with
out treating the seed. If piey use
good seed to start with there jis
little to , fear,' says Rieder. j
The latest home garden sugges
tions on potato growing just put
out by E. R. Jackman, extension
specialist in farm crops, and O.
T. McWhorter, extension horticul
turist, says that if . a home gar
dener does want to treat; a small
amount of seed potatoes, a mater
ial known as semesan veil is much
easier to use than the Corrosive
sublimate treatment used by com
mercial growers. Directions are on
the container. j !
, Potatoes grown from Untreated
seed may not be free from scab
and rizoctonia as treated potatoes,
but they . will be edible snd will
yield as well. If seed potatoes are
poor to start with, no amount of
treatment will help much. Certi
fied seed comes from fields that
are practically free of disease, j
-Early potato varieties suggested
for Oregon home gardeners are
Bliss Triumph, Irish Cobbler,
Early Rose, Earliest-of-AU, and
White Rose Suggested late varie
ties are Bur bank, jetted Gem and
Katahdin.
-Whole small seed potatoes from
certified stock are entirely satis
factory to use, while larger pota
toes are cut so the pieces will
weigh l' to 2 ounces. The best
plan is to cut them into blqcky
shapes, as these have the least
amount of exposed cut surface.
The home gardener is limited in
his choice of commercial ferti
lizer to the standard victory gar
den 3-8-7 mixture. This can be
spread over the entire surface of
the soil at the rate of four pounds
to . the square" rod and worked in,
or an ounce of fertilizer; may be
placed near but never against) the
seed piece at planting time. It is
best to keep two or three inches
to one side and preferably about
an inch deeper than the seed piece.
