BM Pantrg She 
is a tribute to every victory gardener, for he or she, whether amateur or profes- 
sional, whether successful or not-too-successful, has helped increase the nation’s 
food production. 
To some, the experience was a new venture; you who are gardening for the first 
time; and you who have converted from flowers to vegetables. No doubt some of 
you have made mistakes; but you are the wiser for having made them. The per- 
centage of failures may be traced to a few items, rather than with entire gardens. 
It should give you great pleasure, and make you proud to know, that you have 
succeeded where the gloomy prophets predicted 50% failures; that seed would be 
shamefully wasted. Yes, even some of our officials shared this belief, for their 
remarks in alloting Rotenone Dust for insect killing, were of the nature that the 
material would be wasted. Your results speak for themselves. 
But for your contribution in increasing the food production, the black market no 
doubt would have spread to the pantry shelf. 
Keep up the splendid work this year. While there are some shortages, they are 
not enough to cause undue alarm with the suburban gardener. However, it is 
advisable to order early to be sure of getting your first choice, and quick service.
