The reason why golf balls are '
dimpled is tins When the uutta
percha ball was first introduced, j
its surface was quite smooth. Hut
golfers soon found that after it had |
been jagged and cut by the elub,
it not only carried better, but flew
straighter. So some golfers start
ed to nick the ball deliberately. |
From that step it did not take |
long for manufacturers to indent j
the balls themselves.
Manufacturers have to be care
ful of the mould which makes the
dimples. If the recesses are too
shallow the ball does not fly true,
and if they are too deep it does
not carry well.

Undo Sam's wartime food
needs have put the all-but-for
gotten family vegetable garden
back on the map. Millions of
Americans ore now poring over I
seed (wtnlog? HUrhpokini! tools
and eyeing likely planting sites.
Once the frost is gone, an
army of gardeners recruited
from farms, small towns and
big cities will prepare the earth
with spades and fertilizers. Then
will come seeding, weeding and
cultivating in a vast effort to
produce plenty of fresh vege
tables. F. O R . the kitchen
door.
This elTort is part of a great na
tional Victory Garden program. In
the weeks since Pearl Harbor, offi
cials of the U. S. department of ag
riculture have been consulting with
gardening experts from every state.
Organizations everywhere have
pledged their aid--garden clubs. Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts, Campflrc Girls,
4-H clubs. As the program aovelops,
activities will follow two major
lines:
1. Farmers and their families
throughout the lTnitcd States
will co-operate by planting
5.760.000 vegetable gardens.
2. Small town and big city
dwellers will sponsor commu
nity and school gardens, and
wherever possible individual
family Victory gardens.
This newest move in the war on
the Axis is reminiscent in many
ways of the stirring days of World
War No. 1, when back-yard garden

ers did their bit to make good the
slogan: "Food Will Win the War."
But there are wide differences, too,
and it is hoped that many of the
mistakes of the 1917-18 war garden
program will be avoided this time.
The last war demonstrated: that
home gardening can contribute im- |
purtantly to the food supply. In 1SJ17 i
alone. 1,150.000 acres of city and I
town land were under cultivation. By
1918 there were 5,000,000 gardens
Fresh Vegetables for the Family
Red beets . . . beans . . . lettuce . . . carrots . . . tomatoes . . . are
just a few of the vegetables this young lady, busy in her garden, can look
forward to during the coming months. During those months the family
will not only have fresh vegetables that will keep them healthy and
strong, but there will be plenty left over to can and preserve for con
sumption during the following winter.
which produced 52?5,000.000 pounds
of food.
But there was waste and unncco
sary sacrifice, too. Many a hopeful
bin city garden yielded nothing but
blisters and backaches. In some
places park lawns, golf courses and
public recreation areas were plowed
up and planted to potatoes. Orna
mental plantings in private grounds
were sacrificed: flowers were for
gotten to make room for vegetables;
and gardens were attempted in con
gested big city locations where suc
cess was obviously impossible.
Today an abundance of land is
available for Victory Gardens with
out sacrificing landscape beauty or
the growing of flowers which are
just as important to morale, as vege
tables are to physical well-being.
This is particularly true in small
towns and in the suburban areas of
big cities.
Nutrition Is Watchword.
Nutrition is the watchword of the
present program. First of all, our
soldiers must be well nourished. So
must defense workers in fields and
factories. Britain, Russia and our
other allies must be kept supplied
with food. But the program goes
beyond that. A battle is being waged
on the home front against malnutri
tion. Regardless of how long the
World war lasts, the nutrition battle
at home will go on until every Amer
ican is receiving enough of the right
kinds of food.
In considering the two main
phases of the Victory Garden pro
gram, the farm effort will of course
be the backbone. Every farmer who
can possibly do so will have a gar
den where he can produce fresh
vegetables and fruits for home use
and have some surplus to market.
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
summed up the movement's philoso
phy when he told delegates attend
ing a recent confcrence in Washing
ton:
"This situation is different from
1917. Then the effort was to save
food so there would be plenty for
our troops in Franco. Now the need
is for a balanced diet. When the
farm family grows its own vegeta
bles, it eats more and thus im
proves the family's health. We hope
for an increase of 1,300,000 farm
vegetable gardens in 1942. The goal
we have set is 5 760,000.
"Growing vegetables on the farm
puts the food right where it is to be
used; it doesn't take any freight
cars or trucks to move food to those
families. Home vegetable gardens
release more commcrcia! vegetables
for other purposes. Commercially
canned vegetables are packed in tin
? and we are short of tin."
As a reinforcement to the farm
garden movement, the work of small
town and big city gardens will help
swell Uncle Sam's food output.
In communities large and small
every family that has access to a
favorably situated plot for producing
part of its food supply is being asked
to join a Victory Garden club.
From industrial centers and other defense localities now working at
top speed for the nation's Victory program, the excellent business condi- i
tions found there are overflowing into the more rural sections of the
United States as the above map shows. As farm crops and rural pro
duction increases better business conditions will show in the "fair" areas
of the U. S.
These town and city gardeners are
being cautioned that their gardens
must be economical: that every
seed, every pound of fertilizer and
every implement counts; that there
must be no waste. The members of
these garden clubs will meet and
discuss their problems together and
obtain guidance from experts. Pro
visions are being made in many
cities by the Civilian Defense or
ganization for the establishment rt!
community gardens in which plots
are assigned to families that do not
have fertile garden soil of their own.
Schools and organizations are pro
moting the program.
How big a job is it to put in a
garden and make it producc suc
cessfully?
Simple to Garden.
It's relatively simple, according to
gardening experts. They point out
that with modern knowledge of soils,
plant foods, new tools and the im
proved vegetable varieties devel
oped by plant breeders, it is possi
ble to grow fresh vegetables for the
family in a favorable location with
only a few hour's light exercise each
week.
The secret of effective gardening
lies in the size of the plot. Too big

meals.
a garden is likely to be neglected.
One just large enough, producing
the vegetables a family needs and
no more, in balanced proportions
can be kept well without hard work.
Another secret is in not trying to
grow too large a variety. One au
thority suggests six different vegeta
bles as a basis ? tomatoes, snap
beans, carrots, cabbage, lettuce and
greens. All are high in food and
vitamin value. Moreover, tomatoes,
beans, carrots and greens can be
easily canned.
These gardening experts will tell
you one more thing ? that you've got
to feed the soil if you expect it to
produce for you. This means pro
viding it with plant food. And this
is just as true if you garden on the
farm or in town. The average farm
er knows by experience with field
crops that fertilizer will enhance the
size of his crop, increase its re
sistance to disease, improve the
quality and promote all-around
hardiness. He will apply that
knowledge in making his Victory
garden contribute to the national
defense. The city gardener can
profit by the farmer's experience.
The three fertilizer elements most
needed for plant growth are nitro
gen, phosphorus and potash. These
elements are mentioned in this or
der in the analysis of commercial
fertilizer.
"For effective gardening use,"
I said one authority, "it has been
found advisable to apply the ferti
lizer before planting time, mixing it
in thoroughly with the soil when the
first spading or plowing is done. The
quantity to apply will vary with the
soil type, but the Victory Gardener
will be safe in using 5 pounds of a
mixture such as 5-10-5 to each J00
square feet of garden.
