JicteiyGmfis The National Garden Conference of the U. S. Department of Agriculture recently closed its three-day meeting with a recommendation for a nation al goal of twenty million Victory Gar dens in 1946. This new goal repre sents an increase of a million and a half over the estimated number of gardens planted in 1945. Garden lead ers from all over the country attend ed the conference and started the big gest gardening campaign ever under taken to add millions of tons of food to the total Bupply in order that large quantities of food might be sent to the starving people of war ravaged countries. President Truman set the keynote for the conference, pointing out that every pound of food from home gardens will release an equiva lent amount of food for famine relief. Chester Davis, Chairman of the Famine Emergency Committee stated t&al; "The more gardens we have, the mom-food; we can send abroad, and the mere lives we can save. Secre tary of Agriculture Anderson told th conferees: TThere is more need for Victory, Gardens in this first year of peace than there was in any year of the war." Secretary of Commerce Wallace said that "More people would go hungry in the next three months than in any like period in history. Victory Gardens help to- prevent inflation of food prices, which are al ready at an all time high. The' great conflict is over but now we face a global war against hunger. Hundreds of millions of people are now suffer ing for the bare food necessities and doubtless many will starve. Victory Gardens will help to win this terrific battle against starvation. 1 ' 1 Modern Pig Pens Save Hogs For Mart Even pigs have gone modern.

If the pig to valued at $10, the cost of the brood er would,- be returned four times through its protection of one litter. "An electric pig brooder is normal ly built in triangular shape so that it will fit jbi one corner of the" far rowing pen floor. A hole 10 inches in diameter is made through the center of the triangle into which an ordin ary metal light reflector is fitted. The reflector is plugged with a weather proof socket which will accommo date a 200-watt incandescent bulb of the type commonly used in the home. Wiring can be led from the nearest farm outlet. (If the farm has not yet been wired for electricity, considera tion of the pig pen should be includ ed in the wiring plan). "Since the electric load introduced by the brooder will be very small, its use will not cause concern for the efficient operation of other electrical farm imprements. Unless the wire must be run a great distance, a No. 12 weather-proof wire is recommended." Ceilings Lifted On Strawberries The Office of Price Administration has notified the State Department of Agriculture of the suspension of price controls on strawberries, red and black raspberries, dewberries and blackberries, effective immediately. The Agriculture Department Statis tics Division said that the year's strawberry crop will be from 35 to 40 per cent larger t$an that of 1945. OPA declared that the great amount of administrative work neces sary to control fresh berry prices is out of proportion to the results ob tained. It added, however, that mar ket trends will be watched and if prices rise too sharply, control will be reinstated.

Pulpwood hertase v , Demand for practically all grades of paper, paperboard and other pulp wood products is expected to continue far in excess of supply, according to the Jatest issue of the monthly In dustry Report on Pulp and Paper re leased by the U. S. Department of Commerce. With all or most of the recent wave of strikes settled or in the pro cess of settlement, the Commerce bul letin pointed out, "reconversion will be accelerated and it is likely that the paper supply demand will remain out of balance for some time to come." The Commerce bulletin declared that we may look for continued short ages in "building boards and paper, printing papers, kraft wrapping and grocery bag paper, wrapping tissue, container board and folding and set up box board." "In some cases," the bulletin stat ed, "priority need for products essen tial have taken substantial capacity away from regular Items." "Then too," the bulletin asserted, "production has felt the effects of pulpwood shortages," resulting from manpower shortages in the woods that continue critical. In looking ahead through the next tnree month period, the Commerce Department predicts that some mills may have to curtail production un less a substantial increase in pulp is made available to these mills. Mills in this area are in urgent need of more top quality pulpwood NOW.
