GEIGER AP Newsfeature Writer The U.S. Department of Agriculture, after surveying the food and seed supply situation, has approved a 1951 home garden campaign. Secretary Brannan said these home gardens would "help improve the diets and the health of our people." Agriculture Department officials emphasize that no shortages of food are in sight today. But they say the future is so uncertain they believe it advisable to begin the development of a national home garden program, such as the Victory Garden campaign of World War II. Many gardeners may find it will take a year or two to get their garden plots into efficient production. If a garden program is started now, and thousands of home owner participate, Agriculture officials say these thousands of gardens would be a major asset if a food crisis should develop. Pointers on Garden Site The latest edition of the Department's garden manual, Growing Vegetables in Town and Country, makes these suggestions about selecting a site: 1. It should have at least six hours a day of direct sunlight with no obstructing trees or buildings. 2. It must be well drained. If it is wet for days after a storm, or if water washes over it during storms, it is not suitable. 3. The best gardening soil is a deep, dark sandy loam that can be spaded into a loose, crumbly condition. If possible avoid thin and stony and heavy, clay-like soils. 4. Usually land that is the most level is the best garden site. It will be less damaged by hard storms. 5. In most parts of the country the garden should be near the house, or a water supply, so that it may be irrigated if or when necessary. In wet areas this is not a problem. SPRING PLANTING—Sam C. putting in a vegetable garden The latest edition of the Department's garden manual, Growing Vegetables in Town and Country, makes these suggestions about selecting a site: the garden should be near the house, or a water supply, so that it may be irrigated if or when necessary. In wet areas this is not a problem. CONSTRUCTION—Five room frame house at 738 N. Helena soon to be the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Remillard. It will be finished in French provincial style and features a partial basement floor, and indoor-outdoor living at the back. Builders Hope World War III Will Not Interrupt The spacious new house under construction at 738 N. Helena soon is to be the home and Mrs. H. E. Remillard who are now living at 853 N. Zeyn. In 1941, the Remil plans for building the house were halted by the war. They are going ahead now because international conditions interrupt building again. The dwelling, situated on a choice 80x135 foot lot, is to be a five room frame house of square feet. Following a French provincial motif, the exterior will be faced with ruffled red brick under the windows, and the brick facing will extend to the attached garage. Red brick will also be used to make a serpentine walk from the sidewalk to the front entrance. Utility Room Unusual in this locality is the basement utility room. It is located directly under the kitchen and will house water softener, forced spring planting—Sam Christenson putting in a vegetable garden his "home-farm." He has added Anaheim's suburbs for vegetation and a few chickens. Five food living area. include a comfortable three-bedroom ranch-type house and space for outdoor living, vegetable garden, berry patch, orchard and few chickens. The vegetable garden is S. Christenson's department finds this climate very different from that of the South Dakota farmland from which he can Back there the two or three months growing season was all too short Here, he is delighted to be able to garden the year round. He fence Protection The first thing he did after allotting garden space conveniently near the house was to fence in with a five-foot tongue grape redwood fence, put together in six foot sections. The screened the garden from the outdoor recreational area and enclosed stray animals, chickens and children. Spring planting is underway now. Christenson chooses planting green beans, lima bean Irish potatoes, sweet potato parsnips, squash, lettuce, onion sets, corn, radishes, carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes. He already gained several weeks growing time by planting mato and pepper plants under "cape" to protect them from a possible late frost. Perennials The perennial fruits and vegetables are in Mrs. Christenson's department. She snatches time from tending her very lowly flower garden. She has trained the vines three different varieties of grape to grow over an arbor and have encouraged long rows of boysenberry and raspberry bushes. Susie Wanted That EXTRA ROOM Fixed I found everything I needed for easy, expensive fixing and now we are enjoying more comfort. Plaster walls will be used throughout the house with the exception of one wall in the living room. The wall surrounding the brick fireplace will be finished in hand-rubbed Honduras mahogany. The living room is not at the front of the house but faces the back instead, opening on a covered porch which will be screened. The outdoor area which adjoins the porch will be landscaped for outdoor living. The house has two bedrooms, bath, dining room and kitchen. Kitchen plans call for natural birch cabinets and space for automatic laundry equipment and for dining. In keeping with the French provincial theme, the dining space in the kitchen will be furnished in maple. Construction began on Jan. 27, and the family hopes to move in about the middle of May. H. E. Remillard well known in the community, is an engineer at North American Aircraft. Plants for Summer Bloom Numerous There are a number of colorful plants—perennials and free flowering dwarf shrubs—to be planted now for summer bloom. Lantanas bloom the year around and are useful as low shrubs and for borders. The dwarf type is popular, and comes in shades of red, rose, gold, orange, buff and pure white. Heliotrope, another favorite, may be grown in pots, beds, window boxes or as specimen plants. The flower clusters, in purple and lilac tones, are richly fragrant.

They base it on the rows of glistening homemade jams and jellies and the home-canned fruits and vegetables that line their preserve closet. They base it on the fresh eggs they enjoy for breakfast.
