PAGE SIX FV. ... Advised Fertilizer And Seed Situation The supply of vegetable seed prom ises to be sufficient for 1943 Victory Garden needs, but the situetion is tight, especially for onion, beet and carrot seeds, the U. S. Department of Agriculture reported today. In no case, however, is the supply sufficiently large to permit a waste of seed through careless sowing, neg lect of a planted garden, or attempt to garden on soil too poor to produce vegetables. In response to many requests, the Department emphasized that it does not have garden seeds of any kind for sale or for free distribution to any individual or group. It pointeJ out that seeds of most types of vegetables usually may be purchased from regular seed dealers and also are commonly available in small packets distributed by the large seed concerns through retail stores, such as general merchandise stores, hardware stores, drug stores, variety stores and irrocery stores. Garden seeds also may be ordered from the' seed houses which send out seed cata logs each year. Persons or groups planning Victory Gardens should not write to the De partment of Agriculture for seeds, es it does not have seeds either for Bale or for free distribution. Victory gardeners also are re minded that a special garden fertili zer has been authorized by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Wa- Production Board for use this year. It is labeled "Victory Garden Fertilizer For Food Production Only," and is sold by fertilizer deal era by private brand name in 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100-pound bags. It con tains 3 percent nitrogen, 8 percent phosphoric acid, and 7 percent pot ash. This 3-8-7 formula is consider ed the best grade of fertilizer that can W made available during: the wartime emergency, as the supply of chemical nitrogen has been somewhat curtailed in comparison with last year, because of war needs. vciorv uiTDcncrs ' " A far i L daughter, Kay, were Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. DeWitt Wins low.

C 4-H Qubs Select Victory Projects The 4-H "Mobilization for Victory" campaign among 500,000 boys and girls in North Carolina is now in the stage of local organization, says i. R. Harrill, 4-H Club leader at N. V. State College. Recruits for the jun ior axmv of food production and food conservation soldiers have been sign ed up and local club leaders are being selected. Programs for the year will be outlined and each boy and girl will take a oroiect. Gardening, meat production, dairy-1 ing, poultry, small fruits, foods and nutrition, food preservation, clothing, and home management are the most important projects open to club members. In a statment this week to 4-H boys and girls, Mr. Harrill said that the men of the Army, Navy, Marine, Coast Guard, Air Force and other branches are giving all of their strength and vitality to defend the freedom and continued existence of! this country. Those who remain at home must do their fighting on the home front. "We must see to it," he said, "that these men have all the supplies of food, clothing, munitions and neces sary equipment needed to wage a successful and victorious war." There were 100,000 North Carolina bovs and eirls in the club forces last year and it is hoped that this army can be increased to 150,000 this year, Mr. Harrill said.
