WISCONSIN HORTICULTURE 
December, 1918 
those who diligently tilled their 
gardens and desire their present 
lots for next year may have them 
again, and, if so desired, may fer- 
tilize them this fall or in spring, 
with the assurance of a continu- 
ous tendency as long as the prop- 
erties are available for such pur- 
pose and as long as the gardeners 
show their good faith by properly 
planting and cultivating. Cap- 
tains will have charge of the plow- 
ing this fall and next spring, di- 
recting said plowing in a way to 
assure proper drainage and 
bounding of lots., which was not 
done last spring. 
The awarding of prizes for the 
best war gardens has been de- 
ferred owing to the very unfavor- 
able conditions, in especially one 
of the large war garden tracts. 
It is hoped conditions next year 
will be miore favorable on all sites. 
About November 1st, will be pub- 
lished a report of the net value or 
earnings of all war gardens in the 
city, as near as practical, of course 
not including the home gardens of 
which Captains have no records. 
The re-allotment of lots will be 
done also by the Captains this fall, 
so that all confusion in the spring- 
rush will be avoided, and work 
started earlier. Additional in- 
formation on gardening, seed, ade- 
quate police, thief, and dog protec- 
tion will be disseminated from 
time to time during this winter. 
No efforts of the Council of De- 
fense will be spared to make the 
War Gardening an ever increasing 
success. All together now, plant 
fruit trees.
