- Vital Defense Measure By Garden Clubs Head
An appeal for home vegetable gardens to be planted by all who hue an oppo ty has been issued by Dr. Albert J. Irving. President of he Men's Garden Clubs of America, LE. 57th St.. New York City.
Pointing out the need for food pro- juctian near large poptulati cen-
Lots to replace shipments from dis-
imn points which may be inter- : mind by war, Dr. Irving called at- ' ,.f,uon to the fact that planting must . .g done this spring to provide pro- . auction for the coming twelve i ..tonihs. To wait until the actual out- " ore.-tk of war might be too late for my practical benefit to be achieved. Dr. irving is the newly elected tr:-csldcnt of the nat' l -:-.aniz-- . mm of ill) Men's Garden Clubs . .ttuch are scattered throughout the united States. i'In the two world wars." said Dr. . ht; mg, "home vegetable gardens tuztivaicd by the amateur garden- . ..-. of this country provided vege-

”Wo should not wait until war romes. to expand homo vegetable production. Every amateur garden- er who has ground on which vege- tables can be grown, should plant them this spring. Experienced gar- dcners have the duty of showing by example how this invaluable source of vitamin-rich foods can be devel-
. nped, without detracting in any way from national production in other fields. Each vegetable garden made nus spring can become a demonstra-

for minions of gardens may come again.
"I assume that in due time a cam- paign for home vegetable gardens will become a part of the official civilian defense campaign. But gar- dens cannot be started at a mo- ment's notice; or crops produced overnight. Protection for the next twelve months depends upon action initiated this spring. I appeal to every home gardener in the nation to devote to vegetables sown this spring, space in his garden sutllcient to supply his family for a year.
”By such a program the funda- mental needs of the nation will be greatly helped by meeting its nu- tritional requirements. In addition it will promote the individual's well being and happiness."
Members of the Jackson. Missis- sippi, Men's Garden Club in a reso- lution adopted December 16. after reciting the importance of Victory Gardens to the national defense in World War II. resolved: "That this club endorse a program encourag- ing families throughout this nation

Most plant diseases are caused by fungi. which are themselves plants, which live as parasites on other plants or organic materials. The most common disease which threatens seed is known as "damp- ing off."
