Even More 
Pressing Than Last 
Spring’s Urge an Increase of Food Production 
in This Year’s VICTORY GARDEN 
Plant a war garden for Victory, grow more 
vitamins at your kitchen door. Everyone should 
plant a Victory Garden this year. 
It takes a ton of food to feed one soldier for 
one year. Over a quarter of the food produced in 
the U.S.A.in 1943 will go to feed the armed forces 
and for lend-lease, therefore in order to have suf- 
ficient for civilian use, the importance of having 
a garden to supply a large part of all vegetables 
in the home cannot be over-emphasized. 
Dont’ for 
Victory Gardeners 
1. Don’t start more than you 
can finish. 
Abandoned gardens mean wast- 
ed seed, wasted fertilizers, 
wasted tools and wasted effort. 
2. Don’t be too anxious to start 
your garden. 
Wait until your garden soil is 
dry enough before you start 
your garden. Soil that will 
crumble apart when it is pres- 
sed between the fingers is dry 
enough to be worked. 
3. Don’t plant seed too thickly. 
Planting too much seed will 
mean much thinning—a waste 
of precious seed and labor. 
Learn to space the seed you 
use. Waste of any kind will not 
win the war! 
4. Don’t waste good seed on 
poor soil. 
Gardens need good, well-drain- 
ed soil. Cindery, rubbish-filled 
city lots make poor garden 
plots. Places where weeds flour- 
ish are likely to have good soil. 
5. Don’t plant 
down a hill. 
rows up and 
6. Don’t plant too much of one 
thing. 
7. Don’t let tall plants black out 
shorter ones. 
8. Don’t spare the water. 
9. Don’t let the bugs beat you 
to it. 
10 Don’t use your hoe too ener- 
getically. 
11. Don’t let the weeds win. 
12. Don’t waste your harvest. 
If your garden yields more 
than one can eat, store and pre- 
serve, see that someone gets 
the leftover. Tell your local 
Civilian Defense office about 
them.
