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.

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. There is hard-

lettuce or corn or a row or
two of cabbage.
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.

agricultural education at the Uni

tion, insect control, irrigation and
plant lore. As soon as one class

! 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
