Raising a Victory Garden is a lot
like fighting a war. It is easy to
join up, but the campaigns which
follow are tough.
You can tell a good gardener
by the mid-summer condition of his
hoe and spraying equipment. If
they shine from ample use, he has
been doing his duty.
Weeds are thieves that take two
all important things away from a
growing garden—water and plant
food. Weeds chopped off or up-
rooted and spread on top of the
ground a3 a mulch, prevent evapo-
ration. Live weeds accelerate the
loss of water, because each living
plant draws moisture from the soil
and throws it off into the air.
Remember also that weeds in
order to grow must take n uri: h-
ment from the soil the same as
does any other plant. Whatever
plant food the weeds take from
garden soil no other crop can get,
and in most sections .here is not
enou h available plant food in the
soil at a given time to support
both weeds and garden crons.
Hoeing also helps conlr 1 cer-
tain per is whitvi lay eggs in tl
ground near plant stems. Cut
worms that Lve near plant st-.n
under the ground can be dug out
wu i 1
tuts kept soil loose. In largo p’
tugs cut worms are be.-t killed by
•■uttering a poison bait of bran

Vi lb., water :{ gallons, all mixed
thoroughly before scaLci ing.
insects likewi ■ rob the garden

Steady use of the sprayer
Vo 4aatroy the marauders is our
«tly «!wt ion. But. in the spray-
ing narration a knowledge of how
t. nmy, when to spray and what
to spray with is essential.
One type of insect is the sucked
which draws sap from the plants
through a bill just as the mos-
quito draws blood from a person.
The other type of insect is a
ehewer which eats the leaves and
blossoms of the plant just as a cow
browses on grass in th-» pasture.
The two types of insects are entire-
ly different in their methods of
feeding, and to poison them, two
entirely different methods must be
used.
Killing the chewing type of in-
sect is relatively simple. Lead
arsenate or similar poison is mixed
with water and sprayed on the
feeding grounds of the chewing in-
sects—which means that leaves,
blossoms and tender stems should
be covered thoroughly. When the

hind all ready for the visiting
ehewer. lie takes the poison with
h’s meal and in duo time symptoms

or worm falls off the plant dead.
The sacking type of insect calls
for another type of attack. His bill
goes right through the layer of
poison on the leaf surface, so no
matter how thick such poison may
be, the sucki r type goes unharmed.
For sucking insects add a teaspoon-
ful of Black Leaf 40 to a gallon of
water. Add a little soap, for soap
suds spreads better than plain wa-
ter. This mixture will kill the s uck-
ing insects which have soft bodies
and therefore arc especially ope*
to attack. *

