project last lotion.
Proparod by the U. 8. Depart
ment of Agriculture' for NEA
Sorvice
Farmers town, city and sub
urban dwellers and those who
Ixivc uccess to community or al
lotment type garden plots, all
have been assigned important
parts in the Victory garden drive
of 104a.
Every farm family has been
called upon by Secretary of
Agriculture Claude K. Wickord,
who heads the national food pro
gram, to produce its entire sup
ply of vegetables, both fresh and
processed, and as much fruit as
possible this year. Where pos
sible, farm gardens also are ex
pected to produce vegetables for
nearby markets. For maximum
results, it will be necessary for
farmers in the north to grow
something In their gardens from
early spring to hard-freezing
weather, whilo farmers in the
south can make their maximum
contribution to the nation's food '
needs by growing vegetables the
yeor around;
MOHE FRUIT NEEDED
Town, city and. suburban
dwellers who have sufficient
open, sunny space and fertile
ground are being asked to grow
a largo supply of vegetables for
home consumption. Suburban
home ownQts also should plant
more fruit, especially small
fruits wherever space permits.
People living in cities and
closely built areas usually will
not have tiic space for fertile
soil sufficient for a considerable
quantity of vegetables. These
are encouraged to seek commun
ity or allotment gardens on resi
dential outskirts or vacant indus
trial property, accessible by bus
or trolley, to develop garden
Army TrM of
On Sedition
TACOMA, April 28 (?) An
army general court martial of
2nd Lieut. Joseph A. Poli, 22, of
Oakland. Calif., University of
California graduate end student
of criminology and political phil
osophy, opened before a board of
12 army officers at nearby Fort
Lewis today, the army an
nounced. Because the case may Involve
confidential military Informa
tion, tlio general court martial,
most serious of army court mar
tials, was being held in closed
sessions.
Lieutenant Poll is charged
with escape and desertion and
with certain specifications in
connection with and involving
tho mailing and distribution of
allegedly seditious literature.
Tho case is believed to bo tho
plots 30 by 50 feet or larger, and
to grow vegetables for home con
sumption the entire season.
Schools in towns and rural
areas are encouraged to develop
school gardens, which should be
planned and managed on a scale
iarge enough to make available
abundant supplies of fresh and
processed vegetables for school
lunches.
Experienced gardeners can
perform an unusually valuable
service, not only in growing
larger and better gardens, where
possible, but in giving advice
and encouragement to new gar
deners. Many city dwellers
probably will be trying their
hands at growing a vegetable
garden for the first time. With
all the help they can get from
professional sources, from seed
dealers and nurserymen, and
from leaflets issued by the U. S.
department of agriculture and
state agricultural colleges, they
still will need the practical sug
gestions that are backed by long
experience. ;;.
NO DILETTANTES WANTED
Gardening In 1943 should be
undertaken with a genuine sense
of responsibility. It will pro
vide city, town and suburban
residents with a worthwhile
outdoor activity which in many
cases will replace normal forms
of recreation. And it will at the
same time provide the oppor
tunity for a serious contribution
to the nation's wartime food pro
gram. Those who plan and start
gardens should be prepared to
take care of them faithfully
right through the season as we
cannot afford to waste seed, fer
tilizer, insecticides and effort
this year.

Charge Op&ns
first of its kind in this country in
World war II which involves the
seditious angle.
That the charges against the
youthful army officer were con
sidered extremely grave was in
dicated by the fact that the court
martial board is composed of 12
officers, only two short of the
maximum under army regula
tions. The minimum number for
a general court martial is seven.
We have fostered the idea and
the practice of a community of
good neighbors. The internation
al law to which we submit our
selves is not an international
law of the Americans alone, but
Is the law of civilized nations
everywhere. Secretary of State

PLANT PROJECT
WASHINGTON, April 28 OP)
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of
the war production board denied
categorically today that Ameri
can power projects had been
halted or delayed to provide ma
terials for the Shipsaw power
project of the Aluminum Com
pany of Canada, Limited, on the
Saguenay river in Quebec.
Nelson released a letter writ
ten by him to Representative
Coffee (D-Wash.), who has intro
duced a resolution, now before
the house rules committee, call
ing for an investigation of power
projects. Coffee has complained
that public projects in this coun
try were halted whilo $62,500,
000 of reconstruction finance
corporation funds were provided
for private Canadian projects to
bring power to the Canadian
aluminum plant.
"You are apparently under the
impression that the Shipsaw
power project has been carried i
through at the expense of our:
own power program, Nelson i
wrote. "This is distinctly not i
the case.
"No American project has been
turned down, delayed, or halted
to make way for Shipsaw. No
materials or equipment intended
for American power projects
have been diverted to Shipsaw.
In fact, most of the materials
and equipment for the project
were supplied by Canadian
sources."

placed him in bed and went

PLANT "DIABETES"
Corn plants are sometimes af
flicted with "plant diabetes."
They form too much sugar in
their tissues and growth is seri

To build one of the barrage

and sea lanes, it takes 136 $100
bonds which cost the purchasers
only $75 each.
