Box 575 BAN BACK BREAKING WORK Victory gardeners who want eood CrOPS With the least work will nlant their vegetables in straight rows, rar enough apart to enable cultivation to be done with a hoe with THIS UAIUX 15VV the gardener standing up. This is the modern way. Gardeners who learned their technique in Europe often broadcast vegetable seeds In beds, with paths between the beds. Then they stand In the paths, bend over, and pull up weeds by hand. This Is the practice which started the idea that gardening Is back breaking work. The bed method has been obsolete ftr many years in America. In a well planned garden the work can be as light as housework, with no job to be done which Is any greater than sweeping. Such a garden requires careful planning to make the rows straight i and parallel, so that a cultivator can oe quicKiy run down the aisle between the rows, destroying all weeds and breaking the crust of the soil in a few minutes. How far apart should the rows be? There Is no magic formula for this, Root vegetables and others which do not grow tall, can spaced as closely as 10 inches In fertile soli; but at ithls distance it Is difficult to cultivate them with tools without disturbing the roots of your crop. ! The best method Is to figure out I what kind of a cultivator you are going to use, and how much room between rows Is necessary so that you can use it. without eettine too close to the vegetables. Make this distance the minimum between your rows, and allow more than this space for crops which grow tall, for those which sprawl or make vines and for those which make large .bushes.. . Eighteen Inches Is a good minimum for most gardens; even a small wheel hoe can be used between rows that close. And when your decision is made, then measure the rows accurately. Don't guess at the distance. Make the COMMON JUSTICE The British Columbia Hotels' Association believe, with every other right thinking citizen, that no price is too high to pay for victory. They have gladly agreed to shorter hours of service in the interests of a unified War Effort. This Association has subscribed to every war finance campaign and every charitable fund of merit sponsored by the Canadian Government, and public bodies, which aided our War Effort, and helped Service men and under-privileged private citizens. This Association subscribes to the principle of moderation, but believes that temperance must be taught and not forced. Prohibition and compulsion have been proven ineffective in the past. Today, restrictions in the consumption of beer are being enforced to such a degree as to menace the principles of democracy for which the Allied nations are now fighting. For thousands of years, men have fought and died for inalienable right to personal liberty. The present curtailment of the beer allowance for the hotels of Hrilish Columbia is a restriction of personal liberty and is not in the interests of the common good or of the successful conduct of the war. Revenue has been reduced to such a degree that the ability of Hotelmen to make large contributions to Canada's War- Effort in endangered. Contributions to necessary charitable funds may also suffer. The sale of beer in British Columbia in the past has made it possible for hotelmen to improve their premises, thus providing fine accommodation for tourists in Hotels throughout British Columbia. Beer consumption is responsible for British Columbia's thriving hop industry. This industry British Columbia Hotels' Association will disappear if the present policy of restriction continues. Present restrictions in beer consumption do not add to Canada's manpower for war work, or in any way increase the efficiency of our War Effort. But of far greater importance is the psychological effect of these new government restrictions upon the men of the Armed Services, the War Worker and the Private Citizen who regard their right to a glass of beer, if they want it, as their own personal right and privilege. Fairness and equity to all citizens is the very foundation of an all-out War Effort. Government officials at Ottawa have the power to remedy this situation by increasing the beer quota during the open hours of service. Action will be taken .only when Ottawa is convinced that public sentiment is wholeheartedly behind this demand. If you believe the present restrictions arc against the best interests of the men in the Armed Services, Private Citizens, and Canada's War Effort, sign and mail this coupon and prove to officials at Ottawa that public sentiment IS behind the demand for common justice in the consumption of beer.
