Victory Garden Committee Plans For Next Year Monday evening, Oct. 19, the Vicâ€" tory Garden committee of Highland Park met at the city kall to make plans for better gardens next year. In order to have better gardens, the committee feels that all gardeners should know of these plans now. Fall plowing will lighten the load of the gardener when spring comes and will produce better crops. All of the community plots will be plowed this fall and if a home gardener needs help in securing someone to plow his plot, the committee will help if notiâ€" fied at once. * The home gardener or any one rcâ€" turning to the same community plo can lighten his labor on heavy ciay soil by spreading a small quantity oi lime on the surface, either before o: after plowing, provided it is done this fall. There was some confusion last year concerning the enrollment in the Victory Garden program. Those who have a home garden and have cared for it in other years are requested to sign a card as a matter of record, those who want space in the cemâ€" munity plot must sign a card so that the committee can provide the land needed. All will receive whatever aid the committee car give. Plans have been completed for a series of talks on gardens and garden problems during the winter and spring months. These meetings will be held on the third Monday in January, Febâ€" ruary, March and April, at the Comâ€" munity center. The first meeting will be Jan. 19, 1943, This meeting will be an open forum at which persons may discuss problems and hear them disâ€" cussed by others in an attempt to soive them. Specialists in some phase of gardening will be secured as speakâ€" ers for the later meetings. For further information or help call any of the members of the committee listed below. Chairman, C.
