Community of
Jonesboro Has
Victory Garden ?
By VICTOR H. TYNES.
.Victory gardens, foster children of
the present .International crisis, have
played a tremendous part In the supplying
of foods on the "home front
and to the allied fighting forces. A
typical example of a "working" victory
gnrden club Is that of the Jonesboro
community of this city.
The Jonesboro Victory- Garden
| club was organized last spring by
a group of far-sighted women who
were resolved to contribute something
to the war effort as well as to
bolster their own larders. The spirit
of these women was contagious to
the extent that 30 persons became
members of the club. Mrs. P. Jones
was made president; Mrs. O. P.
Graves, secretary, and Mrs. C. Holt,
treasurer.
Through the efforts of J. S. Lea-|
ry, principal of Jonesboro school, the
club obtained permission to use a
part of the school grounds for those!
families that did not have sufficient
garden space at home.
Realizing the necessity of obtaining
expert guidance, the club solicit-]
ed the aid of John W. Mitchell, state
director of farm agents, and B. A.
Hall, " Negro county agent, who met
with the club and gave valuable help
in planning the project. As a result
of having a well-planned program
and well-kept gardens, the club members
raised enough summer vegetables
to care for their table needs
and, in addition, had enough surplusj
to do a great deal of canning.
Exemplary of the club meiul>ers"
'lucrative victory programs la th&t
of Mitchell's Although the victory
garden is of recent birth, Mitchell
has been holding n. demonstration
garden for eight years. He had his
PHrrien on OI>ertneyer and IJndsay
streets, adjacent to his home, until a
miming project i xo years ago roreed
him to_ move It To . solve the land
problem, he got permission to use a
part of the idle land of the GarlandDaniel
estate, which is now part of
the site for the rtew air forces base.
For his gardefa, Mitchell hotight

of 22 varieties of vegetables, which
were recommended by the horticultural

the former governbr's work In behalf

four-story administration building
wmr named In his honor."
Hoey, who spoke generally on the!
attitude of the American people In sol
far as the war is concerned said,
"We have a good philosophy of life
and I don't think the people in
America are complacent. And although
we know of the vicious doings
of the enemy we are not terrified.
We have faith and hope and we
stand unafraid. We have been concerned
with the development of our
resources In order to raise the living
standard of all classes and while we
were doing all these things the enemy
had been mobilising. Suddenly
we saw the overhanging clouds,
called out the state guards. Inaugurat&J
the selective service system
witn ..he result that today we are the
arsenal of democracy of the ijrorld.
We are prepared on land, on the sea
and In the skies. Our great productive
power baa enabled us to transfer
quickly and God has provided ao
much fofr us her^ thai we how lead
In ptodtlctlte capacity on the farm."

The Trojana made their second