Farm Income
Farmers in the United States
never have been able to collect fair
pay for their work. When I -ay
“fair pay’’ I mean as much reward
for honest, effective effort as other
men of similar skill get for what
they do. The nearest they ever
came getting equitable return for
what they did was back in 1917
when the average farm worker
earned 84 per cent as much as the
average industrial employee.
Many famous ups and downs have
occurred since 1919 but the earnings
of farm workers experienced the
roughest ride of all. In 1932 farm
wages were only 23 per cent of in-
dustrial wages, on the average, and
in 1942 farm pay averaged 60 per
cent of industrial pay. In other
words, farm workers are in a better
relative position now than they were
ten years ago but their pay still
does not approximate factory pay
and there is no justification for the
difference. As this column has said
before, farming is a skilled occupa-
tion and a hard cr.o..
It was a long stride in the rigni
direction when the President of the
United States began last March 30
to call leaders of the four principal
fnrm organizations into conference.
Many farmers think agricultural
problems have been pretty badly
muddled. They think farm experts
should l ave been called much ear-
lier to help set up a better farm
program, and they hope now that a
-erics of regular discussions has bo-
"un and will not end until the most
. orious tangles in the nation’s food
problem have been straightened out.
Albert S. Goss, Grange; Edv.ard
A. O’Ncrl, Form Bureau; Jane: G.
Patton, Farmers Union, and Ezra
T. Benson. Cooperatives, all attend-
ed the first conference and the sec-
ond on April 7, expressing them-
selves freely to Mr. Roosevelt. In-
terested listeners included the food
czars. Chester C. Davis and Claude
R. Wickard. It is my impression
that until then, m- n with practical
farming knowledge had been con-
sulted far too little in forming na-
tional farm policies.
The First Fruits
America’s big food problem can
not be set right in a few hours by
any set of conferees, but these very
first meetings accomplished much
toward building moral courage. The
farmers I know need a great many
tilings, such as help, machinery and
fertilizer, but the stuff they needed
most, early in the year, was hope.
Now, to say the least, they are more
encouraged.
Although the spokesmen for agri-
culture were not in complete agree-
ment on methods their objectives
were the same and they took a
rational attitude toward the question
of farm prices. One of them, Ezra
Benson, emphasized that “parity'1 is
r.o longer an issue; even price (as
an end in-itself) is not an issue.
“The big objective,” he said, “is to
get food production, and rrice is only
a means to this end.” These words
bespeak real patriotism.
Seeks Practical Men
The Office of War Information has
esl; nated that O'"* l-ess food will be
grown on American farms this year
than last. I believe the actual de-
cline will exceed 6'r, but that cloud
gets a silver lining from the fact
that our President, in this extremity,
called experienced farm experts into
counsel, not cl - room exports full
of unproved theori s. If the same
principle is applied in other impor-
tant fields it will increase confidence
in many quarters.
Half the pc; pie in America depend
directly or indirectly on agriculture
for income. And as a farmer living
in a farming community. I under-
stand why farm prices should not
now be increased enough to equal
wages of factory workers. Today's
farm-price fixtures are undoubtedly
faulty in their relation to food pro-
duction, as well as to factory wages.
Just the same, the nation’s entire
war-time price structure is based on
today's farm prices.
An Unequal Burden
Farmers boar the brunt of wars
and depressions, the same as of
floods and tornadoes. In former
times they have also taken the hard-
est rap in post-war adjustments.
This last mentioned calamity can
and should be avoided. America's
war plans are already made and it
would be a boomerang blow to agri-
culture to change them now. Higher
farm prices would call immediately
for higher wages to offset loftier
living costs for industrial workers,
and there would be no end.
It is every American's duty now
to make price ceilings hold, to guard
against inflation and *tand ready
wln n pence conics to keep men work-
ing and farm markets booming. If
ceilings fail to hold, the runaway-
price balloon will be out and gone,
with the sky for a limit. Just as
this war is more costly than the
other World War, so a price-flight
now wauld be wilder than that of
191) and the inevitable crash worse
than the one that ruined so many
farmers in the 1920's.
A prosperous farm market is es-
sential to genuine prosperity in any
agricultural country. In America's
postwar crisis it will be vital. It
would be an act of long-range wis-
dom on the part of every patriotic
citizen, worker and industrialist as
well as farmer, to exercise his ut-
most influence to increase agricul-
tural parity after the war.

AT METE'S FOOT, < DM MON
DISK \SE ID KING SI M.MEK
—v—
Austin, June 9—The common disease
popularly known as athlete’s foot, is
saitl to be the- third most common dis-
ease seen by skin specialists during
the summer, and the fifth most com-
mon disorder in winter. It is due to
a little mold-like growth or fungus
which thrives best where there is
moisture and warmth. Therefore the
feet make ait ideal place for the grow-
th of this germ.
“To have athlete’s foot, the infection
must be gotten either directly or in-
directly from someone else,” states
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health Affi-
cer. “The most common places to

I WENT window shopping
again yesterday.
I stared into a big, empty
automobile showroom
downtown—and pretty soon
I saw a car.
She was kind of different
from the bus I’m driving
now. She was long, sleek and powerful-
looking. The windshield went clear
around her. There were no gears to
shift. The cooling system w as sealed—
you never touched it.
She had synthetic rubber tires that wear
like iron. And fast? Man! Vi ith that
new high-octane gas her motor certainly
packed a beautiful punch!
So—I made up my mind to buy her,
then and there. And I will, too. One of
these days, after the war’s been over for
a while. I ll walk in and drive her home.
And I’ll slap the money for her right
down on the counter.
