The study, conducted by tho

PLANTING OF
POTATOES AT
With the planting program
now at Its peak, seed potatoes
are going Into the fertile soil of
tho Klamath basin from one end
of the irrigated district to the
other.
Planting of both white rose
and russets Is in full swing. It's
the biggest planting operation in
the history of the basin, with ap
proximately 23,000 acres as
signed to potato growing here In
the "food for fighting" program.
Labor shortage has not been
serious during the planting per
iod, due in no small part to the
efforts of the women of the
basin. Women have pitched In to
help out In cutting and treating
the seed spuds on farms through
out the area, and County Agent
C. A. Henderson said today they
were doing a first class job.
The labor problem, however,
is expected to get increasingly
serious as the season advances,
and will be especially acute at
harvest time.
Most of the potatoes left on
local markets from the 1942 crop
are pretty poor stuff. Heavy In
flux of 1943 potatoes Is not ex
pected until spuds from the Shaf
fer crop reaches this area about
the middle of May. This is about
a month later than the Shatter
arrivals, the crop there being
late due to the cold spring.
Reports Indicate there is a con
siderable re-planting of spuds In
potato districts throughout the
nation, due to cold spells in the
spring.
Farmers here, wise .- to false
springs, have withheld planting
as usual until late April and ear
ly May. The ground is fairly wet
for this period, but planting is
only a week or so behind normal
Red Cross
Noies
Important Notice In case of
illness or other emergency in the
family of a soldier, if the family
will contact the Red Cross, valu
able time will be saved and at
least two telegrams. It is not un
wise for the family to wire a
service man concerning an ill
ness If a doctor has not been con
sulted. The local chapter must
have diagnosis and prognosis of
illness so that correct informa
tion may be sent to the military
authorities at the service man's
post.
Important Notice No. 2 It is
most advisable that service men
advise their relatives of their
serial number, and have the rela
tives make a record of same and
keep it where it is safe and can
be quickly found. Information
cun be much more quickly given
or , received if the war depart
ment is given the service man's
number.
Very Important Klamath
county s quota for surgical dress
ings is away behind schedule. If
you have a son, husband, broth
er or father in the service, surely
you can give a few hours each
week to this most necessary
work. Three hours eech week
would help greatly. You would
be surprised to know how busy
some of our most faithful work
ers are. We have members who
come in from Weyerhaeuser,
who have children, Victory gar
dens and their housework to do,
yet find time to make dressings.

Victory Garden Should Be
Timed for Continuous Crop
Prepared by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture for
NEA Service
In order for the Victory gar
dener to get the maximum re
sults from his undertaking, and
to make the best possible con
tribution to our wartime food
program, the planting schedule
should be arranged to give a
continuous supply of vegetables
as long as the climate of the
locality permits.
It is obvious that if home
grown vegetables add to the nu
tritional value of the .family diet
during one part of the spring or
summer, they will be of value
as long as available. And pro
tective, health-promoting foods
are essential the year around.
QUANTITY IS BIG NEED
Furthermore, by keeping the
supply continuous from spring
through the entire season until
freezing weather cuts off further
growth, rather than planting and
harvesting a single crop, the

tary of Agriculture Claude R
Wickard, the national food ad
ministrator, has said that we
simply can't have too much food
that it will play a vital role
in winning the war and help
straighten things out in a just
peace afterward. . ..
Victory gardeners should
guard against planting so much
of one vegetable at a single
planting that it will result in
surplus and waste. The plant
ings should be planned, in ac
cordance with what can be
grown successfully in your lo
cality at various periods of the
season, to have enough of the
nutritious vegetables your fam
ily likes coming at carefully
spaced intervals. This will keep
fresh vegetables on your tab!?
without waste, and will avoid
gaps during which nothing can
be harvested from the garden.

Any surplus should be canned

PLANNED PLANTING
Although some vegetables are
suited to planting al intervals
over a long period to furnish a
continuous supply, others are
suited to such a narrow range
of changing season thnt succes
sive ptnntlngs are not recom
mended. This memans that some
vegetables, or vnrlotles of one
kind, must be depended on to
a great extent to keep the gap
den producing all the time. How
ever, single plantings of lima
beans, some pole beans, chard,
and tomatoes and, In the south,
of fall collards, kule, spinach
and turnips remain In a us
able stage in the garden for a
considerable time.
It should be understood, oi
course, that successful garden
ing and attainment of the goal
of a continuous supply of fresh
vegetables requires continuous
work and planning and faithful
attention to the investment you
make in fertilizer, seed, time and
effort.
