It has been only a relatively
short time since Science discover
ed the exact constituents or ele
ments of vegetables that have the
power of promoting growth and
health. These important elemer^ c
found in vegetables and especial
ly in leafy vegetables, are vitamins
and mineral salts; and experi
ments in human and animal nu
trition have proved their impor
tance for good growth and health
especially in the case of children.
Likewise, the food specialists tell
us that the diet should contain a
certain amount of bulky food. Veg
etables meet these requirements in
the form of fibre or cellulose
Hence, authorities in food and
health recommend the use of a
supply of vegetables in the diet
each day. While no discussion is
here given, it is well known that
fruits of the many kinds have sim-
lilar virtues.
The growing of good gardens
throughout the year is largely a
habit. Many who have recently
developed this habit have found
the home garden not only profit
able but a source of pleasure and
happiness.
Now is a good time to begin
thinking and making plans for the
1945 Spring Victory Garden. The
garden, of course, should be lo-
c^tAd in clo^e proximity of x the
xes'denc? on account of conven
ience. But cn the firm where
plenty of ’and is available, change
the location rf the ncx*- garden,
if possible. This ir. higMv d^lr-
able in order to avoid or lessen
the damages of insects and dis
eases of' the vegetables. Some
vegetables should not be grown in
the same soil two years in succes
sion if best results are to be ob
tained.
If possible to change your gar
den location, it would be desira
ble to immediately apply broad
cast over the new soil stable ma
nure (and maybe complete com
mercial fertilizer) and turn or
break the land deeply before the
winter rains set in.
7f the soil is strongly acid, an
application of dplomitic limestone
or basic slag should be given, es-
reciruy to that portion of the
garden soil where such crops as
cabbage, peas, spinach, beets, etc.,
are to be planted, as these vege
tables will not tolerate an excess
of soil acidity as will other vege
tables like the Irish potato, for
Instance.
Properly care for all the winter
vegetables that you now have in
your garden. Such crops as car
rots, beets, parsnips, and salsify
can be left where grown and dug
as wanted. Pall beets and car
rots later in the season should
have a light furrow (or covering
of soil) thrown over the beds, be
cause these crops are somewhat
susceptible to severe cold.
If your sweet potatoes have not
been harvested, they should be
taken out of the ground imme
diately, and properly stored.
Cultivate your late-planted tur
nips, spinach, and mustard, etc.
Make arrangements for the
planting of a few rows of straw
berries in your garden. It is a
favorite fruit and is the first
fruit of the season.

S WE MOVE closer to victory, it wouldn’t be
surprising if you were saying to yourself—
“What’s the big idea of asking for all this
additional money now? Isn’t the war almost over?**
No sir, it is not 1 Not by a long shot. Of course, for
many months now you’ve heard mostly about the war
with Germany, where our’greatest effort is concen
trated. That’s why many people have the idea that
the war’s practically over.
But make no mistake about it—nothing could be
farther from the truth! The Japanese war is a tre
mendous undertaking, and victory will come high.
We’ll have to fight every inch of the way.
Everything Costs More—
in the Pacific War
The European war is expensive, but almost every
thing in the Pacific war will cost more. Take trans
port costs, for instance: Because of the longer dis
tances, the same amount of freight costs 25 per cent
more when shipped to the South Pacific than to Eu
rope. And it takes twice as many cargo ships in the
Pacific to support a task force of a given size because
turn-around time is twice as great!
More Planes... Tanks... Ships... Oil
In addition, we shall need more of everything. More
B-29 Superfortresses that cost $600,000 each.
More P-47 Thunderbolts that cost $50,000 each.
$67,417 each. More amphibious tanks—more air
craft carriers—more supply ships—more gasoline and
oil than it took for the invasion of Europe!
Care for the Sick and Wounded
And lest anyone forget, we shall need more battalion
aid stations—more clearing stations—more evacua
tion hospitals—more convalescent hospitals—more
hospital ships.
For many, many years the sick, wounded, and
otherwise disabled veterans will require medical at
tention and care. That’s the least Uncle Sam can do
in appreciation of what they’ve done for us.
Maintenance for Millions
Did you ever stop to think how much money it costs
to maintain the 11 to 12 million men and women in
our army and navy? Whether the men are actually
fighting or not, they must be fed, housed, transported
from one training center or battle area to another,
cared for in a hundred and one different ways. That
all costs money and will continue to until the last man
demobilized is back in civilian clothes.
In addition, millions of dollars will be required for
mustering-out pay, for various benefits and services
voted by Congress to help the boys get started in
civilian life.
These are reasons enough why patriotic Americans
will want to buy heavily during the Sixth War Loan.
More M-4, Tanks, with bulldozer blades, that cost But here are still more—
Winning the Peace—for Your Country
If we’re to win the peace as well as the war, the cost
of living must be kept down and the purchasing
power of money preserved. A reckless inflation that
would necessarily be followed by the catastrophe of
deflation—with its unemployment, bankruptcies, mis
ery and heartache—must be prevented at all cost.
Let’s make no mistake—a dangerous period lies
ahead. The American people have nothing to fear,
however, if they show in the future the same common
sense they have shown in the past, and continue to put
every penny over rock-bottom expenses into the pur
chase of more and more War Bonds.
Winning the Peace—for Yourself
Want another important reason? Yourself! There
isn’t a better or safer investment in the world today
than War Bonds. In helping your country, you are
also helping yourself! Never in our entire history has
it been so necessary to save as right now. We 11 need
money, individually, for education, re
pairs, replacements, retirement—and
we’ll need a lot of it.
As you can see there are many
reasons, important reasons, why our
Government must have the financial
support of everyone, and have it for
many months to come.
Let all Americaps do their part—
for their own sake, for their country’s.
