MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1942. PAGE FIVE El VITAL BUSINESS FORJMAIIANS No Food Shortage But Fresh Vegetables Are Scarce Land Is Very Fertile. Honolulu, T. H. (U.PJ The people of Hawaii are growing victory gardens, too, and it's no hobby with them it's a serious business. There is no food shortage in the territory, but there is a distinct scarcity of fresh vege tables. When the nearest mar ket is about 2,415 miles away, you tend your peas and beans with infinite care and wage determined warfare upon the bugs attempting to cheat you out of your hard-earned greens. Despite the fertility of the land there has been very little truck farming on the islands.

E ENTERTAINERS AT VICTORY CENTER Uncle Wickle's popular ama teur performers met with such spontaneous approval last Satur day in their entertainment at Victory Center that the commit tee in charge of entertainment has invited them back for a sec ond showing tomorrow night. The group, headed by Uncle Wickie, is being brought to the Center through the courtesy of Fluhrer s bakery of this city. Entertainment Is being pro vided each Saturday night from 7:30 to 8:30 p. m. at Victory Center to remind the public to buy war stamps and bonds. Each of the entertainers person ally donates his or her time to the cause. A full hour's program will be in line tomorrow night and, ac cording to Uncle Wickie, there will be fun for young and old alike. Some of the army men will entertain as well as a seven-year-old Hawaiian singer. W. A. Gates and Glenn Jackson head the committee in charge. It was found long ago that pine apples and sugar cane were the most profitable crops and that vegetables could be obtained with reasonable economy either froien or In cans from the main land. Communities Garden The war changed all that. The Japanese attack of De cember 7 inspired immediate formation of a committee to foster development of home gardens to insure a supply of fresh vegetables for the entire population. The results, even in six months, are amazing. Everyone that has a few square feet of earth has made it into a garden.

The acreage devoted to school gardens alone has Increased nearly SO per cent and in all five districts of Honolulu, nnv munity gardens have been de veloped. The second crop at the Ka piolani community garden was harvested three months after it was planted by the 40 different families living in the neighbor hood and the third crop has been planted. The one and third quarter acres already have yield ed sweet corn, broccoli, beets, carrots, onions and several va rieties of beans, tomatoes, tur nips and lettuce. Dr. F. E. Armstrong, director of the Honolulu victory gar dens, estimates that more than 20 acres have been put under cultivation for community gar dens besides the hundreds of home plots tended so carefully by their developers. Shortage Develops The city park board did its share by allowing home garden ers to take over what was once a frog farm and then supplied pipe for Irrigation of the plots Service clubs in the city were quick to grasp the idea and now each has its own garden. The American Legion sponsored a Boy Scouts garden and the Junior Chamber of Commerce members grabbed the hoes and laid out one of their own. Dr. Armstrong, professor of agricultural education at the Uni versity of Hawaii, arranged "1 n In ..nlmln. I.

Also there Is a technical advisory ! committee consisting of plant specialists who answer any and all questions concerning truck gardening I There is no way of estimating I the total vegetable production I in the Territory as a result of these gardens but suffice to say that the two greatest shortages in Honolulu today are seeds and beer, In the order named. SPLIT BY RAIN Some cherries of the lesser varieties such as Tartarians and Black Republicans were cracked by recent rains, but the main crops have not ripened suffici ently to be damaged. Assistant County Agent C. B. Cordy re ported today. Some cherry picking la now underway. Considerable hay was hit by the rains and a number of stands of barley were beaten down in various sections. Hay cutting has been suspended until clearing skies return. The pears now look better than they did earlier, fruitmen report. The prospects are for the same sized crop as last year z,300 cars.
