Still Tiue To Start Your Victory Garden NEW BRUNSWICK — ‘There is still plenty of time for residents of New Jersey to start their Victory Gardens/’ Professor Frank G. Helyar, director of resident instruction at the College of Agriculture, Rutgers University, and chairman of the State Victory Garden and Foods Conservation Committee, stated toi Reports from Victory Garden Committees around the state indicate that many prospective gardeners have become discouraged due to the ‘unseasonable’ April weather and now feel it la too late for them to begin to ‘Dig for Victory,’ ” he declared. “This is not true,” Professor Helyar added, “for gardener* who get busy now have a full month to get in practically all of the ‘must’ crops such as tomatoes, carrots, various kinds of greens and corn. The only thing these persons need in order to have a successful garden this year is the will to prepare the soil, plant the vegetables and cultivate throughout the growing season." TTiese Victory Gardeners will find enough seed for their use if they buy it judiciously. While seedsmen may be out of some recommended varieties, there are still many good varieties available. Fertilizer, lime and other soil nutrients are also still plentiful for those who have not as yet started their gardens. Those gardeners who “jumped the gun” by planting their vegetables before maple and oak leaves were out have gained little

The Cape May Unit of the Auxiliary is making exteh preparations for the observance of Poppy Day here, .under the leadership of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. £amea West, unit poppy chairThe little red flowers of membrance will be available to everyone in the city, offered by volunteer workers from the Auxiliary who wQl be on the streets throughout the day. More Americans than ever before are expected to wear poppies this year as a personal tribute to those who have been kOled and to aid the disabled, their families and families of the dead. “The wearing of the poppy is a personal pledge that we will not ‘break faith’ with those who died but will carry on to the achievement of the things for which they gave their • lives," d Mrs. West. Millions of Americans will wear the poppy this year as a tribute to the dead —of both World Wars and a mark of their determination to conclude this war with complete victory. The flower is the symbol of life given in service for America. The wearer makes an unspoken pledge to the nation's heroic dead that he will live as they died, serving America." No price will be asked for the flowers, the pennies of children being just as welcome as the dollars of the wealthy. A poppy over every heart is the goal. Contributions given to the Auxiliary’s voluntueer poppy workers will go in their entirety to the rehabilitation and child welfare funds of the American Legion and Auxiliary, where they will help support the Legion's and Auxiliary's efforts for the disabled righting men of both wars, and for the Children of the dead and disabled.

SETTING OUT PLANTS By Dr. Charles H. Connors, N.J. College of Agriculture To get a jump on the season and so secure early maturity, plants raised in a hotbed, coldframe or even in the house by the ambitious gardener can be set out in the garden directly from the seed boxes very early in tae spring. These plants must, however, be hardened off by gradual exposure to low temperatures so they will not suffer too much of a setback, or even beJtiUed, by the low night temperatures , that are bound to occur in'early spring. As soon as the soil can be\ fitted, after danger of severe freezing is past, the following vegetahles may be set out as plants:, cabbage. Swiss chard, loose-leaf

For seedlings that are small, a pointed stick like a piece of broomstick msy be used as a dibble for planting. Dibbles may also be purchased. Make a

If the pressure is only downward, an air space may be left around the roots and they will dry out. Here is where the danger comes in planting in too wet soil or having the soil about the roots of the plant too wet. With pressure, the wet soil is compacted and will later dry out in a brick-like mass into which moisture can penetrate only with difficulty. The plant may die. For setting out larger plants, s trowel is better than a dibble.
